OLED displays have become more standard across the PC and console gaming marketplaces. Gamers know that OLED provides industry-leading gaming performance, contrast, and color accuracy— albeit at a significant price premium, at least until we spotted this great Black Friday deal from Corsair. The Xeneon 27QHD240 is now just $499which, which is half off its original MSRP.
A 27-inch OLED monitor would be unthinkable at this price point a year ago. Now you can get a 27-inch OLED with a 240 Hz refresh rate and 1000 nits brightness for superb DisplayHDR 1000 support for a steal. Add in the expected gaming features like Adaptive Sync (G-Sync/FreeSync) support and glowing reviews from several reputable outlets, including our own Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 review, and it seems the entry to high-quality OLED desktop gaming has never been cheaper.
In our original review of the Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240, we praised the monitor on every key point. We loved its deep contrast and saturated colors, its near-perfect, calibration-free accuracy, and next-level gaming performance in a package with premium build quality. Our issues were with its original price point (now very mitigated) and some minute HDR color inaccuracies.
Black Friday deals like this are sure to be snatched up quickly, so act fast if you’ve been waiting for a great OLED gaming monitor at a reasonable price point! Considering OLEDs at this grade have been regularly priced at and above $1,000 (pricing comparable to much larger but slower entry-level OLED TVs), $499 is an absolute steal.
