Asus VY249HGR | 23.8-inch | 1080p | 120 Hz | 1 ms | $119.99 $84.75 at Newegg (save $35.24)
This Asus monitor is pretty much the lowest you will want to go for any gaming rig right now, but it's awfully cheap, making it a perfect secondary monitor or primary screen for a budget setup. At $40 off, this 120 Hz Full HD monitor comes with a 1 ms response time, so it should be plenty snappy for games too.

If you're looking for a small monitor to work as a secondary screen or have little desk space, Acer's Nitro KG251Q P3BIIP is full HD, has a refresh rate of 180 Hz, and is AMD FreeSync compatible for super snappy visuals. The brightness won't wow you but it is HDR ready which should help make up for that brightness with a better contrast.

Acer Nitro KC241Y Sbiip | 23.8-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | VA | $172.99 $109.99 at Amazon (save $67)
Why do monitor model names need to be so confusing? It's an eternal mystery. But if you can decode this Acer, you'll find it's a cracking deal. A 165 Hz gaming monitor for just over $100. Yes, it's VA, but at this price point, something's gotta give.

27 inches, 180 Hz refresh rate, and a 0.5 ms response time—this is almost everything you may want from a 1080p screen, and it is at a good price. This Acer monitor may have a funny name, but its specs don't play around.

Samsung Odyssey G3 (2024 refresh) | 27-inch | 1 ms response time | AMD FreeSync | 180 Hz | $229.99 $129.99 at Amazon (save $100)
Samsung's 2024 refresh of its Odyssey G3 monitor is very solid for any 1080p gamer. It comes with a 180 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time, and AMD's FreeSync. At just 250 brightness, this screen is let down somewhat by not being all that bright, but it's otherwise a nice saving on a good budget monitor.

ASRock Phantom PG27Q15R2A | 27-inch | 1440p | 165 Hz | VA | $239.99 $137.77 at Newegg (save $102.22)
ASRock's gaming monitors are always so darned cheap—we love them for that. This 1440p panel offers resolution and a rapid refresh rate for a potent PC gaming combo, though the built-in Wi-Fi antenna helps it stand out from the crowd. That's hardly essential but could come in useful for some.

Acer Nitro KG271U N3bmiipx | 27-inch | 1440p | 180 Hz | IPS | $179.99 $149.99 at Amazon (save $30)
A 180 Hz IPS 1440p gaming monitor for just $150? Shut the front door. This is the real 1 ms G-to-G deal in terms of response, but the obvious limitation is the 250 nit brightness. If you game is a very bright room, this monitor won't be a great choice. But if yours is a gaming dungeon, then this monitor is a stellar deal.

Gigabyte GS27QC | 27-inch | 1440p | 165 Hz | $229.99 $159.99 at Newegg (save $70)
What can't Gigabyte do? This 1440p curved monitor has a solid refresh rate, decent response time, and does it all at a great price point. That 1500R curve is pretty tight so you will need to be comfortable with a curved screen to justify this one.

KTC H27T22 | 27-inch | 1440p | 165 Hz | 1 ms | $289.99 $169.99 at Newegg (save $120)
Cheap and cheerful sums up this monitor well. With a max refresh rate of 165 Hz, a 1 ms response time, and 1440p resolution, it has what you need out of a budget 1440p option. Its panel isn't the brightest, and you will get a more vibrant screen out of a more expensive option, but it's a solid choice for the price.

Acer Nitro XV271U M3bmiiprx | 27-inch | 1440p | 180 Hz | IPS | $289.99 $169.99 at Amazon (save $120)
This Acer monitor is a steal for all you prospective competitive gamers, hitting a high refresh rate and low response time sweet spot (0.5-1 ms gray-to-gray). It's the same price as the Odyssey G5 below but is better for those of you who prefer an IPS panel to a VA.

Alienware AW2725DM | 27-inch | IPS | 2560 x 1440p | 180 Hz | $269.99 $199.99 at Dell (save $81)
This would be a great price for any 180 Hz 1440p IPS gaming monitor, but for an Alienware? This sort of price doesn't come around that often. This G-Sync-compatible display can clock all the way up to that top refresh rate through the DisplayPort 1.4 connection, but you also get two HDMI 2.1 ports, three USB ports, and a collection of cables to play with, too. If you're building a rig on a budget but still want an excellent gaming monitor for less, Alienware has you covered here.

Acer's $200+ 1440p shows its more premium price point in an up to 240 Hz refresh rate and up to 0.5 ms response time. Both of these combine to make a very smooth gaming experience. You just need to make sure you have a good enough rig to match the refresh rate with your fps.

Dell 32 Plus S3225QS | 32-inch | 4K | 120 Hz | 5 ms | $369.99 $287.99 at Dell (save $82)
This is not a pure gaming monitor. But it's a fabulous price for a 120 Hz 32-inch 4K monitor. The 5 ms response time isn't great, but then response performance claims from monitor makers can be misleading. Not a pick for esports, but as an affordable option for large-screen 4K gaming, this looks intriguing.

Acer Nitro VG270K | 27-inch | 160 Hz (up to 320 Hz) | 0.5 ms | $349.99 $299.99 at Amazon (save $50)
This Acer Nitro monitor has a neat little function, where it can swap to a lower resolution in order to get a much higher refresh rate. It means, at its price point, you don't have to pick between 4K and 320 Hz. You can have both, just not at the same time.

Okay, this monitor is quite expensive, but it's one of our absolute favourites for a reason. A gorgeous OLED 4K screen, with a 240 Hz refresh rate, and 0.03 ms response time. It has everything you may want from a modern monitor, and looks good while it does it.

MSI Optix MAG342CQR | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | 144 Hz | VA | $259.99 $209.99 at Amazon (save $50)
A high-refresh 34-inch ultrawide gaming monitor for barely more than $200? Affirmative. OK, it's "only" 144 Hz and has a VA panel. But it's rated at 1 ms, so the response should be reasonable. The 300 nit brightness isn't stellar, either, but for the money this is still a super appealing proposition. 34-inch ultrawide is such a nice form factor.

Acer Nitro EDA343CUR V3bmiippx | 34-inch | 3440 x 1440 | 180Hz | VA | $319.99 $274.99 at Amazon (save $45)
Yes, this is the Acer Nitro EDA343CUR V3bmiippx, not the Acer Nitro EDA343CUR Hbmiippx. Totally ridiculous naming, but the V3bmiippx as opposed to Hbmiippx indicates 180 Hz as opposed to 100 Hz. And that's a lot of Hz on a 34-inch ultrawide for under $300.

This 34-inch curved ultrawide caught my eye thanks to... well, being an Alienware curved ultrawide for a reasonable price. It might be a VA panel, but there are certain advantages to that particular screen tech, including high contrast ratios, deep blacks, and good color reproduction. Plus, this one's plenty fast, and gets you on the speedy ultrawide train without breaking the bank. Nice.

When this particular OLED ultrawide launched in 2023, it became one of our instant favourites and a five-star screen. But it was pricey, very pricey at $1,100. Now it's literally half the cost, and suddenly, widescreen OLED gaming feels doable for reasonable money. Hurrah!

This Innocn 49-inch curved monitor is quite impressive, with a 144 Hz refresh rate, built-in speakers, and HDR 400 compatibility. At 3840 x 1080, it's not quite as impressive as the INNOCN below, but much better on the wallet. This is a Prime member price, so you need Amazon Prime to access it.

Though the sale on Amazon says this monitor retails for $999.99, Innocn's site originally says it retailed at $1,199.99, so you might actually be getting an even better deal than we thought. Either way, getting an OLED 1440p 49-inch ultrawide monitor for this much is super solid, and explains why it's the only monitor we're highlighting at this price point. This is, unfortunately, a Prime Member deal, so you need Prime to grab it for yourself.

This Gigabyte monitor has everything you may need from one. It has a QD OLED panel, super ultrawide 5120 x 1440 resolution, a slight 1800R curve, and comes with a response time of 0.03 ms. It's an expensive monitor, but you notice that cost in all it has to offer. It's also almost a quarter off its MSRP.

Looks familiar? This is pretty much exactly the same monitor with the same Samsung QD-OLED panel as the Gigabyte model above. These 49-inch OLEDs won't be for everyone. The aspect ratio is hopeless for esports, for instance. But for sheer scale and immersion, nothing comes close. It's a huge panel, and now it's approaching real-world affordability.

What a difference a letter makes... especially when it comes to gaming monitors. The code names given to monitors are often impenetrable, but the difference between this MAG 321UP and the MAG321UPX is that this one has a 165 Hz refresh instead of 240 Hz. That's the only difference between this and the more expensive one. If you're not concerned about the refresh rate difference (and do you have the hardware to hit a matching 240 fps otherwise?), then this is where the smart OLED money is spent.
