Save over £140 on Asus’ finest ultrawide and 1440p gaming screens

13.07.2020

Asus have shaved over £140 off a few of their best gaming monitors within the UK in the mean time, making it a great time to choose up one in every of their RGB-laden gaming screens. Indeed, there are 4 such gaming screens on sale at varied retailers in the mean time, with two ultrawide mega screens and two of their 165Hz, 2560×1440 shows discounted to a few of their lowest costs ever. The most cost-effective one will be had for as little as £319, too, which is actually fairly the discount after months of inventory shortages and inflated costs.

Admittedly, the now £319 Asus TUF Gaming VG27WQ would have solely set you again one other ten to twenty-odd quid a few weeks in the past, however that is nonetheless a stonking value for the sort of monitor you’re getting – a curved, 2560×1440 Freesync show with a 165Hz refresh fee that may additionally do some little bit of HDR due to its VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. Alas, it hasn’t but been licensed as one in every of Nvidia’s official G-Sync Compatible monitors, nevertheless it’s nonetheless a really attractive supply regardless. Indeed, I’d a lot somewhat purchase one in every of these than spend £300 on the AOC C27G2ZU, for instance, as whereas the AOC bumps up its refresh fee to 240Hz, it nonetheless solely has a decision of 1920×1080, which isn’t splendid if you happen to additionally use your PC for work.

Alternatively, if you wish to play it protected and get a full-fat G-Sync show, then the Asus ROG Swift PG279QE can also be on sale for £520 in the mean time, down from its earlier value of £610, in accordance with my Amazon value tracker. This is one other 2560×1440 show with a 165Hz decision, however this one is flat and comes with correct Nvidia G-Sync help. Alas, you don’t get any HDR help right here, however that is nonetheless the bottom value this explicit monitor has ever been (at the very least on Amazon), making it a great time to choose it up if you happen to’ve been eyeing it up.

For these after an ultrawide monitor on a budget, you’ve obtained two choices. The first is the Asus TUF Gaming VG35VQ, a curved, 35in show with a 3440×1440 decision and a 100Hz refresh fee, plus HDR10 help. Alas, this isn’t an formally licensed G-Sync Compatible show both, however given what number of Asus screens which have handed Nvidia’s varied exams, I’d be stunned if this didn’t work completely high-quality with Nvidia graphics playing cards. Down from its current value of £575 to £520, that is additionally the most cost effective this explicit monitor has ever been, in accordance with my Amazon value tracker, even beating it pre-Black Friday value of £545.

Finally, if you happen to actually wish to go all out on what ultrawide gaming screens have to supply, then look no additional than the Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ, their G-Sync Ultimate, 200Hz mega display screen. Previously £2375 within the UK, that is now right down to £2233, saving you £142. This is successfully Asus’ reply to AOC’s Agon AG353UCG, which I known as “the absolute cream of the crop when it comes to ultrawide gaming monitors” in my overview due to its high of the road DisplayHDR 1000 help and excessive 200Hz refresh fee.

The AOC remains to be fairly a bit cheaper than its Asus rival, going for a nonetheless eye-watering £1890 at time of writing, however the Asus provides in a bunch of additional RGB lights to its stand and the rear of the monitor to make it even fancier, if that’s your form of factor.

I must also level out that these offers can be found at different retailers, together with Ebuyer, Scan, Overclockers UK, CCL, Box and Laptops Direct, however I’ve listed the Amazon costs above as my value tracker tells me they’ve steadily been getting cheaper than their official sale costs over the past couple of weeks, so there might but be additional, if very minor, reductions in comparison with elsewhere on the web.
