Amazon is offering the ASUS ROG Strix 27-inch 1440p 270Hz HDR Gaming Monitor for $601.99 shipped. Down from $700, today’s deal marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked at Amazon and the first major discount since its release. Designed for high-end gaming, this monitor has an insane 270Hz refresh rate and features a 1440p HDR resolution. It also uses Fast IPS technology to deliver a “0.5ms response time (GTG)” so that way your game’s visuals stay sharp even at high frame rates. ASUS’ ROG Strix monitor is also G-SYNC compatible for a tear-free experience, and supports 1440p 120Hz on Xbox Series X|S, though PlayStation 5 is limited to 1440p 60Hz over one of the two HDMI 2.0 ports. PCs can use DisplayPort 1.4 to leverage the full 1440p 270Hz experience. Keep reading for more.
Update 11/16:
- 2:52 PM: B&H Photo is offering the GIGABYTE 27-inch 1440p 170Hz Gaming Monitor for $259.99 shipped. Normally $320, and on sale for $280 at Amazon, today’s deal marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked.
- 2:52 PM: Amazon is offering the GIGABYTE AORUS 27-inch 1440p 165Hz HDR Gaming Monitor for $349.99 shipped. Normally $400 or more, today’s deal marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked.
If frame rate matters more than resolution, considering the ASUS ROG Swift 24.5-inch 1080p 360Hz HDR Gaming Monitor instead. It can be picked up on Amazon for $490, which saves around $110 from today’s lead deal. Sure, it doesn’t pack 1440p support, but at 1080p you’ll be able to drive up to 360Hz which is quite a bit faster when it comes to refresh rates than what you’ll find above.
However, you won’t want to miss out on the LG UltraGear sale that we found yesterday. Pricing starts at $297 and there are quite a few 1440p gaming monitors to choose from there. Refresh rates range from 144Hz to 165Hz depending on the screen size and model you choose, so be sure to give that post a look for other great ways to give your desk a visual upgrade.
