Today at Amazon, you can pick up the Asus TUF Gaming VG247Q1A gaming monitor for its lowest price to date — at least according to data from price tracker CamelCamelCamel. This well-specified gaming monitor has a recommended price of $159 but it's currently discounted to just $99. So far, an expiration for the deal has not been given, so we're not sure how long it will be available at this rate. This could indicate a new floor for the screen or be part of a temporary offer. Either way, it's an exciting deal that's definitely worth a closer look, especially if you're shopping on a budget.

For a monitor in this price range, you really get quite a few attractions, spec-wise. It's AMD FreeSync Premium certified display, which guarantees things like a high refresh rate, low frame rate compensation (LFC) support, and more.

The Asus TUF Gaming VG247Q1A monitor sports a 24-inch VA panel. This screen has an FHD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, paired with a high refresh rate that can reach as high as 165 Hz and a swift response time of just 1ms. In general, these are pretty impressive specs given the $99 price tag — especially with the AMD FreeSync Premium certification in mind.

You can reach a maximum possible brightness of 350 Nits on the TUF Gaming VG247Q1A monitor which, again, isn't too bad for a $99 product. It has two 2W speakers integrated for convenient integrated audio output alongside a 3.5mm audio jack for connecting external audio peripherals. A DisplayPort 1.2 input is provided for video input as well as two HDMI 1.4 ports.

This monitor can be tilt-adjusted, but sadly the stand doesn't offer any way to set the height. It does, however, come with 100 x 100mm VESA wall mounting support so you can attach it to an arm or stand of your preference.

If you've been holding out for a quality gaming monitor but want to keep things on a budget, head over to the Asus TUF Gaming VG247Q1A monitor product page at Amazon for more details and options to purchase.

    1920\00d71080 at 23.8" is 92.6 PPI. That isn't that great, even with ageing eyes like me.

    At 100 bucks and with 165hz, though? That more than fits the bill for any budget FPS gamer who wants frames over high image quality.

    It's only 165hz when connected to a GPU capable of 165hz output via DisplayPort, else it's a 144hz monitor. Also to quote Monitor Nerds' review of this monitor:

    The biggest issue we saw on the Asus VG247Q1A is its slow pixel response time which revealed black trails in fast-paced scenes. It is particularly more noticeable in dark scenes with quick motion sequences, making the monitor less ideal for E-Sports titles.

    So that 165hz refresh rate doesn't mean much if its pixel response time is so slow it ghosts.

    I would say it does not fit the bill for just ANY budget FPS gamer,

    Black smearing is common to VA panels. I see it on my VA 4K TV, which I game on, and I wouldn't say that it's experience-ruining by any means. The TAA/DLSS/FSR smearing and artifacting common to many modern AAA games is far worse, and you'll see that no matter what display you use.

    However, it may be that the black smearing is for some reason much more noticeable on the monitor in question than it is on my TV. I haven't used the monitor, so I don't know.
