Gamers: The Asus ROG Strix monitor is on sale for its lowest price ever
Save $110: As of Jan. 12, Amazon marked down the 27-inch Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG monitor to $339, saving you 24% on the $449 list price.
Good gaming peripherals can seriously change your setup, but high price tags don't make it easy to invest in those upgrades.
That's why taking advantage of deals year-round is the way to go, and as of Jan. 12, there's a solid gaming monitor deal worth checking out. The 27-inch Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG is on sale at Amazon for $339, bringing it's price down $110 from its $449 list price. That 24% discount also marks the best price we've ever seen on this monitor.
The monitor has a 4K display, with an excellent resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. The Dual Mode gets you access to a refresh rate of 160Hz for 4K gaming or 320Hz at 1080p, making it an especially intriguing option for anyone who enjoys both AAA games, as well as competitive games where a faster refresh rate is more important than a higher resolution. The response time isn't the best we've seen on a gaming monitor, but decent for the price at 1 ms.
The display also has a 95% DCI-P3 color gamut — it won't be the most vibrant display on the market, but it's decent for the price point. Port-wise, this monitor is more limited with one DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI port, and one USB-C port that has 15 watts of power delivery.
If you aren't quite ready to invest in a premium gaming monitor that can run you upwards of $1,000, the Asus ROG Strix comes with some cons, but is ultimately a solid get for under $350.
