MSI’s refurbished QD-OLED gaming monitor is on sale for under $300

This deal makes a high-refresh-rate OLED gaming monitor accessible for under $300, a price point previously difficult to achieve for such technology.

MSI is offering its factory-reconditioned 27-inch Mag 272QP X24 QD-OLED gaming monitor for $290.99 through Woot, with the sale ending November 18th. The refurbished monitor comes with a 180-day manufacturer warranty and is priced significantly below its original MSRP of $399.99. This model boasts a 1440p resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate, with support for both G-Sync and FreeSync technologies to minimize screen tearing. The display utilizes OLED technology for deep black levels and quantum dots for enhanced color vibrancy, making it suitable for immersive PC gaming. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4a, and one USB Type-C port with DP Alt mode.

The availability of a QD-OLED gaming monitor at this price point, even refurbished, suggests a growing trend towards making premium display technology more affordable. This could pressure competitors to offer similar deals or accelerate the adoption of OLED in the mainstream gaming market.

This sale specifically affects gamers looking for visual upgrades without a significant investment. The combination of 1440p resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, and OLED's contrast ratio offers a substantial improvement over many standard gaming monitors, potentially driving demand for similarly spec'd, albeit new, displays.
