I wanted it at least 27 inches, curved, with 1440p support, a high refresh rate, and low response time. I wanted all that for around 100. A tough ask, I thought, until I saw the MSI MAG 275CQF for 119. It's now even cheaper for Prime Day , and I can't recommend it enough if you want a quality budget gaming monitor.

Some of you may scoff at this pick, that perhaps I should have gone for a 4K display instead, or picked something larger if it's my main monitor. Truth
is, for the relatively little PC gaming I still do these days, it suits me just fine. And it's an ideal size for work, too, giving me that extra bit of screen real estate I need for multiple windows and tabs.

The MSI MAG 275CQF pretty much hits everything I was after. It's a 27-inch curved display that offers 1440p resolution support, a refresh rate of up to 180Hz, a 0.5ms response time, HDR , and both display port or HDMI
connectivity options. And best of all, it now only costs 101 in this week's Amazon sale.

So, if you're bemoaning ridiculous prices for RAM, storage and graphics
cards, and you're looking for a way to upgrade or get the most out of your current rig, then this cheap monitor could be a nice little boost to your gaming experience. Buy the MSI MAG 275CQF at Amazon MSI MAG 275CQF 27-inch Curved 1440p Gaming Monitor: was 139 now 101 at Amazon I recently upgraded to this gaming monitor from MSI and I haven't looked back. There are definitely bigger and better monitors out there, but you get serious value for money
with this MAG 275CQF. It's a good-sized 27-inch curved display, with support for up to 1440p resolution, a max refresh rate of 180Hz, and a response time of 0.5ms for smooth and responsive gaming. As far as budget gaming monitors go, it's hard to beat at this price. View Deal I've found the MSI MAG 275CQF is the perfect pairing to my rig, as my spec is built around running most games in 1440p at 60fps or higher. With a Ryzen 5 9600X and a 16GB RX 9060XT, I can make use of the monitor's full resolution and the higher refresh rate
in many less demanding titles. And that's mostly what I'm playing on it, with my PS5 Pro used for any cutting-edge games I want the big screen experience on.

Considering I work on the PC, too, I really like the extra screen size, responsiveness, and the sleek curved design for writing and all my other work needs. I've currently got the MSI MAG 275CQF paired with a basic 1080p
monitor in a dual-screen setup, but I'm sorely tempted just to add another
now that it's on sale again to get one huge curved display setup.
