This might be the best price I’ve ever seen for a gaming monitor. Today, if you mosey on over to eBay, you can find a refurbished Acer Nitro display going for just $103.55. This is a 27-inch 1440p display with 180Hz of refresh… and it has an IPS panel! That’s an absolute banger of a deal. Normally, even for a refurb, you’re looking at about $200-ish for this.
Aside from the color-accurate IPS panel (much better than the VA panels found on most new gaming monitors), this is a pretty basic design. The Acer Nitro KGB271U doesn’t feature any other inputs aside from HDMI and DisplayPort, and it isn’t even rated for AMD FreeSync.
But if you don’t need any bells and whistles, you’ll be absolutely gobsmacked by the value here. The popular 27-inch 2560×1440 form factor is a great upgrade to any standard 1080p display, and 180Hz of refresh plus 0.05ms of response time should be enough for smooth playback on any modern game if your desktop or laptop can handle it. I’d add on a VESA monitor arm with the savings.
This is a refurbished model coming directly from Acer’s official eBay store, along with a two-year Allstate warranty. The sale price is $108.55 with free shipping, but you can take an additional $5 off with coupon code YUSFSITHZW9NGCCM at checkout (or at least that’s what’s showing for me) for a final price of $103.55. Hot diggity dog, that’s a great price.
