If you're a gearhead with a twitch stream, here's why this is an outstanding deal that you simply can't ignore
by Khris Bharath on July 8, 2024, 14:37Let’s be honest, most "gaming" peripherals these days, are about as subtle as a neon pink Lambo rolling through a retirement community. But the AOC AGON Pro PD27S isn’t here to play those gaudy games. This 27-inch monitor boasts a QHD resolution, a silky smooth 170Hz refresh rate, and enough visual fidelity to make your in-game enemies weep. Oh, and it’s designed by Porsche. Yeah, that Porsche. Now Porsche isn’t a brand that you often associate with affordable, but for the next 10 hours, this gaming monitor represents just that, exceptional value. Here’s why.
Porsche Design At An Unbelivable Steal
Think about it. You wouldn’t settle for a Kia on the race track, would you now? No, you’d probably be behind the wheel of a sleek, German machine like the 911. A monitor styled by the Porsche design, the PD27S captures that same spirit, with cues influenced by the iconic sports car. The whole thing sits on a sleek aluminum stand inspired by a Porsche steering wheel, because why wouldn’t it?
But don’t be fooled by the fancy looks, this monitor packs a punch. We’re talking a QHD resolution (2560 x 1440), a buttery smooth 170Hz refresh rate (overclocked), and a 1ms response time – all the ingredients for competition-level visuals. Plus, with DisplayHDR 400 certification and 95% DCI-P3 color coverage, those in-game explosions will look positively apocalyptic (in the best way possible). And because comfort is key during marathon gaming sessions, the PD27S boasts a fully adjustable stand that swivels, tilts, and even adjusts in height. Let’s face it, eye strain is the enemy of peak performance.
Here’s the kicker: For the next 10 hours only, you can snag this slice of German design for a mere $180 on B&H. That’s right, $180. This monitor typically retails for $425 on Porsche Design’s website. So that’s a pretty substantial saving and is a price tag that makes our internal deal-detecting radar go absolutely haywire. Look, if you take your competitive gaming seriously, or just appreciate the high-quality monolithic aesthetic, that this Porsche Design gaming monitor offers, this is a steal you simply can’t afford to miss.
