This 27-inch gaming monitor offers 2K resolution and 144 Hz speed with a curved form factor, 1ms response time and FreeSync 2  at an approachable price for the budget-conscious. 144 Hz is over twice the standard baseline of 60 Hz, while FreeSync fights stuttering. This is the lowest price we've seen for this display. 

In short, the EI272UR comes with competitive speed and is an upgrade for 1080p users for less than $300. That’s a lot of features for this price point, especially given that many comparable monitors force gamers to choose between speed and resolution. While it doesn’t offer 4K resolution, this display is a great compromise for buyers who want a little of everything.
