This 27-inch Samsung gaming screen isn't much more expensive than an office monitor. But it sports a 180 Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and FreeSync variable refresh. It's a VA panel, which generally means better contrast and deeper blacks than TN or IPS, but viewing angles likely aren't the best.

A $139, 43-inch 4K "monitor" might be the best budget big-screen deal this year — Toshiba QLED Fire TV is $58% off, can easily double as a budget big-screen monitor
You might have to act fast as this is a doorbuster deal at Amazon today, but you can pick up a 43-inch Toshiba M450 TV today at Amazon for a shockingly low $139. Yes, it's a TV not a monitor, but it has four HDMI ports, and customers are reporting it can be set to start up on a specific port, so you can effectively use it as a "dumb" monitor after it's set up. And heck, sometimes you might want to use it for its primary purpose, as a Fire TV as well.
This 4K QLED panel is either a compact TV or a large monitor, but in fact you can use it as both. It sports four HDMI ports for connecting multiple devices and features built-in Fire TV tech with a voice remote. Customers report you can set the TV to start up on a given input, so you can use it as a monitor once it's set up.

As you might suspect, there are caveats here, given the low price. While it is a QLED panel, I would not expect stunning image quality. This is, after all, typically a $199 TV. And this is very much not a gaming screen, as the refresh it locked at 60 Hz. But if you want a big screen on a budget, it's nigh-impossible to beat 43 inches and 4K resolution for $139.99.
There are 200 x 300 mm VESA mount holes on the back for wall mounting, which is a good idea with screens this big. As someone who has been using a TV as my primary monitor since 2012 (currently writing this on a 65-inch LG OLED), I can tell you that TVs can make great monitors. This budget model might not be the best option, but it's certainly one of of the cheapest ways of getting 4K resolution and a screen size above 40 inches. Just don't snooze on this if you want one, as this is a lightning deal that may sell out today.
Save over $500 on Samsung's extra-wide Odyssey OLED G9 (G91SD) — 49-inch 32:9 monitor is $795.99 on sale
Samsung's signature 32:9 monitors are expensive beasts, but Newegg has a 38% discount going on the Odyssey OLED G9, bringing its price down to $795.99. This is a 49-inch display with a dual-QHD resolution (5120 x 1440) and a 144Hz refresh rate. It uses a QD-OLED panel, giving you an extremely low response time of 0.03ms, as well.

For connectivity, the monitor comes with a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection and single HDMI 2.1 jack, along with a micro HDMI port. There's an integrated USB-C hub, as well, with two downstream USB-C ports and a single upstream port. Samsung supports picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture modes when using multiple inputs.
As expected for a display in this class, the monitor supports G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro, and it comes with a DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification. To help prevent burn-in, Samsung also includes logo and taskbar detection, along with automatic dimming. — Jake Roach
Upgrade to a 1440p monitor for just $127.99 with this deal on the ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27QRT1B
If you've been holding off on an upgrade to 1440p, it's hard to look past this deal on the ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27QRT1B. Newegg has the display available for 34% off, taking its list price of $195.99 down to just $127.99. There are some 1080p displays selling for that price right now.
The ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27QRT1B is a 27-inch 1440p display with a 180Hz refresh rate. It uses a VA panel with a 1500R curve.

It comes with a speed 180Hz refresh rate, along with FreeSync Premium certification. ASRock advertises a response time of 1ms, but this monitor uses a VA panel. VA panels need high overdrive settings to achieve those low response times, which can lead to adverse image artifacts.
For connectivity, you get two HDMI 2.0 ports and a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection. The included stand offers no points of adjustment, but thankfully, there's a standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mount on the back so you can throw the monitor on an arm. — Jake Roach
Save $200 on the 350Hz Samsung Odyssey G6, bringing the price down to $299.99
The speedy Samsung Odyssey G6 is on sale for 40% off at Newegg, shaving $200 off its list price to bring the monitor down to $299.99. It's a 27-inch 1440p display with a blistering 350 Hz refresh rate. It uses a Fast IPS panel, which Samsung claims offers a 1ms GtG response time.

Samsung had the monitor certified with a AMD FreeSync Premium (along with a G-Sync Compatible badge), and passed it through VESA's DisplayHDR 400 tier. Note the DisplayHDR 400 tier doesn't require any specific lighting zones or strict contrast requirements, so you shouldn't expect great HDR performance.
The included stand offers height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments, as well as the ability to hold the display vertically. Note that the poor reviews on Newegg are related to a limited-time game promotion, not the monitor itself; the negative reviews are very positive about the display itself. — Jake Roach
MSI's 27-inch dual-mode 4K monitor is just $220 on sale
Newegg has the MSI MAG 275UPD marked down to $220 for its FantasTech Sale II. It's a dual-mode 4K display that normally operates at 4K with a 144Hz refresh rate. However, you can also use it at 1080p with a 288Hz refresh rate. The monitor comes with HDMI 2.1 support (along with DisplayPort 1.4), as well as Adaptive Sync for variable refresh rate across GPUs.

MSI is using an IPS panel, so you should expect peak brightness to top out around 400 nits, and static contrast to sit around 1,000:1. MSI says the monitor is "HDR ready," though most IPS panels struggle with HDR, particularly at this budget price.
Despite being a budget display, MSI still includes an adjustable stand with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments, along with a standard 100 x 100 VESA mount. MSI also includes dual 2W speakers, and although you shouldn't expect great quality out of them, monitor speakers are nice to have as a fallback. — Jake Roach
Acer's 34-inch Ultrawide Nitro 1440p monitor with blazing-fast 240 Hz refresh rate is $130 off
The 34-inch Acer Nitro Ultrawide is now on sale for $249.99, a 34% discount that saves you $130. This monitor comes with more than enough speed for most gamers, with a fast 240 Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, along with support for AMD's FreeSync Premium to keep screen tearing and stuttering at bay.
The Acer 34-inch Nitro monitor has plenty to like, with a 1440p panel with a 21:9 ratio and a blazing-fast 240 Hz refresh rate. It also provides two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 ports.

The VA panel has a 21:9 aspect ratio and a curvaceous 1500R radius that's right in the immersion sweet spot for most gamers, and it also supports HDR10 and provides 250 nits of brightness (this isn't particularly bright, but also isn't dim). This panel also affords modern connectivity options, with two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 port.
At $130 off, this monitor is a solid contender if you're on the hunt for a competent gaming panel. — Paul Alcorn
Save nearly half off the 4K 240Hz Samsung Odyssey QD-OLED G8 (G81SF) in lightning sale
Amazon has a lightning deal that it just started on Samsung's Odyssey QD-OLED G8, knocking 49% off its list price of $1,299.99 to bring it down to $664.99. Best Buy currently has this monitor on sale for $900, for some context on the price. The deal is just 3% claimed as we're posting this update.

The Odyssey QD-OLED G8 (G81SF) is a 27-inch 4K monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate. It uses a QD-OLED panel, so it has an extremely fast response time at 0.03ms. Note, this is a 16:9 monitor, not the 21:9 Odyssey OLED G8 that we reviewed when Samsung launched it in 2023.
Samsung had the display certified with VESA's DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification (typical for this class of OLED), as well as AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync Compatible certification. We haven't reviewed this particular model, but most of Samsung's QD-OLED displays can reach their advertised peak 1,000-nit brightness in HDR, and they're generally color accurate out of the box (true of most OLED panels). — Jake Roach
MSI's new MPG271QR X50 500Hz QD-OLED monitor is on sale for an all-time low price of $599.99
MSI's new MPG271QR X50 monitor hasn't seen a sale yet, but Newegg has the display available at a $50 discount during its FantasTech sale, brining the price to $599.99. Although we've seen 27-inch OLED displays as cheap as $280, the MSI X50 comes with a blistering 500Hz refresh rate, as well as a newer third-gen QD-OLED panel.

Even at its launch price of $699.99, we gave the MPG271QR X50 a near perfect score in our review. As you can see from the color testing we did as part of that review below, the MPG271QR offers excellent color accuracy out of the box, matching similar panels from Asus and Aorus.
In SDR, we measured typical brightness at 303 nits, which is on the lower-end for 1440p QD-OLED panels, though still within a normal range. In HDR, we measured peak brightness at 505 nits, aligning with other 500Hz QD-OLED panels from Asus and Aorus. Note that peak highlights can reach 1,000 nits, though only for small portions of the screen. — Jake Roach
LG’s massive 45-inch 45GX950A-B dual-mode OLED gaming monitor gets a $700 discount
Ultra-wide monitors are a great productivity enhancer, giving you more horizontal workspace. That’s especially true of the LG Ultragear 45GX950A-B, a 45-inch gaming monitor currently priced at $1,299.99, down from a high of $1,999.99.
The LG Ultragear 45GX950A-B is a 45-inch OLED monitor with a 5120 x 2160 resolution, which operates at 165 Hz natively, or 330 Hz at WFHD.
Read moreRead less▼
The 45GX950A-B features a 21:9 aspect ratio, 5,120 x 2,160 resolution, and, most importantly, a WOLED panel. Not only do you get the brilliant colors inherent to OLEDs, but the underlying WOLED panel technology also skews toward higher brightness (1,300-nit peak in this case).
Regarding performance, the 45GX950A-B can operate at up to 165 Hz at its native resolution, but jumps to 330 Hz at WFHD (2560 x 1080). It offers a 1,500,000:1 contrast ratio and 98.5 percent DCI-P3 coverage, while being DisplayHDR True Black 400-certified. On the connectivity front, the monitor offers two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 2.1 port, and a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode support. — Brandon Hill
Get a QD-OLED monitor for just $280 with this 27-inch, 1440p display with a 144Hz refresh rate
QD-OLED monitors are dropping in price, and Amazon has a particularly good deal going right now on AOC's 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED display. Unlike most 27-inch, 1440p OLED displays, this monitor tops out at a 144Hz refresh rate. The typical 240Hz refresh rate you see on this panel is available, as well, though at a higher $332.49 price. We saw this monitor on sale earlier in the week at $300, and it was a good deal then. An extra $20 off is even better.
This AOC monitor is a 27-inch QD-OLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a refresh rate of 144Hz. AOC rates the response time at 0.03ms, and the monitor comes with G-Sync Compatible certification.

There are other displays rocking this same panel that are on sale, but they're all more expensive than this AOC monitor. The MSI Pro Max 271QPX14G is $300 on sale, for instance. As with any QD-OLED panel, this monitor has perfect black levels, leading to a theoretically infinite contrast ratio. OLED panels also have extremely fast pixel transition times, leading to those sub-millisecond response time claims.
AOC claims 147.6% coverage of the sRGB and 110.2% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamuts (OLED panels are wide-gamut). For connectivity, AOC includes a single HDMI 2.1 and single DisplayPort 1.4 connection, allow with a 3.5mm audio out. — Jake Roach
Save over $156 on the ASRock Phantom Gaming 27-inch OLED 2K 240Hz gaming monitor – just $319 lets you jump into high-refresh-rate OLED gaming
OLED gaming displays have been the thing to buy over the last year or two. Since they became available a few years ago, prices have come down considerably. To that point, ASRock’s Phantom Gaming (PG027QSA-W) 27-inch QHD/2K monitor is now $319, a solid $156 (32%) off the retail price at Newegg.
ASRock's 27-inch 240Hz OLED panel is at the cheapest price we've seen. Upgrade to OLED goodness and see true black and awesome colors for less.

This white-clad display arrives at your door factory-calibrated, so you get a great picture out of the box. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium for smooth, high-refresh-rate gaming on the 240Hz 0.03ms (GTG) panel. It boasts great color with a wide 99% DCI-P3 color space and Delta E<2 color accuracy. It also has four inputs (2x DisplayPort, 2x HDMI) for plenty of flexibility. It also comes with a built in stand with tilt, swivel, height, and pivot adjustments.
At just over $319, it is one of the least expensive in its size and type and a great upgrade for anyone not already using a high refresh-rate OLED. The best news is that your current video card will likely still handle it, unlike 4K OLEDs. - Joe Shields
AOC 27-inch 280Hz QHD gaming monitor now just $135 — value-priced Q27G41ZE still comes with a 3-year warranty
There are some excellent deals to be had on gaming monitors, and Amazon is currently running a sweet deal on the AOC Q27G41ZE. This is a 27-inch gaming monitor that offers some serious bang for the buck. The monitor typically retails for $159.99, but is currently on sale for $135.99.
The AOC Q27G41ZE is a value-packed 27-inch gaming monitor with a QHD IPS panel and a 240Hz native refresh rate. The monitor can also be overclocked to 260Hz and comes with a 3-year warranty.

For that price, you get a QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS display with a native refresh rate of 240 Hz. However, with overclocking, you can boost the maximum refresh rate to 260 Hz to eke out a bit more performance. However, just take note that the 240 Hz/260 Hz refresh rates are only accessible via the DisplayPort connection. Speaking of ports, you get one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 on the Q27G41ZE.
Other features of note include a 0.03ms response time, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 nits typical brightness, and -3 to +21-degree tilt range. And despite the value pricing, the Q27G41ZE comes backed by a three-year "Zero Bright Dot" warranty. — Brandon Hill
Get into 4K OLED gaming for less with MSI's Pro Max 271UPX12G 120Hz monitor
If you want to get into the crisp motion, deep blacks, and rich color of 4K OLED gaming for less, your options are limited. Most 4K OLED gaming monitors are $750 or more, and we're not seeing a lot of deep discounts on panels with those specs right now. But if you're willing to tolerate a 120Hz refresh rate, MSI's Pro Max 271UPX12G could be a good entry point into this rarefied world. This pro monitor offers a 27" QD-OLED panel with G-Sync Compatible certification. Break the rules and game on it for $579.99.
MSI's Pro Max 271UPX12G 4K OLED monitor isn't marketed as a gaming panel, but it can be one for less if you're willing to break the rules. A 120Hz refresh rate and G-Sync Compatible certification offer smooth gaming along with rich color and deep blacks.

While a 120Hz refresh rate is a bit low for a hardcore gaming display, it'll still be an upgrade if you're coming from a 60Hz panel. And especially if you plan to drive this display at or near its native resolution with upscaling and aren't a fan of frame generation, the 120Hz refresh rate won't be much of a damper on your gaming experience. Even today's best graphics cards would be hard-pressed to deliver native 4K output at a 120 FPS average in the latest games without frame generation.
The Pro Max 271UPX12G comes factory-calibrated to a Delta E of less than two, and it offers an exceptional 99% coverage of the vivid DCI-P3 color gamut to go with its sharp 4K resolution. It's got two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4a connector, as well as a stand with height, pivot, and swivel adjustments.
If you can compromise slightly on refresh rate, this panel could be a relatively affordable ticket to a 4K OLED at hundreds of dollars less than only slightly faster options. -- Jeff Kampman

Arzopa is well known for producing quality monitors at affordable prices, and the Z3FC is no exception. I tested the monitor earlier this year and was impressed with its build quality, color performance, and speed. It also helps that it comes with a handy fabric storage sleeve to protect the screen when traveling.
The Z3FC features a relatively large 16.1-inch IPS panel, which is just outside the 15.4-inch baseline for portable monitors. That size affords a 2560 x 1440 resolution instead of the standard 1080p. Add in the 180 Hz refresh rate, up from the standard 60 Hz on most portable monitors, and you have a great monitor you can pair with your Nintendo Switch on the go, or even an Xbox or PlayStation in a pinch. — Brandon Hill

For example, the Acer Nitro (XV270U Z1bmiiprx) is available from Newegg right now for $179.99. It features a 27-inch 2560x1440 (WQHD) IPS panel supporting up to a 270 Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort (144Hz over HDMI).

The IPS panel support 99% sRGB color gamut for accurate color reproduction and Acer VisionCare technologies (think blue light shield, flicker-free tech, etc).

Five-star Alienware AW2725DF 360 Hz OLED monitor drops to its lowest-ever price of $469 — get 25% off this ‘near-perfect display for gaming or productivity’
Perhaps it’s the high prices of… pretty much everything else, but we are seeing lots of deals on modestly sized 27-inch monitors this Prime Big Deal Days, and at its lowest-ever price of $469 at Amazon, this one stands out. When we reviewed the AW2725DF, we called it “a near-perfect display for gaming or productivity when space is limited,” and praised the screen for its stunningly fast 360 Hz refresh rate and smoothness, while delivering a wider color gamut than even other OLED monitors.
This 27-inch QD-OLED monitor brings a typical-for-its-size 1440p resolution, but a fast 360 Hz refresh rate, alongside a 1000-nit brightness rating, and a 3-year warranty. In our testing, it also delivered better color than other OLEDs.

When we reviewed this screen in 2024, it beat the next most colorful 27-inch OLED we had tested by 10%, which is enough to notice. And we found the color to be accurate in both DCI-P3 and sRGB, with no need for calibration. Hands down, this is one of the best-looking compact OLED monitors out of the box, and considering it was priced at $900 when we looked at it in 2024, its current sale price is hard to ignore. — Joe Shields

It's a VA panel, so you can expect higher contrast and deeper blacks than IPS rivals, and it comes with AMD FreeSync support to eliminate screen tearing completely. - Ben Stockton
240 Hz OLED gaming monitor now just $269 — 2560 Acer Nitro with QD panel is $81 off
So many things in the PC space (and pretty much everywhere else) are more expensive these days. But the price of OLED monitors continues to decline, as evidenced by this 27-inch, 240 Hz model (VG277U Xbiip) from Acer's Nitro line. It sports a 240 Hz QD-OLED panel rated at 400 Nits of brightness and a 0.03 ms response time. That's a lot of monitor for the current Walmart asking price of $269.
This mid-sized gaming monitor sports a QD-OLED panel rated at a decent 400 nits of brightness, with a 240 Hz refresh and a resolution of 2560 x 1440. If you're after a gaming screen on a budget and want inky blacks and saturated colors, this is a tough deal to beat.

We haven't tested this monitor, so we can't vouch for its performance. But Acer typically makes solid gaming panels, and the QD-OLED panel ensures that the blacks will be truly black and the colors should be vivid. The 400-nit brightness rating isn't the best for an OLED, but it should be more than sufficient, unless you like to game in a bright, sunlit room.
The VG277U Xbiip has one DisplayPort (1.4) and two HDMI (2.1) ports. The bezels are also barely there, save for a small lip at the bottom. And of course, AMD FreeSync Premium is supported, and you should see smooth performance in gaming with an Nvidia card as well. - Matthew Safford
Two of Alienware's best award-winning QD-OLED gaming monitors plummet to record-low prices
Dell/Alienware has long made excellent monitors, and the company's OLED screens in particular have stuck out in recent years for a combination of price and performance. Today you can snag a swift 27-inch, 360 Hz option or a 280 Hz 34-inch ultrawide for the lowest prices ever.
This 2560 x 1440 screen can hit 360 Hz refresh and sports a 0.03 ms response time. Its color gamut is wider than other OLEDs, and our reviewer called out its plethora of convenience features, noting it "is a near-perfect display for gaming or productivity when space is limited."

This 34-inch, 3440 x 1440 panel can hit 280 Hz, and is brighter than its predecessor, thanks to tis five-layer tandem tech. Our reviewer praised it for its colorful image and low input lag with "perfect motion resolution."

You can't go wrong with either of these screens, as we've tested both and both got our Editors' Choice for their performance. The AW2725DF is an older model from 2024, while the AW3426DW launched in the middle of this year and therefore has a newer panel. But both are made by Samsung and feature vivid colors and inky blacks.
On the AW3426DW in particular, our color testing showed that the screen was accurate out of the box, and like most QD-OLED screens, the panel was colorful and well-balanced. If you do, though, want to make a couple of minor adjustments, you can achieve 105% coverage of the DCI-P3 space.
We saw similar results in our testing of the smaller AW2725DF, which again proves that either option is excellent. If you're looking to upgrade your screen for gaming or gaming and productivity, these are two of the best options available -- especially at these record-low price points. — Matt Safford
