Here’s a deal for anyone who still needs a monitor for working from home or anyone  seeking a second display. Acer’s 23.8-inch KA242Y monitor is on sale at Best Buy for $99.99. That’s $60 off its usual $159.99 asking price.

For under $100, these specs are pretty impressive. With a 23.8-inch IPS display, the KA242Y promises strong viewing angles, which is extra handy if you want to use this as a second monitor. It's not the best gaming monitor on the market, but with 1080p resolution at a 75 Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time and AMD FreeSync, casual gaming is doable.
