I love finding solid deals on budget gaming gear. The Samsung UJ59 delivers as a great 4K monitor option for your gaming rig and consoles. It has had $130 slashed off its list price, down from $339.99 to $209. Just those facts alone make this an awesome deal, but is it a replacement for your existing monitor setup? It won't touch a premium gaming monitor, but it's a rock-hard starting point. Looking for something that performs well at 4K resolutions for a very reasonable price? Read on.

Despite its conservative appearance and thin bezels with a lack of RGB, the 4K 60Hz panel does the job. 4K means four times the resolution of full HD, which is detailed enough for demanding games, editing photos, and watching 4K content from 4K Blu-rays and top-tier streaming services. Over a billion shades of color are packed into this bad boy. Who can argue with a sub-$210 monitor with specs like those?

Gamers note that this monitor is equipped with AMD FreeSync, which reduces image tearing and stuttering by synchronizing the refresh rate with your graphics card. Its Low Input Lag Mode minimizes delay. Game Mode optimizes contrast in darker scenes, giving you the edge in fast-paced gameplay. With 8.3 million pixels on a widescreen 4K display, it's a dream for immersive gaming experiences.

Are you running an AMD graphics card? Samsung UJ59 has AMD Freesync built in, too. This ensures your graphics card outputs the same refresh rate as your monitor to eliminate screen tearing, so no dollar-store Tetris effects ruin gameplay. There's also a low input lag mode, minimizing controller or keyboard and mouse delays from a button press to the action appearing on-screen.

Multitaskers will love the Picture-by-Picture (PBP) mode, which lets you connect two devices simultaneously while maintaining their original quality. The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) mode allows resizing and repositioning of a secondary source, making it perfect for those needing to reference multiple inputs simultaneously.

Samsung's UHD upscaling technology further sweetens the deal, enhancing SD, HD, and Full HD content to near 4K quality. While you won't see old films and TV shows magically displaying as they've been filmed in 4K, it will give you the clearest and balanced image possible.
