If you’re looking to upgrade your gaming monitor, but don’t have big bucks to spend, then you’ll want to check out this Dell gaming monitor deal on Amazon right now. Not only does it give you a 27-inch screen with a high refresh rate, but it also has a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution. Best of all, it’s currently priced at just $129.99, saving you a massive $70 off the usual MSRP.
That’s the sort of price tag you usually expect to see attached to a discounted 24-inch 1080p screen, so you’re really getting the best gaming monitor spec possible for the price in this deal. The Dell G2725D even has a 180Hz refreshing rate if you hook up your graphics card to its DisplayPort input, giving you a step up from the usual 144Hz ceiling of budget monitors.
This monitor is based on an IPS panel, and in our own tests, we’ve found this tech to be much more responsive than the VA panels that are sometimes used in gaming monitors, particularly when it comes to fast-paced action in first-person shooters. VA panels have deeper blacks and higher contrast, but IPS panels are generally better for gaming in our experience. For more information, you can read our IPS vs VA feature, where we delve into the tech.
Meanwhile, the G2725D’s support for AMD Freesync ensures that the refresh rate will synchronize with the frame rate output of AMD GPUs, eliminating distracting tearing artifacts. What’s more, it’s also compatible with Nvidia G-Sync, meaning you can banish tearing and stutter problems on Nvidia GPUs as well.
Best of all, though, is the fact that you’re getting a 27-inch 1440p screen for an absolute bargain price of just $129.99, meaning your games will look sharp on the big screen, with the 180Hz refresh rate making the action look smooth.
You can’t have everything for this price, of course, and notable omissions are height adjustment on the stand, and there are no speakers either. However, you really can’t complain when this monitor is currently going for just $129.99, saving you 35% off the MSRP.
To take advantage of this deal, just click on this link here to go to Amazon’s website. You’ll need to be quick, though, as it’s a limited-time deal. If that deal expires, you can also pick up this monitor from Dell’s website here, where it’s currently reduced to $149.99, which is less of a saving but still a good deal.
