Best Buy Has the Lowest Price I’ve Seen on a QD-OLED Gaming Monitor

For the first time in several months, there’s an OLED gaming monitor priced under $400. Best Buy is currently offering the 27″ AOC QD-OLED gaming monitor for just $399.99 with free delivery. Despite the fact this is the least expensive OLED monitor currently available stateside, it seems to have all the features you’d expect in a premium gaming monitor. The last time I posted an OLED monitor this cheap was back in January and this monitor has better specs.

27″ AOC QHD 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor for $399.99

The AOC Q27G41ZDF is a 27″ display with a QHD (2560×1440) resolution, which measures out to a respectable pixel density of 108ppi. This is the ideal resolution for this screen size because (1) it’s sharp enough and (2) you don’t need a super powerful and expensive high end video card to drive it.

The AOC is equipped with Samsung’s quantum dot OLED panel with AOC’s AGLR anti-glare glass coating. QD OLED panels are considered better than traditional W-OLED panels because they are brighter and offer a wider color gamut. Like all OLED displays, the AOC monitor boasts a near instantaneous 0.03ms response time, near infinite contrast ratio, and true black levels. In terms of pure image quality, it simply can’t be beat by any other panel technology.

This monitor also features a fast 240Hz refresh rate. If you pair it with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card or higher, you should be able to hit the 240fps ceiling on older games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Valorant. For newer games like Battlefield 6 or Black Ops 7, you might need to step up to an RTX 5070 Ti or Radeon 9070 XT.

Connectivity wise, the AW2725QF has one DisplayPort and two HDMI ports. As with most OLED monitors, there are no built-in speakers. AOC includes a 3 year warranty that includes 3-year dead pixel coverage, 3-year advance placement coverage, and 1-year one-time accidental damage replacement.
