Usually, buying a gaming monitor means picking a lane: You either get 4K resolution for the visuals or a high refresh rate for the speed. This LG UltraGear is one of the few that offers both.

As of Feb. 2, you can get the LG UltraGear 27-inch gaming monitor (27G850A-B) for $496.99 at Amazon, down from $899.99. That’s a 45% discount or $403 in savings. And, according to our trusty price-tracking app CamelCamelCamel, this is a record-low.

The coolest thing about this monitor is that it features a “Dual Mode” that lets you toggle the display between 4K at 240Hz (which is great for single-player games) and 1080p at 480Hz (for competitive shooters where you need max frames). It also uses Nano IPS Black technology, which gives you deeper contrast than a standard IPS panel. There’s just one thing I’d like to mention: Amazon has flagged this as a “frequently returned item.” If you read the reviews, some say their item is perfect, while others report issues like dead pixels or backlight bleed.

At nearly half off, this is a solid deal for the specs. Since Amazon offers free returns, the smart move is to buy it and stress-test it immediately. If the panel is clean, you got a killer deal. If not, you can send it back for free.

Elite Trainer Boxes tied to high-demand Pokémon TCG expansions don’t tend to hang around at discounted prices for long, and Phantasmal Flames has been no exception. As of Feb. 3, the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Box is down to $91.80 at Amazon. That’s $15 off its usual $106.89 list price. 

Currently undercutting the cheapest listings available at TCGplayer by over $52, a Phantasmal Flames ETB at this price — compared to current market demand — is offering solid value for Pokémon trading card collectors and players alike. 

Like other Elite Trainer Boxes, this contains nine Phantasmal Flames booster packs, along with a full-art foil Charcadet promo card. You’ll also get 65 themed card sleeves, 40 Energy cards, a player’s guide to the expansion, six damage-counter dice, a competition-legal coin-flip die, and a sturdy collector’s box with dividers to keep everything organized.

Considering that individual Phantasmal Flames booster packs on Amazon currently cost $9.87, you’re essentially getting the Charcadet promo card and all the other bonuses from the ETB for only an extra $2.97 — a great deal if you’re both aiming to get caught up on the expansion and be equipped for real-life play at the same time. 

While shopping for Pokemon TCG deals, you can still get the Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection Box for almost $22 off at Amazon. For multiple packs, eight-pack lots of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together boosters are on sale at Amazon.

A Winter Playlist for Walks/Fires/Reading on the Sofa

Last night, my friend Claire and I went to play trivia at a local bar. Are you good at trivia? I never know things like who was president when, but I was able to identify what fairy tale had a villain known simply as the Evil Queen and name all five Great Lakes. “I self-identify as smart,” my friend Rob told me yesterday. “But I’m truly terrible at trivia.” Made me laugh. Are you the same?

Anyway, the third round was all about music. The host played 30 seconds of each song, and you had to name the artist or band. One was Ella Fitzgerald, another was UB40; and the exercise got me in the mood to make a playlist. So, my loves, here’s a winter playlist for you, if you’d like something to listen to while taking a shower, making dinner, or reading in bed.

Three more Cup of Jo playlists, if you’re in the mood:
* Fall walks
* Great covers
* Make-out songs

What do you think? I’d love to hear what you’re listening to these days. xoxo

8 Lovely Looks

8 Pretty Looks for Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and I’m excited to host a Galentine’s gathering with female friends. Do you have any plans? For dinners out or cozy nights in, I thought I’d share a few comfy, pretty looks, in partnership with J.Crew…

Sweet pajamas for cuddling under the covers to watch a funny movie — maybe Palm Springs?

Their iconic rollneck sweater comes in eight colors, and I LOVE these cool ruched kitten heels.

J.Crew’s denim is so good — one of the first-ever purchases I made with my high school babysitting money was a pair of their straight-leg jeans — and a wide-rib sweater dress would be stunning with a deep red lip.

Finally, satin ballet flats pair well with everything, and wouldn’t a cherry necklace made a charming gift?

What would you wear? I also love this brushed cardigan.

(This post is sponsored by J.Crew, a brand our family has worn for decades. Thank you for supporting the brands that help keep Cup of Jo running.)
