What Buyers Say
LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B 27" Black 2025
The LG UltraGear 27-inch OLED gaming monitor receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its stunning OLED picture quality, incredibly high 480Hz refresh rate, and ultra-fast 0.03ms response time. Users describe it as a game-changer for competitive gaming, offering fluid motion and deep blacks. Common drawbacks include the high price, the need for a powerful GPU to reach 480Hz, and the lack of built-in speakers. Overall, it is highly recommended for serious gamers who can afford the premium.

Pixio Wave PX246 Wave 24" Mint Green 2025
The Pixio PX248 Wave Pink 24" 200 Hz Fast‑IPS monitor earns overwhelmingly positive feedback for its vivid colors, buttery-smooth 200 Hz refresh rate, and easy snap‑together assembly. Gamers and students appreciate the crisp 1080p clarity, low weight, and the stylish pastel pink design that stands out. A recurring weakness is the built‑in speakers — many users find them quiet or mediocre — and the stand offers only tilt adjustment. However, at around $150–160, most reviewers consider it exceptional value for money.
Pros
- Vivid colors and sharp 1080p clarity
- Buttery-smooth 200 Hz refresh rate
- Fast 1 ms response time
- Easy snap-together assembly
- Lightweight and sleek pastel pink design
Cons
- Built-in speakers are quiet or mediocre
- Stand only offers tilt adjustment
- Limited ports (only one HDMI and one DisplayPort)
- HDR10 is a checkbox feature, not transformative
- Brightness may struggle in very bright environments
