Tech Recommendation: The UltraGear 27GS75Q Gaming Monitor

I’ve had a dual monitor setup for the past five years — two trusty 24” ViewSonic screens that did their job well… until one met its untimely end thanks to water damage. In the meantime, I was using a KYY 13" mini monitor to hold things down. But then, my mom came through with a huge gift — the LG UltraGear 27GS75Q — and I haven’t looked back since.

Let me tell you: this screen is a game-changer. At first, I thought my old 24-inch monitors were big enough — but this 27-inch upgrade truly transformed my setup. It feels more immersive, especially when gaming or editing content

🎮 Gaming on the UltraGear

I've been diving back into Pokémon Scarlet, and it looks absolutely stunning on this display. The vibrant colors, crisp detail, and buttery smooth refresh rate have made it so much easier (and more fun) to game and create content. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I can see details I missed before, especially when editing clips for Instagram or watching playback from my Twitch streams.

💖 A Shoutout to Mom

This monitor means more to me than just performance — it’s a reminder of how much my mom believes in my goals. She’s been showing up big time for my business, and this gift was both practical and heartfelt. I’m always going to appreciate that.

📣 Why I Recommend It

If you're a content creator, gamer, or streamer looking for a quality display with pro-level performance that won’t break the bank, this is it. I’m not sponsored (yet 😉), but I only recommend products I’ve tested and loved — and this one gets all the stars from me.

🖥️ Bonus: Want to see the UltraGear in action? I’ve uploaded clips of my setup and Pokémon Scarlet gameplay over on my Instagram (you can find it linked on my blog’s homepage). Check it out if you’re curious to see the display in action!
