As the gaming industry continues to evolve, 1440p resolution (2560×1440) is swiftly establishing itself as the go-to choice for PC gaming, eclipsing 1080p for all but the most hardcore esports enthusiasts. If you’re ready to take your gaming setup to the next level, MicroCenter has a rare treat in store for you — and for the first time, they’re offering shipping options instead of mandating in-store purchases. Currently, you can snag a 27-inch Acer Predator gaming monitor for an enticing price of just $199.99.
Celebrated among gamers for its winning combination of robust specifications and reasonable pricing, the Predator series enjoys a stellar reputation. The XB273U, equipped with a 27-inch IPS panel, distinguishes itself with its superior color accuracy compared to standard VA panels. Boasting a commendable 165Hz refresh rate and a lightning-fast 1ms response time, this monitor caters to the demands of even the most discerning gamers.
Supporting both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync for tear-free visuals, the panel also carries HDR certification, enriching the overall visual experience. While it may lack an array of additional features, with only standard DisplayPort and HDMI inputs alongside a pair of USB-A ports on the left-hand bezel, the inclusion of a deluxe stand in the package adds versatility to setup options.
MicroCenter asserts a regular price of $499.99 for this display, although Amazon currently lists the same model at $249.99. Nevertheless, securing a 1440p screen capable of handling lightning-fast framerates for just $200 is an opportunity not to be missed. Act swiftly to place your order, as MicroCenter deals tend to fly off the shelves.
