I feel like I’ve been spotting this Acer Nitro gaming monitor, or similar models, on sale quite often lately, but that doesn’t make this deal any less enticing. Newegg is currently selling the 27-inch IPS monitor featuring a 1440p resolution and an impressive 180Hz refresh rate for only $160—a fantastic $110 off its usual price.
Let me reiterate: if you can choose, always go for an IPS panel instead of a VA panel. The enhanced color accuracy is perfect for tasks like photo editing (as I did for this article), and then you can seamlessly switch to gaming (which, trust me, I didn’t do for this article—honest!). With higher refresh rates now available, it’s a winning combination for a home setup that serves both work and entertainment purposes.
The Acer Nitro VG271U boasts an upgraded display with a stunning 2560×1440 resolution, providing a significant leap over traditional 1080p gaming monitors. And with a lightning-quick 0.5ms response time, it keeps pace with even the fastest action.
It features both DisplayPort and dual HDMI inputs, and I’m quite fond of the stylish blue stand that comes included. If you have your own stand or monitor arms, you can easily use this monitor with its standard VESA mount.
Newegg’s offers can vanish as quickly as they appear, so act fast if you’re ready to buy! However, if you can wait, keep an eye out for even better deals during Prime Day next week.
