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.

Aside from price, the 37-inch size is probably this monitor's major selling point, as it's pretty rare and sits between typical 32-inch screens and the truly large 40 or 42-inch screens. If you're rocking a 27-inch or 32-inch monitor and are looking for a size upgrade without spending a lot, this is the best deal for productivity that I have seen.
Just note that this isn't great for more than basic, casual gaming. Aside from the locked 60 Hz refresh, its 5 ms (GtG) rated response time means you'll probably see motion blur and ghosting with fast motion.
This is a large 37-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) monitor with a 60 Hz refresh rate, which uses a VA panel. Because of the panel type, don't expect great viewing angles. But when sitting directly in front of it, the contrast should be good. Samsung rates the screen at 350 nits, with a 3,000:1 static contrast.

If you're craving a big monitor and don't need high refresh for gaming, this 37-inch monster from Samsung, half off today at B&H, is by far the best value I have seen in months. The cheapest it's been on Amazon is around $350 late last year, so this seems to be its lowest-ever price. In fact, it's currently selling for above $400 at Best Buy and Amazon, so $249 is a steal.

Connectivity consists of a single DisplayPort, two HDMI ports, and a USB-C port, ensuring wide compatibility with a variety of input sources.

Get a little portable OLED in your life for just $207 – Four-star 16-inch ViewSonic ColorPro VP16-OLED portable monitor drops to lowest-ever price
It's not a big-screen gaming monitor, but ViewSonic's ColorPro VP16-OLED is a color-accurate, 15.6-inch portable monitor with an excellent stand / hub that we liked a lot when we tested it back in 2024. And that was back when it was $399, not 48% off that price, as it is at Amazon right now for Prime Day. Apart from the excellent OLED panel, its main trick is a built-in dual-hinge kickstand that houses its ample inputs, as well as a 40-Watt charging hub.
This 1.56-inch, 1080p OLED display features rich and accurate color and deep blacks, as well as a built-in dual-hinge stand that makes it easy to use while including 40W passthrough charging. It also includes a screen protector that doubles as a hood for use outside or under bright lights.
Read moreRead less▼
The dual-hinge stand means you can adjust the tilt as well as height – a nice touch since portable monitors are often too low for ergonomic use long-term. Operating the OSD to adjust the display is easy, thanks to four large buttons on the front of the stand. And the left side houses micro-HDMI, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and two USB-C ports, with the power button on the right.
The only downside I see is that the stand adds extra permanent bulk, making the monitor heavy by portable standards, at 2.2 pounds. But if color and contrast are what you're after, this is a great monitor at an even better price, that beat out even other OLED portables in our testin
The Asus ROG Strix 27-inch OLED is down to its cheapest price ever for Prime Day
Asus makes some of the best OLED gaming monitors, and the XG27AQDMGR shows off that prowess. It comes from Asus’ lower XG range, which trims some of the premium features of monitors in the PG range for a cheaper price, but otherwise uses an identical panel. This monitor has benefited a lot for the rapid advancements in OLED panels, and you can score it now for just $449.
The Asus ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR is a 27-inch, 1440p monitor with a QD-OLED panel. It boasts a 240Hz refresh and 0.03ms GtG response times.

Although we’ve seen OLEDs push ahead to 480Hz at 1440p, the specs here are still excellent. You get a 240Hz, 1440p panel from LG Display. So it’s WOLED instead of QD-OLED. With this generation of panels, you can expect slightly worse color performance out of WOLED but superior brightness.
XG monitors may trim some premium features, but this display still offers a lot. It includes Asus’ Neo Proximity Sensor to automatically dim the display when you’re away, as well as DisplayPort 2.1 support. — Jake Roach
Blazing fast 380 Hz frame rates on the cheap for Prime Day
The Asus ROG Strix XG279CNS is a frequent pick on our deals blog with the 27-inch panel retailing for a mere $229, a 23% discount off its normal $299 price tag.
For eSports gamers looking for an edge of the competition, the ROG Strix XG279CNS offers a 1080p resolution with an ultra-fast 380 Hz refresh rate. You get a 27-inch IPS panel, which should ensure good viewing angles, and it even includes ROG Gaming AI technology for in-game enhancements.

This monitor is designed for headshotters that focus on bleeding-edge frame rates for eSports, with its 1080p resolution firing at 380 Hz to give an advantage to those with the fastest of reflexes. Given that low resolution, you won't need a massive GPU to push this panel to the limits. The screen has a Fast IPS screen that still delivers good picture quality, and a 0.3ms gray-to-gray response time to combat ghosting. The firm's "Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync" (ELMB SYNC) also works to reduce ghosting and tearing.
The panel has HDMI 2,1 DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C (DP Alt Mode) connectivity options. All of this comes wrapped in a great price tag. — Paul Alcorn
Save 36% on Samsung's speedy 32-inch 240 Hz 4K Odyssey gaming monitor
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) is a premium 32-inch gaming monitor built around a 4K QD-OLED panel. Right now, Amazon is selling the monitor for $799.99, an incredible $36% off its normal list price.

To address OLED longevity concerns, Samsung incorporates its OLED Safeguard+ suite, which includes a dynamic cooling system, thermal modulation, and automatic brightness adjustments for static elements such as logos and taskbars to help minimize screen burn-in.
Beyond gaming, the monitor Samsung's Gaming Hub, allowing you to access cloud gaming services and connected consoles, while built-in Smart TV features allow streaming without a PC. — Brandon Hill
Big-screen gaming for $169: free Newegg gift card takes 32-inch, 180 Hz UltraGear 32GS60QC-B down to its lowest-ever price
There are plenty of appealing budget gaming monitor deals swirling around right now. But if you’re after something bigger than 27 inches, Newegg’s sale on the LG UltraGear 32GS60QC-B is the best I’ve seen today. Already down 36% from its $299 list price, the retailer throws in a $20 gift card, taking the price all the way down to $169. And that’s a shockingly affordable price for a 32-inch gaming screen with these specs.
This 32-inch curved gaming monitor sports 1440p resolution, a top refresh rate of 180 Hz, and variable refresh. It’s a VA panel, which should deliver better contrast than IPS when you’re sitting directly in front of it.
Read moreRead less▼
Some will scoff at the VA panel used here, and to be fair it’s not the best panel tech for a monitor at this screen’s typical price. But it’s far more understandable under $200, and VA panels do have contrast advantages when you’re sitting directly in front of the screen. And since this is also a curved gaming monitor, there’s a better chance you will be sitting right in front of it while using it.
Connectivity is the typical two HDMIs and a DisplayPort. LG rates the panel at 300 nits of brightness, a step above the typical budget 250 range, and it ships with a one-year warranty. --Matt Safford
Asus delivers affordable WOLED gaming with the lowest-ever price on the 27-inch ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR – 240 Hz refresh, 1440p, and high brightness
If you’re after an OLED display that gets bright and won’t break the bank, Asus’ recently launched ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR is down to its lowest-ever price of $434 at Amazon for Prime Day. It’s a glossy 27-inch panel with 1440p resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate. But the biggest selling point might be its brightness. This is a next-gen LG WOLED panel that adds a white subpixel to the typical red, green, and blue, amping up the brightness to an impressive rating of 1300 nits – with the TrueBlack Glossy film and all that brightness, this panel will certainly make your games and other content pop.
This 27-inch gaming monitor sports a latest-generation WOLED panel for high brightness (up to 1300 nits), 1440p resolution, 240 Hz refresh, and 99% of the DCI-P3 color space. At its lowest-ever deal price, it’s a surprisingly affordable way to game on a cutting-edge screen.

Aside from its impressive panel, Asus outfits the XG27AQDMGR with a handy adjustable proximity sensor, so the panel turns off when you’re away, helping to keep burn-in to a minimum and extend panel life. You also get Asus’ ELMB panel strobing tech to reduce motion blur, VRR, and a two-port USB hub, alongside the typical video connectivity: Twk HDMI and a DisplayPort. Asus also offers a three-year warranty that covers burn-in, which is a year longer than that LG offers with its own OLED monitors. – Matt Safford
Lowest-ever price on Samsung's 49-inch OLED
This absolutely massive 49-inch OLED display from Samsung has fallen to its lowest-ever price of $854.99. You get 5120 x 1440 resolution, an OLED panel, and a 240 Hz refresh rate.

In our review, we loved this monitor's out-of-the-box calibration and features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even Apple AirPlay. Build quality is another bonus, and as you can see from our data, it has some of the best response times we've seen in OLED testing. - Stephen Warwick

Save $121 (37%) on Samsung 34-inch ViewFinity S50GC U-WHQD monitor - 21:9 widescreen maximizes screen real estate, seamless multitasking
We’ve seen a lot of monitor deals come and go on Prime Day 2026, with most focused on gamers searching for high-refresh-rate panels. And while this monitor will certainly play games without issue, the 34-inch Samsung ViewFinity S50GC Series is designed for office productivity, creative workflows, and multitasking. The S5 is the entry-to-mid-level series and supports 3440x1440 U-WQHD resolution, 100Hz refresh rate, FreeSync Premium, and HDR10 (300 nits), but it’s that increased real estate from the 21:9 aspect ratio and high resolution that allows you to get more done.
Save over $120 on this Ultra-widescreen monitor designed for office productivity. The 21:9 aspect ratio and high 3440x1440 resolution allows you to do more in the same space. You can even game after hours and be happy with the 100 Hz refresh rate and FreeSync Premium support.
Read moreRead less▼
Connectivity on the S50GC consists of two HDMI (v2.2) and one DisplayPort (v1.2) inputs for video. A built-in ambient light sensor detects lighting in your room and automatically adjusts brightness, and it has an eyesaver mode to reduce blue light. One of its coolest features, to me, is that it can display two different inputs side by side, another feature that makes this monitor great for office work and productivity.
The Asus TUF VG27AQ offers a 1440p IPS at 180Hz for just $170 on Prime Day
The Asus TUF VG27AQ3A is a 27-inch, 1440p monitor with an IPS panel and 180Hz refresh rate. We've seen plenty of high refresh rate 1440p monitors below $200, but most of them use a VA panel, trading some color accuracy and motion clarity (at high overdrive settings) for better contrast and faster response times. This monitor, on the other hand, uses an IPS panel.
This gaming monitor from Asus spans 27 inches across and features an IPS panel. It has a dense, QHD resolution and a 180 Hz refresh rate, which are great specs for gaming. It also has both DisplayPort and HDMI input options.
Read moreRead less▼
We've covered sales on this monitor several times before, normally at $200. For Prime Day, it's down to its lowest price ever at $170. At 27 inches, 1440p is the ideal resolution for pixel density, and although 240Hz refresh rates are slowly proliferating among high-end displays, 180Hz isn't as significantly different as it sounds. You're looking at a difference of about 1.5ms, assuming you're maxing-out the refresh rate.
In addition, the monitor comes with Asus' ELMB Sync, which offers backlight strobing while using variable refresh rate. On that front, the monitor supports FreeSync Premium and is G-Sync Compatible. Asus also went out of its way to obtain the broad AdaptiveSync verification from VESA. — Jake Roach
Samsung's Odyssey G30D is on an excellent sale for just $150, 35% off its list price
If you don't want to just get a grab bag 25-inch, 1080p monitor is on sale for $100, grab the Samsung Odyssey G30D. It's a 1080p monitor, but it's larger than most cheap 1080p displays at 27 inches, and it comes with a fully adjustable stand along with a 180Hz refresh rate.
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.
Read moreRead less▼
We normally recommend a 1440p resolution for a 27-inch panel. That's ideal for pixel density, which is a bit low here with a 1080p resolution on a 27-inch display. If that will be a problem largely depends on your viewing distance and what you're coming from; the resolution shouldn't feel fuzzy if you're coming from another 1080p display.
Samsung uses a VA panel and claims a MPRT of just 1ms, which is generally more accurate than GtG response times. Just keep in mind that low response times on VA panels usually require overdrive, and you can get visual artifacts like black smearing at higher overdrive settings. — Jake Roach
Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G5 is one of the cheapest we’ve seen yet at $340, plus it comes with a free copy of Resident Evil Requiem
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G5 is one of the cheapest OLED deals we’ve seen on Prime Day. It’s a 180Hz, 1440p QD-OLED display that’s on sale for just $340 right now, shaving more than $150 on its list price. On top of that, B&H is running a promotion where you can score a free copy of the new Resident Evil Requiem (normally $70) for free when you buy the monitor.
The Odyssey OLED G5 is a 1440p QD-OLED monitor with a 180Hz refresh, 0.03ms GtG response time, and FreeSync/G-Sync certification.
Read moreRead less▼
We saw the monitor drop to $350 earlier this year, but this is the cheapest we’ve seen it so far. Although it misses on the 240Hz refresh rate we normally find on 1440p QD-OLED displays, those monitors will currently run you around $500 outside of exceptional sales. AT 180Hz, this monitor is fast enough for the vast majority of PC gamers.
Outside of the panel, the monitor comes with FreeSync support and G-Sync certification and the theoretically infinite contrast OLED panels are known for, plus a good dash of vibrant color. OLED monitors have gotten very cheap over the past two years, and the Odyssey G5 is riding that wave on this sale. — Jake Roach
Cheaper than Black Friday!

It also has HDMI 2.1, so it can be used with a PS5 or Xbox Series X, and it has a matte finish. - Stephen Warwick
Alienware’s 240Hz 34 QD-OLED (AW3425DW) is down to a Prime Day all-time low of $615, 23% off its list price
Alienware updated its wildly popular 34 QD-OLED with a 240Hz refresh rate, and that monitor, the AW3425DW, is down to its lowest price ever on Prime Day. It's $615, which is 23% off its list price.
The Alienware AW3424DW is an ultrawide 21:9 display with a QD-OLED panel. It has a resolution of 3440 x 1440 and a refresh rate of 240Hz.

We reviewed this model, the AW3425DW, last year, and gave it a near-perfect score. At the time, it featured the lowest input lag out of any monitor we’d ever tested, and it boasts exceptional color performance, with a color error of just 1.33 based on our testing. QD-OLED panels have perfect black levels, as well, providing theoretically infinite contrast.
Alienware’s take on this panel has a few unique goodies, as well. It comes with a three-year warranty that covers burn-in, as well as built-in panel-saving features like pixel shifting. This model uses a newer QD-OLED panel that addresses some of the color fringing issues on earlier QD-OLED panels. — Jake Roach
Get a second monitor for under $90 — save 40% on the Acer KB272-27, a 27-inch, 120Hz, FHD monitor, during Prime Day
If you’re in the market for a basic second (or third) monitor, consider the 27-inch Acer KB272-27 monitor. It's priced at only $89.99 right now, a savings of 40% off its list price. This IPS panel runs up to a 120Hz refresh rate and is AMD FreeSync compatible, so you get variable refresh rate.
The IPS panel supports a wide color gamut, 99% sRGB, and 250-nit brightness. Connectivity consists of an HDMI 2.1 and an old-school VGA port (sorry, no USB). Note, you’ll need to use the HDMI port for FHD and 120 Hz. The 1ms (GTG) response time helps reduce smearing and ghosting. Other features include a thin bezel, a stand with tilt adjustment, and a standard VESA mounting capability. Acer stands behind the KB272-27 with a 3-year warranty.
Save $60 (40%) on this Acer 27-inch FHD, 120 Hz refresh rate, IPS monitor. You get 99 % sRGB color coverage, AMD Freesync compatibility, and a stand that tilts. Just $90 gets you that second (or third) monitor you've been looking for.

While it’s not a fancy OLED with 240 Hz refresh rate, it’s also nowhere near as expensive. But for only $90, you’re not going to find a better deal on a 27-inch FHD, 120Hz IPS panel, even on Prime Day. If you need a second monitor or are upgrading from 1080p 60 Hz, this Acer is one of the best deals around. — Joe Shields

Score a sweet spot 1440p monitor for just $141 (43% off) with the LG 27GS60QC-B
One of the best upgrades you can make to your gaming setup is a 1440p if you've been stuck on a FHD display. The LG 27GS60QC-B is a 27-inch display with a 1440p resolution, 180Hz refresh rate, and 1000R curvature. It also has a rated 1ms GtG response time and supports FreeSync. This monitor is on sale everywhere, even on LG's own website, but Amazon is the only place we've found it for $141. It's $150 everywhere else.
The UltraGear 27GS60QC-B is a 27-inch monitor with a 1440p resolution, 180Hz refresh rate, and 1ms GtG response time. It uses a VA panel and comes with FreeSync support.

This is the lowest price the monitor has ever been at. LG uses a VA panel in this display with a native contrast ratio of 3000:1. LG also claims typical brightness of 300 nits, which is standard for most VA panels. Keep in mind that the low response times of VA panels require overdrive, which can lead to visual artifacts like black smearing.
Still, this is an excellent way to upgrade to 1440p. The monitor is direct cheap, has a speedy refresh rate, and it's the ideal pixel density at 27 inches with a 1440p resolution. — Jake Roach
ViewSonic's VX2730D-4K is the cheapest dual-mode 4K display around, and it's a good one
Dual-mode 4K displays are a hot item this Prime Day, and we've found the cheapest one yet in ViewSonic's VX2730D. This IPS panel offers a 144Hz 4K mode for smooth, crisp AAA visuals and a 288Hz 1080p mode for high-refresh-rate esports gameplay. We just reviewed the VX2730D and lauded its performance and value at its $279 MSRP, and it's now an even better deal for just $225.87 at Amazon.

At its native 4K resolution, the VG270K can operate at 160 Hz. However, it also has a trick up its sleeve, as it's a dual-mode monitor. If you drop the resolution to 1080p, you'll get a boost in the maximum refresh rate to 320 Hz.
Other niceties include two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 port, AMD FreeSync Premium support, and a 0.5 ms response time. — Brandon Hill
Arzopa 16.1-inch 180Hz 1440p portable monitor available for only $138 on Prime Day
Portable monitors seem to be all the rage these days; in just a few short years, we’ve gone from having little variety to being showered with options across multiple sizes, form factors, and performance categories. If you skew more towards the gaming side of things in your requirements for a portable monitor, the Arzopa Z3FC is available with a solid 19% discount, bringing its price to $137.74.

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 came away impressed with its build quality, color performance, and speed. It also helps that it comes with a handy storage sleeve for travel.
The Z3FC has a relatively large 16.1-inch IPS panel, which is just outside the 15.4-inch norm for portable monitors. That extra real estate also comes with a bump in resolution from the typical 1920 x 1080 to 2560 x 1440. 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
LG's premium 27-inch RGB Tandem OLED 540 Hz/720 Hz dual-mode gaming monitor falls to $685
LG's 27GX790B-B continues to be available for Prime Day, and you get a lot of bang for your gaming buck with this monitor. It has an MSRP of $999 but is available for $315 off, bringing the price to just $684.99 at Amazon. This is $15 lower than earlier in the week for those of you who are still on the fence.
The LG 27GX790B-B utilizes an RGB Tandem OLED panel with a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution. More importantly, the panel has a native refresh rate of 540 Hz, which is already among the fastest available. However, if you're willing to drop the resolution to 720p (we're looking at you, eSports fiends), you can boost the refresh rate to a staggering 720 Hz.
The LG 27GX790B-B is a 27-inch QHD monitor with a native 540 Hz refresh rate, but it can switch to 720 Hz at 720p.

In addition to its speedy fundamentals, the 27GX790B-B also offers AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility, features DisplayPort 2.1/HDMI 2.1 ports, and a built-in USB hub (with DisplayPort Alt Mode supported via its USB-C port). — Brandon Hill
Grab this nifty retro monitor/hub
One of the coolest retro gadgets you can buy during Prime Day is back on sale. We love this Hagibis 3.5-inch IPS monitor. It's a tiny retro desktop hub that also doubles as a second display for your PC, back down to its lowest-ever price.
This retro Hagibis display comes with a 3.5-inch IPS LCD display with a native resolution of 960 x 640, although it can scale up to 2,560 x 1,600 if you like punishing your eyes. It also includes several USB-A and USB-C ports with Gen 3.1 speeds, an HDMI port, as well as SD and TF card readers.
Read moreRead less▼
This is both a real second monitor and a desktop hub. In terms of ports, you get an SD and TF card slot, USB-C port, two USB-A ports, HDMI, and 3.5mm audio. The display is a 3.5-inch IPS display with resolution ranging from 800 x 600 to 2,560 x 1,600, with 960 x 640 the optimized resolution. In terms of style, it looks like an old-fashioned CRT monitor, and is a super-nifty $80 impulse buy. - Stephen Warwick
Sceptre’s 34-inch curved ultrawide delivers up to 180 Hz refresh, 3440 x 1440 resolution for just $197 as Prime Day winds down
If you’re craving the immersion of a curved ultrawide monitor for gaming on a budget, this model from Sceptre is down to its lowest-ever Amazon price of $197. It’s a VA panel, so don’t expect the best color reproduction or viewing angles, but since it’s a curved gaming screen, you’re probably going to be sitting right in front of it most of the time.
The C345B-QUT168 is a 34-inch ultrawide, with 3440 x 1440 resolution, up to a 180 Hz variable refresh (165 Hz standard), an R1500 curve, 400 nits of rated brightness, and a 99% SRGB rating. It also has RGB lighting around back, and four video ports.

Aside from its low price for quite a few gaming-friendly features, one of this screen’s standout features is the inclusion of two DisplayPorts (1.4), alongside a pair of HDMI (2.0) ports. A 3.5-inch headphone jack rounds out the connectivity. – Matt Safford
LG’s 32-inch IPS Ultragear 32G620B-B delivers an IPS 1440p panel with 200 Hz variable refresh for Prime Day sale price of $237
Hovering in between budget and mid-range – especially at this sale price – LG’s 32G620B-B brings premium IPS panel tech (better viewing angles and colors, generally, than VA) to the 32-inch, 1440p category, with a 200 Hz refresh that tops the typical 165 Hz you’ll often find in this price range. The listed typical 300 nits brightness is good for this class of monitor, but don’t expect true HDR, despite LG’s HDR10 claims.
This new-model 32-inch monitor sports an LG IPS panel with 2560x1440 resolution and a fast 200 Hz refresh. It’s rated to deliver 99% of the sRGB color space, with a typical brightness of 300 nits, and a 1200:1 contrast.
Read moreRead less▼
If the older, budget-priced monitors on sale aren’t living up to your expectations, but you can’t spend a lot, this is a nice step up, with faster refresh and a better panel than much of the current competition. It’s also a new model monitor, having launched just last month, whereas a lot of the lower-priced screens on sale now tend to be from two or three years ago. Considering LG is a premier panel maker, that should mean the screen looks and performs better, but with no real reviews from sites that have tested it, it’s tough to say for sure.
ViewSonic’s brand-new dual-refresh, four-star 27-inch 4K monitor goes on sale for the first time, just $225
We just reviewed the ViewSonic VX2730D-4K last week and praised it for its sharp, colorful SDR image, low input lag and value, and now it’s on sale for 19% off at Amazon. This is a somewhat unique dual-mode panel that it delivers 144 Hz refresh at 3840 x 2160, or a speedier 288 Hz at 1920 x 1080 for esports titles. It also performed well (and accurately) in our testing, especially in SDR mode. And considering the 250 nits brightness rating, you should probably keep it in SDR anyway.
This recently launched 27-inch gaming monitor stands out for both value and its ability to switch from 144 Hz at 4K, or 288 Hz at 1080p. It can even scale the image down to 24 inches in the latter mode, so serious esports users can game at the size and pixel density that they’re used to.

Our reviewer called out this screen for delivering “tremendous performance and quality for the price” when this monitor cost $54 more than its current sale price. And he concluded with “Gaming is super quick and smooth thanks to excellent video processing and a convenient resolution switch, and I was even able to toggle it without leaving the game, which is a first in my experience.” His only real complaint was with HDR. The screen technically supports HDR10 signals, but eventually, he decided everything looked better in SDR mode. -- Matt Safford
LG's premium 27-inch RGB Tandem OLED 540 Hz/720 Hz dual-mode gaming monitor is $315 off right now
High-refresh-rate gaming monitors are all the rage these days, with LG being one of the top panel suppliers in the business. It should come as no surprise that LG would include these panels in its own line of gaming monitors, which brings us to this early Prime Day deal on the 27GX790B-B. The monitor has an MSRP of $999 but is already available for $300 off, bringing the price to just $684.99 at Amazon.
The LG 27GX790B-B is definitely a high-end "premium" monitor, featuring an RGB Tandem OLED panel with a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution. More importantly, the panel has a native refresh rate of 540 Hz, which is already among the fastest available. However, if you're willing to drop the resolution to 720p (we're looking at you, eSports fiends), you can boost the refresh rate to a staggering 720 Hz. If you have the graphics muscle to handle pushing out 700+ FPS and you're willing to accept 720p resolution, this one's for you.

Beyond its bold 32" diagonal, the QD-OLED XG32UCWG offers 99% coverage of the wide DCI-P3 gamut for vivid color in addition to its DisplayHDR 400 True Black-certified deep blacks. If you're concerned about burn-in, this display has an integrated proximity sensor that will black out the panel when you're not sitting in front of it for longer life.

We've highlighted plenty of dual-mode LCD monitors this Prime Day, but OLED displays can get in on that versatility, too. Especially if you're a fan of big monitors, Asus' ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWG has a lot to love. This 4K 165Hz/1080p 330Hz display can show off AAA titles in 4K glory and pivot to low-latency esports gaming in a snap, and it's on sale for an all-time low price of $699.99 at Amazon this Prime Day.
Dell’s 24-inch SE2426HG gaming monitor sizzles with a 240 Hz IPS panel for $95
In a time when memory and storage prices have us all feeling a bit “under the weather” about system upgrades, many of us are looking for other ways to get more bang for our tech buck. One segment of the PC market that has seen dramatic price drops rather than increases has been monitors, and there’s no further evidence of that with the Dell 24 (SE2426HG), which is available for just $94.99 at Amazon.
The Dell 24 SE2426HG is a value-priced 24-inch monitor with a 1080p resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate.
Read moreRead less▼
The SE2426HG measures just 24 inches across, which makes its relatively low 1920 x 1080 resolution less of an issue if you’re worried about being able to spot individual pixels. But where the SE2426HG really grabs your attention is its 240 Hz refresh rate, a heady number for a sub-$100 monitor. On top of that, you’re still getting a solid IPS panel, AMD FreeSync Premium support, two HDMI ports, and a DisplayPort 1.4 port.
For something priced this low, the SE2426HG offers a lot for bargain shoppers who don’t want to spend four times that price for a QHD OLED gaming monitor. — Brandon Hill
Score Asus' unique ROG Strix XG27JCG 5K gaming monitor for an all-time low price
If you're like me, you can never have too many pixels in your main monitor. 4K is my bare minimum. But the practical limits of cost, display connector bandwidth, and panel availability have all stymied further frontiers of pixel density on the desktop until just recently. If you're a pixel freak like me, you'll be delighted with the Asus ROG Strix XG27JCG, which is one of the world's first practical 5K gaming monitors. This display is at an all-time low price of $699 at Amazon right now as part of Prime Day.
Asus' ROG Strix XG27JCG is one of the world's first practical 5K gaming monitors, and if you need its unique 5K resolution and 1440p 360Hz secondary mode, it's at an all-time low price this Prime Day.
Read moreRead less▼
For obvious reasons, you will need an extremely high-end graphics card to drive this monitor at its native 5K res and at anything approaching its peak refresh rate, even with upscaling and framegen. An RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, or RTX 5090 is practically a requirement.
But if that proves too much of a heavy lift, you can drop this dual-mode display down to a 1440p 360Hz mode for fluid and responsive gaming at a tolerable QHD resolution with a wider range of cards and save its densest mode for creative and productivity use cases.
In our review, we praised the XG27JCG for its superb resolution, color accuracy, motion processing, and dual-mode versatility. It certainly isn't a display for most people, but if you're one of the choosy few who need its unique capabilites, you can pick it up at a significant discount during this Prime Day event. -- Jeff Kampman
KTC is offering a 27-inch 1440p monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate for just $100
KTC, or Key to Combat, isn't the first brand that pops up when you're shopping for monitors, but it consistently offers some of the lowest prices. We can see that in action here, with a 27-inch 1440p display for just $100, fit with a 144Hz refresh rate. There are 1080p monitors with worse specs selling for more money right now; and that's on sale.
The KTC 27 is a 27-inch monitor with a VA panel and 144Hz refresh rate. It comes with support for variable refresh rate, along with a 4000:1 contrast ratio.
Read moreRead less▼
KTC isn't a no-name brand. I'm writing this on one of the company's OLED displays now, and we recently reviewed a mini-LED panel from the company. It's a Chinese brand that previously offered white label services for larger OEMs but has spun off its own business since.
The monitor uses a VA panel, and KTC claims a static contrast ratio of 4000:1. Image quality should be fine, though keep in mind this is a $100 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate, which is the main draw. — Jake Roach
Save big on the huge 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide gaming monitor for only $799, $500 off, matching its all-time low

It also uses a 1000R curve and has some bling with RGB lighting on the back. Both are great for better immersion. But the best part has to be the price for such a huge, fast screen.
Upgrade to the 49-inch curved Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor while its at its all-time low price of $799. Dual QHD (5,120x1440), 240Hz AMD FreeSync Premium, HDR1000 is a sight to behold on your desk. Just make sure you have enough room on your desk.

Five-star Alienware AW2725DF 360 Hz OLED monitor drops to its lowest-ever price of $489 — 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 Day, and at its lowest-ever price of $484 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.
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, 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
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.

There's still time to grab a bargain on a portable IPS monitor before Prime Day ends
We've reviewed several KYY portable monitors over the years and have been impressed with their overall quality, features, and aggressive pricing. This latest discount makes the K3 a great buying opportunity for anyone needing a second monitor to carry while traveling or to use as a smaller secondary monitor next to their traditional desktop monitor.
You get a 1080p IPS panel, USB-C and mini-HDMI ports, stereo speakers, and an included smart case.
Read moreRead less▼
So, what does a sub-$60 price tag get you these days? The K3 features a larger 15.6-inch IPS panel with a 1920x1080 (FHD) resolution. The refresh rate is 60 Hz, and the panel is covered in a matte, anti-glare finish. The K3 features two USB-C ports supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode for a one-cable USB-C connection (data and power) to your laptop or desktop. There's also a mini-HDMI port for legacy connections or for connecting with devices like a Raspberry Pi.
Despite the bargain basement price, the K3 offers some nice added touches, like dual integrated speakers. Also, KYY includes a faux-leather smart case that doubles as a multi-position stand for the K3. When the portable monitor is not in use, the case covers the display, preventing it from being damaged during transport. The smart case also allows the K3 to be used in either a horizontal or vertical orientation. It's a simple and effective 2-in-1 solution for frequent travelers.
The K3 weighs just 1.3 pounds and is 0.3 inches thin, allowing it to easily slip into a laptop bag. Included in the box are a USB-A to USB-C cable, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. — Brandon Hill
Score a last-minute OLED upgrade for cheap with Acer's Predator X27U
If you're still sniffing around for one of the best gaming monitor deals this week, Acer's Predator X27U may be the most compelling we've seen after sifting through dozens of displays. This 27", 240Hz QD-OLED is one of the cheapest ways into next-gen display tech at just $314.99 at Amazon (and at Newegg) right now.
Acer's Predator X27U is one of the most affordable ways into an OLED gaming monitor. With a 240Hz refresh rate, near-instant pixel response time, and 99% DCI-P3 coverage, it's a practically perfect 1440p display.

The Predator X27U stands out at its price point for its 240Hz refresh rate (lesser panels top out at 180Hz), as well as its 99% DCI-P3 gamut coverage for colors that pop alongside the near-perfect inherent contrast of OLED panels generally. This display also has a fully adjustable stand with height, tilt, and pivot adjustments, which is another place where manufacturers tend to cut corners.
If you've been on the fence about getting into a nicer monitor this week, jump on this one while it's still at its all-time low price. -- Jeff Kampman
