Graphic designers, programmers or anyone who appreciates high resolution and a wide screen knows the right monitor can make a difference. From curved screens to wow your coworkers with your setup to blue light filters for reducing eye strain, we’ve chosen the best deals on today’s high-quality monitors. Although some of these monitors are marketed as for gaming, the fast refresh rate could make a difference to video content creators of many kinds, too.

We chose “the best deals” based on user reviews of the product’s quality, the features and specs available for your buck and the depth of the discount. We also took into consideration the base price of the item compared to its competitors. These deals don’t require Amazon Prime.

Samsung Odyssey G3: Best performance for your buck

Price on sale: $119.99 (usually $199.99)

This monitor will work for doing business, for taking classes from home or for some casual gaming. We chose it because of the $80 you can save, and because it is a good middle ground between going for a cheap, no-name monitor or breaking the bank on something that might be overkill if you need it mostly for meetings and the Microsoft 365 suite. Reviewers say the image quality is splendid, and that the stand can easily be adjusted up or down.

Acer EZ321Q: Best for long work days

Price on sale: $159.99 (usually $199.99)

This widescreen display adds style to any desk. This monitor is made for long-haul work days, with its blue light reducer, “flicker-less” screen and reduced reflections. It doesn’t have the refresh rate of the gaming laptops on this list, but if your job doesn’t require a refresh rate like that and you’re looking for a relatively large monitor for work, the Acer EZ321Q is a reliable choice.

Samsung Odyssey G50D: Best for color

Price on sale: $329.99 (usually $429.99)

Amazon has taken 35% off this mid-range gaming monitor. For work, the Samsung Odyssey G50D offers an adjustable, tiltable stand, Eye Saver Mode to reduce blue light exposure over time and protection against screen flicker. Reviewers say this monitor has good picture quality; some critique the design of the menu, saying it can be difficult to navigate at first.

LG UltraGear QHD: Best for high performance

Price on sale: $349.99 (usually $499.99)

A higher price compared to the other monitors on this list gets you a higher refresh rate, a 1 millisecond response time, IPS panels for wider viewing angles, and accurate colors including more readable blacks. This monitor can double as a gaming monitor if you want to use it both to get the job done and to wind down after work.

Acer Nitro KG241Y: Best second screen

Price on sale: $119.99 (usually $172.99)

This gaming monitor started out at a relatively affordable price of just under $200, and the deal cuts that down to $119.99. For that great price, you get a decent HD monitor. Reviewers point out it makes a very good second screen, so if you’re looking for some extra space and want something that doesn’t look cheap or break the bank, this might be a good pick. It may not be appropriate for high-end graphic design or content creation work.
