Fortunately, MSI’s factory-reconditioned Mag 272QP X24 is on sale at Woot through November 18th with a 180-day manufacturer warranty for $290.99, which is more than $100 cheaper than the full MSRP of $399.99.

MSI’s budget OLED also features quantum dots for fuller, more vivid colors. It doesn’t cut corners on ports either, with two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 1.4a, and one USB Type-C DP Alt input.
