Just a few hours left for Prime Day curved gaming monitor deals
Cyberpunk 2077 running on the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9.

While calling it "Prime Day" is a sort of a misnomer, as the event should technically be called "Prime Days" since it covers the 16th and 17th, all things must come to an end. And now, you have hours, not days, to finish selecting your purchases for Prime Day. That means that hot Prime Day monitor deals are ending soon. Here, we want to take a look at the best of one of your very favorite categories, the curved gaming monitor. These three Prime Day deals, from Amazon as well as from Samsung and Best Buy -- who both happen to be having "Black Friday in July" sales on the exact days Prime Day is going on -- are some of the best going on. While there's always a chance that some deals will sneak past Prime Day, odds are your time is limited to pick up these offers.

Don’t forget. You can save big on a replacement Apple Pencil 2 for Prime Day

It's easy to think of Prime Day as the time to pick up new goodies and, from time to time, to check out if that expensive new tech item has dropped down to an affordable price. What we often forget is that Prime Day deals are also a great way to pick up essentials, extras, and replacement items. Right now, this Apple Prime Day deal on the Apple Pencil 2 is a perfect example of that spirit in action. Normally $129, the price has dropped by $50 on the humble Apple Pencil 2, bringing it to $79. Whether you've lost your old one, want a backup, or need a fresh one to go with the iPad Prime Day deal you picked up, now is the time to get an Apple Pencil 2. Tap the button below to pick yours up now, or keep reading to see what makes the Apple Pencil 2 special.

 
Why you should buy the Apple Pencil 2
The number one reason you should buy the Apple Pencil 2 right now is to have a backup or to replace your lost or stolen one while the price is low. But there's always the chance that you haven't had an Apple Pencil 2 before, in which case you should know how it operates. While we'll leave it to our Apple Pencil 2 review to cover the fine details, you should know that the pen detects tilt and pressure as you write. When combined with the low latency of the pen's connection with your tablet, you'll find that writing with it feels very fluid and lifelike. The Apple Pencil 2's convenient wireless charging lets it charge while it is attached to the edge of your iPad, the most likely spot you'd ever want to put it, making having a charged Apple Pencil 2 a thoughtless exercise.
