Dell S2721NX 27-Inch IPS FHD Monitor: now $89 at Best Buy (was $159)
For a limited time, you can pick up the Dell S2721NX gaming monitor for one of its best prices to date. This display is AMD FreeSync certified and features a 27-inch FHD IPS panel with a refresh rate of 75Hz.
The Dell S2721NX monitor is built around a 27-inch IPS display panel. It has an FHD resolution which measures 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The refresh rate isn't the highest on the market, reaching just 75 Hz, but for a monitor under $100, we can't complain too much. FreeSync should help smooth out stutters and tearing as long as your GPU can hold between 48 and 75 Hz, too. The S2721NX has a refresh rate of 4ms.
Adding further appeal to the S2721NX for occasional gaming is its low latency and low framerate compensation support. The brightness is capable of reaching 300 Nits which definitely isn't too bad for a monitor in this price range. An anti-glare matte 3H coating should aid visibility if there is a strong light somewhere in your work/play environment. The 1,000:1 contrast ratio is pretty typical for an IPS panel.
As far as video input goes, you get two HDMI 1.4 ports to take advantage of, no DP sadly. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack, too.
The purchase is supported by both Best Buy's return policy as well as a 1-year manufacturer's warranty from Dell.
Again, this discount is part of a limited offer that is set to expire by the end of the day. If you want to take a closer look at the deal, head over to the official Dell S2721NX 27-inch IPS FHD monitor product page at Best Buy for more information and purchase options.

I pity anyone who has to use 1080 monitors for working with large spreadsheets and or revising complex documents. At 27 inches, 1440 is so much better.Alvar Miles Udell said:Now if only we could have sub-$200 40" 3840x1080 60-75hz displays targeted towards offices so we wouldn't have to use two 24-27". -

It is a failing of Microsoft to not have an inbuilt Virtual Super Resolution like you get with AMD and nVidia dGPUs.
