We’re also tracking the MSI 28-inch 4K 60Hz FreeSync Gaming Monitor marked down to $250, the new all-time low price. While you might not think 60Hz constitutes a gaming monitor, let me explain why it makes sense. Most gaming desktops can’t push more than 4K60 to begin with when gaming, so having a monitor with a higher refresh rate than that won’t fully be utilized. However, the 4K resolution paired with AMD’s FreeSync technology allows you to enjoy a tear-free experience when playing your favorite titles. And, being 4K, you can downscale the resolution in-game to 1440p if you need and go up to 4K with ultra graphics for gorgeous titles like Forza Horizon 5.
