There are two things I absolutely need for my PC’s monitors: a decently fast refresh rate for gaming, and an IPS panel for color accuracy when I’m working in Photoshop.
The Dell G2724D has both, which is why it’s a PCWorld Editors’ Choice. Already a good deal at $300, today you can get it for an unbeatable $162 on Dell.com with the coupon code SAVE10.
The Dell G2724D uses a 27-inch color-accurate IPS panel, and its resolution is upgraded to 2560×1440, giving you a noticeable boost over 1080p monitors. It’s also rocking a zippy 165Hz refresh rate and 1-millisecond response time, making it great for intense action multiplayer games where every frame counts.
It’s a little light on extras with just one HDMI and two DisplayPort inputs, but at this price, that’s more than enough connectivity. It also has a standard VESA mount on the back for monitor arms, so it makes a great add-on for a multi-monitor desktop setup.

Dell is selling the monitor for $179.99 at the moment. But as a SlickDeals poster found out, you can get an extra 10 percent off that price AND get free shipping (at least that’s what it’s showing with my ZIP code) using the coupon code SAVE10 at checkout. That brings your total to $161.99 before sales tax, a steal in anybody’s money. Especially American dollars. Which is the money you’ll need to use.
