The LG UltraGear G5 25G523B-B, a 25-inch Full HD gaming monitor with a 200Hz refresh rate, is selling for $79 at Walmart in the United States, according to a deal report from Tom’s Hardware on October 19, 2026. LG’s own US store lists the same model at $149.99, so the Walmart price sits well below the maker’s official figure.

The deal at a glance

  • Product: LG UltraGear G5, model 25G523B-B, 25-inch IPS gaming monitor
  • Store: Walmart (walmart.com), United States
  • Deal price: $79, as reported by Tom’s Hardware at the time of writing
  • LG list price: $149.99 on lg.com
  • End date: none stated

Tom’s Hardware describes the cut as 47% off a $149 list price, a saving of $70. Walmart has not published an end date, so the price can change or the listing can sell out at any time. When we checked, LG’s own store showed the monitor as out of stock, which makes the retailer listing the easier route for now.

What you get

LG’s spec sheet for the 25G523B-B covers the basics a competitive player looks for:

  • 25-inch IPS panel at Full HD, 1920 x 1080
  • 200Hz refresh rate and a 1ms gray to gray response time
  • NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium for tear free play
  • HDR10 support and up to 99% sRGB colour coverage
  • Two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort and a headphone output
  • Slim bezels and a stand that tilts

Full HD on a 25-inch screen is a common pairing for fast shooters and other esports games, because it is easy for mid range graphics cards to push high frame rates at that resolution.

Who it suits and who should skip it

This is a good fit for players who want high frame rates in games such as shooters and battle royales on a modest budget, and for anyone who wants a cheap second screen for chat, streams or work windows next to a main monitor. A 200Hz panel also makes sense for console players on a desk, though consoles will not use the full refresh rate.

Skip it if you mainly play slower, good looking single player games or do photo work. At 25 inches, a 1920 x 1080 picture is not as sharp as a higher resolution monitor, and the stand only tilts, with no height adjustment. LG also sells a 27-inch sister model, the 27G523B-B, for people who want a little more screen with the same 200Hz rating.

Before you buy

Check that the listing names the exact model, 25G523B-B, and that it is sold and shipped by Walmart rather than a third party seller. Make sure your PC or console has a free HDMI or DisplayPort output, and remember that you need a graphics card able to run your games at high frame rates to see the benefit of 200Hz. As with any store deal, the $79 price applies to Walmart in the United States only and may not last.
