KTC's mini-LED 1440p gaming monitor drops to $260

[EmeraldBusker]

A highly rated budget monitor has hit its lowest price. PC Gamer reports that the KTC M27T6S, a 27 inch 1440p mini LED IPS monitor, is down to $259.99 at Best Buy, from $349.99

It runs at 200Hz with a 1ms response time. PC Gamer calls it the best mini LED 1440p gaming monitor it has tried and says this is the lowest price it has seen

Elsewhere it costs $300 plus shipping from KTC directly, or $289.99 at Newegg with a code. The Best Buy deal is a clear $90 saving

The review did note some light bleed and glow in dark scenes, and the best HDR is only available in HDR mode. The build is plastic and there is no USB hub

Mini LED used to be reserved for expensive monitors, so seeing it at this price is great for gamers on a budget. HDR on a monitor this cheap will not match high end panels, but it should be a big step up from basic IPS screens. It is worth grabbing if you have been waiting for a 1440p upgrade

Would you buy a budget mini LED monitor? And is 1440p the sweet spot for PC gaming now?

Missing a USB hub is a minor loss. Most people plug things into the PC anyway. Plastic build is expected at this price. Picture quality matters more

KTC is not a famous name, but their monitors keep getting good reviews. Smaller brands often offer better value. You pay less for the logo. Worth considering
