It’s hard to find a good deal for a gaming monitor, even if you’re not looking for the latest and greatest in OLED panels. But if you’re looking for a monitor with speed, a 1440p resolution, and a high-quality LCD, then you’ll want to take a look at this Newegg deal: a 27-inch ASRock display with IPS panel and 180Hz of refresh for just $157.77. That’s over $50 off the retail price.
ASRock makes reliable gaming displays, even if the brand tends to shoot for the budget market. This particular model (PG27QFT1B) is light on extras, with nothing but two HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, and a 3.5mm headphone jack—no USB in sight. But it has a few things I always look for in a display, starting with that IPS LCD panel. That’s much better for color accuracy than faster-but-cheaper VA panels, meaning I can do Photoshop work on the same monitor that I use for gaming. At 180Hz, it’s not the fastest gaming monitor around, but it’s downright speedy for IPS.
With a standard VESA mount, this makes a great screen for a multi-monitor setup (grab a reliable monitor arm for that) or all on its own for a thrifty desktop gaming setup. Newegg has marked this as a “Shell Shocker” deal, so it might not stick around for very long.
