I told myself I wouldn’t spend any money this Prime Day, but this LG UltraGear ultrawide monitor changed that – it’s almost $1,000 off

It’s a bit of a surprise, to be honest, but Amazon Prime Day is still only hours away, and we may have already struck gold with a delightful deal that will reshape your visual PC gaming experience. The LG 45GX900A 45-inch Ultragear OLED ultrawide is now available for $999.99 (previously $1,699.99), almost 50% off its original price.

With a 45-inch display size, an OLED panel complementing the 3440×1440 resolution, and an 800R curve, this is the monitor you’ll want to aim for to acquire a new level of immersion while gaming. It’s currently at its lowest price ever on Amazon, and at $999, it’s hard to beat – and I wonder if any monitor deals this Amazon Prime Day will top this one.

You have two options here: the LG 45GX900A-B, which takes advantage of a 3440×1440 resolution, offering incredible immersion thanks to its 800R curvature, or the LG 45GX950A-B UltraGear OLED, a monitor that is arguably the best you could buy due to its crystal-clear image quality via a 5120×2160 resolution.

Many have been asking for a 4K ultrawide, and LG has answered. The knockdown to its current $1,597 price is genuinely reasonable, as it doesn’t get much better than that when it comes to visual enjoyment in games.

However, don’t let that write off the LG 45GX900A-B, as both are more than capable of changing the way you see your games – and having purchased a similar model (without built-in speakers), the LG 45GS95QE-B UltraGear OLED, I can tell you not to worry about seeing pixels due to its 45-inch screen size and 3440×1440 resolution.
