Top Three Budget Gaming Monitors That Should Be Sitting on Your Desktop
It's been a while since we at Tekspecz have penned a must-have gadget or hardware you should purchase. So, we continue this series with Top Three budget gaming Monitors that will be well worth your purchase and should be sitting on your desktop.
There is a bevy of sub $500 gaming monitors on the market with the same features found on the pricey options, which also has as high refresh rates, peaked brightness levels, and local dimming built directly into the monitors.
The three listed budget gaming Monitors goes follow;
1: AOC 27G2 Gaming Monitor
The AOC 2762 gaming monitor is the first pick on this list. AOC is known for manufacturing quality monitors that usually fall in the respectable price range. This model retails for $249, featuring 1080 display resolution, but can max up to 1440p. Oh, I can't forget to mention the monitor has a 144Hz refresh rate giving you a fluid gaming experience. In addition, there is FreeSync support that will prevent the dreaded tearing, which can cause image distortion.

Acer Nitro ED270
The Acer Nitro ED270 gaming monitor retail price is a tad below $300 before tax. A low-budget display with a high refresh rate at 240Hz. There is support for both FreeSync and G-Sync technologies.
The gaming monitor's peak brightness is just 250-nits which may detract some potential buyers. A significant problem if you're in a sunny illuminated environment. But the high refresh rate will offer users a fast and high-performing gaming experience.
