The HP Days sales event is in full swing and it promises exceptional gaming monitor deals of which could easily be contenders for the best gaming monitors around, especially at these kinds of prices. 

If you've been devoted to 1080p when utilizing one of the best graphics cards to hit those higher frame rates, it's time to break through the constrictions of Full HD for double the detail (and potentially twice the speed) from under $300 with these stellar gaming monitor deals. 

Take the HP X27i gaming monitor at just $299 (was $380), for instance, with its stellar image quality paired with the 144hz refresh rate, which is sure to be fast enough for the majority of PC gamers.

With that said, if you're interested in making use of every single millisecond available to you when you're gaming competitively, then the HP Omen X 27 provides both the speed (240Hz) and the spectacle with its 1440p panel. This monitor has just dropped down to $509.99 (was $650) at HP - a massive $140 discount.

It's unlikely to be classed as a cheap gaming monitor, even when discounted, but we've seen Full HD gaming displays with this refresh rate retail for far higher in the past, so now is a great time to buy.
