This quick 27-inch 1440p gaming monitor is shockingly low-cost at present

It ain’t straightforward to discover a deal on a gaming monitor, notably if you need one which has a high quality IPS panel. However at present, Acer (by way of its official branded eBay retailer) is providing simply such a deal: a refurbished 27-inch 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor, with that essential IPS tech, for simply $178.99. That’s over $100 off the retail value.

That refurbished standing is presumably what’s driving this hefty low cost, and also you’d be proper to be cautious. However contemplating that that is coming instantly from the producer with a two-year guarantee included (Allstate, so not superb however higher than the same old 90-day fare), I’d say this nonetheless qualifies as a cut price—and a reasonably good one at that.

Discovering a quick IPS panel on this class is fairly tough on a finances. However with it, you’re getting higher colour accuracy and viewing angles than with a less expensive VA design, which is what you often see on gaming displays. I insist on an IPS panel for myself, since I’m typically doing photograph enhancing on the identical screens as I recreation on.

Past the panel, spectacular 240Hz velocity, and 2560×1440 decision, this monitor doesn’t get many extras. There’s no RGB lighting, although it does have some built-in audio system that I’m going to beg you to not really use. Not less than it has a regular VESA mount, so you possibly can add on a monitor arm. That additionally makes this nice for a multi-monitor setup—an excellent companion to, say, a main OLED gaming monitor.

The inventory for this deal might be restricted by what number of refurb displays Acer has mendacity round. If it goes out of inventory, make sure to take a look at PCWorld’s roundup of one of the best displays in the marketplace.
