Since you will be staring at your monitor the entire time you are playing on your PC (except for VR gaming), you want the monitor you purchase to be a high-quality model. To that end, Gigabyte's G27QC is a curved version of the G27Q, which we ranked as the best gaming monitor for FreeSync gameplay, and is available now for $279.99.

This is the price after a $20 mail-in rebate. Without the rebate it is still $20 less than MSRP, but you can double your savings by filling out the required paperwork and mailing it to Gigabyte.

A great all-around display is worth the hassle. Built for fast-paced gameplay, this 27-inch monitor features a VA panel with a resolution of 2560x1440, a refresh rate of 165 Hz, and a response time of 1 ms (MPRT).

In other words, not only does it support FreeSync to keep the action smooth and tear-free, it also supports low frame correction; the advantage of LFC is that FreeSync will freeze when the frame rate drops below the display's minimum refresh rate.

HDR is also supported, but with a standard brightness of 250 nits, this bullet point won't sway your decision. More useful are the ergonomic features, which include a height-adjustable stand (130 mm) and a tilt range of -5 to 20 degrees.
