Ugh so im trying to grab the LG 27GP850-B because my old monitor literally just died mid-match and I have a tournament this weekend and I am honestly so frustrated with these price jumps. I have been staring at this Amazon listing for like three hours now and it says its on sale for $419.99 but yesterday it was $435 and last week I swear I saw it for $380 so I feel like im getting played.
I checked B&H and they have it for $440 which is way over my hard budget of $425 max after tax if possible. Then I looked at Micro Center and they have it for $399 which would be perfect but the store is like a 2 hour drive from my place and their website says it is out of stock anyway so thats totally useless for me. Im leaning toward the Amazon one just because of the Prime shipping speed since I need it by Friday at the latest or im basically disqualified but I hate the idea of paying $40 more than I have to.
Does this Amazon listing currently feature the best possible price or is there some other site I should be checking that actually has it in stock for less?

Actually, I wouldnt just settle for that Amazon price yet. It fluctuates way too much on this LG model. I usually run the PriceDropCatch extension to check if the tag is a trap. Try these budget moves:
- Check Newegg for buyer promo codes
- Look for the 27GL850-B, its basically the same Nano IPS panel
- Walmart often matches competitor prices online Saving $40 matters on a strict budget, so dont rush yet.

Ugh, unfortunately that Amazon price is not as good as expected. Ive seen it way lower but stock is a total joke right now. Honestly it sucks paying more but you need it by Friday for the tournament.
- Check Best Buy for local open-box deals
- Stick with Prime for the speed Definitely try PriceDropCatch next time to catch those $380 drops. Its saved me so much frustration.
