Devices for players from 150 euros

There’s not much time left until Christmas – it’s just over 14 days away. We’ve looked through some hardware categories and selected several gift suggestions for gamers – whether you’re a gamer making a wish list or want to give a gift to a gamer. Today it is about gifts worth more than 150 eurosNext week there will be part 2 with gifts under 150 euros.

Some categories will appear in both special offers – for example, for SSD drives, keyboards, cases or even joysticks, there are recommended products under 150 euros or more. By the way, we choose the products completely independently from an editorial perspective, but for each product we link to at least one of our partner stores with a relatively cheap offer.

Important: As stores often quickly adjust and change their prices, it may happen that the prices we quote no longer correspond to the real prices – our prices reflect the situation as of Friday, December 8, at 12 noon. Of course, you can search for alternatives from our partners or other shops.

So that you can better orient yourself towards a potential alternative, we’ve added some short general buying tips for some device categories. In today’s special, we’re starting with the Monitors category.

Gift idea: gaming monitor

In general, the question that arises when it comes to the monitor is what display diagonal and resolution do you need. 27 inches and WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) is currently a good recommendation as standard. We only recommend 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) to a limited extent, as this requires a very powerful PC.

Widescreen displays are also interesting and an advantage for many games because you can see more of the field of view or playing field. 34-inch monitors with a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels are a tip here – there is a huge selection.

We recommend a high refresh rate of 120Hz or more as well as Adaptive Sync technology, where the display adapts to the PC’s FPS values ​​and avoids unsightly tearing. We chose four monitors as examples, two of them 27-inch 16:9 and one 34-inch in UWQHD format.

Although there are WQHD gaming monitors in 27-inch format starting at around 150 euros, we choose slightly higher quality models and call them first Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQavailable on Amazon for 294 euros exactly like Caseking for 299 euros There, Caseking is participating in an Asus promotion through which you will receive a cashback of €30 for the monitor or €40 from Gamesplanet.

You get the second 27-inch suggestion Also in Caseking for €325: the LG Ultra Gear 27GP850P-B. Both displays have a 165Hz IPS panel (LG can be overclocked to 180Hz), offer Adaptive Sync and AMD Freesync, are compatible with Nvidia G-Sync, and are height-adjustable.

We have this from our 34-inch ultra-wide range Samsung Odyssey G5 G55T I picked it up on Amazon And alternative For about 359 euros too Kissing And Laptops are cheaper For 369 euros.

The VA display has a refresh rate of 165Hz, and it offers AMD Freesync and Adaptive Sync, so Nvidia graphics cards should also be working in sync mode. However, the screen lacks height adjustment, unlike our second tip BenQ Mobiuse EX3410R, which also offers a 144Hz VA panel with Adaptive Sync and Freesync. You can get the screen from Amazon And Laptops are cheaper For 429 euros.
