The fastest QD-OLED QHD gaming monitor just dropped to its lowest price yet. MSI’s flagship MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50, the world’s first 500Hz QHD QD-OLED display, is down to $749 during Newegg’s Fantastech sale—$100 off its usual $850 price. If you’ve been eyeing a top-tier 1440p esports-ready panel, this is the moment to pounce.
Why this deal stands out:
– Blazing 500Hz refresh rate at 2560×1440 for ultra-smooth competitive play
– Samsung’s 3rd‑gen QD‑OLED panel for rich color and deep blacks
– 0.03ms GtG response time and 1.5M:1 contrast ratio
– VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 and ClearMR 21000 certifications
– MSI OLED Care 2.0 to help mitigate burn-in over time
Reality check for performance chasers: hitting 500 FPS at QHD in modern games is a tall order, even with a top-end GPU like a GeForce RTX 5090. If you prefer something more practical while keeping most of the premium perks, the MAG 271QP QD‑OLED X24 is also at a record low. It retains much of the same appeal and runs at 240Hz, which fits real-world frame rates better—now just $449.
Not everyone needs QD‑OLED to upgrade their setup. There are excellent budget picks in FHD and QHD with IPS and VA panels seeing deep discounts as well. Here are some standout deals:
– ASRock Phantom PG25FFT: $87 (down from $129) on Newegg
– ASRock Phantom PG27FFT1B: $94 (down from $159) on Newegg
