Update: It looks like this deal is out of stock now.

Original story: It wasn't that long ago that any 144Hz gaming monitor was mega money. But here we are on gaming monitor. Often you sacrifice resolution for refresh or response rate, especially if you step up to an IPS , but this hits that sweet middle-ground.

Samsung CJG50 | 27-inch | 144Hz | 1440p | VA | £199 (save £110)

Listed as the Samsung LC27JG50QQUXEN on Amazon, this is a recent 2018 model with super specs and a fab VA . A significant step up on the usual TN fare. 144Hz refresh and 1440p res is a great combo.

Additional highlights include the 1800R curvature, 4ms response times and some nifty Samsung styling. But it's that VA that really does the business. Along with the 144Hz refresh and 1440p native resolution, it also offers a static contrast ratio of 3000:1. that's far higher than you'll get with any TN or IPS monitor. It may not be officially HDR, but it will be punchier than a lot of low end IPS-based HDR s.

Don't forget, you'll need an Amazon Prime to take advantage of this offer.
