The best Amazon Prime Day gaming monitor deals

MSI Optix G272 | 27-inch | 1080p | IPS | 144Hz | $352.60 $119 at Walmart (save $233.60) (opens in new tab)
Normally, a $120 IPS monitor would be, at best a 1080p 75Hz panel. But this is a proper gaming monitor, with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time on its IPS screen. It's also sporting a nicely restrained design, too, with a narrow bezel making it all but frameless on three sides. It's not the brightest, so don't expect any retina-searing visuals, but this is a fantastic budget gaming option.

Acer Nitro XF243Y | 24-inch | 1080p | IPS | 165Hz | $219.99 $149.99 at Best Buy (save $70) (opens in new tab)
The Acer Nitro is another budget IPS screen with genuine gaming credentials. It's got a super low response time at 0.5ms, but a 165Hz refresh rate. It may only be a 24-inch panel, but there's a lot to like about this bargainous display.

Samsung CRG5 | 24-inch | 1080p | VA | 144Hz | $249.99 $149.99 at Newegg (save $100) (opens in new tab)
There are some fantastic budget 1080p gaming monitor deals this Prime Day, and Samsung's curvy CRG5 is definitely one of them. This is a great price for the specs on offer, especially if you're after a curved panel. I'd maybe prefer an IPS screen if the Acer is still on offer, but if you're a Samsung fan, the CRG5 is a great shout.

Samsung Odyssey CRG5 | 27-inch | 1080p | VA | 240Hz | $399.99 $239.99 at Best Buy (save $160) (opens in new tab)
This is one of the older Odyssey screens, but it's still a curvy panel that will deliver an ultra rapid 240Hz refresh rate to give you a bit of an edge in the competitive world of online shooty-shooty, bang-bang. It's not the brightest display out there, at just 300cd/m², but it's a fast, colourful G-Sync compatible 1080p gaming monitor.

Alienware 25 AW 2521HF | 25-inch | 1080p | IPS | 240Hz | $374.98 $259.99 at Amazon (save $114.99) (opens in new tab)
Fancy yourself a competitive gamer? Then maybe you're after a screen that will deliver the highest refresh rate at a resolution that will still allow you to smash out super high frame rates from even a modest PC. That's what the 240Hz Alienware display gives you, and for a good price. It did hit $200 on Black Friday last year, but it's not been as low as this since.

LG Ultragear 27GN800-B | 27-inch | 1440p | IPS | 144Hz  | $349.99 $276.99 at Amazon (save $73) (opens in new tab)
LG is the company who created IPS panels, everyone else has just copied. That means its screens are often excellent, and this 1ms IPS gets around one of the few reasons why anyone would still pick up a TN panel. This LG hits the sweetspots all round: it's 27-inch, 1440p, and has a decently speedy 144Hz refresh. A lot of monitor for that sub-$300 price tag, and this is as cheap as it's ever been.

HP Omen 27i | 27-inch | 1440p | IPS | 165Hz | $509.99 $299.99 at Best Buy (save $210) (opens in new tab)
This is arguably the sweet spot for gaming monitors right now—it's rocking a high refresh rate, low response time, quality IPS panel, and a 1440p native resolution. And, at 27-inch, it's large enough to provide an immersive experience without taking over your desktop. At $300, it's also a bit of a bargain.

HP V28 | 28-inch | 4K | IPS | 60Hz | $379.99 $199.99 at Amazon (save $180) (opens in new tab)
It's not the speediest screen in the world, since it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, but if inexpensive 4K is all you're after this is a pretty darn good deal. Although 28 inches may be a little small for 4K, this one even comes with AMD Freesync technology for smooth frames, and the listing boasts 1ms a response time which is always appreciated. For that price, its definitely worth a look.

Gigabyte M28U | 28-inch | 4K | SS IPS | 144Hz | $649.99 $519.99 at Best Buy (save $130) (opens in new tab)
We're big fans of the big-screen Gigabyte 4K (opens in new tab). It's got a stunning IPS panel that really makes the most of that 4K resolution, and the bonus of the 28-inch size is that the pixel pitch at this resolution is absolutely minute, making for a super clear image. It's also sporting a low 1ms response time and a 144Hz refresh for high resolution PC gaming good times. 

LG Ultragear 32GP83B-B | 32-inch | 1440p | Nano IPS | 165Hz | $499.99 $399.99 at Best Buy (save $100) (opens in new tab)
If you want to go that little bit bigger, you're going to want to make the step up to 32-inches, and the LG Ultragear is a good shout. It's big, with a gaming-centric 1ms IPS panel, and a 165Hz refresh to make it run super slick. And it will run with either AMD FreeSync or Nvidia's G-Sync, too.

Gigabyte M32U | 32-inch | 4K | SS IPS | 144Hz  | $799.99 $749.99 at Newegg (save $50) (opens in new tab)
It's not the biggest saving of the year, by any stretch, but there's something to be said about a sub-$750, vast, 4K monitor with a speedy refresh and a response time of 1ms (MPRT). It comes with Adaptive sync but that doesn't mean Nvidia GPU users won't be able to make the most of it. And this one's a Super Speed IPS, meaning you get the benefit of IPS image quality, along with great speeds.

If you are primarily a PC gamer looking to go big, This Aorus 48-inch OLED 4K display supports 120Hz to get the most out of your GPU and consoles. This has had another significant cut in price, now that a larger model has been announced, and at this price it's a fantastic OLED deal.

Not the biggest discount, but Vizio's line of QLED Smart TVs is already pretty affordable, so any little extra savings is a bonus. While technically only native 60Hz (dynamic motion rate of 120Hz), it does have VRR support, auto game modes, and other gaming features that make it an appealing option for a gaming TV.  

Hisense U7G Quantum Series| 65-inch | 4K | ULED | 120Hz | $899.99 $699.99 at Best Buy (save $200) (opens in new tab)
Hisense makes a surprisingly good (and quite large) gaming TV for under $1,000. It supports 120Hz, so you can plug in your PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and high-end PC and get the most out of your hardware. The one catch is that there are only two HDMI 2.1 ports. We can't have it all, can we?

Samsung QLED Q80 | 55-inch | 4K | Quantum Dot | 120Hz | $1,199.99 $997.99 at Newegg (save $202) (opens in new tab)
It's worth mentioning up front that QLED is not the same as OLED, but Samsung's Quantum Dot filter still generates a vibrant, brightly colored image. And Samsung also sports all the gaming features you could want, with FreeSync support, 120Hz refresh via that HDMI 2.1 connection, and a low latency gaming mode.

The TUF screens have always been good value, and this one is no exception. This IPS panel may only boast 1080p but come with astounding 280Hz refresh rate, this price makes it well worth a look for anyone looking to up their competitiveness in online shooters. Traditionally super-high refresh rates have commanded a high price, even with 1080p TN. But here you're getting a good-looking IPS panel to boot.

Samsung Odyssey G5 Series | 27-inch | 1440p | VA | 144Hz | £299.99 £229.99 at Amazon (save £70 with Prime) (opens in new tab)
This monitor has never been cheaper than this, and delivers a lot of screen for the money, too. You're getting a quality Samsung panel, with a 1440p native res and a 144Hz refresh rate. It's also sporting a tight 1000R curve and a 27-inch display which will just about deliver on the extra immersion that's meant to engender.

Gigabyte G27Q | 27-inch | 1440p | IPS | 144Hz | £339.99 £259.99 at Amazon (save £80) (opens in new tab)
If you're looking for a new panel to compliment your gaming set-up, this is a good choice all around, hitting the sweet spot for a modern gaming monitor at a fantastic price. It's not the fanciest-looking monitor out there, but it boasts 1440p native resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate, and the rich colours more than make up for its rather basic aesthetic. If you're still on the fence, this is as cheap as it's ever been.

LG UltraGear Curved | 34-inch | 1080p | IPS | 144Hz | £449.99 £349.99 at Amazon (save £100) (opens in new tab)
This monitor is a great choice if you want to break into the world of curved monitors. As well as a 1ms response time, this IPS panel has a relatively speedy 144Hz refresh rate. That's a lot of monitor for the £350 price tag, and would be a fine addition to any gaming set-up. Our only note of warning would be that 1080 pixel height can look more restrictive than normal in an ultrawide on the desktop, but will still look great in games.

Iiyama G-Master | 34-inch | 1440p | VA | 144Hz | £420 £354.99 at Amazon (save £65) (opens in new tab)
This is a great price for an ultrawide gaming monitor, and it's never been as cheap as this before. I've got the flat-screen version of the screen, and it's been a great purchase for me. And, though I'm not necessarily a fan of curved panels, on a 3440 x 1440 ultrawide resolution it makes the most sense of any curved screen.
