This is the cheapest 4K OLED gaming monitor I’ve ever seen

1440p and ultrawide monitors have their place in PC gaming (and their place is on my desk). But if you want to go big and beautiful to show off your four-figure gaming desktop’s raw pixel-pushing power, you want 4K resolution. And today you can get it in OLED monitor form for a great price. Amazon has an MSI 32-inch 4K OLED for just $749.99.
The MSI MAG 321CUP (catchy!) was already something of a budget design, at least in the very specific subcategory of 4K OLED monitors, at $900. With a $150 discount it’s cheaper than any 4K OLED gaming monitor I’ve seen, at least in new condition. It has a pretty standard array of specs for OLEDs at this point, including 165Hz of refresh and .03ms response time. That’s not the fastest in the world even for OLEDs, but at 3840×2160 resolution on its curved panel, it’ll push your PC to the limit on the newest games at the highest settings, no matter what’s under the hood.
With DisplayPort and double HDMI inputs, this monitor is a great pick if you’re the kind of PC gamer who also has an Xbox or PlayStation sitting around. And with a USB-C port that can handle video and 98 watts of power delivery, it’s also a good companion to a gaming laptop. It really can do it all, including give you a little peace of mind thanks to a 3-year burn-in warranty on that dispaly panel.
Amazon is showing this as a recent low price for this particular model, but there’s no time limit on the sale. I get the feeling that this one, or something substantially similar, will pop up during Amazon Prime Day…but I doubt you’ll find a much better price on a name brand.
