Dell's Black Friday deals have begun, and one nicety is that 5% off codes still work to knock a little extra off of their asking prices. Today we're looking at a 27-inch monitor that hits the current price/performance sweet spot of 1440p and 165Hz, the Dell S2722DGM. It's available for £175 when you use code TELEGRAPH5MON, with discounts to £165 possible if you're a part of the NHS.

This model features a curved VA panel that offers excellent contrast and minimises the usual viewing angle limitations intrinsic to this panel type. The deep blacks and good brightness result in a panel that excels in dark rooms, as you get a presentation that is nearly true black rather than more of a gray as you often get on TN or IPS monitors. However, pixel response times are lower than these alternative panel types, making this not as good of a choice for the most competitive esports-adjacent players. That's not an issue for single-player content though, and the 165Hz refresh rate still delivers a smooth experience. A great value for £176!
