The best gaming monitors are all about fast reaction times. They sport high refresh rates (measured in ‘Hz’) and quick response times, or the time that it takes to change a pixel’s color. Some gamers like curved gaming monitors for the added immersion, as well. Note that this section is reserved for average-sized gaming monitors. For ultrawide gaming monitors, continue on to the next section, which covers ultrawides. Here’s an overview of the best deals, within these constraints, that we were able to find:

  • 24-inch MSI G244F —
  • 24-inch Samsung Odyssey G3 —

Whether you just want a ton of windows open on the same screen or need a truly immersive gaming experience, you need to check out what an ultrawide monitor can do for you. As they are so large, it should come as no surprise that ultrawides are often found amongst the best curved monitors.

How to choose the right monitor

We’ve already detailed how to choose the best monitor for your needs in a very general sense. Every single factor from size to panel and backlighting type are covered in exhaustive detail.

However, if you’re looking at monitor deals and trying to make sense of what category of monitor to buy or what to zero in on, we can help you with that here. Here’s how to choose a category, above, to shop:

Shop 4K monitor deals if you have relatively average needs. As mentioned above, 4K is essentially the new standard. You should be able to get a good one for just a few hundred dollars while on sale, and there is no need to pay a ton unless they have an impressive color gamut, LED type, or other interesting feature.

Despite their name, gaming monitor deals are for everybody. While some gaming monitors have features like fps trackers and toggleable always-on aiming reticules, the main thing that sets them apart is their high refresh rates. These high refresh rates make action in games look smoother, but will also be pleasant if you like to watch action movies or sports on your computer. The best TVs also have high refresh rates for this same reason.

Ultrawide monitors are for a special type of person and aren’t quite analogous to getting a big screen TV. Sometimes getting an ultrawide can be getting too much of a good thing, especially if you can get two smaller monitors for a cheaper price. They’ll also stream in a really funky manner if you share your screen with friends. But if you are the type that wants an ultrawide, can handle the size, and wants the experience, ultrawide monitors can provide a truly immersive experience you won’t get anywhere else. This is especially true of curved ultrawide monitors, which are often curved in a way that mimics the shape of the eye, creating a cool, relaxing effect.

LG’s 48-inch OLED monitor is has an $800 price cut today

We find gaming PC deals pretty much every week, and we’re even happier when we get to spotlight a handful of exceptional gaming monitors to go along with your new PC purchase. Monitor deals are some of our favorites, and we found one for the history books: For a limited time, you’ll be able to take home the LG 48-inch UltraGear OLED Monitor for just $700 when you purchase through LG. At full price, this amazing display once cost $1,500, so you can consider this an $800 markdown!

Why you should buy the LG 48-inch OLED monitor
Perhaps we should start with a tiny breakdown of OLED technology: The acronym stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode, which refers to an OLED’s self-emissive pixel makeup. Unlike the zoned layouts of LED backlighting, individual OLED pixels can be powered on or off. This delivers some of the most accurate colors and contrast, as well as deep, inky black levels. Such is the case with the LG UltraGear, which also delivers 4K resolution, pushes a 120Hz refresh rate, and is capable of 0.1ms response times. Any discerning PC gamer will tell you that those are some rock-solid specs!
