Found some crazy deals on Intel Arc a750s! Literally $170 for a brand-new GPU...

$170!- Acer Bifrost a750:  https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1779487-REG/acer_dp_z35ww_p01_predator_bifrost_arc_a750.html 

$180- Intel Limited Edition a750:  https://amzn.to/3N3QAC3 

I show these deals on the Arc cards because the prices are insane, however, Arc still isn't for everyone. It is hard to recommend it if it would be your ONLY GPU just in case something doesn't end up working right. I will say, 95% of the time everything is great and they are even great for productivity work as well, but that % still isn't enough to say with full confidence. Also to note that Intel is still rapidly improve their graphics cards and they have come a LONG way.

So here is an AMD rx 6600 if you don't want to take the chance with Intel and still wanna be in that ~$180 price point. The 6600 tends to be a little slower than the a750 when the Arc card is working properly, but that could be the compromise you should make.

$190- PowerColor RX 6600:  https://amzn.to/3N9wCpw

== 1440p Monitor Deals ARE INSANE! Some High Refresh-Rate are UNDER $200! Here are some I found! ==

$230- LG 32" 1440p 165Hz Freesync Monitor  (32GN650-B):  https://amzn.to/41bmN0d 
^^ Cyber Monday Deal

$270-  LG 32" 1440p 165Hz Gsync Monitor (32GP750-B):  https://amzn.to/3GiwD6y 
^^ This is the monitor I own and really enjoy. Specs-wise it is about the same as the one above, but it does have better color performance at 99% sRGB vs 95% on the other. As well, it is GSYNC-certified, which may matter to you, however Freesync usually still works great even on an Nvidia GPU.

Although, many might not like the 32" size for 1440p, but it seems plenty sharp enough for me and the size makes it really immersive. I understand that though, so here are some sharper and cheaper 27" monitors to also check out!

$175- Sceptre 27" 1440p 165Hz Freesync Monitor (E275B-QPD168):  https://amzn.to/3uxKuDA 
^^ Cyber Monday Deal. I have not personally experienced this monitor, but from what I've seen online it looks solid with 100% sRGB coverage. Also, 1440p high refresh-rate is incredible at under $200. I'm blown away!

$190- HP Omen 27" 1440p 165Hz Freesync Monitor (27q):  https://amzn.to/46wSt0Z 
^^ Cyber Monday Deal. Daniel Owen also showed this one off. Looks great and is mostly the same story as the Sceptre above. (I also appreciate the MUCH shorter monitor model name)

$215- Asus TUF 27" 1440p 165Hz Freesync Monitor (VG27WQ1B):  https://amzn.to/47KknHI 
^^ Cyber Monday Deal. This Asus monitor is a little more expensive, but I figured I'd include it because my friend has this one and I like the way it looks. Although, there isn't really anything necessarily better than the other two 27" monitors here.


Hopefully this can help y'all if your in the search for a 1440p high refresh-rate monitor. It is wild how cheap these things are getting, especially being IPS they have at least decent color performance for most things and very good viewing angles.

YOU SHOULD KNOW! All these advertise HDR, but NONE of these monitors will actually support HDR in a way that matters. They do not have the ability to control the brightness in small areas of the screen so don't get one of these if you are looking for HDR. Unfortunately, you will have to pay A LOT more for an OLED monitor or Mini-LED.

Also, all of these Amazon links are affiliated, which means I earn a commission at NO additional cost if you choose to go through these links. I would appreciate if you use them :). It goes to support me and the channel and thank you!

I personally am gonna be picking up another one of the 32" LG GSYNC monitors to match my main one. I'm a little bit of a nerd over the color accuracy so the 99% sRGB is important and it comes factory calibrated pretty well out of the box. It is a shame that I bought this monitor a little under 2 years ago for about $500, now it's like $270 😞. Is what it is, glad things are becoming SO much more affordable though.
