The KTC G27P6 is a 1440p 240Hz monitor that's using the same LG panel as more expensive options, but it's under $450 for Black Friday.

Trust me when I say looking for Black Friday gaming monitor deals can be a pain in the panel. Half the battle is making sure you're not paying over the odds for a screen that's no longer considered top-tier, and you'll also have to sift through various models that almost sound identical to each other in terms of specs. That's why I spend the year testing as many screens as I can, and one of my favorite brand-busting OLED displays to recommend just dropped to the price I was looking for.

Here's the skinny - if you want a 1440p 240Hz OLED monitor, but aren't too impressed with the price tags attached to branded options, you'll want to check out the KTC G27P6. Yes, I know you've perhaps never heard of the screen maker, but its QHD 27-inch display is down to $449.99 from $579.99 for Black Friday, and it's using the same LG panel within as more expensive options.

The secret here is that KTC isn't just another cheap, made-up Amazon brand; they're actually the minds behind screens with household labels on them. While they aren't necessarily making screens for every tech name out there, the company absolutely knows how to make a best gaming monitor contender. Plus, it partly explains why its 1440p 240Hz setup is so similar to the likes of Dough's Spectrum Black 27 and the older Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240

The closest branded screen I can find to the G27P6 right now is LG's own 27GS93Q that is down from $899.99 to $499.99 at Amazon. I won't blame you if you're tempted to spend $50 more on the logo, as you will potentially be getting a nicer OSD and firmware that'll matter if you care about minor HDR differences. But, KTC is actually giving you a few more features for your money, meaning it's the better value option.

For starters, you're getting a built-in Steam Deck dock with this screen. No, really, you can hook up most of the best gaming handheld options using a single USB-C cable for charging and video output. That's an extra many monitor makers reserve for top models, and even then, plenty of my favorite premium panels pass on this setup-changing perk.

You're also getting speakers included with KTC's model, and while they're a fairly basic 5W setup, they're perfectly servicable for setups without a separate solution to hand. That makes it a pretty great space saver for bedrooms or even one of those fancy little house vans I'm constantly getting jealous of.

Naturally, since we're talking about an OLED panel, you're also getting superb vibrance and colors. Sure, QHD monitors are getting faster now that 480Hz options like the Sony Inzone M10S are emerging, but you'll be paying vastly more for speeds you might not even make good use of. Not everything is looking to play Overwatch 2 at over 500fps, and most rigs probably can't since you need a beefy GPU. But, having fully tested the screen playing shooters like that at their fastest, I can confirm response times and speed hold up even compared to the priciest competitive models.

I've even hooked this screen up to various retro consoles, and let me tell you, it's fantastic for playing upscaled systems. For a while, it was my dedicated screen for PS1 and PS2 games specifically, and I've found that the latter really shines on this screen if you use something like an OSSC and de-bob techniques to combat unsavory interlacing. Let it also be known that if this OLED screen were going to fall foul to the horrors of burn-in, it'd happen with this setup, but it's absolutely unscathed. Whereas when I tried to use an IPS display, I was instantly greeted with temporary image retention that stressed me out for a hot minute.

I'll continue to recommend the G27P6 until it's eventually discontinued, and I'd say it's worth grabbing sooner than later. It's still representative of solid specs in the QHD OLED space, especially for under $450, and ever shifting global economic situations and US tariffs could prevent successors being as good value for money in the future.
