LG recently launched its latest OLED gaming monitor, the LG UltraGear GX7. The monitor is now available for pre order on the brand’s official store for a high price of $999.99. However, if you want to bag yourself one for free, then LG is currently running a giveaway over on Reddit which will only take a minute of your time to enter.

It looks like it’s going to be one of the best OLED monitors hitting the market this year, just before we gear up for even more announcements in early 2025 as CES rolls around. The GX7 features a fast 480Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time for an ultra-smooth gaming experience.
