Acer Nitro XF243Y: was $219.99, now $149.99 at Best Buy
Yes, this is a gaming monitor, so it has a 1080p resolution and 165Hz refresh rate for ultimate frame rate fluidity. But this also sports some features you don’t expect to see in a display this cheap, such as HDR 10 and AMD FreeSync.
Great for gamers, this 23.8-inch panel packs a FHD resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate and an up to 0.5ms response time.
The brightness is a modest 250 nits, but this evens out a bit with HDR 10 support and adaptive sync technology for a picture with real depth that doesn’t tear no matter what high frame rates you throw at it.
Plus, the monitor comes placed on a flexible ergonomic stand to get the right height, or if you’ve already got a desk setup, this has VESA-compatible wall mounting.
It may not be the best gaming monitor out there, but at just 150 bucks, it provides great value for money.
