A great gaming monitor doesn’t need to take up your entire desk, and Amazon has just knocked a seriously speedy ASUS ROG Strix display down to its best price yet. 

As of June 4, the ASUS ROG Strix 27-inch 1440P USB-C HDR gaming monitor (XG27ACMS) is on sale at Amazon for $249, down from its typical $349 price. This 29% discount means $100 off the 27-inch Fast IPS model, with the listing currently shipped and sold by Amazon itself, free returns included, and faster delivery available for Prime members.

This cut has also taken the monitor to its lowest price ever (as seen on price tracker camelcamelcamel), not hitting a price point this low since December last year.

Along with a 2560 x 1440 QHD display, you’re getting a refresh rate as high as 320Hz when overclocked. This is exactly the kind of spec you want for shooters like Marathon, racing games like Forza Horizon 6, and even single-player games like 007: First Light, where smooth motion can make the gaming experience even better.

If all those Hz during high-octane titles make you worry about screen-tearing, though, ASUS’ added Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync works to keep that to a minimum — along with ghosting. 

The model in the ROG Strix range also comes with G-SYNC compatibility, DisplayHDR 400 support, USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode, and ASUS’ DisplayWidget Center software, so you can tweak monitor settings with a mouse instead of going through trial and error with on-screen buttons.

If you’re open to a monitor that’s a bit bigger, Samsung's 32-inch Odyssey G5 QHD gaming monitor has dropped to a record low price on Amazon, too. 

On the off-chance you may want to make the jump to QD-OLED, you can also save $350 on this 34-inch ASUS ROG Strix Ultrawide QD-OLED gaming monitor.

If you’re also a Pokémon TCG fan, although currently not available on Amazon, the newly announced Pitch Black expansion — Booster Packs, ETBs, Display Boxes, and Booster Bundles — is available to preorder at TCGplayer.
