If I told you that you could buy a new OLED gaming monitor for “pennies,” I wouldn’t technically be lying. But since you’d need over thirty-one thousand of them—weighing 173 pounds—it wouldn’t be very practical information. What is practical is that Woot is selling a refurbished MSI 27-inch OLED monitor for $314.99 with a coupon. That’s the best price I’ve ever seen for a name-brand OLED.
UPDATE: Sadly, it looks like this deal is already sold out, just a few hours after being posted.
The MSI MAG 271QP X24 hits the baseline for an OLED gaming monitor in 2025 with its 27-inch 1440p panel that’s plenty speedy at 240Hz. That’s also a good bit faster than some other “budget” options for OLED upgrades. With DisplayPort 1.4 and dual HDMI 2.1, this monitor is a great pick for desktop PCs or consoles, but a lack of USB options means you’ll need a dock or hub to get the best out of a gaming laptop with just one cable. The only other downer is the 6-month warranty, which is well below the 2-year and 3-year policies you often get on new OLEDs.
Woot is selling this monitor for $350, which is already a steal for an OLED monitor at this size and speed. But if you add the coupon code SAVE10, you get an additional 10 percent off, bringing the final price down to $314.99. It’s showing free shipping to my Pennsylvania home, though I would have to pay sales tax (an additional $18.90, in my case).
This is about 20 percent lower than any OLED from a major brand, even with the current Black Friday monitor sales. And I think it’s a solid bet that it’ll sell out a lot sooner than Woot’s 13-day sale period. Get moving fast and snag this deal right away if you’re interested!
