Best OLED monitor deals: Get an OLED screen from just $450

There’s been a big push lately to have the best gaming PC with the best GPU, but the truth is, there’s no point having a powerful graphics card if you don’t have a good monitor to match. One of the best you can get is OLED monitors that give you superior color fidelity and contrast, and much like OLED TVs, are the next level when it comes to monitor tech. They are still relatively new, so there aren’t a ton of options except from some of the bigger monitor brands like LG, Samsung and Alienware.

That’s why we’ve gone out and scoured all the major retailers and brands to find our favorite OLED monitor deals out there and compiled them below. That said, if you haven’t quite found what you’re looking for or feel you aren’t ready for an OLED monitor, be sure to check out some of these other great monitor deals, including options from Samsung monitor deals. Also, if you don’t already own a high-end PC, you may want to check out these gaming PC deals and Alienware deals.

Acer has been known for its excellent gaming laptops and other gaming gear, so it’s not a surprise that its gaming monitors are also pretty excellent. This Asus ROG Swift monitor is an impressive 34-inch big, runs a 2k resolution, and has an impressive 240Hz refresh rate, which is often hard to hit on higher resolutions consistently. Even more impressive is maintaining the 0.03 millisecond response time at those refresh rates and resolutions, so this is a solid monitor for those who want the smoothest OLED experience for gaming while still being near the $1,000 price bracket.

If you want a truly wide ultrawide, then this massive 49-inch GIGABYTE OLED monitor is going for an excellent price, especially since it’s pretty rare to find something this big for under $1,000 with the specs it had. It runs a DQHD resolution and can handle an impressive 144Hz refresh rate, which is probably the most you’d get anyway if you want to also push the graphics, even on an RTX 4090 which may still struggle. It has FreeSync Premium Pro to help with screen tearing and ghosting, as well as HDR, although the non-HDR peak brightness is 250nits, which isn’t great but should still manage in a moderately-lit room.

LG UltraGear 45-inch ultrawide gaming monitor — $1,545 $1,699 9% off

While OLED monitors remain pretty expensive, even in the budget range, this LG UltraGear OLED curved gaming monitor is probably one the cheapest you’re going to find for a larger ultrawide with such a fast refresh rate. It has a WQHD resolution and can hit a whopping 240Hz, which is perfect for competitive e-sports players, and while the 0.03ms response time isn’t the lowest you can find, most competitive gamers will likely not notice the difference. It also comes with both FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC, as well as HDR400, although it’s worth noting that HDR on monitors isn’t quite at the level of the average TV HDR just yet.
