Save 32% ($79) Asus TUF Gaming 27-Inch Gaming Monitor (VG27AQ): was $249 now $170 at Amazon 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.

Save 35% ($80) Samsung 27-inch Odyssey G30D 180Hz Gaming Monitor: was $229.99 now $149.99 at Amazon 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.

Get notified of updates 2026-06-24T16:02:29.979Z 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 .

Save 21% ($25) Dell 24 SE2426HG: was $119.99 now $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.

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.

The ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQWMG is a premium 27-inch gaming monitor with a 1440p Tandem OLED panel. The monitor launched at $649 and is now priced at just $549 on Amazon, which is an amazing price given its capabilities.

Save 15% ($100) Asus XG27AQWMG: was $649 now $549 at Amazon The Asus ROG Strix XG27AQWMG offers a 27-inch 1440p 280 Hz Tandem OLED panel and offers excellent color performance.

It features an ultra-fast 280 Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time, delivering exceptionally smooth motion and minimal blur. We reviewed the monitor earlier this year, and it hit all the right notes in terms of performance. Not only was color performance off the charts, but it had incredibly low input lag. And given the underlying WOLED technology, the XG27AQWMG excels in delivering high brightness levels that most QD-OLEDs can’t match. — Brandon Hill

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.

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

With the price of so many other components in the stratosphere, it’s refreshing to see an actual gaming monitor (and one from a brand I’ve actually heard of, no less) priced at just $59.97 at Amazon . The Sceptre E225W-FW144 is normally $72, so don’t expect loads of features or a large screen. But the 22-inch VA panel does offer variable refresh and a max refresh of 144 Hz. That’s more than you’ll get from most models in this price range.

Save 18% ($13) Sceptre E225W-FW144: was $72.97 now $59.97 at Amazon There’s no denying this is a no-frills gaming monitor. But you do get 1080p resolution in a 22-inch VA panel, with 144 Hz variable refresh and a 250-nit brightness rating, and a VESA mount around back.

Port selection is more or less the minimum, with a pair of HDMI (hey, that’s more than one!), DisplayPort, and an audio jack. The ports are nicely color-coded though, in a way that reminds me of PC tech from a couple decades ago. There are also speakers here, but I can’t imagine anyone with ears would enjoy them, since speakers in monitors that cost four times as much are usually bad. You’re probably better off using whatever Bluetooth speaker you use in the shower. Just make sure you bring the speaker from the shower to the monitor and not the other way around. But to be serious, in these days of high prices everywhere, it’s nice to see something that’s shockingly affordable.

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.

Alienware AW2725DF OLED Gaming Monitor: was $649.99 now $484.99 at Amazon 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, 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.

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 $449 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.

Save 31% ($200) Asus ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR: was $649 now $449 at Amazon 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

If you're after a massive ultra-wide monitor without paying Samsung money, MSI's ultrawide MPG 491CQP has dropped to $699 at Newegg, its lowest price this year. With a QD-OLED panel for deep blacks and vivid colors, it also brings a 144 Hz refresh rate, 90 W USB-C charging, and the pixel real estate of two 1440p screens (5120 x 1440).

Save 18% ($150) MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED 49 Inch DQHD Curved Gaming Monitor: was $849.99 now $699.99 at Newegg Get a 5120 x 1440 monitor with OLED panel, 144Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms GtG response time, Display HDR True Black 400, and a bunch of ports.

You'll need a big desk for this bad boy, but its 1800R curve helps the 49-inch screen take up less horizontal space. You get the usual pair of HDMI (2.1) ports and a DisplayPort 1.4a, along with a two-port USB hub/KMV switch that lets you control multiple PCs with the same peripherals, plugged into the monitor. Of course, MSI bundles in its own burn in protections, and there's a three-year warranty in case you have hardware issues.

If you’re after a budget gaming monitor that doesn’t make major compromises, and your budget tops out around $100, ASRock’s Phantom Gaming PG27FFT1A just might be your best option this Prime Day. It’s a 27-inch IPS with a 180 Hz top refresh rate, variable refresh, and an impressive brightness rating of 450 nits. The latter spec is something I’d expect to see in a monitor that costs three times as much – most budget screens are rated to around 250 nits. This is a whole lot of monitor for its lowest-ever sale price of $93 at Newegg .

Save 41% ($66.22) ASRock Phantom Gaming PG27FFT1A: was $159.99 now $93.77 at Newegg This 27-inch IPS gaming monitor sports a max refresh of 180 Hz, 1080p resolution, and a high brightness rating (for a budget screen) of 450 nits. It has two HDMI ports and a DisplayPort connector, and ASRock rates it to deliver 123% of the sRGB color gamut.

The most obvious limitation here is the 1920 x 1080 resolution, which many will find less than ideal on a 27-inch panel. But you’d have to pay at least $30 more to get a 1440p gaming monitor in this class, and you’ll typically have to settle for a VA panel (better contrast, but worse viewing angles and colors than IPS, generally) and less brightness than the PG27FFT1A delivers. This is arguably the best budget monitor deal I’ve seen this deals season. – Matt Safford

I regularly defend 1080p gamers (I've even doing it in this very blog) but that doesn't mean you have to settle for 1080p. There are some stonkingly good deals on 1440p gaming monitors out there right now, including this Acer Nitro KG271U display, which Amazon has dropped in price to less than $140.

Save 25% ($45) Acer Nitro KG271U N3bmiipx: was $179.99 now $134.99 at Amazon This Acer Nitro KG271U gaming monitor is a 1440p display with an IPS panel and a 180Hz refresh rate. It has two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.2 connections, along with AMD FreeSync support to eliminate screen tears

This formidable display is 27 inches wide and uses an IPS panel, which offers better viewing angles and no color distortion, at least compared to rival tech. A top resolution of 2,560 x 1,440, combined with a 180Hz refresh rate, make this a fine option for gaming, with the boost from 1080p ensuring that you enjoy sharper visuals and finer details in any big cinematic games you play.

It even offers HDR 10 support, so you can enjoy HDR content (including in-game) for improved contrast levels and more vibrant colors. This Acer Nitro KG271U display is a worthy option for gaming, either as your main display or as a secondary, especially for just $135. — Ben Stockton

Another monitor to keep an eye on is the Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SF. It is yet another brilliant monitor with a QD-OLED panel, but this one has some more impressive specs up its sleeve. It has a QHD resolution, but has a maximum refresh rate of 500 Hz. So, if you have the graphics muscle to push that kind of frame rate in eSports titles, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better monitor at this price point.

Save 40% ($400) Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SF: was $999.99 now $599.99 at Amazon The Odyssey OLED G6 G60SF is a 27-inch QD-OLED monitor that aims to impress with a QHD resolution and a 500 Hz refresh rate.

The G60SF retails for $999.99, but is currently on sale with a 40 percent discount, taking it to just $599.99 for Prime Day at Amazon . Samsung says the G60SF is also DisplayHDR True Black 500-certified and offers 1,000 nits of peak brightness. – Brandon Hill

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 $657.77 , which is $47% off its normal list price.

The G80SD’s OLED panel features Quantum Dot enhancement, delivering vibrant colors, deep blacks, and wide color coverage. It offers a 240 Hz refresh rate and features an ultra-fast 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time, making it ideal for competitive gaming on high-end PC setups. It is also compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync for smooth, tear-free gameplay.

Save 47% ($592.22) Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) : was $1,249.99 now $657.77 at Amazon The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) is a great 32-inch-class monitor sporting a 4K 240 Hz QD-OLED display.

You’ll also find HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort connectivity, while Samsung's OLED Glare-Free coating helps reduce reflections. 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

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 $237.99 at Amazon ( and at Best Buy ).

ViewSonic VX2730D-4K 27" dual-mode 4K gaming monitor ViewSonic's VX2730D-4K is a colorful, versatile dual-mode 4K gaming monitor with 144Hz 4K and 288Hz 1080p modes, and it's the cheapest such display you'll find right now.

In addition to its dual-mode versatility, the VX2730D offers vivid color wth 98% DCI-P3 coverage, and it has impressive color accuracy both out of the box and with calibration. It has a single DisplayPort 1.4 connector and two HDMI 2.1 ports for consoles, and it supports both G-Sync Compatible and FreeSync variable refresh rates for tear-free gaming.

The only missing feature for those who don't game is an sRGB emulation mode for photo and web work. But if you just want to enjoy games in colorful, high-refresh-rate 1080p and 4K glory in one flexible monitor, this is an awesome deal. — Jeff Kampman

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 Z3FC: was $169.99 now $137.74 at Amazon The Arzopa Z3FC is a 16.1-inch class portable monitor with a 1440p resolution and a speedy 180 Hz refresh rate

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

If you’re looking for value in the OLED gaming monitors segment, we have some good news for you. Thanks to OLED panels flooding the market and newer OLED technologies seemingly arriving every month, we have great deals on monitors like the Acer Predator X27U, which is currently selling for $314.99 at Amazon, a significant discount from its usual $549.99 asking price.

Acer Predator X27U W1bmiipprx: was $549.99 now $314.99 at Amazon The Acer Predator X27U is a value-priced 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate.

Any time OLED monitors, especially with a QD-OLED panel, dip below $400, we start taking notice. And in the case of the X27U, it’s even closer to the $300 mark. You’ll get a 26.5-inch panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a speedy 240 Hz refresh rate. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium and comes with two HDMI 2.1 ports and a single DisplayPort 1.4 hookup. It also has a full range of tilt, swivel, and height adjustments.

The X27U is a relatively low-frills QD-OLED monitor, but at this price point, it’s hard to complain given its fundamentals.

For years, the goal has been a high refresh rate 1440p display under $200, and now we’re starting to see them. The 200Hz Gigabyte M27Q2 normally sells for $280, which is a decent price considering its specs and Superspeed IPS panel. But on Newegg, you can get it for $159.99 right now , which is a 42% discount off its list price.

Save 43% ($120) Gigabyte M27Q2: was $279.99 now $159.99 at Newegg The Gigabyte M27Q2 is a 27-inch 1440p monitor with a 200Hz refresh rate. It comes with an adjustable stand a built-in KVM switch.

The display comes with a host of goodies that are surprising for the price, including an adjustable stand with swivel, pivot, height, and tilt adjustments, along with a USB-C input and built-in KVM switch. The display also comes with FreeSync Premium and a G-Sync Compatible badge.

Given that this is a Superspeed IPS display, you shouldn’t expect the jaw-dropping contrast of an OLED. But Gigabyte tries to enhance the color with a layer of quantum dots, and IPS panels are largely lauded for their color accuracy. — Jake Roach

If 240 Hz refresh rates combined with near-instant OLED response times still doesn't provide a smooth, clear, or responsive enough image for your gaming pleasure, MSI has the display for you with the MAG 272QP X50. This is a 500Hz 1440p QD-OLED panel for unparalleled motion clarity and smoothness, and it's at an all-time low price of $599.99 at Amazon this Prime Day .

We pride ourselves here at Tom’s Hardware on finding good deals on good products so we’re not just slinging slop with the highest discount. This WUAWE portable monitor is pretty compelling, though. It’s a 16-inch travel display sporting a 1920 x 1200 resolution (16:10), and critically, a 120Hz refresh rate. There are plenty of cheap portable monitors under $100, but this is the only one we could find with a 120Hz refresh rate – and it's just $69.99 right now .

Save 22% WUAWE 16-inch 120Hz Travel Monitor: was $89.99 now $69.99 at Amazon The 16-inch WUAWE portable travel monitor sports a 1920 x 1200 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

The monitor comes with a built-in kickstand that apparently supports landscape and portrait modes. It can connect via USB-C or mini-HDMI, but you’ll need to supply power over USB-C for the latter. The display actually comes with two USB-C ports in the event you want to connect multiple devices.

You shouldn’t expect any miracles out of the image; I’m expecting quite the opposite. But this is a dirt-cheap, high-refresh-rate display for traveling, and that’s good enough considering the price. And, worst case, you get free returns. — Jake Roach

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 .

Save 31% ($200) Asus XG27AQDMGR: was $649 now $449 at Amazon 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

If you're still gaming on a 1080p 60Hz display in 2026, it's well past time for a higher-refresh-rate upgrade for smoother, more responsive gaming.

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

Monitors are one item that hasn’t been affected by the AI boom and subsequent lack of memory, and you can still get them at reasonable prices. Prime Day 2026 brings us a great deal, including this Samsung 49-inch curved (1800R) VA display, now only $699 (from $999). The G91F is a huge monitor with a 5120 x 1440-pixel (DualQHD) 32:9 panel, a fast 144 Hz refresh rate (1ms GTG response time), and AMD FreeSync Premium for a smooth image during fast action. You can even play games and watch Twitch or a movie at the same time with Samsung’s Picture by Picture mode.

Hardware-wise, the panel supports HDR 600 (250-nit brightness), uses DisplayPort and two HDMI ports for video connectivity, two USB Type-A ports for service and data, and also has 3.5mm jack for headphones (output). I always wanted one of these massive curved monitors for immersive gaming (and productivity work), and it looks like now is the time I need to bite. – Joe Shields

This slick business/gaming crossover model, now priced at $109.99, promises a blend of features suitable for the office, like the MSI Power Link feature (to turn on a compatible MSI mini-PC – attaches to the VESA mount in back – by the monitor’s power button), EyesErgo tech (blue light, anti-flicker/glare), and even an accessory slot on the base for small peripheral storage.

Save 16% ($20.99) MSI Pro MP273L E14: was $129.99 now $109 at Newegg Snag MSI's Pro MP273L E14 27-inch 144Hz IPS gaming/office monitor at an all-time low o $89.99.

For connectivity, it includes HDMI (v2.0) and a legacy VGA connector, but notably lacks DisplayPort. You will need to use HDMI to reach 144Hz.

For only $109.99 (16% off!), the Pro MP273L E14 monitor is an excellent value, equally adept at efficient office work during the day and intense, high-energy gaming sessions at night. But the real deal is in the low price. Get it now, before it expires. – Joe Shields

Over the weekend, this discount on the Corsair Xeneon Edge has been extremely popular. This 14.5-inch display is a desktop extension you can add to a PC case or anywhere on your desk. You can show apps like Spotify or YouTube, or pair it with iCUE to show off internal monitoring metrics like CPU and GPU temps. Best of all, it doubles as a touchscreen, letting you manipulate the items displayed.

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.

Save 32% ($315.99) LG 27GX790B-B: was $999.99 now $684 at Amazon 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

I recently made the switch from a plain old LED monitor to this fantastic OLED from Samsung. I bought the 32-inch version of the G81SF, and I honestly can't believe how good the image quality and color are. It has transformed gaming on both my PC and my Xbox Series X, and the build quality really shines. Right now in the U.S. at Amazon, the 27-inch model is $699.99. That's the lowest price ever on either model at Amazon.

Save 46% ($600.99) Samsung Samsung 27-Inch Odyssey Qd-Oled G8 : was $1,299.99 now $699 at Amazon Get a 4K 240Hz monitor with 0.03ms GtG response time, a premium matte finish, and strong build quality. Also available in 32-inches for just $110 more.

Headline specs for the G81SF include 4K resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync support, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort connectivity, and a USB port. Burn-in is less of a concern on OLED numbers these days, but Samsung has still added its Safeguard+ Dynamic Cooling system, which features a Pulsating Heat Pipe that releases coolant to dissipate heat five times faster than a graphite sheet. It also comes with a three-year warranty that includes burn-in coverage, although expect usual caveats about fair usage, etc, to apply. — Stephen Warwick

If you’re in the market for a basic second (or third, or fourth) monitor for Prime Day 2026 , take a look at the 27-inch Acer KB272-27 monitor. Currently priced at only $89.99 , a savings of $60 (40%), this IPS panel runs up to a 120Hz refresh rate and is AMD FreeSync compatible, minimizing screen tearing.

The IPS panel supports a wide color gamut, 99% sRGB, and 250-nit brightness for accurate, vibrant colors. Connectivity consists of an HDMI (v.2.1) and an old-school VGA port (sorry, no USB ports). Note, you’ll need to use the HDMI port for full 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 40% ($60) Acer KB272-27 27-inch Monitor: was $149.99 now $89.99 at Amazon 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 upgrading from 1080p 60 Hz, this Acer is one of the best deals around. – Joe Shields

It turns out that some things are as affordable as they were back in 2024. I picked up this 16-inch Veout portable display during Black Friday of that year, and the screen is back down to the price I paid for it then, just $71. Its 16:10 aspect ratio makes it a little bigger than most portable monitors, and the handy aluminum kickstand feels as sturdy as the rest of the metal frame.

Save 25% ($23.75) Veout VE-1: was $94.99 now $71.24 at Amazon This 16-inch IPS portable monitor sports a 1920 x 1200 resolution, a built-in kickstand, is just 0.3 inches thick and weighs 1.58 pounds. You'll want to get a case for it, but this is a great screen for productivity on the go.

It isn’t the cheapest portable monitor, but I still think it’s one of the best values around, given it’s an IPS panel rated to 300 candelas, with a nice metal shell and kickstand, plus its larger size. It also comes in different colors for about $5 more. After using this screen off and on for well over a year, my only real complaint is that the kickstand’s orientation isn’t great for portrait orientation. It’s a bit tipsy when vertical, despite the product images prominently showing it in both orientations.

It’s easy to get excited about high-end OLED displays with fast refresh rates and other premium features. But a lot of us can’t afford the best, and sometimes you just need a solid monitor that does a good-enough job at productivity and gaming. Enter ViewSonic’s VS2725-2K , a 27-inch, 1440 screen with basic looks but slim bezels, which is on sale for Prime Day at an all-time low (at least at Amazon) price of $118

Save 15% ($21) ViewSonic VS2725-2K: was $139.99 now $118.99 at Amazon This 27-inch, 1440p monitor sports 2560 x 1440 resolution, and a variable refresh that tops out at 100Hz, with a brightness rating of 250 nits. It’s a VA panel, which means extra contrast for those right in front of the screen, but viewing angles won’t be as good as an IPS display.

This isn’t a gaming monitor per se, but with variable refresh and a top speed of 100 Hz, it should serve casual and occasional gamers well, especially if you like good contrast but can’t afford a pricier OLED monitor. Connectivity consists of a pair of HDMI ports, a DisplayPort, and a headphone jack. There are also 2.5-watt speakers, but unless the most you ever do is watch occasional short videos, you should definitely consider one of the best PC speakers we’ve tested. — Matt Safford

If you’re in the market for a monitor upgrade, Prime Day 2026 has you covered. Jump up to the 27-inch Asus TUF QHD (2560×1440) 300Hz fast IPS monitor for only $199.00 (33% / $100 off). The VG27AQM5A sports a fast IPS panel, speakers, a swivel-and-tilt stand, and several features like Asus ELMB (Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync), which works with other variable refresh rate technologies it supports, like AMD Freesync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync, to eliminate ghosting and screen tearing for sharp visuals in gaming.

Connectivity consists of a single DisplayPort, two HDMI ports, and a USB-C port, ensuring wide compatibility with a variety of input sources. While there are a lot of deals out there for Prime Day, this is the only 300Hz, QHD, Fast IPS panel under $200 we could find. Get it before it’s too late. — Matt Safford

The Asus ROG Strix XG279CNS kicks off our Prime Day blog with the firm's 27-inch panel retailing for a mere $229, a 23% discount off its normal $299 price tag.

Save 23% Asus ROG Strix XG279CNS: was $299 now $229 at Amazon 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 specifically 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
