This 180Hz, 1440p Asus gaming monitor was a premium buy until it got slapped with this huge $110 discount

If you're quick, you can grab this fantastic Asus gaming monitor for its lowest-ever price, netting you a 27-inch, 180Hz, 1440p panel for $110 lower than usual. This Asus ROG Strix XG27ACG display is packed with top tech that will ensure a fast response and great image quality, making it a great buy for gamers looking to step up from a budget display.

If you're not a fan of white, worry not, as the same offer is available on both the XG27ACG-W shown here and the XG27ACG (black). Whichever color you get, though, both include the same key features that, on paper, make this Asus model one of the best gaming monitor buys available right now thanks to its hefty discount.

Given we're starting to see 1,000Hz gaming monitors get announced, a 180Hz display might not seem that impressive, but for most gamers it's still plenty. For any single-player game, it's more than enough, while for multiplayer games where lightning-fast reactions are required, it's still decently fast and very much puts the emphasis back on your graphics card to be able to churn out frame rates of over 180Hz at the resolution of this display.

Speaking of resolution, the combination of a 27-inch screen size and a 2,560 x 1,440 (1440p) resolution is still an ideal one for most gamers. It gets you a screen size that fills most of your vision when sat close while providing enough resolution for a sharp image. 1080p monitors might still be the most popular for many competitive games, but many titles - such as Call of Duty Warzone - really benefit from the extra detail visible with a higher-resolution display.

This is an LCD display, so you're not getting the ultra-fast response time of an OLED panel, but it still has a 1ms claimed response time from its Fast-IPS panel. We generally consider IPS the best choice of LCD panel for most gamers, as it tends to be faster than VA and provides better image quality than TN. You can read more about why in our IPS vs TN vs VA guide.

Also helping out the responsive feel of this panel is the inclusion of Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB). This technology flashes the LCD's backlight on and off in time with your frame rate, which helps reduce the effect of eye-tracking motion blur. This display also has G-Sync Compatible certification, ensuring both AMD and Nvidia GPU owners will be able to play games without image tearing or stutter.

Normally priced at $329.99, this display demands a premium over competing 27-inch, 1440p, LCD displays, thanks to its inclusion of ELMB and its USB-C connectivity. However, today's discount sees its price drop by a massive 33% to just $219.99. That's a huge saving and instantly makes this display a great buy, particularly if you're not able to jump to the cost of a 27-inch OLED but want to ensure you're getting as solid gaming performance as possible for your ~$200 budget. You can pick up this panel from Amazon via this link.
