A $350 price cut brings Gigabyte’s 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor down to $649.99
Newegg is offering the Gigabyte MO27U2 for $649.99, a $350 saving against its displayed $999.99 reference price. The new monitor is sold and shipped by Newegg.
This is a 27-inch QD-OLED screen with a 3840 × 2160 resolution and a refresh rate of up to 240Hz. That combination gives PC gamers a sharp 4K desktop and room for high frame rates without having to choose a lower-resolution display.
There is a practical catch: a 240Hz monitor cannot make a game run at 240 frames per second on its own. Demanding games at native 4K will need a powerful graphics card and appropriate settings to take full advantage of that refresh rate.

4K detail meets a fast OLED panel
QD-OLED pixels produce their own light, allowing dark parts of an image to remain black alongside brighter details. Gigabyte lists 99% DCI-P3 color coverage and a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time; those are manufacturer specifications, not results from our own testing.
The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and is listed as G-SYNC Compatible. With a compatible graphics card, variable refresh can help reduce tearing when frame rates fluctuate. Gigabyte also advertises an HDR peak 1000 mode, though peak brightness should not be confused with sustained full-screen brightness.
OLED buyers should keep image retention in mind when leaving static windows or game interfaces on screen for long periods. Gigabyte includes OLED care functions intended to reduce the risk, and Newegg lists a three-year warranty. Check the warranty terms for the coverage applicable to your purchase.

Useful connections for a gaming desk
The MO27U2’s specifications include two HDMI 2.1 inputs, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C, plus USB ports and a KVM feature for switching supported peripherals between devices. Newegg lists HDMI and DisplayPort cables in the box.
The stand offers height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustments, and the monitor supports a 100 × 100mm VESA mount if you prefer an arm. Check your computer’s video output and cable capabilities when setting up the display at its highest refresh rate.
The $350 discount is calculated from Newegg’s displayed reference price; it is not an independently verified price history. Price and availability can change, so check the listing before ordering.
