The 45" Legion gaming monitor from @Lenovo has arrived! First time playing on a super ultrawide.

What game should I play first on this?

Amazon monitor deals appear to be dropping a day early! If you are looking to splurge on a top-tier monitor this season that is great for both gaming and creative work, this is a big price drop!

In the market for a new gaming monitor? Labor Day is a fantastic day to snag a great deal.

Here are some of our favorites 👇

🖥️ Best 1440p Deal:
https://t.co/NPnarf8cTF
This 27" QHD monitor from Acer is perfect for both PC gamers and console players who value the best bang for their buck. The monitor uses an IPS panel, features 170Hz refresh rate and has a whopping 0.5ms response time. Both Xbox & PS5 players will be able to enjoy smooth 1440p gameplay with 120 fps (or up to 170 fps for PC players) and have enough money left over for a nice headset.

🖥️Best OLED Deal:
https://t.co/qqOw1KTUCR
They say once you go OLED you can't go back. This is the cheapest we've seen this 27" OLED monitor from Corsair and while it's more expensive that your typical IPS monitor, it's on the cheaper end of OLED displays with this deal. The 1440p display also supports HDMI 2.1 which means PS5 users can use this monitor and get that smooth VRR.

🖥️Best 4K Console Deal:
https://t.co/fHrnNbbFrq
The Acer XV282K is the cheapest 4K gaming monitor that supports HDMI 2.1 on the market right now and it's Black Friday level pricing. Unless you've got a powerhouse gaming PC, the best buyer for this monitor is either players who are set on 4K gaming, or those PS5/Xbox players who really want to take full advantage of what their console offers.

🖥️Best Deal For Budget Gamers:
https://t.co/GQWVg3iXT3
Is the wallet a bit tight but you're sick of gaming on a standard 1080p 60Hz display? This bad boy from MSI is currently 33% off right now and will get you a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time which is plenty fast & smooth for gamers who are on a budget but still want to be competitive in their gameplay.

@AdmFN_ And I should clarify if you didn't already know, HDMI 2.1 has VRR support baked in.

[Tech Audit TV @techaudittv]

@AdmFN_ On this page scroll just halfway and you'll see a "4K Monitors" section:

https://t.co/937XUczd9t

That section automatically finds the cheapest monitors on the web that are for gaming AND have HDMI 2.1

Some great deals right now!

[Tech Audit TV @techaudittv]

@dajoekersole The Acer XV282K is only sale right now and it's the cheapest 4K gaming monitor you can get right now that has HDMI 2.1

@DCampion_ An ultrawide in the middle for a corner desk like that would look pretty darn good 😎

Starting with today's video I'm putting my money where my mouth is:

All videos will be recorded entirely on my smartphone (Pixel 6 Pro).

You don't need anything more than what's in your pocket to create great looking videos.

New vid just dropped!

Some gamers wear a platform badge as if it's their core identity, endlessly criticizing the 'other side' based on (very often) outdated knowledge.

Will the PC vs PS5/Xbox war ever end?

[Tech Audit TV @techaudittv]

@itsbreeazyy Back when selecting a weapon wasn't a part-time job 😞

[Tech Audit TV @techaudittv]

@LeotheLion25 @3DShiro Do you want the HDMI 2.1 primarily for the VRR support?

Just saw the LG Ultragear OLED is on sale right now (normally $1K): https://t.co/QDy1nQi0S7

Gets you those specs + OLED (but like all OLED, at a cost)

[Tech Audit TV @techaudittv]

Which aspect ratio is your favorite?

➡️ Widescreen
➡️ Ultrawide
➡️ Super Ultrawide

[Tech Audit TV @techaudittv]

@xSLAYZx1 3 monitors in a heartbeat! Bonus points in the middle monitor is an ultrawide.

[Tech Audit TV @techaudittv]

This company is charging $0 for their TV 🤯

P.S. I for some reason pronounced @itsfreetelly as "Tally" while recording and I still don't know why 🤦‍♂️
