27-inch 4K OLED 240Hz monitors seem to be like buses: you wait ages for one and then three turn up at once. Asus, Samsung, and MSI are all announcing the industry’s next-generation QD-OLED gaming monitors that offer the benefits of 4K OLED 240Hz panels at the smaller 27-inch size instead of 32 inches.

Samsung has a 500Hz OLED gaming monitor, and I had the chance to try it out for myself at CES 2025. It's incredible. The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox

Asus, Samsung, and MSI have announced their claims for producing the world's first 27-inch 4K OLED 240Hz monitors, all using Samsung's 4th-generation QD-OLED panels.

Like MSI and Asus previously announced, Samsung has new offerings that can hit as much as 500Hz of refresh. There’s also a new 27-inch 4K panel, if you’re more interested in high-res gameplay.

Alienware is joining Asus, Samsung, and MSI in making a silly “world’s first” claim — all four of them are now set to launch a genuinely exciting new wave of 27-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitors with an excellent 240Hz refresh rate.

Ahead of CES 2025, I got to check out Alienware’s most exciting OLED gaming monitor yet — a 27-inch 4K model. I got to play a few rounds of Halo Infinite on the monitor at an Alienware event, and I was blown away by how sharp it looked.
