That’s this screen’s lowest ever price, taking 36% off Samsung’s current MSRP, and it’s a remarkably good deal for the specs on offer, which include a 180Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility.

“Samsung QD-OLED displays with QHD resolution deliver unmatched picture quality through quantum dot technology, producing the highest possible level of colour accuracy and brightness.” – Samsung
Unlike usual IPS or VA displays, OLED screens have near-instant response times, meaning they’re great for fast-action gaming with minimal ghosting. This screen’s 180Hz refresh rate will also ensure it can keep up with fast frame rates from your GPU, while its compatibility with Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync will dynamically alter the refresh rate in line with your frame rate output, so you don’t get any tearing.
You’ll get all the other benefits of an OLED screen too, including inky blacks rather than washed-out looking greys, a sky high contrast ratio, and in this case top 10-bit colour accuracy. There’s full HDR10 compatibility as well, making this screen great for watching movies as well as playing games.
Meanwhile, its 2560×1440 resolution is ideal for this 27in screen, ensuring a sharp picture, while not requiring the enormous GPU power you need to play games at 4K. Both HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 2.1 inputs are provided as well, meaning you can hook up a console or other device, as well as your PC, but bear in mind you’ll be limited to 144Hz on the HDMI port.
Best of all, though, is that price. At just $349.99, this OLED monitor is an absolute bargain, giving you an awesome panel with a great spec for both work and gaming. If you’re still using a 1080p VA or IPS screen, and you’ve been thinking about upgrading, then now is your moment. You’ll need to be quick, though, as this is a limited-time deal. Grab it now while it’s still available.
