This 4K 48-inch OLED gaming monitor is red-hot steal of a deal at $800

Gigabyte Aorus FO48U | 48-inch | 120Hz | 4K | OLED | $849.99 $799.99 at Newegg (save $50)(opens in new tab) If you are primarily a PC gamer looking to go big, This Gigabyte 48-inch OLED 4K display supports 120Hz to get the most out of your GPU. For under $1,000, this could easily replace your TV so long as you don't mind losing out on some TV-specific features.

Why, exactly, is the Gigabyte Aorus FO48U so cheap? It's currently $800(opens in new tab) on Newegg which isn't exactly loose change. But next to comparable OLED gaming monitors, it's an absolute steal.

Take the BenQ Mobiuz EX480UZ(opens in new tab). It's pretty much a dead ringer for this Gigabyte beast. 48-inch LG OLED panel? Yup. 4K resolution? Uh-huh. 120Hz refresh? Affirmative. 0.1ms response? You betcha.

It even has an identical 135,000:1 contrast ratio rating and 98% DCI-P3 coverage. And yet the BenQ will hurt you to the tune of $1,500. And even that's after a price drop from $1,800.

Now, you might think the Gigabyte cuts some corners to hit that price tag. But nope. It has DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1, just like the BenQ. Where things almost get silly is that the Gigabyte even matches the BenQ with its USB-C port with power delivery.

That excellent connectivity also makes this monitor a great deal compared to various OLED TVs. LG's own 48-inch C2 TV goes for around $1,050. We have no idea how Gigabyte can buy in panels from LG and undercut in.

Sure, you lose the TV functionality with the Gigabyte if you care about that. But you can add that right back in for relative pennies with a 4K HDMI dongle.

Try adding USB-C with power delivery to an OLED TV. Correct, it's not gonna happen.
