LG UltraGear 27GN950-B 27" 4K IPS 144Hz 1ms HDR Adaptive-Sync RGB LED Monitor $1349 + Delivery @ Shopping Express

100

Great price for this monitor, was pretty much scarce like gpu until recently, so a discount is a good discount

About $20-$30 for delivery

If you think the price is too high, just consider that 10 LL120 in an O11 already cost like $500

I'm fairly sure stock is quite limited for this, so if you want it, be ready at 10pm

    Weirdest flex ever with the LL120s.

    • that's how I justify my purchase decision for pc parts these days

      • +7

        you found something expensive to justify all the other expensive things you can buy… got it… :) I usually justify it with the price of cows.

        Pregnant cows, worth $1,200 a head in northern New South Wales three years ago now have a $2,000 price tag, while heifers have gone from $350 a head to $800 in three years.

        I think people can relate to cows about as much as the cost of 10 LL120s in a O11 :).

        • I mean I'm sure that at least 1 out of 10 pc guy has an o11

          If you want to be really scared, a caselab pc case is over $2k used and that is just the pc case

          • @ln28909: I've seen people put R5 builds in O11's with LL120's instead of buying an R9 and putting it in FARA R1 with a 5 pack of ID-cooling SF120's…

            All for the one pic they post to facebook that no one cares about…

          • @ln28909: :) I did not want to be mean and say that, good to see we can still poke at each other without people getting mad.

            Full disclosure: I have 3 LLs.

          • @ln28909: I think you mean 1 in 100 PC guys have heard of an o11

            • @Radiskull: no, I believe he is correct 1 in 10 people have a o11. Proof is in the youtube videos. Everybody and they grandma have a o11 video build.

    But HDMI 2.0..?

    • Just pasting from a review for visibility before console friends ask..

      It has a high 144Hz refresh rate, but you can only achieve that refresh rate over a DisplayPort connection and you need a high-end graphics card to take full advantage of this monitor. It lacks HDMI 2.1 support and can only achieve 4k @ 60Hz over an HDMI connection.

    I'm still trying to figure out why this monitor is so expensive?

    • +1

      4k at 144HZ is the reason why
      Unless you have the recent rtx3070-3090 cards, it's not worth it

      • if you play CS GO or e sport non competitively, it's not bad, can probably run on a 2080+

      • and IPS

        Iv considered it as an upgrade from my 27ul850 but even with a 3080 i reckon 4k is still going to cost more frames than im willing to give up

        • True I have a gtx1070 laptop playing on a 4k 60hz monitor and getting 30fps on a lot of AAA games

      • yep. how many 4k 144hz ips panels are out there?

        granted there's this nonsense"

        HDR10 Technology with VESA DisplayHDR 600 on Brightness: 400 cd.m2 - try work that out!

        • It's got an edge-lit backlight array with 16 local dimming zones. Peak brightness in HDR on this monitor can exceed 700 nits. It's not as good as a FALD monitor (which there's 4 of in the market and they all cost $3k+) but it's one of the better units out there for HDR.

          It's also got much better response times than any other 4k144 panel on sale currently.

    • IPS with a high refresh and relatively high resolution is why.

      New wave of high refresh 32" ips 4k monitors coming out soon. Wait till you see the prices are on that.

        yikes not sure if even rtx3080 will be able to handle 32" 4k gaming

        • +1

          The physical size doesn't affect GPU requirements at all.

          • -4

            @elusive: I would expect it too effect FPS

            • +3

              @michael9865: It won't.

              GPU requirements are purely on resolution, refresh rate, and maybe bit depth (HDR).

              The same resolution will render the same on the GPU, regardless of the physical size it's eventually piped onto.

              The only maybe exception is if you enable render scaling, so the GPU ends up rendering at a different effective resolution. Maybe you only enable render scaling at lower physical sizes.

              But benchmarks are done at 4k/UHD native anyway, and those will be equally valid regardless of physical size.

              • @elusive: so your saying for example right now I am gaming on a 28" 4k 60hz monitor getting around 30fps of AAA fames on a GTX1070.
                If I were to buy a 32" 4k monitor, I will still get 30fps playing the same games?

                • +2
                  • @HaveANiceDay: Holy crap I wasn't gaming on my oled 70" tv as I thought it would effect my gaming but thanks for letting me know i can.
                    Going to see if I can game on it today

    This is a fairly regular price for this monitor, and not really much of a deal. Expect slightly better deals in the next few days, and also expect this basically entry level 4k 144Hz experience to slide towards $1000 over the next 3 months.

    If you're not in any rush, play the waiting game and use the extra money on other parts or a nice pair of headphones.

    • It's pretty stubborn at 1499 everywhere. It's been discounted only once before by CA, and they removed it from their discount pretty quickly

      • I've seen that, but there are so many of these monitors on the way, with the panel production ramping this will replace the point in market that high-end 1440p 144Hz once held.

        LG-based models will move slower than the rest, but they will still move.

          I'm also waiting for the upcoming 32 inch 4k144 monitors. Acer XB323QK, Viewsonic XG320U and Philips 329M1R are all IPS, 32" 4k144 and also supposed to include HDMI 2.1. The Viewsonic in particular is interesting because its gamut is super wide (95% DCI-P3 and 99% Adobe RGB). The Acer is apparently priced at EUR1099 as hinted by a German retailer.

          I wouldn't expect sizeable price drops any time soon. Monitors are getting more and more expensive. Just look at LG's ultrawide IPS units

          • @twister292: Monitor MSRP usually means absolutely nothing, and you can shave about 25-35% straight off the top. It's priced at a very early stage of panel production, to cover the early low-volume shipments.

          • @shaoaxiao: That was a listing error and they took it off the discount

            • +1

              @twister292: Anyway….
              No hdmi 2.1
              No deal even with discount

              Think this

              All GPU console TV already HDMI2.1

              Spend 1.4k on a “outdated”soon monitor

              I don't this is smart…

              If money is no problem,then forget all above what I just said

              • @shaoaxiao: It does have DSC support, so for people using it with a PC, it has 160Hz support over a DP with full 10-bit colour

  • +1

    The new firmware for this monitor actually enables 160Hz at full RGB at 10-bit if your GPU supports DSC (aka RTX2000, RX5000 or newer)

  • Next generation of 2.1 monitors starts in Jan, new features as well as the extra bandwidth.
