I’ve noticed this Acer Nitro gaming monitor popping up on sale quite frequently, but that only makes this deal sweeter! Right now, Newegg is offering the 27-inch IPS model with a stunning 1440p resolution and a lightning-fast 180Hz refresh rate for just $160, a remarkable $110 discount off its regular price.
I’ll keep emphasizing this until it becomes common knowledge: if you have the option, always choose an IPS panel over a VA panel. The superior color accuracy allows for versatile use, whether you’re editing photos (like I did for this article) or diving into an intense gaming session (which I totally didn’t do while writing this). With monitors now boasting higher refresh rates, you get the best of both worlds for a home setup perfect for both work and play.
The Acer Nitro VG271U features an enhanced panel with a crisp 2560×1440 resolution, providing a substantial upgrade over standard 1080p monitors. Plus, with a lightning-fast 0.5ms response time, you won’t have to worry about lag interfering with your gaming performance.
It comes equipped with DisplayPort and dual HDMI inputs, and I appreciate the vibrant blue color of the included stand. However, if you prefer using a different stand or monitor arm, it’s fully compatible with standard VESA mounts.
Newegg’s deals can be fleeting, so if you’re eager to make a purchase, don’t hesitate! But if you can hold off, you might snag an even better deal when Prime Day monitor offers roll out next week.
