Hot dang, we’ve got a live one! While I’ve seen OLED monitor deals at $400 (and even a bit below) for a while now, I’ve never seen a full 4K model hit that mark. Today, an eBay seller is offering a Dell OLED with 4K resolution and a big 31.6-inch panel for $399.99. That’s less than half the retail price and the cheapest I’ve ever seen for this form factor.
This Dell 32 Plus 4K (model S3225QC) is a little unusual for an OLED deal because it’s not a gaming monitor, which would fall under Dell’s Alienware sub-brand. Nope, the clean lines and integrated speaker bar scream multimedia machine. Five 5-watt drivers might even be decent, since it’s a little more powerful than the usual pack-ins. Don’t worry, though: with 3840×2160 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 0.03ms response time, plus support for AMD FreeSync, it’s still more than capable of delivering solid gaming performance.
In addition to that swanky speaker bar (which Dell calls “AI-enhanced 3D spatial audio”), the monitor has USB-C video with up to 90 watts of power delivery, so it’s a great companion to laptops. You get two other USB-C ports (with 5 Gbps data) for extras, plus the usual HDMI and DisplayPort options. For more details, you can read PCWorld’s full review of this Dell monitor where it scored 4 out of 5 stars.
This is an “eBay refurbished” sale, which generally means extremely light use, and it comes with a one-year Allstate warranty. That’s a lot better than you usually get for refurbs, but Allstate doesn’t have the best reputation for after-purchase service on electronics. It’s worth noting that you can pick up a new version of this monitor for $600, which is $250 off the retail price, if you’re wary of eBay.
