I've checked CamelCamelCamel and some Reddit threads, but the 2026 trackers don't account for the current panel shortages—it's making me nervous. I'm stuck on 1080p (ruining my Valorant games) and need 1440p/240Hz on a $700 budget. Which specific UltraGear is actually going to have the deepest Cyber Monday 2026 discount? Also needs G-Sync.

I’ve been through three of these UltraGear iterations—honestly, LG's naming scheme is a total nightmare, but I've seen the cycle enough to know how this plays out. I tried their early 240Hz IPS models years ago and the backlight glow was just garbage, things may have changed with the latest tech, but the strategy remains the same. When those 2026 panel shortages hit, LG usually protects their high-end margins by slashing prices on the previous year's 'hero' models to clear floor space. If you’re sitting on a $700 budget and need that 1440p/240Hz sweet spot for Valorant, here is where the actual deals are going to land:
- The LG UltraGear 27GS95QE 27-inch 1440p 240Hz OLED is my top pick for the deepest cut—it’ll be the 'older' OLED tech by late 2026, and I’d bet my last dollar you’ll see it hit $599 or lower.
- If you prefer the reliability of IPS, look for the LG UltraGear 27GR83B-B 27-inch 1440p 240Hz which will likely be priced like a budget screen even though it’s a beast.
- Wait, no—actually, keep an eye on the LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B 27-inch 1440p 480Hz OLED because even if it’s overkill for 240Hz, the 2026 Cyber Monday pressure might push it closer to your $700 limit than you’d expect. Don't get distracted by the mid-range stuff they'll try to push—those are the ones that actually stay expensive because of the supply chain issues you mentioned. Stick to the high-end panels from a year ago and you'll get the G-Sync performance you need without overpaying for the 'new' sticker.
