Get this 27-inch ASUS VA279QG 120Hz monitor for dirt-cheap

If you are on a very tight budget but you still want to upgrade your monitor to something more exciting than a standard 60Hz office monitor, ASUS has a perfect deal for you. The VA279QG is currently available for as little as $109, and for this money, you get quite a lot of a monitor.

The ASUS VA279QG is a big 27-inch IPS monitor with a classic FullHD resolution and a wide 178-degree viewing angle. It can operate with a refresh rate of 120Hz, which is more than enough for buttery-smooth gaming. And since the monitor is FullHD, you will be able to see high refresh rates in more games since your GPU will have to render fewer pixels at 120Hz. Besides, the monitor supports variable refresh rate (VRR), a feature that can further reduce stutters by dynamically adjusting the refresh rate to your FPS.

Other display specs include a 1ms MPRT response time, 16.7 million colors, 99% sRGB coverage, and a typical brightness of 300 nits. It is also covered with an anti-glare coating to reduce reflections. Ports-wise, you get one DisplayPort 1.2, one HDMI 1.4, one VGA, and one headphone jack.

There are also two 2W speakers, but set your expectation right—these are unlikely to blow your mind with high-quality audio. Finally, there is a VESA 100 mount and a cutout in the base, which lets you mount your phone, namecard, or other small items for extra convenience.
