With an early wave of Cyber Monday savings now live, we're rounding up the best gaming monitors to watch and the deals currently live that you can't miss.
Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals: 4K
4K gaming remains increasingly popular for gaming monitors, with many high-end PC hardware delivering high-resolution gameplay at smooth framerates. While this category includes some of the best monitors on the market, including many nearing $1,000, you also have affordable alternatives for tighter budgets. Your options at 4K resolution are also more varied than ever, including some among the best monitors for Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles.
Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals: 1440p
1440p delivers an ideal middle ground for gaming, delivering a higher resolution than standard high-definition displays, without the added performance tax imposed by 4K. High refresh rates are also more affordable within this price bracket, making it easy to prioritize smooth, responsive gameplay in first-person shooters and other action-heavy titles.
With a 1000R curve, 240Hz refresh rate, HDR, and a 1440p native resolution, the Samsung Odyssey G7 is one of the best gaming monitors you can get your hands on for Cyber Monday. Add in that it doubles as an excellent companion for Xbox Series X and PS5 gamers, and you've got a heck of a deal.
We have our favorites in the current 1440p gaming monitor space, including popular 27-inch devices like the LG UltraGear 27GL850-B, ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ, and Razer Raptor 27, each delivering 1440p visuals up to 144Hz resolution.
Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals: 1080p
Cyber Monday should bring deals for those in the 1080p market, including many budget options hitting their lowest prices to date. Lower 1080p resolution monitors are ideal for competitive titles where latency and responsiveness are critical, with some stellar options offering higher frame rates at reasonable prices. You can also find incredible value among these panels, delivering high contrast and colors at much more accessible prices.
Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals: Ultrawide
If you currently run multiple monitors then have you considered an ultrawide instead? Today's top PC games all support ultrawide screen ratios and in some, like shooters or sim racers, the benefits of a much wider field of view speak for themselves.
When do Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals begin?
Cyber Monday might be a special day for online deals, but more retailers are stretching savings across multiple weeks. We've found Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and more among the many retailers promoting discounts ahead of Cyber Monday. That also applies to gaming monitors, including some available at all-time lows ahead of the holidays. Cyber Monday officially falls on Nov. 26, and while we're expecting more sales to come, we're not expecting further drastic reductions across many big-ticket product categories.
