LG's awesome 27-inch OLED gaming monitor is $150 off for Prime Day
LG Ultragear | 27-inch | 240Hz | 2560 x 1440 | W-OLED | $999.99$849.99 at Amazon (save $150)LG's latest OLED gaming monitor is already seeing a relatively tasty discount. Though it is still a lot of money to drop on a 1440p panel when you can but a 170Hz 1440p LCD screen for just $180. But this is OLED tech, from the OLED kings at LG.
