This Week’s Gaming Monitor Deals: Is It Worth Buying Now?
Gaming monitor deals this week span budget 240Hz screens, mid-range QD-OLED gaming monitors, and extreme high refresh rate monitors, offering competitive and casual players a rare chance to upgrade between 1080p, 1440p, and 4K at lower prices while still getting smooth performance and modern features across a wide range of sizes and panel types.
Verdict: yes, this round of gaming monitor deals is worth a look. Entry-level 240Hz and 180–200Hz panels now sit around the USD 119.99–199.99 range (approx. RM550–RM920), while premium OLED and QD-OLED options with 240Hz and higher refresh rates dip under USD 1,000 (approx. RM4,600). The standout bargain is the Dell 27-inch 240Hz monitor at USD 119.99 (approx. RM550), which is the most affordable high-refresh option here and a clear win for budget gaming. At the top end, steep discounts on 4K 240Hz QD-OLED and ultrawide OLED models make high-end displays more attainable without straying into four-figure territory.
Budget High-Refresh Heroes: Dell, Gigabyte and LG Under $200
If you want a budget gaming monitor that still feels fast, three deals stand out. The Dell 27" SE2726HG is a 27-inch FHD 240Hz IPS monitor with AMD FreeSync Premium, now down 20% to USD 119.99 (approx. RM550). It brings smooth 240Hz motion plus 99% sRGB coverage, making it suitable for both fast-paced games and basic creative work. According to the source, “this deal gives it next-level value for money,” thanks to the combination of 240Hz and IPS color performance.
Stepping up in resolution and size, Gigabyte’s GS32QCA is a 31.5-inch QHD 2560×1440 VA curved gaming monitor with a 180Hz refresh rate and a moderate 1500R curve. It dropped from USD 240 (approx. RM1,100) to a current low of USD 200 (approx. RM920), undercutting typical 32-inch curved pricing while still offering deep blacks and smooth motion. For players who prefer flat panels, the LG 27G610A-B Ultragear is a 27-inch 1440p display with a 200Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, up to 99% sRGB and DisplayHDR 400 for USD 199.99 (approx. RM920). It targets fast-paced gaming without demanding a top-tier GPU.
Mid-Range Sweet Spot: Alienware 27" QD-OLED at 280Hz
For buyers who want a premium look and picture but don’t want to spend close to four figures, the 27-inch Alienware QD-OLED gaming monitor hits a strong middle ground. This QHD 1440p display offers a 280Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC compatibility, plus HDR400 and USB-C connectivity with a fully adjustable stand. Newegg cuts USD 150 (approx. RM690) off its price, taking it to USD 399.99 (approx. RM1,840), its lowest level in 30 days.
Beyond speed, QD-OLED technology delivers a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio and 99.3% DCI-P3 color, backed by VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 certification for detailed dark scenes and lively colors. At 27 inches, QHD resolution remains sharp, and the 280Hz ceiling is more than enough for both competitive shooters and cinematic single-player titles. Compared to many “standard” QHD high-refresh monitors, this deal means you are paying close to typical pricing while gaining OLED-level contrast and distinctive Alienware styling.
Extreme Esports Speed and Sub-$1,000 OLED Flagships
Competitive players chasing every millisecond will be drawn to the Alienware AW2524HF, a 24.5-inch FHD 1920×1080 gaming monitor with a native 480Hz refresh rate, overclockable to 500Hz, and a quoted 0.5ms response time. It sits at its 30-day low of USD 499.99 (approx. RM2,300). With 99% sRGB coverage and an IPS panel, it combines esports-grade motion clarity with consistent color and a flexible stand offering height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustments plus a 3-year advanced exchange warranty. This price is high for 1080p but appropriate if you play competitive titles at hundreds of frames per second and care more about speed than resolution.
If you want cutting-edge visuals, several OLED and QD-OLED gaming monitor deals keep prices under USD 1,000 (approx. RM4,600). A 32-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 QD-OLED gaming monitor with 4K resolution and 240Hz refresh rate is discounted by 23%, reducing its cost by USD 300.99 (approx. RM1,380). Meanwhile, a 27-inch Acer Predator 4K 240Hz OLED gaming monitor with FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC compatibility drops by USD 200 (approx. RM920). There is also an LG 37G800A-B 37-inch Ultragear 4K curved gaming monitor at 165Hz and DisplayHDR 600, with a 31% saving stated. These reductions move flagship high refresh rate monitor options into a more attainable price band for enthusiasts who want both resolution and speed.
