Best gaming monitor deal: Asus ROG Strix hits best-ever price

TL;DR: The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG 27-inch 4K HDR gaming monitor is currently on sale for $337.99 at Amazon, down from its usual $449 price.

High-end gaming monitors don’t always see deep discounts, which makes this latest drop on ASUS’s ROG Strix a strong contender for the next upgrade in your setup. 

As of Feb. 11, the 27-inch ASUS ROG Strix gaming monitor has dipped to $337.99 at Amazon, cutting $111 off its regular price and pushing it into a much more accessible range for gamers wanting to make the jump to 4K. After checking price tracker camelcamelcamel, we’ve confirmed that this is the best-ever price for this model.

In terms of specs, what really sets this monitor apart is its dual-mode design. You can run it at a sharp 4K resolution with a 160Hz refresh rate for cinematic single-player titles — like Red Dead Redemption 2, Detroit: Become Human, or The Last of Us series — or switch to Full HD at a blistering 320Hz for competitive play in Fortnite and Overwatch, all with a simple hotkey toggle.

Combined with ASUS’s Fast IPS panel and a 1ms response time, it aims to deliver smooth motion without sacrificing clarity.

Visual quality is another highlight. That’s because the display supports HDR and covers roughly 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which helps colors look vibrant while maintaining sharp detail during fast gameplay. Technologies like Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync and G-SYNC compatibility are also onboard to reduce tearing and ghosting, making it a strong pick for shooters and esports titles

Connectivity is flexible with USB-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort options that make it easy to hook up gaming PCs, laptops, or consoles. If you’ve been eyeing a premium 4K gaming monitor but waiting for the right price, we wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger as Amazon has marked this as a limited-time deal.

You can also snag monitor deals on Amazon that are a little more budget-friendly. For instance, the 27-inch QHD LG UltraGear monitor is also on sale for 50% off. For those shopping with an even bigger budget, the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 curved gaming monitor has had a $500 price cut at Amazon.
