ViewSonic's 144Hz Curved Gaming Monitor Drops to $180

Attachment 22090

If you’re a serious competitive gamer, a gaming monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate is necessity. Of course, getting that in an affordable package is tricky, and if you prefer curved monitors, you're in for an even higher price tag. But if you're searching for a curved, high-refresh gaming display on a budget, you're in luck today. We’ve just spotted a 144Hz, FreeSync-equipped, 27-inch curved gaming monitor from ViewSonic on sale for $189.99.

While we haven’t seen this display in action ourselves, $60 off a 144Hz monitor is worth considering. With FreeSync for tear-free gaming with an AMD graphics card, plus an acceptable 5ms gray-to-gray response time, it should offer reliable gaming performance.

It also has potential to produce some decent images, thanks to an impressive 3,000:1 contrast ratio and 88 percent coverage of the NTSC color gamut. We just wish it could get brighter than its rated 280 nits.
