Along with the sharp QHD resolution, you can look forward to an excellent refresh rate of 165Hz (with DisplayPort; 144Hz with HDMI), 350 nits of brightness, a great 3000:1 contrast ratio, and a quick 2ms response time, along with full support for AMD FreeSync Premium to prevent screen tearing. Put simply, it’s a stellar choice for high framerate gaming at 1440p, with all the brightness and contrast you could dream of having at a price this low. The 75% DCI-P3 color gamut — considerably better than regular 100% sRGB — is also very vivid and vibrant for a $300 panel, let alone a Cyber Monday-discounted $200 one. Sure, it’s not the best you can find, but the bang-for-your-buck here is top shelf. Notably, the monitor has a 1500R curve, which you may not like if you’re used to flat monitors. That said, I’ve found curved monitors to be superior for gaming ever since I bought my first one several years ago, as it adds depth to the image and leads to a more immersive experience as a result. Give the curved design a chance, and once you get used to it, I think you’ll like it as much as I do. The only downside here is that you’re not getting HDR support, but honestly, HDR on monitors in the $300-400 price range is almost never worth your time, anyway. What matters more than anything else is the display’s color, and as I said, its 75% DCI-P3 coverage won’t disappoint you in the slightest. Ultimately, this is one of the best gaming monitors for budget-friendly 1440p gaming, and if you think it’ll be a good fit for your setup, you shouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger on one while it’s a whopping $100 off.
