Get an LG 27-inch IPS monitor with FreeSync for $150

For a period of time, the monitor market grew a bit stagnant with nearly all of the top-end models boasting a 30-inch IPS panel with a 2560x1600 resolution. That has finally changed, though many of the fancier 4K models carry premium price tags. If you're not ready to advance from 1080p and just want a decent option at a good price, you can snag an LG 27-inch monitor for $150.

LG's 27-inch monitor sports an IPS panel with a 75Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time (1ms with motion blur). It also supports FreeSync (not G-Sync, in other words).

This is a 6-bit panel with framerate control (FRC), which is a dithering technique to simulate an 8-bit panel. Other specs include 250 nits brightness, 178-degree viewing angles (horizontal and vertical), and over 99 percent coverage of the sRGB color space.
