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.View Deal

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.View Deal

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

Need a new monitor on the cheap? This all-time-low $118 option from ViewSonic sports a 27-inch, 1440p VA panel and 100 Hz variable refresh

ViewSonic VS2725-2K on a populated desk with a phone and a drink — (Image credit: ViewSonic)

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

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.View Deal

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

This 16-inch IPS portable monitor with a built-in kickstand is on sale for just $71

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.

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.View Deal

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.

Get that second monitor you’ve been looking for under $90 – save $60 (40%) on the Acer KB272-27 27-inch, 120Hz, FHD monitor during Prime Day 2026

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 $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.View Deal

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

The OLED monitor I’m starting at right now is on sale at an all-time low

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.

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.View Deal

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

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.

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.View Deal

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

Add some touchscreen to your setup

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.

MSI’s 27-inch, 144Hz, 1080p gaming/office monitor is now a mere $109.99 – office by day, gaming dominance at night

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.

Snag MSI’s Pro MP273L E14 27-inch 144Hz IPS gaming/office monitor at an all-time low o $89.99.View Deal

On the other hand, the display features a 144Hz high-refresh-rate IPS panel with a 1ms (MPRT) response time. This configuration supports AMD FreeSync to minimize screen tearing and ghosting. 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

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

The Alienware 34 QD-OLED was the first mainstream QD-OLED monitor, and the updated version sporting a newer QD-OLED panel and faster 240Hz refresh rate is on sale for its lowest price ever for Prime Day. You can get the monitor for $629.99, which is 21% off its list price of $799.99.

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

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. That upgrade doesn’t have to be expensive during this Prime Day period, though. Newegg has MSI’s 240Hz MAG 245F X24 display for just $97.99 right now.

The Asus ROG Strix 27-inch OLED (XG27AQDMGR) 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.View Deal

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

This 120Hz travel display might not be any good, but at $70, it’s worth a shot

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.

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

Get MSI’s 500Hz MAG 272QP X50 display for unparalleled gaming smoothness at an all-time low price

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 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.

The Acer Predator X27U is a value-priced 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution and 240 Hz refresh rate.View Deal

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.

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.

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

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. View Deal

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
