Get this fast 27" 144Hz IPS gaming monitor for $288.

Usually we pass on deals where the product is on backorder for several weeks. But ViewSonic's VX2758-2KP-MHD gaming monitor deserves an exception. Because unless you go with a generic brand or try your luck with a refurbished product, you won't get the same specs at this discounted price.

Amazon is selling the 27" monitor for $287.99. It usually sells for around $320 and is listed on ViewSonic's website for $335.99. Of course, saving $32 isn't going to change anyone's life, but for what you get here, it's a great price. For example, Acer's XG270HU offers the same overall features, but sells for $372.89.

This is an IPS display, and you can expect better color accuracy and wider viewing angles compared to cheaper TN panels. It also has a 2560x1440 resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate, and 1 ms response time (MPRT). Up with a mid-range graphics card would be a great combination with this panel.

FreeSync support is also part of the package; whether you use a Radeon RX 5700 or 5700 XT to avoid the black screen issues that some users have is up to you, but there are plenty of other cards that support FreeSync.

One thing to note is that the monitors will not ship until March 23. If you don't mind waiting a few weeks, you can order now. Perhaps they will be restocked soon.
