Deal | 34-inch 240 Hz LG OLED gaming monitor sees $500 discount in new Amazon sale

OLED monitors elevate a gaming experience, but ultrawide displays add a new level of immersion. The 34-inch LG Ultragear 34GX900A has a dramatic 800R curve that surrounds viewers. Its 3440 x 1440 WOLED panel also supports a 240 Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals during frantic action.

The OLED gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers for $699. The sizeable $500 discount will have some buyers thinking twice about 32-inch candidates.

Bright enough for most rooms

With a maximum brightness of 1,300 nits, the 34GX900A can overcome some ambient lighting. In ideal environments, its near-infinite contrast is better appreciated. Although the LG monitor featured in this deal doesn’t benefit from a more vivid QD-OLED panel, its color range is impressive nonetheless.

An 800R curvature makes the OLED gaming monitor an excellent choice for racing and flight sims. Its 34-inch screen is large enough to take advantage of an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio. That said, with productivity tasks, it can take time to become accustomed to the look of stretched documents.

At 3440 x 1440 resolution, the display doesn’t tax GPUs as much as a 4K model would. That allows owners to set more games to a 240 Hz refresh rate without impacting frame rates. Response time is also minuscule, aiding competitive gamers looking to upgrade their setups. G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro are included to combat any potential stuttering.

Some productivity caveats

In addition to a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports and a single DisplayPort 2.1 port, the OLED gaming monitor offers a USB Type-C connection with power delivery. While it’s versatile enough to integrate into work setups, users may notice some text fringing. Fonts are slightly less sharp than most higher-resolution alternatives.

If a buyer prefers a non-curved display, enticing Amazon discounts may be available on 32-inch 4K options. Or the new Alienware AW3426DW has specs similar to the 34GX900A on sale but uses Penta Tandem technology. That should result in clearer text, but its less aggressive 1800R curve isn’t as immersive.
