This LG Smart Gaming Monitor Is Currently Discounted to $850.
The LG UltraGear 39GX90SA-W monitor has dropped to $749.99 on Amazon from its original price of $1,599.99, making it its lowest price yet, according to price tracking sites . It’s a 39-inch ultrawide monitor that feels enormous in person, especially thanks to its 800R curved panel, which immerses you in games in a way that smaller ultrawide monitors typically don’t. Racing games, open-world titles, and cinematic titles look especially good here, as the OLED panel gives dark scenes real depth and color without the washed-out look that many LCD gaming monitors still struggle with. The 240Hz refresh rate also helps games feel smooth with minimal motion blur, whether you’re playing competitive shooters or something more sedate.
The UltraGear 39GX90SA-W monitor comes pre-installed with LG’s fully featured webOS smart TV software, essentially turning it into a smart TV disguised as a gaming monitor. You can access Netflix, YouTube, Crunchyroll, Xbox Cloud Gaming, or GeForce Now without connecting a PC or console—and while this sounds like a marketing ploy at first, it’s actually very convenient for those who spend a lot of time at a desk and want to use a single screen for work, gaming, and streaming. The USB-C port also helps with this, as it supports 65W charging, meaning laptop users can connect and charge their device with a single cable.
The monitor is loaded with ports, including HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, Ethernet, USB-A, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi 6; you won’t be short on ways to connect your devices. However, the 3440 x 1440 resolution on the 39-inch screen isn’t as sharp as a 4K panel, so text may appear less crisp if you spend all day reading documents or editing spreadsheets. The built-in speakers also seem weak for such a large monitor. They’re adequate for watching YouTube videos or playing background music, but they lack the volume and depth for gaming or movies. Still, if you’re looking for a huge OLED display that can handle games, movies, work, and streaming video simultaneously, this makes the 39GX90SA-W a much more appealing choice than it was at launch.
