Do you feel the need? The need for speed? Or, if you’re young enough not to get that reference, do you feel the need for vivid colors and perfect black levels on your gaming PC? Then upgrade to an OLED monitor already! Today, you can get a 27-inch ASRock model with a super-fast 360Hz panel from Newegg for just $575 even.
That 360Hz panel is definitely the standout feature here, as most of the OLED monitors in this price range settle for 240Hz. That makes this 27-inch 2560×1440 panel ideal for fast-paced online shooters. Otherwise, the design is pretty basic. It does come with a USB-C port that supports video, but it’s best for desktop PCs—with just 15 watts of charging, you’ll still have to plug your gaming laptop into something else with more juice.
Monitor deals have been thin for the last few weeks, so I doubt you’ll find a better one for this particular size and speed anytime soon. That said, Father’s Day is around the corner, so you might hold out if you want a discount on a larger ultrawide or 4K OLED.
