Quality gaming peripherals can greatly improve your configuration, but their steep prices can complicate upgrades. Capitalizing on year-round offers is a clever strategy, and as of Jan. 12, there’s a significant deal on a gaming monitor. The 27-inch Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG is available on Amazon for $339, a $110 reduction from the $449 retail price. This 24% savings also marks the lowest price we have encountered for this monitor.

The monitor boasts a 4K display with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. With a Dual Mode, it offers a refresh rate of 160Hz for 4K gaming or 320Hz at 1080p, making it an attractive option for enthusiasts of both AAA titles and competitive games where a quicker refresh rate takes precedence over higher resolution. The response time stands at a satisfactory 1 ms for its price point, though it isn’t the quickest among gaming monitors.

The display covers a 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, which may not be the most vibrant available but is acceptable for its price range. Regarding connectivity, this monitor is somewhat limited, equipped with one DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI port, and one USB-C port with 15 watts of power delivery.

If you’re not prepared to spend on a high-end gaming monitor that can exceed $1,000, the Asus ROG Strix has some limitations but remains a reliable choice for under $350.
