We're back with some more cheap monitor deals and gaming PC sales from Newegg. I've highlighted a fair few of Newegg's recent deals for their quality and offerings - it's basically a shame that some of them only last a day! However, all the deals highlighted in today's daily Shell Shocker offers are live for most of the weekend - be sure to double-check below.
- Save $150 on a great ASUS gaming monitor (with code EMCDKDG42)
- Save $50 on an excellent 1440p Acer monitor
- Save $200 on a powerful gaming PC (with code EMCDKDG39)
First up are two cheap monitor deals that are the perfect way to boost your gaming or work setup without too much intrusion - and you get an immediately excellent, bright, shiny new portal into games (and spreadsheets, etc).
And so here we are. The pick of the bunch today is a high-quality ASUS ROG model, the PG248Q. It is a 24-inch, full HD, IPS, 240Hz screen that you can get a massive $150 off of today by using the code 'EMCDKDG42'. This code will take the price down to an excellent $299.99. This deal ends on Saturday at midnight (PT).
The second offer is a solid 20% off an Acer gaming monitor. The Acer V277U is a larger, 27-inch monitor so it will offer a more roomy display, and it's also in the gaming sweet spot of 1440p which is a tremendous resolution for displaying anything. It's not the paciest of gaming monitors for really fast shooters but the resolution combined with its FreeSync tech, and exquisite IPS panel make it brilliant for games generally. It has $50 off its price until the end of Sunday, bring its price down to $199.99.
Given the general price trends of gaming gear right now - a broadly downward trajectory as time passes - and their high quality, gaming monitors are great for everything other than games too, be it everyday use, creative use, or work. This is because the best gaming monitors have to produce excellent, sharp picture quality, great contrasts, and exquisite colors from the deepest blacks to the brightest whites. As a result, they are excellent monitors for everything - especially when you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get a good one, or one from a reputable manufacturer.
