If you’re in the market for a new gaming monitor, you don’t have to choose between speed, panel quality, and a good deal anymore. Fast monitors with IPS panels, combining gaming performance and color accuracy, are easier than ever to find at lower prices.
Take this 27-inch Alienware monitor, for example. Amazon is selling it for just $179.99, a whopping $200 off the original retail price.
Editor’s Note: This monitor was already a good deal at $200 last week, but now it’s even cheaper.
The Alienware AW2724DM is a relatively basic design that nails its core features. You get a 2560×1440 resolution, 165Hz of refresh (180Hz overclocked) for silky-smooth frames while gaming, and support for both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync. And again, that IPS panel is far more accurate than the VA LCDs you usually see on budget gaming monitors.
Connections are fairly basic — just HDMI and double DisplayPort — but you get two USB-A ports on the bottom lip for accessories. And if you’re looking to spruce up your desk or build a multi-monitor setup, it’s compatible with a standard VESA mount for monitor arms. You also get a little lighting bling around the back with an illuminated Alienware logo and “27” badge.
Jump on this hot deal and get it for just $199.99 while you can. Amazon is matching Dell’s online store for this price, so check there if it goes out of stock or the price goes up.
