Want to play games at a very high refresh rate on a modest budget? That used to be impossible, but a rapid decline in pricing has led to new, affordable options like the Dell G2723H.

Display size: 27-inch
Native resolution: 1,920×1,080
Panel type: IPS
Refresh rate: 280Hz
HDR: No
Ports: 2× HDMI 2.0, 1× DisplayPort 1.4, headphones-out, 4× USB-A 3.2 Gen 1
Stand adjustment: Height, tilt, swivel,pivot
VESA mount: 100mm×100mm
Speakers: None
Price: $489.99 ($369.99 typical)
At this price, however, the lack of extras is easier to forgive. Monitors with a refresh rate this high were selling for $500 or more a few years ago.
