By I advise waiting for major sales occasions like Black Friday if you’re looking for a new OLED display at a reasonable price. However, this reconditioned offer on Woot might be an excellent substitute if you can’t wait that long. An MSI 34-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitor is currently available for just $569.99, which is more than $300 less than its normal price.
With a faster-than-normal 240Hz refresh rate and a semi-standard 3440×1440 resolution, the MPG 341CQPX largely matches comparable ultrawide gaming OLED panels. It has additional capabilities that are difficult to find in this price range, such as support for USB-C video and 98 watts of power delivery for gaming displays.
Woot is offering a reconditioned model. Although I usually support refurbished sales, the 180-day warranty on a refurbished OLED may make me reconsider. The duration of MSI’s 3-year burn-in warranty on new models is one-sixth of that. An Asurion 2-year plan, which costs $50 on Amazon and offers higher accident insurance, can be worth the investment if you’re anxious. Since the large included stand was one of the few drawbacks in our evaluation of this monitor, you might also utilize the savings to purchase a better VESA monitor arm.
For nine more days, or until the supply runs out, Woot will continue to carry this OLED monitor. I don’t think it will last long, given how common (and reasonably priced) OLED monitors are becoming.
