Was looking for a new OLED monitor, and already got an IPS LG Ultragear monitor, thought why not get an OLED one.

Preorder price is $1,599. But if you use an EDU account (VIP account) it comes down to $1,439.10. Than, if you first sign up with the Edu account, they give you a 10% off code aswell brings it down to $1,295.19.

Shopback also giving you 10% off cashback, so effectively bringing down the purchase to $1,165.67. So like 30% off nearly for a preorder product. This ends in 7 hours.

Steps:

  1. Sign up with an EDU email
  2. Go to account settings
  3. Click your name at the top
  4. Click on upgrade your account to VIP (It's instant)
  5. Go back to account settings, you will see your coupons will go from 1, to 2. The 2nd is the 10% off education special discount. So basically 2 x 10% off as the coupon + VIP 10% off automatic.

Edit: It's now out of stock! LG caught on!

    Holding out for the 27" OLED 4K monitors coming out this year

  • getit on 04/02/2025 - 17:30

    seems even 5090 may not reach 480 fps on QHD in AAA games
    my 4090 only reach around 200 fps on 2K COD or Diablo 4 at highest settings

    • Zabuza on 04/02/2025 - 17:32

      true, but ye this one when factoring all the discount is the same price as their older model (27GS95QE-B, currently on sale for 1156$ at MWave). For the same price you can get the newest model :D!

      • StalkingIbis on 04/02/2025 - 17:33

        or could get the older model for what price?

        • Zabuza on 04/02/2025 - 17:34

          I mentioned in the brackets - (27GS95QE-B, currently on sale for 1156$ at MWave)

      A newbie question, can humans see the difference up to 480Hz?

      • JigBew on 04/02/2025 - 19:11

        modern games are so fast paced that at 120, 240 and even 360 hz the character you are aiming at on your monitor can have moved from your aim by the time you shoot. my aim is too shit and reflexes too slow these days but i'd of loved something like this 10 years ago. also ironically 10 years ago was a better time for getting 360fps.

    This Cashback deal is not valid together with:

    Vouchers or Promo codes not featured on our platform

    Cashback might be rejected, but who knows.

    • Zabuza on 04/02/2025 - 18:27

      Ahh, I think the discount was a generic discount GEARUP10 attached to the EDU account, so hopefully it does work, if not 1295 for a newly released OLED is a good deal nonetheless :)

    Call me a non-gamer but wouldn't the 42" lg c4 @ ~$1200 be a better option if you have the desk space?
    I haven't used over 165hz personally, but anything 120+ feels more than sufficient even for sweaty competitive gaming

      It depends on the scenario i guess, I have a dual monitor setup with another 27inch, doesnt make sense.

      There's also features on the gaming monitor that aren't on TVs like Freesync Premium Pro.

      If you play competitive gaming (Valorant, CS 2 etc), 120 FPS is not enough.

      The TV also comes with all the bloatware.

      If you just gaming on console, Id say ye go for the TV, but PC gaming, makes more sense to get a PC monitor.

      This monitor was a decision by the marketing team, when to the average consumer there's not a whole lot of difference between one OLED and another so they need to find some number to make bigger.

      I remember reading something about our ability to actually perceive a difference in frames caps out at about 75hz (although I've seen as low as 20hz), the ability for the brain to not actually notice the transition in frames at all is an open question but it's probably 200-300hz (thus why 120hz feels nice and smooth, it defeats the caveman part of the brain that is on the lookout for spiders or something).

      • Stingy Student on 04/02/2025 - 18:56

        I'm sure there's differences between individuals, but the 20hz claim is ridiculous

        • freefall101 on 04/02/2025 - 19:13

          As in the ability to perceive a difference in the images, not that it can’t tell that it’s a really slow frame rate.

          We can notice a difference between 60hz and 120hz in terms of smoothness, but you can’t pick a difference between individual frames.

    Thank you! I was surfing for a deal just like this for the past week and was about to pull the trigger on something far less cost efficient. This deal is perfect, i made an account just to thank you. I don't really know how cashback works but i'll take the $1,295.19 monitor anyway! Thanks!

    • Zabuza on 04/02/2025 - 18:37

      Same :D I was about to purchase the ASUS XG27ACDNG, thats going for 1299, fairly new, no discounts from what I see.

      But ultimately I prefer LG matte oled panels as I got a bright room.

      I think also ASUS PG27AQDP uses the same panel and thats selling for 1799.

  • Illuxz on 04/02/2025 - 18:58

    This might be the cheapest 1440p 480hz oled display, great find OP. If I didn’t have the 3225QF I’d be getting this.

  • iLikeSales on 04/02/2025 - 19:07

    Wait is this deal good?

    I always say 1440p on 27inch is perfect, anything 30inchs is 4k but OLED is crazy at 480hz as well. Someone help!!

    • Zabuza on 04/02/2025 - 19:17

      It was a good deal! cheapest price for this panel! But its out of stock now! bl D:! LG caught on!
