While memory and storage prices are still high, there are still good discounts on other gaming-related hardware. Take Alienware’s AW2726DM, for example. Dell is selling it for $319.99, a $30 break from the usual price of $349.99. The 27-inch gaming monitor features an QD-OLED panel for deep, immersive black levels, and quantum dots for full and vivid colors. With a 240Hz refresh rate for super smooth gaming, and AMD FreeSync Premium Plus to keep your frames per second and refresh rate locked together, this monitor is a great, budget-friendly choice for PC gamers who don’t want to compromise on contrast and fast response times.

Connectivity is a bit limited, with a DisplayPort 1.4 port that supports up to 240Hz at 2560 x 1440, and two HDMI ports that support up to 120Hz at its peak resolution. While some other screens have USB hubs or audio connections, they aren’t necessary for PC gaming, and sometimes add to the cost. The included stand has adjustable swivel, height, pivot, and tilt, with a 100 x 100 VESA mount in case you want to mount it to a monitor arm or use a different stand. It also sports a lengthy three year warranty with coverage for burn-in.
