Gaming monitor with 'crazy visuals' is 'outstanding value for money' after £70 price cut

One customer rated the monitor's speed and functionality 10/10 and labelled it the "best purchase ever" Gaming is a huge pastime for people and every gamer needs a good set-up - whether that be a top notch gaming chair or a high quality monitor. After all, players need to see every obstacle that is coming their way. Luckily, Amazon has swooped in with a limited time offer of nearly 30 per cent off a much-loved gaming monitor. The KTC 27 Inch 240Hz Curved Gaming Monitor has "perfect picture quality" and is "outstanding value for money," according to satisfied customers. The monitor is currently £199.99 - down from £269.99. That is a whopping 26 per cent off the original price and is a saving of £70. "See every detail in stunning clarity" with this 240hz gaming monitor that "eliminates screen tearing" for a truly satisfying and immersive gaming experience. This delivers vibrant colours and razor-sharp clarity. What's more, the 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor features a curvature radius of 1000 millimetres that closely mimics the natural shape of your eyes, working to reduce distortion and provide a wider field of view. With 2K high resolution, the 27 inch 1440P computer monitor released "unparalleled picture quality" and "breath-taking" sharpness, alongside a "cutting-edge" QHD display and QHD 2560x1440 pixels ultrawide screen. Want to see colours come to life? The monitor boasts a 124 per cent High Color Gamut and 178° wide viewing angle as well as a pre-set sRGB with colour calibration technology, ensuring that images and graphics appear "as vibrant and authentic as possible". Are you a parent worried about your children's eyes? Or a gaming-enthusiast adult who wants to protect your peepers? The monitor is fitted with anti-blue light technology - a nifty addition to an already stellar product. If you want to shop around before committing, this Samsung Odyssey G5 32 Inch 165Hz QHD Gaming Monitor is down £30 on Argos - not as big as a saving as its Amazon counterpart, but decent all the same. The monitor, with 1000R curvature Vivid scenes, QHD 2560x1440 resolution that boasts "incredibly detailed, pin-sharp images," and DR10 that "brings game scenes to life," is down from £219 to £189. Elsewhere, this MSI MAG 27C6X Full HD 27" Curved VA LCD Monitor is £169 at Currys. With Full HD resolution, just 1 ms response time and Adaptive-Sync, as well as a 250 Hz refresh rate, this could be more up your street. If you prefer the original Amazon monitor, then you're in good company. The product enjoys a stellar 4.4 rating on Amazon and the positive reviews have come in thick and fast. One consumer gushed: "It's really worth the money and is really big compared to the old monitor I was using. It's so much better and the visuals are crazy. No sound but it's all good as I usually have a speaker. "Adjustments are easy to figure out as my eyes are a bit sensitive but its really good. Speed and functionality are all 10/10. Best purchase ever. Was second guessing buying as it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for." Another raved: "Great screen for the money, bright colours, fast frame rate, large enough for what I need and was delivered very quickly. On the whole, very happy." A third agreed: "The picture clarity is impressive, providing vibrant colours and sharp details that enhance my gaming experience. The 170Hz refresh rate makes for smooth gameplay, reducing motion blur during fast-paced action." However, the build quality received mixed feedback, with some praising its construction while others found it poor. "I was genuinely impressed with this monitor," one customer conceded. "I didn't expect much due to it's price but needed a cheap monitor and it blew away my expectations. It's bright and sharp (not many 24" at 1440p). "Colours are a bit overcooked but they are vibrant. Build quality is lacking but for the price I expected it to be. Backlight bleed is fine. Overall if you need a cheap but above average monitor I can recommend." Another shared: "Pretty great 1440p 24" monitor, but with flaws. The 185 Hz refresh rate feels smooth, and the brightness is impressive at around 560 nits. The 122 PPI is a decent increase from the 109 PPI of a 27" 1440p display. "I'm giving it 3/5 stars due to the matte coating, which is quite visible on white backgrounds, and because my unit had coil whine that was audible and annoying." A third said: "I've noticed that both monitors have a single dead pixel each... I find these dead pixels quite distracting and frustrating. They're affecting my focus, especially when working with high-resolution code and graphics." In any case, the Gaming Monitor is available at this price on Amazon for a short time only so if you fancy snapping it up, you need to be quick.
