Woot is selling MSI's factory-reconditioned Mag 272QP X24 QD-OLED monitor for $290.99 through November 18. The $399.99 figure is the monitor's MSRP, the list price for a new unit, so the discount is $109, or about 27%. The refurbished unit carries a 180-day manufacturer warranty.
The specs are solid for the money. The 27-inch panel runs at 1440p resolution and 240Hz, and it works with both G-Sync and FreeSync. Those are variable refresh rate technologies: they sync the monitor to the graphics card's output, which cuts screen tearing when frame rates dip below the monitor's maximum.
The QD in QD-OLED stands for quantum dots, which the product uses for fuller, more vivid color. OLED panels also produce deep blacks, and dark scenes are where games gain the most.
The port selection is generous. There are two HDMI 2.1 inputs, one DisplayPort 1.4a, and one USB-C input that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, meaning a compatible laptop can send video over a single USB-C cable. That is enough to connect a PC and a console without swapping cables.
The trade-off is the word "refurbished." OLED panels are known for burn-in, where static images can leave a lasting mark, so a 180-day warranty matters more here than it would on an LCD. Six months is a short window for a panel type with that reputation.
Still, a 1440p, 240Hz QD-OLED under $300 is a low entry point for the technology. The question is whether a $109 saving is worth a warranty that expires in half a year.
