Dell S2722DGM

In case you don’t mind the usual VA panel weaknesses (smearing and unstable VRR performance), the Dell S2722DGM is an excellent budget gaming monitor at $200. It offers a high contrast ratio for deep blacks, vivid colors, crisp details and a height-adjustable stand.

The Dell S2722DGM is a good gaming monitor. It has an okay response time at the max refresh rate, fantastic low input lag, and supports AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) technology for a nearly tear-free gaming experience. There's an optional black frame insertion feature that can clear up motion blur, but you can't use it at the same time as VRR. Unfortunately, like most monitors with VA panels, there's noticeable motion smearing in dark scenes.

Though it leaves out HDR and extended color, the Dell S2722DGM delivers superb gaming performance for less than $300. With Adaptive-Sync, 165 Hz, a solid overdrive and usable blur reduction, it rocks full-motion gaming without breaking the bank.
