OLED gaming monitors have come a long way from their initial exorbitant prices, but they still tend to be pricier than their LCD counterparts. However, today presents an exceptional opportunity: Amazon subsidiary Woot is offering a remarkable deal on a 34-inch MSI OLED gaming monitor, now priced at $499.99—less than half the usual price for a comparable model.
Before you jump in, it’s worth noting that this is a refurbished unit. But don’t let that deter you; it comes with a 180-day warranty, which is a solid safety net compared to many other refurbished options. Of course, if you have concerns about OLED burn-in, you might consider purchasing the extended Asurion warranty available at checkout for extra peace of mind.
If you’re still on board, the MSI MAG 341CQP boasts an impressive 34-inch ultrawide curved panel with a 3440×1440 resolution, 175Hz refresh rate, and a response time of just 0.03ms. While it’s not the absolute fastest on the market, it should more than suffice for demanding gaming sessions and competitive online play. Plus, it supports AMD FreeSync and includes handy gaming features like an integrated crosshair.
Connectivity options are generous, featuring DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and USB-C (though note that the USB-C only offers 15 watts of charging, which may not be sufficient for gaming laptops). Additional features include two USB-A ports, a headphone jack, and compatibility with most monitor arms thanks to the 100×100 VESA mount.
This deal is valid for just three more days, but given the steep discount, it’s likely to sell out much sooner. If you’re in the market for a high-quality OLED monitor, now is the time to act!
