Get a 27-inch IPS gaming monitor for just $176 with this deal

Gigabyte is starting to look like the go-to brand when it comes to affordable gaming monitors. The company’s 34-inch ultrawide is already a smash hit for gamers on a budget, and today you can get a 27-inch variant with an even better IPS panel for just $176 at Newegg — if you’re willing to jump through one or two hoops.

Newegg is plainly offering the G27Q monitor for $200 (which is $50 off retail price), and that’s a darn good deal for a regular 27-inch monitor with an upgraded 2560×1440 resolution plus an IPS panel (which is sought after for its superior color accuracy versus cheaper VA panels).

But throw in a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time and you have the makings of a great gaming monitor — the perfect pick if you’re working from home on a gaming PC or laptop.

The monitor also comes with a couple of USB ports for extra gadgets, plus some integrated speakers that I hope you never have to use. You can mount it with a standard VESA monitor arm, too.

Now, here’s how to snag the extra savings according to the deal hunters at Slickdeals: apply the ZIP2SCHOOL coupon code at checkout and use the Zip payment processor to take $24 more off the sale price and bring the final price all the way down to $176 before taxes:

If you aren’t familiar with Zip, it’s a company that lets you pay for a purchase in installments, similar to Affirm and Klarna. You don’t have to set up a payment plan for this deal if you don’t want to — you can just use Zip as the payment processor, like PayPal.

But if you’d rather not deal with the headache of making a Zip account, know that $200 for this monitor is still a pretty good deal.
