The holiday season is just around the corner – and that also means it’s shopping season. For the gamer in your life, this could be a great opportunity to level up their gaming set-up. If you’re wondering about which piece to choose, or looking for a great deal, then check out our ultimate holiday gifting guide down below.

LG’s UltraGear™ gaming lineup features a lot of different display options, including a few exclusives to your favourite retailers. Two great picks from Amazon.ca include the 27” QHD monitor (27GL83A) and the 34” QHD Curved monitor (34GP83A). At 27” you have plenty of display economy without getting into ultrawide territory, and if you do prefer a wider view, the 34” curved monitor provides an immersive experience as the gaming action surrounds you. You know both monitors support amazing graphics as the UltraGear™ lineup is compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync technology. Both monitors feature fast response times of 1ms GTG and refresh rates of 144Hz and 160Hz (overclocking) respectively. This means each frame appears rapidly and gameplay runs smoothly so you can catch every millisecond of action. LG’s innovative Nano IPS technology with the 21:9 aspect ratio curved monitor also ensures high-fidelity colour and the VESA DisplayHDR 600 delivers dynamic contrast, so the display has amazing colour depth.
