B&H cuts the price on this 27-inch LG monitor — save up to $90, today only

By Ed Oswald Updated May 23, 2019

Looking for a great monitor for gaming? Head over to B&H’s website to save nearly 50% on LG’s 27MK430H-B 27-inch Monitor with FreeSync. But you don’t have much time to act: this deal expires at midnight Eastern Time. Normally $190 at B&H, its DealZone sale cuts the price to just $100, and you’ll get free shipping, too.

Gaming on this monitor is a dream. Why is it so good? It’s the built-in AMD FreeSync technology. FreeSync matches your display’s refresh rate with your graphics card’s frame rate, which reduces tearing, stutter, and ghosting to make gaming feel more fluid. While we haven’t tested this particular model, we have tested others with FreeSync and the differences are noticeable.

We’ll also note that FreeSync hardware in our experience seems to be consistently more expensive than hardware based on Nvidia’s G-Sync platform, so seeing a deal this good on a FreeSync monitor isn’t all that common. We’d especially recommend this if you’re already using an AMD graphics card, as obviously they’ll play together nicely.

Reviews of the monitor are overwhelmingly positive: many pointed to the image quality and brightness as big selling points, although some did note that images might not be as crisp as you get with some higher-end LG monitors. For the large majority of us though, this monitor’s going to be a significant step up both in size and quality.

At the price, too, it’s a great way to add a second monitor to any setup and not just gaming (that’s what the author of this story plans to do). If you’ve ever worked on a dual-monitor setup, and frequently flip between applications, you’ll know just how much more efficient it is.

B&H has a couple of other good deals on DealZone today which you might want to check out while you’re there, including one on the Lenovo 17.3-inch ThinkPad P71 Mobile Workstation. Normally a $4,000 computer, B&H has sliced the price by nearly half there as well — it’s $2,199 until midnight.

LG claims new 27-inch UltraGear is world’s fastest 4K gaming monitor

27'' UltraGear 4K UHD Nano IPS 1ms 144Hz G-Sync Compatible Gaming Monitor.

If you're a gamer who refuses to compromise on resolution or speed, LG's new 27-inch UltraGear Gaming Monitor checks off a lot of boxes. A 4K UHD resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz already qualify the UltraGear as an impressive gaming companion, but LG also added a super-speedy 1ms gray-to-gray response time, making it the first of its kind in the world. To achieve this feat, LG claims that the UltraGear 27GN950 utilizes VESA Display Stream Compression technology.

"The VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) technology in the 27GN950 can deliver virtually lossless 4K UHD images in 10-bit color with a 144Hz refresh rate via just a single DisplayPort cable," the company said in a statement, noting that the panel delivers immersive pictual quality without sacrificing on features like input lag and refresh rates.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place
