OLED monitors are widely celebrated for their rich contrast, inky blacks, and vibrant colors, making them a premium choice for gamers seeking the most immersive visuals. However, while they excel in image quality, many OLED displays still lag behind in refresh rates compared to fast IPS or TN panels. That’s why this new deal from Newegg on a 27-inch ASRock OLED gaming monitor stands out—it combines stunning OLED visuals with blistering speed, and it’s now available for just $549.99.
This ASRock monitor features a 27-inch 1440p OLED panel that’s ideal for most modern PC setups, offering that perfect middle ground between pixel density and performance. It comes equipped with DisplayPort 1.4, dual HDMI 2.1 ports, and even USB-C video input—although the USB-C only supports 15W charging, which isn’t quite enough to power most gaming laptops without an additional power source.
Where this monitor really pulls ahead of the OLED pack is in speed. While most OLED monitors top out around 165Hz or 240Hz, this one boasts a blazing 360Hz refresh rate. That kind of fluid motion rendering is typically reserved for high-end competitive gaming displays and makes this a rare combination of motion clarity and OLED richness. If you’re playing fast-paced shooters or esports titles, this monitor will keep up without breaking a sweat.
It even has a quirky bonus feature: an integrated Wi-Fi antenna. It doesn’t provide wireless connectivity itself, but acts as a signal booster for your PC’s motherboard Wi-Fi. It’s a niche touch, but could be handy if your desktop’s built-in antenna has weak signal coverage. Still, most hardcore gamers chasing 360Hz probably rely on a wired Ethernet connection for maximum stability.
All in all, this is a rare find: an OLED monitor that delivers on both eye candy and raw performance—at a very reasonable price point.
