Amidst rising costs for PC components, Amazon's Prime Day event is offering a welcome reprieve with significant discounts on gaming monitors. High-value deals are particularly prevalent for 1440p displays, with several options available for under AU$300.
The Alienware AW2725DM, a 27-inch QHD monitor featuring a Fast IPS panel and a 180Hz refresh rate, is currently on sale for AU$284.05, down from its usual AU$449.90. This represents a substantial saving for a monitor with these specifications.
For those seeking even greater savings, the KTC H27T22C-3 offers comparable QHD resolution and an even higher 210Hz refresh rate for approximately AU$70 less than the Alienware. This model, recognized by PC Gamer as a top budget 1440p display, is priced at AU$216.50 during Prime Day, a significant reduction from its standard AU$289.99. A review noted its strong performance for its price point, stating it's "pretty nice by any reasonable metric."
Further down the price scale, the Lenovo LOQ 27Q-10 provides a 27-inch QHD display with a 180Hz refresh rate and a Fast IPS panel. Typically retailing at AU$299, this monitor is available for just AU$170 during the Prime Day sale.
These deals highlight a strong trend of affordability in the gaming monitor market during this sales event, particularly for those looking for 1440p resolutions.
