This 4K gaming monitor with the same coating as your phone is down to a record low price, and I've never used a display quite like it

Prior to trying out the Dough Spectrum One, I wasn't quite sure why you'd add Gorilla Glass to a 4K gaming monitor. In my mind, opting for the same material used to make your phone display wouldn't really add much, but it tu🦩rns it's an excellent way to give your visuals a glossy glow u🍷p. So, when I spotted it for $250 less than usual, I knew it was worth shouting about this Black Friday.

If you take a digital wander over to Amazon, you'll find the Dough Spectrum One 27-inch with Gorilla Glass for . At full price, you'll have to fork out $799 for the premium panel, so it's safe to say this is a delicious 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Friday gaming monitor deal. Previous discounts have only managed 🎶to take it to the $600 mark, but this is why we wait for big sales to grab new screens, isn't it?

I'm going to get into why the Gorilla Glass version specifically is a strong 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best gaming monitor contender, but there are alternative offeꦅrs if that's not your jam. If you'd rat🦩her stick with an ordinary glossy coating, the original Spectrum One is also down from $699.99, and it comes with most of the same bells and whistles.

I've tested plenty of 4K 144Hz monitors throughout the years, but the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dough Spectrum One adds something special into the ওmix. Again, I wouldn't have ever thought using Gorilla Glass would do much in terms of fidelity, but the glossy coating provides the UHD pa𓄧nel with even more of a punch than its rivals.

The game I'd pic𓆉k to best explain the Spectrum One's enhanced Gorilla Glass visuals has to be Baldur's Gate 3, as switching from a regular IPS display to Dough's panel was a sight to behold. The first thing I picked up on was that the RPG's vast amount of text and icons popped, producing a similar effect to reading a physical D&D handbook.

Colors and contrast are also enhanced thanks to the Gorilla Glass screen too, and there's honestly not much of a gap between the IPS version and the newer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dough Spectrum Black OLED model. The latter display still has an edge, so it is worth picking up while its also down if you're aiming for OLED specifically. Would I personally pay the extra having tried both? Perhaps not with the current 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Friday 4K monitor deal on the table.

Fidelity aside, the Spectrum One is offers up respectable 144Hz panel speeds too, making it a nice choice for some casual shooter shenanigans. Now that 4K 240Hz screens are becoming a norm, there are screens like the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:LG UltraGear LG UltraGear ﷽32GS95UE-B that'll benefit FPS game fans that tiny bit🔥 more. That screen can even switch to 1080p 480Hz if you're aiming for competitive performance, but you'll naturally pay more for such super powers.

Those of you with a handheld have something to gain from the Spectrum One too, as it effectively has a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck dock built in thanks to its 100W USB-C hub. Little extras like that serve as a nice high-spec cherry on top, as I've used excellent panels like the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 that skip out on additional features.

One of the only things that really irritates me about Dough monitors is that they don't come with a stand. The company claims this provides players with a choice by not forcing you to pay for a pedestal if you're using a monitor arm anyway. But, as someone who likes to pop screens on my 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gaming desk, it's a pain in the butt, even if there are bundles with it included (Best Buy has the OG matte version all in). Alternatively, there's ⛎also VESA compatible options for , which fee🏅ls like a nice cheap workaround.

While there are cheaper 4K monitors out there this Black Friday, I would recommend the Dough Spectrum One to players looking for visuals that pop. Its current discount places it in the same ballpark as many other premium monitors with the same panel specs, and now that the ran♛ge is available at major retailers, you'll want to consider the brand alongside some of the big names out there.

Searching for bigger screens? Swing by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Friday TV deals and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Friday 75-inch TV deals for extra-large display discounts. Alternatively, take a peek at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Friday curved monitor deals if you want desktop immersion.
