I suspect I know what some of you are thinking and it's probably along the lines of 'How much for a 1440p monitor?' Yes, $390 for a 27-inch 1440p gaming display is indeed a lot of money, and you can buy much cheaper screens than this one. However, the saving grace of the MSI MAG 271QP is the fact that it uses a QD-OLED panel.

I personally use the larger 4K version of this MSI monitor, the 32-inch MPG 321URX, and they pretty much share the same tech and specs (other than size and resolution). Both monitors are so nice to stare at for hours upon hours of gaming, and even after a full day of work, I never get any kind of eye strain.

The biggest problem with most OLED gaming monitors is the price tag, of course, but thanks to Black Friday kicking off a week early (what's the betting it will start two weeks early next year?), you can now bag the MSI MAG 271QP for $390 at Newegg. Just make sure you enter promo code BFE2486 at checkout to get the full discount.

With RAM prices going through the roof right now, a Black Friday PC upgrade bundle might be out of the question, but you can still give your gaming rig a major lift in other ways. A very lovely 27-inch OLED monitor, for example.

Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in the early 1980s. After leaving university, he became a physics and IT teacher and started writing about tech in the late 1990s. That resulted in him working with MadOnion to write the help files for 3DMark and PCMark. After a short stint working at Beyond3D.com, Nick joined Futuremark (MadOnion rebranded) full-time, as editor-in-chief for its PC gaming section, YouGamers. After the site shutdown, he became an engineering and computing lecturer for many years, but missed the writing bug. Cue four years at TechSpot.com covering everything and anything to do with tech and PCs. He freely admits to being far too obsessed with GPUs and open-world grindy RPGs, but who isn't these days?
