The LG 32GS95UE is the first 32-inch 4K 240Hz WOLED gaming monitor to hit the market, and it's set to bring serious competition to the 4K 240Hz QD-OLED monitors we've been examining recently.

Lucky Goldstar pricing is absurd. Will never buy another LG product after having 3 different LG items all fail prematurely.

Did you get the MPG version or MAG one?

To all the people crying about the cost of this LG, I called them and asked for a discount. They gave me a 15% off code simply for asking and saying that I was a returning customer (I did have an LG monitor in the past), then I got 19.5% back in rewards using Capital One rewards extensions and then Wells Fargo (one of my CCs) had a 10% back offer. So before taxes, instead of $1399, I paid $830. Just saying, use the tools that are available to you instead of just complaining. Cheers

If anything, that would make me even madder at LG than before… if they’re willing to give a 15% code, that means their profit margins are outrageous…

So you get mad at all products that have sales? Because that is almost all of them.

No, I get mad at a product that commands a premium price point that offers a discount immediately on release to select customers.
They are basically admitting that they don’t have to price their monitor that high.
Sales USUALLY happen after a product has been available for awhile and the company is trying to clear inventory.
A sale on a brand new product means that the price point is wrong in the first place.
Had you read the article, you’d note that the biggest beef they have with this display is its pricing…
Not select customers. Like I said, all it took was a phone call. They didn't drill me or anything. My whole point of. posting my story was that anyone can do the same and get the discount. Most people don't even bother/know about Rakuten/Capital One/Honey, etc. for coupons as well as their CC deals and they are missing out on a LOT of free cashback on products that they are buying anyway. It's not like these discount herd you toward something you don't already want. I was just spreading the info. The ROG OLED is $1299, I believe and I am sure that coupons,etc can be found for it as well but most people don't even bother to look. Just saying that people should be educated consumers or...pay the price for not being one, that being MSRP

By not making it public - it's automatically "select customers"... there will always be tons of people who will just buy direct without looking for coupons - and companies know this and price accordingly.
And having this cost $100 more than the ASUS - which is already priced pretty dang high - is a no-go for me.
The MSI is kind of sneaky in its own right. They undercut ASUS by a few hundred dollars claiming that it would be going back to its "normal" price later (by the way, it wasn't just in the USA, I got it on sale in Canada). My guess is they'll only raise the price if it starts selling well - if not, it will remain "low".
