Cyber Week gaming monitor deals 2025: Cheap screens, OLED, ultrawide, or 4K, it's all here

This is pretty much the cheapest I'd pay for a monitor before wondering what's wrong with it. Luckily, with this MSI panel, it's a surprisingly capable little screen (and I mean little at 23.8 inches). For its price, it's got a solid response time, and the 100 Hz refresh rate isn't awful either. It's even IPS. For a very budget rig or a nice second monitor, this is an excellent choice.

Offering a high refresh rate and quick response time for (literally just) under $100 makes this Lenovo panel a solid choice. That's especially true now that it's at its lowest ever price.

Why do monitor model names need to be so confusing? It's an eternal mystery. But if you can decode this Acer, you'll find it's a cracking deal. A 165 Hz gaming monitor for just over $100. Yes, it's VA, but at this price point, something's gotta give.

You might not like the VA panel and its low brightness, but you'll surely like the speed and price tag. 250 Hz, 0.5 ms pixel time, and adaptive sync will all help to ensure you get super-silky gaming. It's only available at this price from Micro Center, but if you need it shipped, both Best Buy and Walmart have it for just $4 more.

Another monitor with competitive aspirations, this AOC panel has a blazing-fast refresh rate, plus a great response time, and this one even comes with a 1500R curve, for better immersion. You are paying more for a snappier response time and curve, but it's a solid choice regardless of which you pick.

If you're on a tight budget, this will get you a decently sized 1440p monitor for a real bargain price. It even has a higher-than-60 Hz refresh rate. Okay, 100 Hz isn't spectacular, but it is still notably smoother than 60 Hz. It's also not the brightest screen, rated at 250 nits peak, but the compromises will have to come in somewhere.

Key specs: 27-inch | 100 Hz | 1 ms | IPS

A truly budget way of getting a 1440p monitor, this MSI model has a 27-inch screen, 300 nits of peak brightness, is FreeSync enabled, and has a response time of 1 ms. You may notice some of that price point in the 'fine' 100 Hz response time, but otherwise, this is a solid choice.

Key specs: 27-inch | 100 Hz | 1 ms | IPS

This gaming monitor has an IPS panel capable of delivering 180 Hz. The 1440p resolution means you're getting a bit of a bump up over 1080p, too, which puts this monitor right in the sweet spot for modern PC gaming.

This Acer monitor is a steal for all you prospective competitive gamers, hitting a high refresh rate and low response time sweet spot (0.5-1 ms gray-to-gray). It's the same price as the Odyssey G5 below, but it is better for those of you who prefer an IPS panel to a VA.

This LG screen comes in at a respectable 32 inches and comes with a sharp resolution, high refresh rate, and a strong response time. That 1000R curve is certainly tight, which should make it very immersive, but also not great for a backseat gamer.

Okay, these Acer monitor names are a bad joke. But bear with us, because this screen has loads to offer. The main attraction is a 240 Hz 1440p panel with 1 ms response times. That's pretty much the ideal real-world 16:9 gaming solution. Just take great care with what you're ordering and those model names.

Acer's $200+ 1440p monitor shows its more premium price point in an up to 240 Hz refresh rate and up to 0.5 ms response time. Both of these combine to make a very smooth gaming experience. You just need to make sure you have a good enough rig to match the refresh rate with your fps. This is a little more than the curvy one above, but if you just want a flat 27-incher this is a better bet for 240 Hz.

It doesn't get much better than this, folks. A 4K, 27-inch gaming monitor for a cent under $200. It's an IPS panel, with a 1 ms response time, and is what's known as a dual mode monitor. That means it runs at both 4K/144 Hz and 1080p/288 Hz. Perfect for blending both competitive gaming with immersive singleplayer gaming. Use promo code BFEFE82 to get the full discount.

Gigabyte is a staple of the budget 4K monitor market, and the biggest reason it gets removed from our deals list is that it occasionally sells out. This 27-inch 4K panel is a great price, with some good specs to go alongside it.

At its current price, this Acer Nitro is a genuine bargain. By comparison, Alienware's fancy QD-OLED 34-inch panel is around $800 even on sale. This Acer matches its size, resolution, aspect ratio and refresh rate for less than one-third of the price, although of course, it is a VA panel, not an OLED. It's also not the brightest gaming monitor ever, but it is a very good deal.

34-inch ultrawide 1440p gaming remains one of our firm favourites. It's a great compromise between lots of detail and decent frame rates. This Samsung panel gives you all that with 3,440 by 1,440 pixels, 165 Hz refresh, and 1 ms response, alongside a heavy curve. It's not the brightest at 250 nits. But if you can live with that, it's an awful lot of monitor for the money.

At its current price, this LG ultrawide is a genuine bargain (though not as good as it has been before). By comparison, Alienware's fancy QD-OLED 34-inch panel is around $800 even on sale. This LG matches its size, resolution, aspect ratio, and refresh rate for less than one-third of the price, although, of course, it is a VA panel, not an OLED.

Of all the big and wide Samsung monitors on this page, this is the biggest and the widest. It's basically two 4K screens stuck together, and Mini-LED ones at that. It's still a huge amount of cash (and personally, I'd have to buy a whole new desk for this wideboi), but this is a great saving on it.

OLED really makes a huge difference to the way games look, and it's fantastic that impressive OLED monitors are finally starting to hit a lower price point. AOC's model has a 1440p resolution with a 240 Hz refresh rate, a semi-glossy panel coating, and fast-as-you-like response times—so it not only looks great, but feels speedy, too.

One of our all-time favorite gaming monitors, the Alienware AW3423DWF is a QD-OLED, 34-inch ultrawide beauty with a glossy coating that makes all your games look absolutely sumptuous. It's still the best budget ultrawide OLED money can buy, especially with this heavy of a discount.

OLED gaming monitors are mana for your eyes, thanks to their luscious colors, zero backlights that ruin dark areas, and an ultra-fast response time. The original price for this 1440p OLED from MSI was far too high, but this deal solves that problem entirely.

The AW3425DW is very similar to the Alienware model further up the page in specs, but with a 240 Hz refresh rate and a redesigned stand and surround. So, if you're the sort that demands the very highest of refresh rates for online gaming shenanigans and don't mind paying some extra cash for the privilege, this is the one to pick.

Ah, what a beauty. This 32-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor is the sort of thing dreams are made of, thanks to its excellent color reproduction, superb contrast, and sheer size. A good 32-inch display is a wonderful thing to game on, and this is certainly one of those. Plus, being a 165 Hz refresh rate model, it's a lot cheaper than the 240 Hz equivalent. In fact, this is the cheapest we've found this screen for to date, making it a mega deal worth some serious consideration.

QD-OLED gaming monitors provide some of the most stunning image quality you can get out of a panel these days, and this 34-inch ultrawide beauty really shows off the tech at its best. It's our new best ultrawide OLED gaming monitor pick, and while we thought it was too expensive in our review, it's now at a much more reasonable price. I want one. So do you, probably.

Big, bold, and beautiful. MSI's MPG 321URX isn't just some expensive monitor for gaming; it's a genuinely fantastic display that's great for work and play. If you want to step up into the world of 4K OLED, stop right here and just buy this screen. We don't rate this the best gaming monitor for nothing, you know.

If you need a cheap second monitor, or just something to start off your PC gaming hobby for as little as possible, this 1080p display from Koorui is perfect. For less than £70, you're getting an IPS display with a 200 Hz refresh rate. That's just bonkers, mate.

Key specs: 24-inch | 1080p | 200 Hz | 1 ms | IPS

A 1440p panel with a super speedy refresh rate and a snappy response time, this is a bit of a banger for less than £140. Being 27 inches, it's a bit small, but it's still a lot of monitor for not that much. It does have a slight curve to it, though, so make sure that's the kind of screen you're looking for.

It's true, 1440p monitors really are amazing value these days. Plus, a graphics card capable of running modern games at this resolution won't cost you more than a car. This option comes with a very capable 200 Hz IPS panel and can be pushed another 10 Hz via overclocking if you so wish. Not bad for the price, eh?

Key specs: 27-inch | 1440p | 200 Hz | 1 ms | IPS

A high refresh rate panel that doesn't demand a powerful graphics card to make the most of it. That's what this Lenovo panel is all about. It's not going to be suited to everyone's tastes—I'd rather a higher resolution, lower refresh panel myself—but the combination of 240 Hz and 0.5 ms response time might appeal to the competitive gamers out there.

Key specs: 27-inch | 1080p | 240 Hz | 0.5 ms | VA

If you thought decent ultrawides were expensive, I'm happy to prove you wrong. VA panel, of course, but otherwise this wide boi has very little wrong with it for the cash. That 180 Hz refresh rate is very nice to see at this price.

This Alienware is a good blend of resolution (1440p) and refresh rate (280 Hz) for competitive gaming without going full 'turn your settings to low and sit two inches from a 24-inch 1080p screen'. It's an OLED, with a lush picture quality, and the response time is a snappy 0.03 ms.

LG makes some of our favourite gaming monitors, and this 4K IPS panel is part of its UltraGear line, of which we are very much fans. The 144 Hz refresh rate might not be the fastest, but it's still plenty speedy for most, and otherwise, this panel has near-flawless specs for the cash. Okay, it's not an OLED, but it's one of the best IPS around.

Key specs: 32-inch | 4K | 144 Hz | 1 ms | IPS

The code names given to monitors are often impenetrable, but the difference between this MAG 322UP and the MAG 321UPX is that this one has a 165 Hz refresh instead of 240 Hz. That's the only difference between this and the more expensive one. If you're not concerned about the refresh rate difference (and do you have the hardware to hit a matching 240 fps otherwise?), then this is where the smart OLED money is spent.
