Best Prime Day 2023 Monitor Deals - CNET
There are a ton of monitor sales going on during the week of Amazon Prime Day, just as there are during any major sale season (I’m looking at you, Black Friday), and a surprisingly large number of decent ones. I’ve done my best to narrow the field to a small set of solid monitor deals that I’m comfortable recommending, but it’s by no means comprehensive.
I’ve seen more new-to-market models with discounts than usual (notably LG): They stand out in a sea of old models that companies are trying to sell off. This isn’t a static list, though, so check back to see updates with new recommendations, expired prices and out-of-stock sadness.

This 27-inch OLED display is a great general-purpose model that’s equally suitable for gaming, graphics and work, with a ton of features for each of those — from calibration software to high-refresh rate (with OLED’s fast pixel response) to reading-friendly high contrast.

This is an excellent price for a monitor at this size, resolution and refresh rate, combined with other perks like speakers (though don’t expect good quality sound), a broad 95% P3 color gamut (and Acer usually does a fair job with its factory calibration) and above-average brightness (peak 400 nits). Plus Acer’s Nitro series — its mainstream gaming line — is generally reliable and well liked.
