ASUS’ new 27-inch ROG Strix 4K 160Hz gaming monitor is a steal at $383 ($116 off)

$116 off/$383

While you can still grab Alienware’s AW2724HF 27-inch 360Hz QHD display for $300, we just spotted another solid deal for those eyeing a 4K panel instead. Amazon is offering ASUS’ ROG Strix XG27UCS 27-inch 4K 160Hz gaming monitor for $382.99 shipped. This regularly $500 monitor is fairly new to the market, and today’s deal lands as the first big discount after it fell to $449 earlier this month. By cashing in on this deal, you can now save 23% or $116 on a display that’s suitable for high-end gaming. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this panel since its debut earlier this year in March.

The ASUS ROG Strix XG27YUCS gaming monitor that’s discounted today sports a 27-inch Fast IPS panel similar to the Alienware AW2724HF and a few others we mentioned recently. It’s a Display HDR400-certified 4K monitor with support for up to 160Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, and it also covers up to 95% of the DCI-P3 color space. This G-Sync compatible model also supports ASUS’ Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync (ELMB SYNC) to “eliminate ghosting and tearing” while gaming. Other highlights of the ROG Strix XG27UCS include a matte finish on the panel, a good selection of I/O including a Type-C PD port, and a sturdy base, among other things.

This, by the way, is not the only 4K gaming monitor that’s discounted right now. If you are looking for some alternatives to the ROG XG27UCS, then check out Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G7 4K 165Hz gaming monitor at $600. It sports a relatively bigger 32-inch panel and is down $500 from its usual price of $1,100.
