Best Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals live 2025 — hot Black Friday sales on monitors from Amazon, Newegg, Dell, Best Buy, and more that you can still get

In terms of resolution, this FHD 1920×1080 display is adequate considering its size, making it more ideal to be used as a secondary monitor for productivity or media playback. In terms of ports, you get one D-sub and an HDMI 1.4 port, meaning there’s no DisplayPort connector here, either. You also get a 3.5mm headphone jack, and you might get some use out of it, considering there are no speakers to be found here. It’s a purely no-frills display, and the current pricing at Newegg means that you could arm yourself with a secondary display on the cheap. — Sayem Ahmed

Just because the display is relatively cheap for the price doesn’t mean it’s got some heft under the hood. In addition to 99% sRGB coverage, the Odyssey G4 has a maximum brightness of 400 nits, so you can expect HDR10 support. While the FHD IPS panel might be seen as a negative to some, for competitive games, you want to really saturate that monitor’s refresh rate, and a lower resolution will do just that.

So, if you’re looking for a competitive gaming monitor, this should absolutely be on your list. Larger capable 1080p panels are becoming rarer, so this might be a bit of a unicorn. — Sayem Ahmed

Equipped with a decent 144Hz refresh rate, the panel offers FreeSync Premium Pro, in addition to a 1ms MPRT, and 400 nits of typical brightness. There’s also support for Samsung’s “Ultrawide game view”, which allows you to switch up the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 21:9, if you want the ultrawide experience while using a traditional monitor.

In terms of ports, expect two HDMI 2.1 ports, in addition to a DisplayPort 1.4 connector, and built-in speakers. At half the original price, this may be a fantastic pickup for those in a dorm room looking for a larger display to double as a TV, or if you have a larger desk. — Sayem Ahmed

The sub-$100 price tag is less than half what the monitor cost when we first reviewed it in 2022. The 13K1F features two USB-C ports (DisplayPort Alt Mode supported), a mini-USB port, and a magnetic kickstand that attaches to the back of the monitor. Innocn also includes a USB-C to USB-C and a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable. There are also speakers onboard if you want to blast some tunes while you work. — Brandon Hill

The cool thing about the Odyssey 3D is that it can be used in both 3D without glasses and in regular 2D mode. Basically, it’s a top-notch 4K gaming monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate, Adaptive Sync, and HDR10. It’s surprisingly bright, reaching almost 500 nits.

Yes, you can get better specs and panels for around $200. But if your budget can’t stretch that far, this is one of the best deals we’ve seen down in the true budget range. It’s certainly better than gaming on an old office monitor, and doesn’t cost much more. — Matt Safford

This is a VA panel, which some will see as a downside. But if you’re sitting directly in front of this 1500R curved display (which you will likely be while gaming), VA tends to deliver better black levels and color depth than cheaper IPS screens.

The C345B-QUT168 also has RGB lighting on its rear for some ambient gaming glow, as well as four ports. The two HDMI ports top out at 100 Hz, so if you want that ultra-smooth 165 Hz (or more with overdrive), you’ll need to use one of the two DisplaPorts. There’s also an audio out jack, which you’ll probably want to use over the built-in speakers.

In addition, you’ll find support for HDR 600, with the monitor covering 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and reaching a maximum brightness of 600 nits. Multiple input options exist, including two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 input. A handful of USB ports are also available, including one USB Type-B upstream port and two downstream USB Type-A ports.

Although we often see QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution in a 27-inch monitor, the MAG 275UPD ups the ante with a 4K (3840 x 2160) IPS panel with a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz. Although we haven’t yet tested the MAG 275UPD, MSI claims that it covers 130 per cent of sRGB and 90 per cent of DCI-P3. In addition, you’ll find two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4a port. If that wasn’t enough, there are also two built-in 2-watt speakers.

One other item of note is that the MAG 275UPD supports a dual-mode refresh rate. While the monitor supports up to 144 Hz at 4K resolution, it can reach a maximum of 288 Hz if you step down to Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. — Brandon Hill

Along with a 27-inch QD-OLED panel, which is the better of the two rival OLED technologies, this Acer Predator X27U display features a 280Hz refresh rate. That means you can expect fast, fluid motion when you’re playing games, thanks to its support for AMD FreeSync Premium, which syncs your GPU with the monitor’s refresh rate to eliminate screen tearing.

Along with a top-rate panel, you’re getting two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 connections, meaning you can hook up a PC and several consoles or handhelds to this monitor at once. As 1440p OLED monitors go, $399 is an absolute steal, and you’ll find it hard to find a display that matches these specs for this price. This stock will be flying off the shelves, so don’t miss out. –Ben Stockton

Yes, you can get better specs and panels for around $200. But if your budget can’t stretch that far, this is one of the best deals we’ve seen down in the true budget gaming monitor range. It’s certainly better than gaming on an old office monitor, and doesn’t cost much more. — Matt Safford

Now, here’s the kicker. It’s a VA panel, so you can’t expect perfect color uniformity across the whole panel. While this isn’t a deal-breaker, it does affect the image quality on offer here. However, if you’re looking for a capable monitor that can push out a high refresh rate, this might be a great option for you.

The one thing that I would keep in mind if considering using a TV as a monitor. You’ll almost certainly want to wall-mount the screen — especially if you’re going bigger than 42 inches. And paying for a wall mount that lets you pull the screen forward, away from the wall when watching TV or gaming is a good way to effectively get a screen that looks bigger when you aren’t working, but still small enough to keep any neck pain at bay when you’re churning through TPS reports. So make sure to budget for a good TV mount (and maybe a drill and some good bolts) before buying. — Matt Safford

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 $149. — Ben Stockton

This is an absolutely outrageous buy for anyone who wants to buy one monitor and simply never think about display real estate ever again. Here’s how it performed in our benchmarks:

As you can see this monitor is no slouch, with snappy response times and very low input lag, a real premium pick. – Stephen Warwick

In addition to its handy dual-mode options, the XG27UCG-W offers 95% DCI-P3 coverage for highly saturated colors in games, as well as a max SDR brightness of 400 cd/m2, which is practically retina-searing at 100%. It also has Asus’ variable overdrive tech, which matches the amount of overdrive applied in response to the variable refresh rate for the crispest motion throughout its VRR range. You can even turn on Extreme Low Motion Blur black-frame insertion in tandem with VRR for potentially even crisper motion.

The XG27UCG-W also offers USB-C input support via DisplayPort Alt Mode and 15W charging if you need to dock a laptop in a pinch, and its stand has a handy tripod socket on top so that you can install streaming gear securely. Asus wraps this display in a striking white shell that will stand out in any setup, too. Treat yourself to a versatile display upgrade this holiday deals season. – Jeff Kampman

With its IPS panel, FHD resolution, 180Hz refresh rate, and compact 24-inch size, don’t mistake the PX248 Prime for being inferior just because it’s affordable. Sure, it’s not gonna win any awards for being the biggest, brightest, or best-looking panel out there, but with a 1ms GtG response time in-hand, alongside a peak brightness of 300 nits, and FreeSync Premium support, it’s more than capable for gaming in a pinch. If you have a more modest 1080p gaming setup, it suits that well, too. At under $100, it’s a dead ringer to add as a secondary display. — Sayem Ahmed

The QHD (2560×1440) IPS panel has a 1ms (MPRT) response time, and a 180 Hz refresh rate helps minimize ghosting. Colors should be vibrant, with the monitor covering 99% of the sRGB color space and 90% of the DCI-P3 color space. It’s also HDR400 certified for more vivid images and better color accuracy. I/O ports include two HDMI (v2.0) ports, one DisplayPort (v1.4), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and speakers. Sorry, no USB ports.

It has everything you’d expect from a budget gaming monitor, like plenty of up-to-date connectivity and a great IPS image. And while the image quality is not quite the awesomeness of OLED, you’re also not paying anywhere close to the price, and you don’t have to worry about burn-in. – Joe Shields

For your money, you’re getting a 1080p-capable monitor, which, considering the latest Steam hardware surveys show the majority of gamers are still playing at 1080p, isn’t that bad. It uses an IPS panel, which offers good viewing angles, and includes AMD FreeSync support, meaning your monitor will sync with your GPU to ensure you don’t see any unusual screen tearing while you play. There’s also a tilt and height-adjustable stand, which isn’t always a given on monitors as cheap as this.

As Black Friday bargains go, this is the kind of monitor I’d be looking to pick up on a budget, especially as it comes from a well-known brand. —Ben Stockton

With Walmart slashing the price of this display by 47%, you’re getting a heck of a bargain with these specs. 1080p might seem basic, but as I regularly remind anyone who listens, it’s still the majority option for gamers, based on the last Steam hardware survey, meaning you can game with this display using an older PC, too.

To help you play, this display comes with a refresh rate that maxes out at 144Hz using its overclock mode, with a standard rate of 120Hz. Combined with AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync support, which will sync your refresh rate to your GPU’s frame rate, you should experience smooth, fluid visuals with no screen tearing on this display.

Ultimately, though, it’s the cost that will drive people to a monitor like this. $89 makes it one of the cheapest models available right now from a brand you’d recognize. If you want a quick, cheap monitor upgrade during this Black Friday weekend, I’d pick this one. — Ben Stockton

This monitor should deliver excellent HDR performance and will look buttery smooth a high frame rates thanks to its 240Hz refresh rate. Round the back, you get 2 HDMI ports as well as USB ports. Discounted a few days ago, this is the lowest-ever price we’ve seen on this model. — Stephen Warwick
