This is not a drill, folks! There’s an OLED gaming monitor you can buy, right now, for money, and it’s pretty darn cheap at $399.99. Amazon is selling this Pixio 27-inch 1440p OLED for $499.99 with a $100 on-page coupon, no Prime membership needed. That brings the final price to (tap tap tap, carry the one…) four hundred bucks.
That’s a solid $200 less than even budget-tier OLEDs outside of the big annual sales events, and it matches the cheapest price I’ve ever seen for a new OLED monitor (back during Black Friday last year). And unlike a lot of the more affordable OLED models, this Pixio OLED has a few premium features, including a speedy 240Hz panel, USB-C video with 65 watts of charging for laptops, and an integrated KVM switch.
To be sure, Pixio is definitely a few steps down the ladder in terms of brand reputation. (And it doesn’t help that they’ve vomited AI art all over their promo images, yuck.) I also wouldn’t take the 4.5-star rating on the Amazon listing at face value, since this is a combination listing with an older LCD design. That said, the few reviews I saw from confirmed OLED buyers were very positive.
According to Pixio’s website, this monitor comes with a three-year warranty against OLED burn-in specifically. That matches the major OLED brands, so take that for what it’s worth. I’ll add that you could throw in an extra 3-year warranty on the Amazon page for $61 and still be well below the price for any other new OLED monitor on the market right now.
If you’ve weighed all the pros and cons and have decided you want this, get your order in quickly. I’ve seen steeply discounted OLED gaming monitors go out of stock faster than you can refresh the page.
This 27-inch OLED gaming monitor for $400 is an absolute steal
