Looking to leap into the realm of multi-monitor setups, or just need to upgrade your current displays? Right now at LG, when you preorder the 27-inch UltraGear OLED gaming monitor, you can get the 27-inch UltraGear LED monitor for free (a $300 value). And while the OLED model is on the pricey side, this bundle deal lets you get two high -nd gaming screens for the price of one.

The new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor features the brightest and fastest screen from the brand. With a maximum brightness of 300 nits, it might not sound impressive, but it helps strike the delicate balance between picture quality and power efficiency. It also has a 540Hz refresh rate for super-smooth action during fast-paced gameplay or cutscenes, while the 0.02ms response time gives you more control over your inputs.

While the LG UltraGear OLED doesn’t have integrated speakers, it does have a headphone port that supports DTS Headphone: X audio processing for cleaner in-game sound and voice chat. It also supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro VRR to prevent annoying screen tearing and stuttering that can throw you off in both on- and offline play. It’s also factory-calibrated for optimal picture quality, so you don’t have to spend hours fine-tuning your screen yourself.

The LG UltraGear LED gaming monitor is the little brother of the OLED model, offering premium features such as a 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, HDR10 support, and the ability to reproduce up to 99 percent of the sRGB color gamut for more lifelike images. While it’s not quite as fast as the OLED version, it’s an excellent option for a second screen.
How I rated this deal
I do wish that LG were offering a preorder discount on the new 27-inch UltraGear OLED, but getting a $300 27-inch UltraGear LED monitor for free more than makes up for it. Both screens are tailor-made for high-end gaming featuring high refresh rates, support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium/Pro VRR, and signature LG picture quality so even retro classics look great. That’s why I gave this deal a 4/5 Editor’s rating.
LG is offering a free 27-inch UltraGear LED gaming monitor with every preorder of the new 27-inch UltraGear OLED screen through Feb. 2, 2026. Monitors are expected to ship on Feb. 2.
