This early 4th of July monitor deal is one of the best we've seen this entire year. Seriously, if you've been eyeing up a fast, speedy, quality 1080p gaming monitor then head over to Best Buy right now as you can pick up the Acer Predator XB253QGX for its lowest ever price of just $249.99 (was $379.99).

This is a massive discount of $130 and gets you one of the best gaming monitors you can buy from one of the best-known gaming brands out there. The lowest this has previously been, as far as we can tell, is $278.99 back in the summer of last year, and the lowest it's been this year, the year 2022 AD, is a still-sizeable $299.99 so you're getting incredible value for money here just in that context, let alone it actually being a record low.

And for quick information, this monitor is so good because it nails the 1080p gaming spot for those who value speed above else. The 25-inch Full HD 1080p panel features a 240Hz refresh rate, a 0.5 second MPRT response time, and a solid (if unspectacular, DisplayHDR 400 rating. 

If you play games like Call of Duty Warzone, Apex Legends, and other time-sensitive games - even with friends and not competitively - then this early 4th of July monitor deal is absolutely worth your time, consideration, and investment. You can read a full breakdown of what makes the monitor so awesome in our Acer Predator XB253QGX review.
