With PC upgrade costs climbing, peripherals may be the smarter investment right now. One standout deal is a 27-inch OLED gaming monitor from MSI, currently available for about $400.
The 27-inch display features a 2560×1440 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, a combination widely considered the sweet spot for modern PC gaming. The OLED panel delivers deep blacks and vibrant colors, while the high refresh rate and 0.03ms response time make it fast enough for competitive titles.
The monitor supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, ensuring smooth performance regardless of your graphics card. Connectivity includes HDMI and DisplayPort, along with a USB-C port that supports video input. However, the USB-C connection only provides up to 15 watts of charging power—enough for a phone or tablet, but not sufficient to power most gaming laptops without a separate charger.
The current promotion lists the monitor at $429.99 on Newegg, with a $30 coupon code (SSF3686) bringing the effective price down to roughly $400. The retailer describes it as a limited-time offer, while Amazon lists it slightly higher.
For gamers holding off on expensive GPU or system upgrades, this OLED display could provide a noticeable visual upgrade without breaking the bank.
