Deals on gaming monitors come in at full price far too often, and to underscore this point, check out the discount on the Aorus CV27F, a 27" "frameless" gaming display with a curvature of 1500R.

Newegg has it marked down to $299.99, which is nothing special (it's not normally on sale at the regular price of $349.99). However, applying coupon code "AFMCF27F" at checkout saves $50, making it a notable bargain. And if you are willing to go through the hassle of a mail-in rebate, you can get an additional $50 cash back (in the form of a prepaid card), bringing the total cost down to $199.99. If you need a mail-in rebate, this way you can offer an attractive discount up front and treat the rebate as an added bonus.

The CV27F has a VA panel with a 1920x1080 resolution, a 165 Hz refresh rate, and a 1 ms response time (MPRT), making it built for quick action gaming. It also boasts a wide color gamut of 90% of the DCI-P3 color space, according to the specs, a clear advantage over cheaper TN panels.

Additionally, this is a FreeSync Premium Pro monitor; AMD recently simplified its FreeSync branding into three tiers, with FreeSync Premium Pro being the highest (officially known as FreeSync 2 HDR). [As part of its certification, the CV27F supports HDR content. Brightness is 400 nits, so don't expect the kind of pop that a 1,000-nit monitor offers. Still, there is HDR support.

Besides, Aorus (Gigabyte's gaming brand) backs the monitors for three years, including a zero-luminance pixel policy for the first year of ownership.
