OLED monitors are becoming more affordable, but that’s all relative—most people wouldn’t consider a monitor with a four-figure price tag a “bargain.” That’s why OLED monitors priced under $500 tend to sell out fast.
Case in point: Newegg’s Shell Shocker deal, available for today only, offers an Acer Predator 27-inch OLED monitor for $449.99—a solid $150 off its current price and more than 50% off its original MSRP.
We’ve highlighted the Predator X27U before, and for good reason. With a 1440p resolution (2560×1440) and a blazing-fast 240Hz refresh rate, it hits the “sweet spot” for PC gamers, delivering an excellent experience whether you’re diving into cinematic single-player adventures or fast-paced multiplayer matches.
Acer’s 1440p OLED Gaming MonitorPlus, it’s a great companion for gaming laptops, thanks to its USB-C video support with 90W charging, alongside HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity. If you want to upgrade your setup further, consider using the savings to grab a VESA monitor arm for a cleaner desk arrangement.
At this price, you’re getting a high-quality monitor from a reputable brand, backed by a 3-year warranty—offering some extra peace of mind if you’re still hesitant about switching to OLED. But this is a time-sensitive offer.
According to Newegg’s countdown timer, the deal expires at midnight Pacific Time (3 AM Eastern), assuming stock doesn’t run out before then. If you’ve been waiting for the right OLED deal, now’s the time to jump on it.
