This 27-inch Samsung gaming screen isn't much more expensive than an office monitor. But it sports a 180 Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and FreeSync variable refresh. It's a VA panel, which generally means better contrast and deeper blacks than TN or IPS, but viewing angles likely aren't the best.

Two of Alienware's best award-winning QD-OLED gaming monitors plummet to record-low prices
Dell/Alienware has long made excellent monitors, and the company's OLED screens in particular have stuck out in recent years for a combination of price and performance. Today you can snag a swift 27-inch, 360 Hz option or a 280 Hz 34-inch ultrawide for the lowest prices ever.
This 2560 x 1440 screen can hit 360 Hz refresh and sports a 0.03 ms response time. Its color gamut is wider than other OLEDs, and our reviewer called out its plethora of convenience features, noting it "is a near-perfect display for gaming or productivity when space is limited."

You can't go wrong with either of these screens, as we've tested both and both got our Editors' Choice for their performance. The AW2725DF is an older model from 2024, while the AW3426DW launched in the middle of this year and therefore has a newer panel. But both are made by Samsung and feature vivid colors and inky blacks.
On the AW3426DW in particular, our color testing showed that the screen was accurate out of the box, and like most QD-OLED screens, the panel was colorful and well-balanced. If you do, though, want to make a couple of minor adjustments, you can achieve 105% coverage of the DCI-P3 space.
We saw similar results in our testing of the smaller AW2725DF, which again proves that either option is excellent. If you're looking to upgrade your screen for gaming or gaming and productivity, these are two of the best options available -- especially at these record-low price points. — Matt Safford
240 Hz OLED gaming monitor now just $269 — 2560 Acer Nitro with QD panel is $81 off
So many things in the PC space (and pretty much everywhere else) are more expensive these days. But the price of OLED monitors continues to decline, as evidenced by this 27-inch, 240 Hz model (VG277U Xbiip) from Acer's Nitro line. It sports a 240 Hz QD-OLED panel rated at 400 Nits of brightness and a 0.03 ms response time. That's a lot of monitor for the current Walmart asking price of $269.
This mid-sized gaming monitor sports a QD-OLED panel rated at a decent 400 nits of brightness, with a 240 Hz refresh and a resolution of 2560 x 1440. If you're after a gaming screen on a budget and want inky blacks and saturated colors, this is a tough deal to beat.

We haven't tested this monitor, so we can't vouch for its performance. But Acer typically makes solid gaming panels, and the QD-OLED panel ensures that the blacks will be truly black and the colors should be vivid. The 400-nit brightness rating isn't the best for an OLED, but it should be more than sufficient, unless you like to game in a bright, sunlit room.
The VG277U Xbiip has one DisplayPort (1.4) and two HDMI (2.1) ports. The bezels are also barely there, save for a small lip at the bottom. And of course, AMD FreeSync Premium is supported, and you should see smooth performance in gaming with an Nvidia card as well. - Matthew Safford
This 1440p, 27-inch LG gaming monitor is a steal for under $140
While the Big Deal Days haven't technically started, Amazon's deals right now include this LG curved gaming monitor for just $142. The 27-inch LG 27GS60QC-B Ultragear is a good option on a budget and, for less than $150, easily rivals the competition at this price point.
The UltraGear 27GS60QC-B is a 27-inch monitor with a 1440p resolution, 180Hz refresh rate, and 1ms GtG response time. It uses a VA panel and comes with FreeSync support.

You're getting a 27-inch display there with a 1440p resolution, so this is a good upgrade to consider if you're still rocking a 1080p display. It has a 180Hz refresh rate, along with a 1ms GtG response time. It's a VA panel, so you can expect higher contrast and deeper blacks than IPS rivals, and it comes with AMD FreeSync support to eliminate screen tearing completely. - Ben Stockton
Five-star Alienware AW2725DF 360 Hz OLED monitor drops to its lowest-ever price of $469 — get 25% off this ‘near-perfect display for gaming or productivity’
Perhaps it’s the high prices of… pretty much everything else, but we are seeing lots of deals on modestly sized 27-inch monitors this Prime Big Deal Days, and at its lowest-ever price of $469 at Amazon, this one stands out. When we reviewed the AW2725DF, we called it “a near-perfect display for gaming or productivity when space is limited,” and praised the screen for its stunningly fast 360 Hz refresh rate and smoothness, while delivering a wider color gamut than even other OLED monitors.
This 27-inch QD-OLED monitor brings a typical-for-its-size 1440p resolution, but a fast 360 Hz refresh rate, alongside a 1000-nit brightness rating, and a 3-year warranty. In our testing, it also delivered better color than other OLEDs.

When we reviewed this screen in 2024, it beat the next most colorful 27-inch OLED we had tested by 10%, which is enough to notice. And we found the color to be accurate in both DCI-P3 and sRGB, with no need for calibration. Hands down, this is one of the best-looking compact OLED monitors out of the box, and considering it was priced at $900 when we looked at it in 2024, its current sale price is hard to ignore. — Joe Shields
Save an incredible $150 on this Acer 27-inch Nitro 1440p 270Hz IPS gaming monitor
If you aren’t upgrading your RAM, storage, or graphics card because of AI armageddon, there are some excellent monitor deals to keep you occupied in the meantime.
For example, the Acer Nitro (XV270U Z1bmiiprx) is available from Newegg right now for $179.99. It features a 27-inch 2560x1440 (WQHD) IPS panel supporting up to a 270 Hz refresh rate over DisplayPort (144Hz over HDMI). While its brightness isn’t the highest we’ve seen at 250 nits, it does support AMD FreeSync Premium technology to eliminate screen tearing, and it has a fast 0.55ms GTG response time that reduces ghosting. The IPS panel support 99% sRGB color gamut for accurate color reproduction and Acer VisionCare technologies (think blue light shield, flicker-free tech, etc).

The Arzopa Z3FC is a 16.1-inch class portable monitor with a 1440p resolution and a speedy 180 Hz refresh rate

Arzopa is well known for producing quality monitors at affordable prices, and the Z3FC is no exception. I tested the monitor earlier this year and was impressed with its build quality, color performance, and speed. It also helps that it comes with a handy fabric storage sleeve to protect the screen when traveling.
The Z3FC features a relatively large 16.1-inch IPS panel, which is just outside the 15.4-inch baseline for portable monitors. That size affords a 2560 x 1440 resolution instead of the standard 1080p. Add in the 180 Hz refresh rate, up from the standard 60 Hz on most portable monitors, and you have a great monitor you can pair with your Nintendo Switch on the go, or even an Xbox or PlayStation in a pinch. — Brandon Hill

Get into 4K OLED gaming for less with MSI's Pro Max 271UPX12G 120Hz monitor
If you want to get into the crisp motion, deep blacks, and rich color of 4K OLED gaming for less, your options are limited. Most 4K OLED gaming monitors are $750 or more, and we're not seeing a lot of deep discounts on panels with those specs right now. But if you're willing to tolerate a 120Hz refresh rate, MSI's Pro Max 271UPX12G could be a good entry point into this rarefied world. This pro monitor offers a 27" QD-OLED panel with G-Sync Compatible certification. Break the rules and game on it for $579.99.
MSI's Pro Max 271UPX12G 4K OLED monitor isn't marketed as a gaming panel, but it can be one for less if you're willing to break the rules. A 120Hz refresh rate and G-Sync Compatible certification offer smooth gaming along with rich color and deep blacks.
Read moreRead less▼
While a 120Hz refresh rate is a bit low for a hardcore gaming display, it'll still be an upgrade if you're coming from a 60Hz panel. And especially if you plan to drive this display at or near its native resolution with upscaling and aren't a fan of frame generation, the 120Hz refresh rate won't be much of a damper on your gaming experience. Even today's best graphics cards would be hard-pressed to deliver native 4K output at a 120 FPS average in the latest games without frame generation.
The Pro Max 271UPX12G comes factory-calibrated to a Delta E of less than two, and it offers an exceptional 99% coverage of the vivid DCI-P3 color gamut to go with its sharp 4K resolution. It's got two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4a connector, as well as a stand with height, pivot, and swivel adjustments.
If you can compromise slightly on refresh rate, this panel could be a relatively affordable ticket to a 4K OLED at hundreds of dollars less than only slightly faster options. -- Jeff Kampman
AOC 27-inch 280Hz QHD gaming monitor now just $135 — value-priced Q27G41ZE still comes with a 3-year warranty
There are some excellent deals to be had on gaming monitors, and Amazon is currently running a sweet deal on the AOC Q27G41ZE. This is a 27-inch gaming monitor that offers some serious bang for the buck. The monitor typically retails for $159.99, but is currently on sale for $135.99.

For that price, you get a QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS display with a native refresh rate of 240 Hz. However, with overclocking, you can boost the maximum refresh rate to 260 Hz to eke out a bit more performance. However, just take note that the 240 Hz/260 Hz refresh rates are only accessible via the DisplayPort connection. Speaking of ports, you get one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 on the Q27G41ZE.
Other features of note include a 0.03ms response time, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 nits typical brightness, and -3 to +21-degree tilt range. And despite the value pricing, the Q27G41ZE comes backed by a three-year "Zero Bright Dot" warranty. — Brandon Hill
Save over $156 on the ASRock Phantom Gaming 27-inch OLED 2K 240Hz gaming monitor – just $319 lets you jump into high-refresh-rate OLED gaming
OLED gaming displays have been the thing to buy over the last year or two. Since they became available a few years ago, prices have come down considerably. To that point, ASRock’s Phantom Gaming (PG027QSA-W) 27-inch QHD/2K monitor is now $319, a solid $156 (32%) off the retail price at Newegg.

It also has four inputs (2x DisplayPort, 2x HDMI) for plenty of flexibility. It also comes with a built in stand with tilt, swivel, height, and pivot adjustments.
At just over $319, it is one of the least expensive in its size and type and a great upgrade for anyone not already using a high refresh-rate OLED. The best news is that your current video card will likely still handle it, unlike 4K OLEDs. - Joe Shields
Get a QD-OLED monitor for just $280 with this 27-inch, 1440p display with a 144Hz refresh rate
QD-OLED monitors are dropping in price, and Amazon has a particularly good deal going right now on AOC's 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED display. Unlike most 27-inch, 1440p OLED displays, this monitor tops out at a 144Hz refresh rate. The typical 240Hz refresh rate you see on this panel is available, as well, though at a higher $332.49 price. We saw this monitor on sale earlier in the week at $300, and it was a good deal then. An extra $20 off is even better.
This AOC monitor is a 27-inch QD-OLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 and a refresh rate of 144Hz. AOC rates the response time at 0.03ms, and the monitor comes with G-Sync Compatible certification.

There are other displays rocking this same panel that are on sale, but they're all more expensive than this AOC monitor. The MSI Pro Max 271QPX14G is $300 on sale, for instance. As with any QD-OLED panel, this monitor has perfect black levels, leading to a theoretically infinite contrast ratio. OLED panels also have extremely fast pixel transition times, leading to those sub-millisecond response time claims.
AOC claims 147.6% coverage of the sRGB and 110.2% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamuts (OLED panels are wide-gamut). For connectivity, AOC includes a single HDMI 2.1 and single DisplayPort 1.4 connection, allow with a 3.5mm audio out. — Jake Roach
LG’s massive 45-inch 45GX950A-B dual-mode OLED gaming monitor gets a $700 discount
Ultra-wide monitors are a great productivity enhancer, giving you more horizontal workspace. That’s especially true of the LG Ultragear 45GX950A-B, a 45-inch gaming monitor currently priced at $1,299.99, down from a high of $1,999.99.
The LG Ultragear 45GX950A-B is a 45-inch OLED monitor with a 5120 x 2160 resolution, which operates at 165 Hz natively, or 330 Hz at WFHD.

The 45GX950A-B features a 21:9 aspect ratio, 5,120 x 2,160 resolution, and, most importantly, a WOLED panel. Not only do you get the brilliant colors inherent to OLEDs, but the underlying WOLED panel technology also skews toward higher brightness (1,300-nit peak in this case).
Regarding performance, the 45GX950A-B can operate at up to 165 Hz at its native resolution, but jumps to 330 Hz at WFHD (2560 x 1080).

MSI's new MPG271QR X50 monitor hasn't seen a sale yet, but Newegg has the display available at a $50 discount during its FantasTech sale, brining the price to $599.99.

Even at its launch price of $699.99, we gave the MPG271QR X50 a near perfect score in our review. As you can see from the color testing we did as part of that review below, the MPG271QR offers excellent color accuracy out of the box, matching similar panels from Asus and Aorus.
In SDR, we measured typical brightness at 303 nits, which is on the lower-end for 1440p QD-OLED panels, though still within a normal range. In HDR, we measured peak brightness at 505 nits, aligning with other 500Hz QD-OLED panels from Asus and Aorus. Note that peak highlights can reach 1,000 nits, though only for small portions of the screen. — Jake Roach

Samsung had the display certified with VESA's DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification (typical for this class of OLED), as well as AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync Compatible certification. We haven't reviewed this particular model, but most of Samsung's QD-OLED displays can reach their advertised peak 1,000-nit brightness in HDR, and they're generally color accurate out of the box (true of most OLED panels). — Jake Roach

Newegg has the MSI MAG 275UPD marked down to $220 for its FantasTech Sale II. It's a dual-mode 4K display that normally operates at 4K with a 144Hz refresh rate.

MSI is using an IPS panel, so you should expect peak brightness to top out around 400 nits, and static contrast to sit around 1,000:1. MSI says the monitor is "HDR ready," though most IPS panels struggle with HDR, particularly at this budget price.
Despite being a budget display, MSI still includes an adjustable stand with tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustments, along with a standard 100 x 100 VESA mount. MSI also includes dual 2W speakers, and although you shouldn't expect great quality out of them, monitor speakers are nice to have as a fallback. — Jake Roach

Samsung had the monitor certified with a AMD FreeSync Premium (along with a G-Sync Compatible badge), and passed it through VESA's DisplayHDR 400 tier. Note the DisplayHDR 400 tier doesn't require any specific lighting zones or strict contrast requirements, so you shouldn't expect great HDR performance.
The included stand offers height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments, as well as the ability to hold the display vertically. Note that the poor reviews on Newegg are related to a limited-time game promotion, not the monitor itself; the negative reviews are very positive about the display itself. — Jake Roach

For connectivity, you get two HDMI 2.0 ports and a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection. The included stand offers no points of adjustment, but thankfully, there's a standard 100 x 100 mm VESA mount on the back so you can throw the monitor on an arm. — Jake Roach

This $273 1440p, 320 Hz Mini LED monitor is rated to 1000 nits — Innocn GA27T1M is the brightest budget gaming monitor of our current dealscape
Innocn might not be the most well-known brand in gaming screens, but it feels like the company is attempting to burn its name into your brain (or at least your retinas) with this $273 deal on its 27-inch GA27T1M monitor. The panel is HDR1000-rated and brings all 1,000 of the requisite candelas to hit that spec, thanks to its QD-MiniLED tech. If you like bright gaming screens and are on a tight budget, this is the best deal around. Just be sure to locate the brightness control before your first raid, especially if you're gaming in the dark.
The 1,000-nit, 1440p Mini LED panel in this monitor can hit 320 Hz refresh, supports variable refresh rates, and has a 0.5 ms GTG response time. Its colors might not be as vivid as an OLED, but you'll definitely see them, even in the brightest sunlit rooms.

You could spend a little more and get a budget OLED monitor, but you'd have to spend a lot more to get an OLED that's this bright and can hit 320 Hz. And of course, with a Mini LED screen, you don't have to worry about burn-in. But also note that Innocn's warranty is only 12 months, while three years is more typical, particularly for OLED screens.
Asus' 27-inch, 1440p OLED XG27AQDMGR gaming monitor drops to a new low of $384 — 1300-nit HDR screen is $50 below its previous lowest price
Asus makes some of the best gaming monitors on the market, but they're also often some of the most expensive. But that's not the case today, as Amazon is selling the 27-inch OLED XG27AQDMGR for just $384, a new low price by $50. The 1440p WOLED screen sports a 240 Hz refresh rate and has a peak brightness rating of 1,300 nits.
This mid-sized, mid-range OLED gaming monitor is well equipped for speed and vibrance, covering 99% of the DCI-P3 color space, with a 0.03 ms gray-to-gray response time rating. A proximity sensor turns the screen off when you step away to help prevent burn-in, and it has a three-year warranty.

This is expressly labeled as a glossy OLED screen, which means you'll need to deal with reflections in a bright room or with overhead lighting. But the high brightness rating should help mitigate those issues somewhat. And of course, the glossy coating will help those OLED colors visually pop even more.

Asus 16.1-inch ZenScreen OLED portable monitor is a smokin' bargain at $229 — USB-C and HDMI connectivity with an integrated kickstand
The ZenScreen OLED (MQ16FC) is the latest single-panel portable monitor from Asus, and it’s a winner all around. The best thing about it is that it features a gorgeous OLED panel that is not only vibrant and colorful, but also has the inky blacks that we expect from the panel technology. You'll also find a smidge more vertical resolution than most portable monitors thanks to its 1920 x 1200 resolution (FHD+). And you can get the monitor now for $218.49, a 22% discount off its usual asking price at Amazon.

KYY K3 portable monitor now just $55 — 15.6-inch 1080p value leader is discounted 20%
Sometimes, all you need is a cheap second screen to carry around when traveling, to add a second screen to your desktop, or to use on a test rig. In those instances, you might not be looking for the absolute best quality screen on the market, but one that will get the job done at the lowest possible price. Enter the KYY K3 portable monitor, which is priced at just $55.99 (versus a regular retail price of $69.99).
The KYY K3 is a 15.6-inch portable monitor with a 1080p resolution. It features two USB-C ports, one HDMI port, and a screen cover that doubles as a stand.

The K3 features a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS panel with a 60 Hz refresh rate and an anti-glare coating over the display. It covers the basics with two USB-C ports (DisplayPort Alt-Mode) and a mini-HDMI port. That means that the monitor should be compatible with just about any system that you throw at it, from a smartphone, to a tablet, to a PC, to a Raspberry Pi, to an Xbox game console. Despite the low price, it even features two built-in speakers and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
One knock against the K3 is that it doesn't have an integrated kickstand, so you'll have to rely on the included case/stand to prop the monitor into various positions. But for $55, it's hard to argue with the overall package from KYY.

Dell drops the bottom out of monitor pricing with four hot deals
Dell is well known for its big deals during shopping events like Prime Day, and this year has been no exception as we have seen it lower its pricing on a range of both gaming and productivity monitors.

LG's premium 27-inch RGB Tandem OLED 540 Hz/720 Hz dual-mode gaming monitor is down to $634.99
High-refresh-rate gaming monitors are all the rage these days, with LG being one of the top panel suppliers in the business. It should come as no surprise that LG would include these panels in its own line of gaming monitors, which brings us to this early Prime Day deal on the 27GX790B-B. The monitor originally had an MSRP of $999 but is already available for over $350 off, bringing the price to just $634.99 at Amazon.
The LG 27GX790B-B is definitely a high-end "premium" monitor, featuring an RGB Tandem OLED panel with a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) resolution. More importantly, the panel has a native refresh rate of 540 Hz, which is already among the fastest available. However, if you're willing to drop the resolution to 720p (we're looking at you, eSports fiends), you can boost the refresh rate to a staggering 720 Hz. If you have the graphics muscle to handle pushing out 700+ FPS and you're willing to accept 720p resolution, this one's for you.

On a tight budget? Sceptre’s E225W-FW144 has you covered with a 22-inch, 144 Hz variable refresh option for just $61
With the price of so many other components in the stratosphere, it’s refreshing to see an actual gaming monitor (and one from a brand I’ve actually heard of, no less) priced at just $61.73 at Amazon. The Sceptre E225W-FW144 is normally $72.97, so don’t expect loads of features or a large screen. But the 22-inch VA panel does offer variable refresh and a max refresh of 144 Hz. That’s more than you’ll get from most models in this price range.
There’s no denying this is a no-frills gaming monitor. But you do get 1080p resolution in a 22-inch VA panel, with 144 Hz variable refresh and a 250-nit brightness rating, and a VESA mount around back.

Port selection is more or less the minimum, with a pair of HDMI (hey, that’s more than one!), DisplayPort, and an audio jack. The ports are nicely color-coded though, in a way that reminds me of PC tech from a couple decades ago.
There are also speakers here, but I can’t imagine anyone with ears would enjoy them, since speakers in monitors that cost four times as much are usually bad. You’re probably better off using whatever Bluetooth speaker you use in the shower. Just make sure you bring the speaker from the shower to the monitor and not the other way around. But to be serious, in these days of high prices everywhere, it’s nice to see something that’s shockingly affordable. — Matt Safford
