You don't need to break the bank to afford a top-quality gaming monitor from a known brand. Thanks to Amazon, the price of a 27-inch Acer Nitro X272U F3bmiiprx has been slashed to a new record low, with beefy specs that make it a serious option for gamers looking to upgrade to a 1440p display. For just $199.99, thanks to this limited-time Amazon deal, you can pick up an Acer monitor capable of supporting 2K gaming, thanks to that 2,560 x 1,440 max screen resolution. The MVP for this display, at least from a gaming perspective, is that ultra-fast 300Hz refresh rate, however.
You simply won't find a monitor with this high a refresh rate and these specs for under $200, at least from a known brand. A fast refresh rate means you can enjoy fast-paced gaming without motion blur or stuttering, as long as you've got a GPU capable of high frame rates. Likewise, AMD FreeSync Premium support means you can banish any screen tears during those big action moments, giving you the clearest visuals possible.
This 27-inch Acer Nitro gaming monitor features an IPS panel. It has a 1440p resolution and a high refresh rate of 300 Hz. You get both HDMI and DisplayPort inputs alongside a 3.5mm jack for audio devices.
This Acer Nitro monitor comes equipped with a 27-inch IPS panel with DisplayHDR 400 support. IPS panels are the best all-rounders for gamers looking to purchase an LCD display, offering the best viewing angles. Meanwhile, DisplayHDR support gives you higher-contrast scenes and vibrant colors, rendering them with greater depth and realism compared to non-HDR displays, which is great for playing those big action games or for watching a cinematic movie.
You're getting two HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4 connections here, useful for hooking it up to your PC, games console, and laptop at the same time. It also has a couple of 2W speakers for built-in audio output, which is a nice extra on a budget-focused monitor, although the included 3.5mm audio jack will let you connect a headset or external speakers with ease.
The $199.99 sale price for this Acer Nitro XV27U F3bmiiprx gaming monitor makes it one of the best spec'd gaming monitors you can buy for less than $200. This limited-time deal won't be around for long, however, so you'll need to snatch one quick.
