This super-fast MSI OLED gaming monitor is just $520 today

We are currently in the long, dark tea time of tech deals, between back to school and Black Friday. So it might still be another month or so before we see many great deals on monitors. Here’s a look: A much faster-than-usual 27-inch MSI OLED gaming monitor for $130 off. Today you can get it for $519.99, directly from MSI itself.

The MAG 271QP looks more or less like every other 27-inch OLED, with a fairly typical bezel and 2560x1440p resolution. But at 280Hz refresh, with AdaptiveSync support, it can handle competitive online gaming much faster than some of the other offerings in this price range. But keep in mind that this is mostly for desktop gaming: you get two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort, so multiple PCs or consoles are welcome, but gaming laptops with USB-C will need more than one cable.

Make sure to apply the promo code 272QPW40 at checkout, to lower the sale price from $560 to $520. (Maybe use the difference to grab a monitor arm?) If you don’t need all that blazing speed, you can save a little money with a 27-inch AOC that’s slightly cheaper on Amazon as of this writing.
