Black Friday monitor deals will kick off next month, and I'd use the sale to upgrade your gaming screen setup. While some of you will be seeking savings on the latest panels packing an OLED punch or hitting lofty refresh rates, I'll be keeping watch for displays to suit all budgets as we approach the big sale.

Whether you're searching for the best gaming monitor on the market, the cheapest OLED available, or an affordable IPS display, Black Friday will have you covered. I'm fully expecting screens across the price spectrum to drop to new record lows, including fancy new 4K QD-OLED models and budget 1080p panels. Your pennies should also stretch further this year when picking up a new display, as the resolution and refresh rate bar is now higher than ever.

When will Black Friday gaming monitor deals start?

Black Friday gaming monitor deals are going to kick off on November 28 in 2025. It's always that Friday after Thanksgiving, so at least we can prepare for the date in advance. As ever though, we are likely to see deals coming thick and fast before the big day itself - get in position to pull any triggers at least a week before, and perhaps even earlier.

Where will the best Black Friday gaming monitors deals be?

There's little debate that Amazon and Dell lead the charge when it comes to some of the best and most bombastic Black Friday gaming monitor deals available, though big-box stores have been catching up in recent years; Best Buy and Walmart have offered their fair share of savings on premium panels, too.

US:
Amazon: Regular discounts on a large variety of monitors in all styles
Dell: Huge savings on Dell productivity and Alienware gaming monitors
Best Buy: Deals on MSI Optix, Samsung, Acer, and Lenovo panels
Walmart: Frequent sales on LG, Asus, Samsung, and other makes
Newegg: Selection can be a little more limited, but deals are generally good

First things first, premium gaming monitors are almost guaranteed to get a price cut. Out of all the screens out there right now, the LG UltraGear 32GS95UE-B is the one that could be a game-changer this Black Friday. At full price, it'll set you back $1,399.99, and we're already seeing discounts take it down under $1,000. There's every chance the dual 4K/1080p resolution panel will become a star buy and drop under $1,000, but it'll likely take a couple of months for it to drop.

There are now also plenty of smaller, high refresh rate OLED screens to keep an eye on, too. One of last year's top models, the Samsung Odyssey G6, has reached a lower price point and now comes in 240Hz and 320Hz flavors, and it's a great, vibrant option for those of you with 1440p setups. You'll be looking to pay potentially under $500 this Black Friday for one of these displays, as I've already spotted nice price cuts of that nature throughout 2025.

You've also got the Sony Inzone M10S serving up 1440p 480Hz abilities, and it strikes a nice balance between competitive specs and fidelity. It's certainly one of the priciest 27-inch screens out there, but I've got every hope that Black Friday will kick it well under $1,000.

On the cheaper side of things, you'll absolutely want to keep an eye on brands like KTC. It's always worth doing your homework in regards to 'Amazon brands', but if our KTC G27P6 review is anything to go by, you'll be able to grab an outstanding 1440p 240Hz OLED screen for significantly less than branded alternatives. We'll be keeping an eye out for even cheaper screens that don't compromise on specs too, so watch this space for more reviews and benchmarks.

During events like Black Friday, you'll no doubt see plenty of brands at Amazon that you've never heard of. New names seem to pop up by the second, but there are a few that have actually been making monitors for decades. I've also tested extremely cheap models like the Koorui GN02 that provide excellent 1080p 240Hz abilities for the money, but it's best to check in for specific budget models worth picking up.

Should I wait for Black Friday to buy a gaming monitor?

The best gaming monitor deals will likely emerge during Black Friday, but that's not to say you should wait. Exceptional discounts are known to pop up before and after the annual event, and holding off could simply mean you end up paying a similar price. We'll keep you up to speed with any offers that pop up before November, and if a monitor drops to its lowest price, you'll be the first to know.

Are gaming monitors overpriced?

It may feel like gaming monitors are overpriced, but it's important to consider what each screen offers in terms of specs. For example, if you're eyeing up a cutting edge 4K screen with a 240Hz refresh rate, you're going to pay top dollar. However, if you're savvy when it comes to pairing the right specs with your console or PC of choice, you'll be able to narrow down displays that better fit your budget. That's going to be key when it comes to finding Black Friday deals, as while a screen with $1,000 off sounds attractive, not everyone is looking to spend more than a few hundred dollars in the first place.
