Score LG’s 27-inch 1440p gaming monitor at a new low price of $280 today

LG’s 27GL83A-B 27-inch gaming monitor has dropped to a new low of $279.99 at Amazon. The screen has been selling for around its $380 list price since last year, and even when it dropped in price during the holidays it never went below $300. Today’s sale is the best we’ve ever seen, including a $285 drop during Prime Day last year. The same display is still going for around $400 at other retailers, too, so Amazon’s price is a real bargain by comparison.

You get 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, a 1ms response time despite the amazing color of the IPS panel, and a 144Hz refresh rate. The connectivity includes DisplayPort and HDMI. Plus it is wall and arm mountable so you can remove it from the stand.

This is my personal recommendation for the best “bang for your buck” gaming monitor. You get all the stats a gamer should love, including a 144Hz refresh rate, a 1ms response time, and 1440p pixel resolution. Plus it uses an IPS panel while still getting that response time, which means you get great viewing angles and color accuracy.

While the monitor has native AMD FreeSync, it is also Nvidia G-Sync compatible. Just connect via DisplayPort to use the G-Sync, which is what you’ll need to use to get up to 144Hz refresh rate anyway. It works great.

The monitor has a very adjustable stand, but it also uses the VESA 100 x 100mm standard. That means you can just attach it to a wall or arm mount instead and forego the stand altogether. With the virtually borderless design, these monitors look good stacked next to each other. I use this mounting arm, which is 10% off right now, with two of the screens for my personal build.
