The LG USB-C monitor is just $170 for a short time
It's one of the most unassuming monitors you'll ever see. Depicting itself with a simple screen that says 'LG Monitor' without any of the accolades, 'ultras,' or blue light blocking features (which are present for this monitor) this LG monitor can seem plain. However, the LG 27U631A-B (which we'll be referring to as the LG 27 USB-C Monitor) has a better stat profile than you might think and, with this deal, a very reasonable price. Usually $250, you can now get the monitor for $80 off, rendering it just $170. You can even save 5% or 10% more for buying 2 or 3 monitors, respectively, in LG's 'Buy More, Save More' event. It really makes it one of the best USB-C monitors you can buy today, an easily accessible pickup found by tapping the button below. Read on to see exactly why. Why you should buy the LG 27 USB-C Monitor This 27-inch monitor has a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixel) resolution with a smooth 100Hz refresh rate, HDR10 for a wide color gamut, and a USB-C connection with 15W power delivery. This makes it an excellent hub for your computing gear, and a great monitor to connect your laptop to when you're planning on sticking close to your home. There's a reading mode for low blue light and casual reading before bed, too. Finally, one interesting quirk of this monitor is that it has built-in webOS streaming, making it a sort of TV-lite. The LG 27 USB-C Monitor is now down to a price of just $170 after an $80 discount is applied to its regular price of $250. Compared to other monitors like it out there today (especially in a new era of tariffs) it's an incredible price point, especially when you can save an additional 5% or 10% if you buy 2 or 3 monitors instead of just the one. That makes this a great deal for those looking to expand the home office for everyone in the family. Looking for a something different? Check out these other monitor deals instead.
