What the report says

The Verge reported that LG’s 27-inch UltraGear 27GX704A-B glossy OLED gaming monitor was selling for $379.99 at both Amazon and LG, a discount of roughly $70 and described as a new low price. The July 20, 2026, deal write-up by Sheena Vasani noted that Vox Media may earn a commission from purchases made through Verge links. The monitor was said to have launched at $799.99 and to have been available below $500 since May.

According to The Verge, the display combines a 1440p resolution with a glossy WOLED panel, a pairing the outlet characterized as unusual in the sub-$400 range. The article contrasted the LG model with many lower-priced OLED monitors that use QD-OLED panels, saying the WOLED approach can produce more natural-looking blacks, while the glossy finish can make colors appear more vivid.

The monitor’s gaming-focused specifications include a 240Hz refresh rate, variable refresh rate support with Nvidia G-Sync compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and a listed 0.03ms response time. The Verge also highlighted its connectivity, including two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-A ports, which could suit users connecting PCs, game consoles and accessories.

The report matters mainly for buyers tracking OLED monitor prices, because OLED gaming displays have historically carried higher prices than many LCD alternatives. The listed features also place the model in a category aimed at fast-paced PC and console gaming. As with any retail promotion, availability and pricing may change after publication.
