LG's UltraGear 27GS93QE-B is listed at $499.99 on Amazon as of September 26, 2026, sold and shipped by Amazon.com. That is not an undercut of the manufacturer, it is a match, because LG's own store lists the same 27-inch OLED at $499.99 too.
The listing wears a 44% badge, and that figure leans on a $899.99 list price. No retailer was found charging $899.99 at the time of writing, including LG, which strikes the number out on its own page.
What is on offer is a 26.5-inch OLED panel running 2560 x 1440 at 240Hz, with a 0.03ms GtG response time and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. LG rates contrast at 1,500,000:1 and DCI-P3 coverage at 98.5%.
Why the $499.99 price still holds up
The comparison that matters is not the MSRP, it is the next available new listing. The cheapest other one found for this exact model was $668.99 from a marketplace seller on Newegg, not from Newegg itself.
On that basis the Amazon price saves roughly $169 against the next new offer, and it ties LG directly. A maker matching a retailer is worth knowing about, since LG has recently been the pricier option on its own hardware.
That was the case with the 27GX790B-B, which fell to $679.99 on Amazon while LG asked $320 more. Here the gap is zero, so the choice comes down to returns and delivery.
LG UltraGear 27GS93QE-B specifications
| Specification | LG UltraGear 27GS93QE-B |
|---|---|
| Panel | OLED, 26.5-inch viewable, 16:9 |
| Resolution | 2560 x 1440 (QHD) |
| Refresh rate | 240Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC or HDMI 2.1 |
| Response time | 0.03ms (GtG) |
| Brightness | 275 cd/m2 typical, 1,300 nits peak at a 10% window |
| Contrast | 1,500,000:1 typical |
| Colour | DCI-P3 98.5% typical (CIE1976) |
| HDR | VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 |
| Ports | 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, USB 3.0 hub, 3.5mm out |
| Adaptive sync | NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro |
| Warranty | 2 years, covering the OLED panel against burn-in |
Those figures come from LG's own spec sheet for the 27GS93QE-B. One detail is worth pulling out, because the listing never mentions it.
LG says the full 240Hz is available over HDMI 2.1 as well as DisplayPort, and no overclock is involved. Console owners are not locked out of the top refresh rate.
The used offers hiding on the same page
Underneath the main buy box sits a second condition tab. It holds 15 used offers starting at $392.72, sold by Amazon Resale rather than Amazon.com.
Those are not the deal. The $499.99 figure belongs to the new offer, and the two prices are easy to confuse because they share a page.
How it compares with other 27-inch options
| Monitor | Panel and speed | Price |
|---|---|---|
| LG UltraGear 27GS93QE-B | OLED, QHD, 240Hz | $499.99 |
| AOC Agon Pro AG276QZD2 | QD-OLED, QHD, 240Hz | $489.00 |
| Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) | QD-OLED, QHD, 500Hz | $729.99 |
| ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACMES | Fast IPS, QHD, 255Hz | $229.00 |
The closest rival is the AOC Agon Pro AG276QZD2 at $489.00, a QD-OLED at the same resolution and refresh rate for $11 less. Its buy box is also Amazon.com.
Spending more buys speed rather than sharpness. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) at $729.99 runs the same QHD grid at 500Hz.
Spending far less means leaving OLED behind. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACMES at $229.00 is a 255Hz Fast IPS panel, in the same territory as the Alienware 280Hz QHD monitor that dropped to $199.99.
For context on how far QD-OLED pricing has moved, the Acer Predator X27U W1 recently fell to $314.99.
What the listing leaves out
The Amazon page publishes no brightness figure at all, so the 275 cd/m2 rating and the 10% window peak have to be read off LG's spec sheet. Port counts, the USB hub and the VESA size are absent too.
LG also never states the panel subtype on any page for this code, so nobody can tell from the listing whether this is a white OLED or a QD-OLED. The stand tilts, pivots and adjusts for height, but it does not swivel.
No end date is published for the discount, and neither Amazon nor LG says how long the matching price will hold. Prices move without notice, so the figures above reflect the listings as they stood at the time of writing.
