If you’ve been resisting the urge to pick up an ultrawide OLED monitor for your gaming PC, it’s getting a lot harder as of late.
The best deals we’ve seen for a 34-inch OLED ultrawide have been hovering around $800 for months, but today the LG store is smashing through that floor with a new gaming monitor for just $680. That’s an amazing 48% off its original $1,300 price tag.
The LG UltraGear 34GS95QE-B is a gaming-focused 34-inch OLED monitor with a fairly dramatic 800R curve. It’s also surprisingly fast—with its 240Hz refresh rate, even powerful gaming desktops might be pushed to their limits to make full use of the 3440×1440 resolution.
Combined with its near-instantaneous 0.03ms response time, this thing is fairly competitive even if you’re looking to play esports-grade online multiplayer. Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync are both supported.
Elsewhere, the monitor is a bit more basic. Its video input comes from a pair of HDMI ports and one DisplayPort port, and the only extras are a pair of USB-A ports for accessories (no USB-C) and a headphone jack.
But at this price, beggars can’t be choosers… if you can imagine beggars being in the market for a $680 monitor, anyway.
Speaking of price: you’ll need to use a coupon code at checkout in order to score this crazy deal. The monitor is already on sale for $800, but the frugal forum posters over at SlickDeals found that you can add the “HECA90210” code to get an extra $120 off. That brings the final price down to $680. (You’ll still need to pay sales tax, but shipping is free! At least to my Pennsylvania home.)
The same discount code can be applied to other LG OLED monitors, like this 45-inch ultrawide (normally $1,700, now $850 after sale and coupon) or this 39-inch one (normally $1,500, now $765).
These coupon code deals can sometimes disappear without warning, so if you’re ready to buy, click the button below double-quick.
