If you're shopping for a monitor and price is your number one priority, then have I found a deal for you. Woot!, which is owned by Amazon, is currently offering a new 24" KTC gaming monitor for just $50.32. Amazon Prime members get free shipping, the rest of us pay $6. The same monitor currently sells for $69.99 from Amazon.
27" KTC 1080p 100Hz Gaming Monitor for $50.32
The 24" KTC monitor boasts a 1090x1080 FHD native resolution, which equates to a respectable pixel density of 92ppi. You'd think a monitor this cheap would have the most basic of specs, but that actually isn't true. This monitor boasts a max refresh rate of 100Hz and is G-Sync compatible. It uses a VA panel with a 5ms response time, 104% sRGB color gamut, and 178° wide viewing angle. Both HDMI 1.4 and VGA ports are available.These are new units with 90-day Woot! warranty.
If you're considering this monitor, chances are you're pairing it with a budget gaming PC setup. If so, you do not want an expensive monitor with 4K resolution that will overly tax your PC. G-Sync technology, however, is especially useful for these budget builds, since your fps is more likely to fluctuate than higher-end builds and adaptive sync helps provide a smoother and tear-free experience. This is a good monitor to pair with a gaming PC equipped with a GeForce RTX 4060/5060, RTX 4070/5070, Radeon RX 9070 GPU, or as an external monitor for your laptop.
