Samsung Odyssey Ark 55-inch | $2,699.99 $1,399 at B&H Photo
Save $1,300 - I had to double take on this Samsung Odyssey Ark deal, as B&H Photo has roundhouse kicked it down to a new record low. It's practically half price, and decimates previous offers that brought it down to $1,799.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want one of the biggest monitors
✅ You're looking for something ultra immersive
✅ You play racing games using a wheel and pedals

Don't buy it if:

❌ You only need a conventional monitor
❌ You want a screen that'll fit on a normal desk

Price check: Amazon $2,799 | Walmart $1.799

Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 43-inch | $999 $499 at Best Buy
Save $500 - I'm a big fan of Samsung Odyssey screens at the best of times, but this larger 4K 144Hz monitor has a staggering $500 off. It's perfect for those of you that have the room for a monitor bigger than your grandma's TV, and it's the lowest price we've seen on this high spec screen.

Buy it if: 

✅ You want cutting edge specs
✅ You play FPS games at 4K

Don't buy it if:

Dough Spectrum One 27-inch (glossy) | $699.99 $599.99 at B&H Photo
Save $100 - This glossy 4K 144Hz screen by Dough (formerly Eve) has $100 off thanks to Black Friday, and it's a new record low for the high spec panel. The idea of a non-matte display may sound odd, but it'll help produce more saturated colors than traditional coatings.

Buy it if:

Buy it if: 

✅ You want cutting edge specs
