Notes

OLED gaming monitors provide fast response but can face burn-in/image retention concerns over time, especially with static HUDs. Common failures include power supply issues, controller/mainboard problems, and panel-related defects (stuck pixels, uneven brightness.

If the monitor is within a few years and the issue is power-related, repair can be reasonable-particularly if it's still under warranty. If you're seeing widespread image retention, panel uniformity issues, or repeated signal dropouts after troubleshooting, replacement becomes more attractive.

Use the threshold carefully because labor-heavy repairs can approach the cost of a discounted replacement. Price reflects a current Best Buy clearance price for a comparable LG UltraGear OLED 27-inch model.
