If you’re looking for a 27-inch 1440p OLED gaming monitor with fast refresh rates and near-instant response time, most models are from major brands like LG, SamsungAnd MSI selling for $600 or more. Generally they cost way less than it used to be, but it’s still pricey! However, enough time has passed since OLED gaming monitors crashed onto the PC gaming scene in a big way last year, and now lesser-known manufacturers are releasing some affordable alternatives that cost hundreds less.
The Innocn brand has its own 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor on Amazon and is selling it for $429.99 (was $549.99), and spec-wise there’s nothing wrong with those early 2023 OLED models. In fact, it uses one of LG’s own WOLED panels with a 240Hz refresh rate and a near-instant response time of 0.03 milliseconds.
It’s not wrong to be a little skeptical about a brand like Innocn. I haven’t personally tried the products, but critics I trust have tried them, like John Linneman of the graphics-obsessed Digital Foundry. He reviewed a few of his models (a 48-inch OLED monitor and are portable 15.6-inch OLED) with favorable results.
In terms of connectivity, this 27-inch monitor features single HDMI 2.0 support, so your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series full refresh rate of 240 Hz offered by the monitor). It also features a USB-C port for video and charging up to 65W. All cables needed to connect your gadgets are included in the box.
Innocn’s monitor has a height-adjustable stand, although it supports VESA monitor arms if you prefer to float it above your desk. One nice thing about the base of the stand is that it has a 15W wireless charging pad integrated into it, so you can put your phone or wireless earbuds down to charge them. According to the Frequently asked questions on his websiteThe monitor has a 1-year warranty.
