AOC's pricing adjustments after the year-end sale period, which will affect those looking to buy gaming or high res monitors over the next several months. Essentially you're going to see the prices of certain models increase when you're looking to buy gaming/high resolution units in the fourth quarter/Q1 of next year.
AOC increases costs on select 27-inch QHD gaming monitors
What they're saying is that the cost of production keeps changing which is why they are now going ahead and increasing the prices on certain models. Specifically, they are bumping up prices on 27 inch QHD gaming monitors and other high resolution options. All of this comes after we get through all of the major year-end discounts/promotions.
For most of the items, they are adjusting prices by 50-150 CNY (around $22.42). Certain units are going up by more like 200 CNY (around $29.89). All of this being applied to stock that is being sold in Q4/Q1 of next year.
In our previous coverage (Aoc) we talked about the AOC Q27G40HE 210Hz 2K Monitor Hits. This is exactly the kind of gaming gear that they are talking about the cost adjustments for now. So be sure to check the current pricing if you're looking to place any orders with a Q2 2025 delivery time frame.
Great. Just what I needed, another $30 hit on the 27 inch QHD monitors I was eyeing for my new build. 🤔
Production costs go up and they just pass it on. I remember when prices actually went down after the holidays.
