Breaking News: A flash sale on Acer‘s official eBay store is offering a notable discount on a high-performance gaming monitor – a refurbished 27-inch 1440p 240Hz IPS monitor for just $178.99. This deal, live as of November 16, 2023, represents a savings of over $100 from the typical retail price.
Finding a quality gaming monitor, especially one featuring a color-accurate IPS panel, ofen comes wiht a hefty price tag.IPS (In-Plane Switching) technology is prized for its superior viewing angles and color reproduction compared to more common VA (Vertical alignment) panels. This makes it ideal for gamers who also engage in content creation, like photo or video editing. Acer’s current offering provides a rare chance to secure a high refresh rate IPS monitor at a budget-kind price point.
The monitor boasts a 2560×1440 resolution and a rapid 240Hz refresh rate, crucial for competitive gaming and smooth visuals. While the unit is refurbished, it’s directly sold by Acer through their official eBay storefront and includes a two-year warranty backed by Allstate Protection Plans, offering peace of mind beyond the standard 90-day refurbishment warranties often seen elsewhere. This extended warranty is a key differentiator, mitigating the typical risks associated with purchasing refurbished electronics.
Beyond the core specifications, this model is a streamlined experience. It lacks features like RGB lighting, focusing rather on delivering core gaming performance. Integrated speakers are present, but as PCWorld previously noted, their audio quality is generally subpar, making a dedicated headset or external speakers a worthwhile investment. The monitor does, however, feature a standard VESA mount, allowing for flexible positioning with a compatible monitor arm – a popular upgrade for ergonomic setups and multi-monitor configurations.
This monitor is especially well-suited for pairing with a primary OLED gaming monitor, creating a versatile dual-screen setup. The availability of this deal is limited by Acer’s current stock of refurbished units. Interested buyers are encouraged to act quickly. If this particular model sells out, PCWorld’s thorough guide to the best monitors provides a range of alternative options.
