I love a good "bang for your buck" deal when it comes to computer monitors, and today's price drop fits that moniker. The Samsung CRG5 24-inch curved monitor has dropped to just $169.99 through Amazon. Considering this monitor was selling for as much as $280 at the beginning of April, today's sale is quite a nice one. The more common street price for this monitor is closer to $200, but that's still a nice $30 discount off its regular price. Plus you can find this deal at a couple of other retailers, too, like Best Buy. Grab it while you can because most price drops on this monitor don't last very long.

The Samsung CRG5 is a fantastic screen with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and a 4ms response time. It also has an 1800R curve, which is important for immersion whether you're binge watching your favorite shows or playing a modern shooter. The curve keeps your focus on the screen. And that huge refresh rate won't hurt either when it comes to playing video games.

The monitor has some other great features for games, too. The built-in Game Mode lets you adjust gamma levels, contrast, sharpness, and other settings so every game you play looks outstanding. The AMD Radeon FreeSync technology works with your AMD graphics card to eliminate screen tearing and adapt to your game. Get rid of stutter and visual artifacts even while you're rushing around the map.
