But amidst all the chaos, one product category has remained notably unaffected: monitors . We're seeing some great deals on premium OLED models across the market, and we've spotted one that's 45% off list price — LG's 27GS93QE-B on sale for just $499 right now on Amazon. Check out this deal on Amazon Ignoring the almost meaningless naming scheme, the 27GS93QE-B is a 27-inch gaming monitor featuring a 3rd-gen, 10-bit WOLED panel from LG with a 240 Hz refresh rate. Being an OLED, it features self-emissive pixels that can display true blacks alongside vivid, punchy colors. This model has 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and comes factory-calibrated out of the box. 240hz oled Save 45% ($401) LG 27GS93QE-B: was $900 now $499 at Amazon All-time low price Featuring an MLA+ OLED panel with 1,300 nits peak brightness, and a 240 Hz refresh rate, this 27-inch 1440p monitor is perfect for both gaming and media consumption.

The 27GS93QE-B comes with a 2-year warranty, so it's not quite as encompassing as the 3-year burn-in warranty that new QD-OLED monitors have, but it's likely still adequate. On the Amazon page, you'll also see a 27GS95QE-B, which is about $100 more expensive just because it features RGB accent lighting on the back. The two models are otherwise identical, so make sur
