Budget and Midrange: ASUS ROG Strix 180Hz and Alienware 280Hz QD-OLED
If you want a high refresh rate monitor without overspending, the ASUS ROG Strix 27-inch XG27ACS and Alienware AW2725D sit in a very sweet spot. The ASUS is a 27-inch QHD panel with a 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, plus Fast IPS tech, Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync, G-Sync compatibility, USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort 1.4. At USD 198 (approx. RM930) and 26% off, it is one of the strongest value-focused gaming monitor deals for players who also need 133% sRGB and 97% DCI-P3 coverage for creative work.
The Alienware 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor aims higher.

Its QD-OLED panel delivers a 1.5M:1 contrast ratio and 99.3% DCI-P3 color, earning VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. Priced at USD 399.99 (approx. RM1,880) after a USD 150 (approx. RM705) drop at Newegg, it undercuts many rivals with similar specifications while offering premium aesthetics and a fully adjustable stand. A quotable takeaway here: “This Alienware 27-inch gaming monitor is now down a significant USD 150 and has hit its lowest price in 30 days.”
Premium 4K and Dual-Mode: ASUS ROG WOLED and Acer Predator X32
For buyers chasing a 4K gaming monitor discount at the top end, two models stand out. The ASUS ROG Strix 32-inch WOLED dual-mode monitor currently holds a record-low price of USD 814.00 (approx. RM3,825) after a 26% cut. It can run either in 4K at 240Hz or FHD at 480Hz, giving you one screen for cinematic single-player and another for esports-level responsiveness in a single package. Its WOLED panel is certified VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, covers 99% DCI-P3 with Delta E<2 accuracy, and uses a glossy TrueBlack finish for enhanced perceived sharpness and deep contrast.
The Acer Predator X32 focuses on QD-OLED gaming monitor tech in a 31.5-inch UHD 3840 x 2160 curved display with a 1700R radius, 16:9 aspect ratio, and true 10-bit color. It reaches 4K at 240Hz with a 0.03ms GtG response time, AMD FreeSync Premium, and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, delivering 99% DCI-P3 coverage and up to 1000 nits at HDR 3% window. According to the source, “you can currently get the monitor for its lowest price on the retailer” at USD 699.99 (approx. RM3,285) after a 30% or USD 300 (approx. RM1,410) reduction from USD 999.99 (approx. RM4,690).
ASUS ROG Strix 360Hz: Hitting a Lower Price Tier
Rounding out these gaming monitor deals is the ASUS ROG Strix 27-inch XG27QNGV, a QHD 1440P monitor with a 360Hz refresh rate (well above the usual 144Hz baseline), 1ms response time, Ultrafast IPS panel, and an esports dual-mode feature that targets competitive players. It also includes Ambient Adaptive Technology, Aura Sync lighting, and a 3-year warranty, positioning it as a premium high refresh rate monitor that now reaches a lower price tier thanks to an 8% saving. While the exact street price is not detailed beyond that percentage, the reduced tier makes it more approachable for players who were previously stuck at 240Hz options. If your priority is maximum frame rate at QHD rather than OLED-level contrast, this model fills that gap between budget IPS and ultra-premium OLED, especially for fast-paced shooters and esports titles.
