Black Friday is here, and we’re seeing some amazing deals on monitors. For example, you can score this MSI 27-inch OLED gaming monitor with 1440p resolution and 240Hz of refresh for just $499.99 at Best Buy and Best Buy’s eBay store. That’s $200 off its retail price and one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen for an OLED display, much less one with an ultra-fast refresh rate!
The MSI MAG 271QPX is designed to be a fantastic, gaming-focused OLED screen without a lot of extras. 240Hz at 2560×1440 hits the “sweet spot” for a 27-inch monitor, offering a little extra sharpness for high-end AAA games and plenty of speed for online multiplayer.
Connections are a bit basic with one DisplayPort and double HDMI. The monitor does support USB-C video, but with just 15 watts of charging you won’t be able to charge up a gaming laptop at the same time. A headphone port for your gaming headset and VESA mounting for a monitor arm round out the features. MSI is offering a 3-year warranty on the OLED panel, which is a nice boost for peace of mind.
But at this price for an OLED, beggars can’t be choosers. If you’re hunting for an OLED deal, it doesn’t get much better than this.
