It’s time to level up your battlestation. Amazon’s selling the Acer Nitro for just $99.99, which is 43 percent off of the original $173.99 and a frankly ludicrous price for a fast gaming display.
This 23.8-inch monitor has a fast refresh rate of 165Hz, which means visuals should be buttery smooth. It also has a solid port selection as well as AMD FreeSync, which is designed to reduce screen tearing. It even has multiple gaming modes with different color profiles. These profiles are intended to line up with the type of game you’re playing, whether it be racing or sports.
The Acer Nitro has a resolution of 1920×1080, a refresh rate of 165Hz, and a response time of 1ms. The response time is quite good, as it’s designed to smoothly render dramatic or abrupt transitions in games, reducing the likelihood of visual defects like smearing or ghosting. It also has HDR10 built-in, which improves contrast by producing deeper levels of blacks and whites.
According to reviewers on Amazon, it’s a stellar monitor for the price, with an intuitive menu and sturdy stand. And did we mention it’s just $99? Insane. Don’t miss out!
