Get a massive 42-inch 4K OLED monitor for $400 off
Is there such a thing as a monitor that’s too big? Asus doesn’t think so, especially when it comes to fancy OLED screens. That’s why it made the ROG Swift PG42UQ, a 4K gaming monitor that straddles the border between PC screen and TV. (It even comes with side ports and a remote control.) Normally $1,399, Amazon is selling it for just $999 today.
The PG42UQ’s 41.5-inch panel has a 3840×2160 resolution, so you’ll need a pretty beefy gaming PC to take full advantage of it, especially at its maximum 138Hz refresh rate (with G-Sync on top). But if your system is up to the challenge, you can see some jaw-dropping colors and perfect black levels thanks to the OLED panel, which is still hard to find at any kind of discount.
The monitor makes a pretty good addition to a combined PC-and-console space, too, thanks to no less than four HDMI ports (two 2.1, two 2.0) on top of a DisplayPort. It also acts as a basic USB hub with four extra 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one of which is on top of the case for easily plugging in a webcam. While the screen can be VESA mounted, it needs a larger TV-standard mount, so it probably won’t work with most monitor arms.
This is the lowest price we’ve seen for a new, non-refurbished version of the ROG Swift PG42UQ, and there’s no telling how long it’ll stay there. It looks like you can also score a free PC code for Ghostrunner 2 to christen your new TV, or monitor, or whatever you want to call it.
