LG is still giving away a free 27-inch gaming monitor, but you'll have to hurry
The ZDNET team got to test out some LG UltraGear monitors.
June Wan/ZDNET
LG is one of the top names in high-end OLED monitors, and right now, during its Memorial Day sale, you can save $200 on the 27-inch OLED UltraGear gaming monitor, bringing the price down to $800. Plus, you’ll get a free second 27-inch curved UltraGear screen and exclusive in-game loot for Monster Hunter Wilds.
Also: Sony will give you a free 55-inch 4K TV right now, and there are several ways to qualify
This OLED gaming monitor offers 1440p resolution and a 480Hz refresh rate for incredible detailing, signature OLED picture quality, and ultra-smooth motion during fast-paced gameplay and cutscenes. It also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync VRR technology to help prevent screen tearing and stuttering, which can ruin immersion and put you at a disadvantage during online matches.
Also: The best gaming PCs you can buy
The free monitor on offer from LG is the 27-inch curved VA UltraGear with 1440p resolution, a 180Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and support for AMD FreeSync VRR. This makes it an almost perfect choice as a second screen for streaming, game chat, or recording your gameplay while you play your favorite titles on your primary monitor. And if that wasn’t already a sweet enough deal, when you buy the 27-inch OLED UltraGear.
It’s easy to take advantage of this deal. All you have to do is add both monitors to your cart, and the discount is automatically applied. And with free standard ground shipping, you could pay as little as $860 for both screens, including taxes. If you’re interested in the Monster Hunter Wilds ammo pack, you’ll get an email after your purchase is confirmed with a digital redemption code.
You can also take advantage of LG’s Buy More, Save More sale event, which allows you to stack even more savings, up to 10%, if you buy two or more monitors at the regular price. But you’ll have to hurry; the free monitor bundle offer expires on June 1.

How I rated this deal
While it’s not the steepest discount we’ve ever seen on an LG UltraGear gaming monitor, a $200 markdown on an OLED screen is still a decent deal. And when bundled with the free 27-inch curved monitor and in-game loot for Monster Hunter Wilds, it’s an even better value for DIY PC builders and RPG fans. That’s why I gave this deal a 3/5 Editor’s deal rating.
The LG UltraGear 27-inch OLED gaming monitor has several different offers, each with an expiration date. The free extra monitor bundle offer runs through June 1, 2025, and the Monster Hunter Wilds in-game loot is available with purchase through February 23, 2026.
