I've gotten used to the clear desks and superior ergonomics that monitor arms provide, and it's well worth experiencing if you haven't tried it. Therefore, I recommend picking up a cheap monitor arm if your desk allows for it, as this will make it much easier to place the monitor at a comfortable position and make it look better too. The X= monitor's stand is made of metal, which is nice, but doesn't offer much adjustability - like height adjustment or a portrait orientation swivel. There's FreeSync and G-Sync support provided too, ensuring you have access to VRR on Nvidia and AMD graphics cards. Outside of fast-paced games though, performance should be excellent - I noted accurate colours, wide viewing angles, reasonable brightness (350 nits) and OK contrast (1000:1) in my testing. 5ms isn't bad, but motion clarity won't be as crisp. The only noticeable sacrifice you're making here against one of these higher-tier options is in pixel response times with a 5ms GtG rated response time, you'll get a bit more ghosting with fast-moving content. I've actually tested this monitor for Eurogamer, and named it the ' best cheap 1440p gaming monitor' - as it delivers a pretty good experience while costing less than the Fast IPS panel monitors we recommend as the more options in this category.

It's still rare to see a good example closer to £200 though, and that's exactly what we've got today: a 27-inch model from system integrators AWD-IT, the X= XRGB27WQ, available for £210 after a £70 discount.

1440p 144Hz monitors have been the most popular category for PC gamers for a little while now, offering a good blend of detail and responsiveness, and over time we've seen what was once a £500+ spec drift down to below £300.
