I'm loving the fact this 1440p Asus gaming monitor is cheaper than most 1080p Fall Prime Day 'deals'

Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQA1A | 27-inch | 170Hz | 1440p | VA | $249.99$199.99 at Newegg (save $50)
For the budget-conscious gamer, Asus makes a mean gaming monitor. This screen may be cheaper, even costing less than some 1080p panels, yet it delivers 1440p resolution gaming with a 170Hz refresh rate (overclocked). Not too shabby.

Price check: Walmart $200

Just because today starts Amazon's Fall Prime Day deals, it doesn't mean that other retailers can't get in on the action. For instance, Newegg is offering an impressive discount on a 27-inch, 1440p TUF Gaming monitor priced at just $200. 

The Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQA1A was already competitively priced at $250, so an extra $50 off is a nice incentive. It also makes it the same price as some of the best 1080p Prime Day gaming monitor deals we've highlighted so far today. And cheaper than many others.

This 27-inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) monitor boasts an overclockable refresh rate, peaking at 170Hz (144Hz standard). Additionally, it features a 1ms response time and supports both HDR10 and FreeSync, though it is also G-Sync compatible.

I've used one of these monitors as a secondary display at our previous office. Surprisingly, for its price point, it offers decent ergonomics. The monitor can switch between landscape and portrait orientations and provides a 5-inch height adjustment. I really liked its image and color quality, making my frequent traverses through Google Sheets less dreary. 

However, my minor gripe with this monitor was its lackluster contrast. The blacks often appeared more gray than truly black. Nonetheless, if you're in the market for a reliable secondary monitor or considering an upgrade from 1080p to 1440p, this TUF Gaming monitor is an excellent choice.
