[Newegg is offering a 27" 1080p Acer gaming monitor with a refresh rate of 280 Hz for just $200 through the end of today. This deal is a $170 reduction from the regular $370 price of a 1080p gaming monitor.

This is the best inexpensive gaming monitor deal you'll see this week, assuming you're okay with losing some premium features in favor of a fast, bright 400-nit panel for competitive gaming. [The Acer Nitro XV271Z boasts a blazingly fast 280Hz refresh rate (overclocked) and 0.5ms response time (also overclocked) on an IPS panel, making it ideal for competitive games like Valorant and CS:GO.

At $200, this is a great price for this kind of monitor, especially if you're pairing it with one of the best gaming laptops or assembling a budget gaming PC with an AMD Radeon RX.

While the price is attractive, the Nitro monitor has a rather plain appearance with little flair, save for the red accents on the bottom of the desktop stand. However, if smooth, speedy gameplay is a priority, this design may not be a deal-breaker for competitive gamers. Additionally, a VESA mounting option is included if you want to save space on your desk.

At this price, don't expect the monitor to be loaded with features. As monitors go, it's minimalist: no USB ports, underwhelming speakers, and no impressive HDR support. Nevertheless, if you're looking for top-notch performance in a $200 280Hz gaming monitor, this is the best option.
