Shopping for a good gaming monitor but want to keep your budget under $100? On a normal day I would say that’s not possible, but not during Amazon’s Spring Sale. For a limited time, Amazon is offering the 27″ KTC H27S5C 144Hz Gaming Monitor for just $83.29 after free shipping after coupon code “9R92ZRHC”. This monitor has plenty of gaming features you wouldn’t expect at this incredibly low price point. You better hurry though, because the code has limited redemptions.
27″ KTC QHD 144Hz Gaming Monitor for $83
27″ KTC H27S5C 2560×1440 (QHD) Curved 144Hz Gaming Monitor

First off, the KTC H27S5C is a 27″ curved monitor featuring a 2560×1440 (QHD) resolution. Nearly every other monitor within this price range has a lower 1080p resolution. A 27″ 1440p monitor averages out to a pixel density of 109ppi, which is great for both gaming and general workstation use where you need to look at a lot of text. In addition to that, the monitor features a 144Hz refresh rate. Again, you’d be lucky to find a sub-$100 monitor with higher than 60Hz, maybe 100Hz-120Hz if you score a good deal. The VA panel has 129% sRGB and 110% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage for accurate color reproduction. Connectivity options include DisplayPort and HDMI.
If you’re considering a budget monitor, chances are you’re not pairing it with a super high-end graphics card. If that’s the case, you definitely don’t want to get a 4K monitor because it will overly tax your PC. A 1440p monitor is much less demanding on your GPU. It can be paired with a gaming PC that’s equipped with an RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) or AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (16GB) to still achieve a consistent 60fps-144fps frame rate in most games.
Competitive FPS Gamers Might Want to Consider This Monitor
27″ KTC H27F7 1080p 240Hz IPS Gaming Monitor

The KTC H27F7 is another 27″ monitor that’s on sale. This particular model has a native 1920×1080 resolution but the refresh rate has been bumped up to 240Hz. This is the ideal setup for a competive FPS gamer who wants as many frames as possible to accomodate the fast, twitch-style gameplay. The lower resolution is ideal, too, because that means you can get away with a less expensive graphics card and still achieve the 240fps target.
