TL;DR: The ASUS TUF Gaming 27-inch curved monitor is on sale for $159 at Amazon, down from its $229 list price. That saves you $70 on a Full HD gaming display with a 1,500R curve, up to 280Hz refresh rates, a 1ms response time, and AMD FreeSync Premium support.


Fast gaming monitors can get expensive in a hurry, especially once you start looking for the kind of refresh rates that make competitive games feel properly fluid. This ASUS TUF model, though, has now dropped to a much easier price for anyone after a curved PC panel that leans more into speed than flashy extras. 

As of April 8, the ASUS TUF Gaming Monitor is down to $159 at Amazon as a limited-time deal, which cuts $70 off its $229 list price. Better yet, that also brings this display down to its best-ever price on Amazon, as confirmed by price tracker camelcamelcamel

For that money, you’re getting a 27-inch Full HD monitor with a 1,500R curve, which should give games a slightly more wrapped-in feel than a standard flat panel. At 1080p, this size won’t be for everyone, but it does make more sense when paired with a super-fast refresh rate like this, since it is generally easier for more gaming PCs to push higher frame rates at Full HD than at 1440p or 4K.

ASUS rates the panel for up to 280Hz, along with a 1ms gray-to-gray response time, making it a strong fit for twitchy multiplayer games like Marathon and Arc Raiders, where motion clarity is really important.

It also has the extra gaming features you’d want to see at this price. AMD FreeSync Premium is here to help keep gameplay looking smooth and tear-free, while ASUS’ Extreme Low Motion Blur tech is designed to reduce ghosting during fast movement. Shadow Boost should also help bring out more detail in darker corners of a game without washing out brighter parts of the image.

Outside of pure speed, there are a few welcome bonuses too. ASUS says the monitor covers 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut for richer-looking color, and it also includes Eye Care features, DisplayWidget Center support, and a three-year warranty.

For those who might feel like splashing some extra cash on a 27-inch OLED, the Samsung 27 Odyssey OLED G6 series gaming monitor is still $200 off. Meanwhile, the 32-inch 4K OLED LG UltraGear monitor is under $800.
