The best budget 4K gaming monitor is now only $299, but there's another dual-mode monitor trying to steal the show

LG UltraGear 32GX850A-B: was $1,299.99 now $749.99 at Amazon

Dual-mode monitors usually come with a price premium, but this one's a good deal even if you never use the feature. It's a 32-inch 4K OLED from a company that knows a thing or two about making excellent panels—and with this much chopped off the price, it's worth some serious consideration no matter which way you look at it.

Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG: was $449 now $299 at Amazon

If you're an esports fiend on budget, this is the monitor to take the main stage. You can't go too wrong with a speedy 320 Hz refresh rate, plus the option of 4K resolution should you be looking for a single-player palate cleanser between competitive matches.

Many folks will get on perfectly well with just one monitor. However, if you're a PC gamer whose galaxy brain simply can't be contained by a single screen, have I got some deals for you.

First up, if you'll bear with the sense of deja vu for just a moment, is the LG UltraGear 32GX850A-B. Yes, our Andy did write a different deal post about this 32-inch 4K OLED earlier in the week, but it's only gone and come down in price since then. Now you can get this lovely dual-mode gaming monitor for only $750 from Amazon.

As for my second deal of the day, make some noise for the 27-inch Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG. If you're on a budget, this could take centre-stage as your primary gaming panel for only $299 from Amazon. Our Jeremy previously rated this more affordable option in his Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG gaming monitor review, effectively crowning it as our pick for the best budget 4K gaming monitor.

If you have the funds for both of the above, I can only imagine how powerful your dual screen setup will be. But if I'm being completely honest, the Asus ROG Strix XG27UCG is kind of overkill if you're just using it for second screen viewing or document spelunking.

Sure, you make a saving on this 4K monitor as it's an IPS panel, and not an OLED. But it's also a dual-mode monitor that can swap into a lower resolution, higher refresh mode; in other words, you're getting both a 4K, 160 Hz monitor and a 1080p, 320 Hz monitor in one for under $300.

Throwing it back over to the LG 32GX850A-B, this OLED with a typical brightness of 275 nits features dual-modes as well. For $750, you get 4K at 165Hz, and 1080p at an even speedier 330Hz. Given that a recent poll revealed that there are as many 4K gamers as 1080p ones among PC Gamer's ranks, this is arguably the best of both worlds.

That said, while this is a great deal on an OLED monitor, you'll need a decent GPU to get the most out of it in 4K. It's definitely worth checking our best GPU deals guide for bargains, but the best graphics cards often come at a premium. In other words, while you may be saving a buck on the monitor, committing to the high resolution, high-ish refresh rate gaming lifestyle might cost you in the end.
