The early Black Friday deals are already here, and if you’re thinking about upgrading your monitor, this is a smashing sale to sink your teeth into. Thanks to Currys, there’s a serious saving to be had on this 27-inch MSI display, making it one of the cheapest 4K displays you can buy right now from a well-known brand.
If you head over to Currys, you’ll see that this MSI MAG 272URDF E16 gaming monitor costs just £249. That’s a huge 29% drop in price, and one that keeps an extra £100 in your pocket. While we can’t independently confirm it, Currys also believes this is the lowest price it’s ever sold it for, with other retailers like Amazon and Scan selling it for £349 or higher right now.
A 4K display with gaming potential for £249 is a serious option to consider, and the specs prove why. Unlike an office model, this MSI MAG monitor is built for gaming, with a 160Hz refresh rate for fast and fluid gameplay. This display also supports a much higher 320Hz rate at 1080p, which is still a popular resolution for competitive gamers. You can easily switch between the two modes, too, using the monitor’s physical control button.
This display uses a Rapid IPS panel, a good all-rounder that provides the best viewing angles compared to rival LCD tech, with improved response times over older IPS monitors. It also comes with VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black certification, which isn’t true HDR, but will still provide more vibrant colours and better contrast levels than an older SDR display.
A neat addition, and one that’s often skipped on budget displays, is a fully adjustable stand, with options for height, swivel, and tilt adjustments. The MSI MAG 272URDF E16 also comes with two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4a connections, so you can easily hook this up to a PC, handheld, and a games console. A three year manufacturer warranty also offers peace of mind should anything go wrong.
With a sales price of £249, this early Black Friday deal from Currys is an absolute steal if you’re looking for a new 4K display on a budget. You’ll want to jump on it fast before the stock, let alone the deal price, runs out, however.
