Prime Day monitor deals are here, and I'm here to help you find the right screen

Yes, this screen is 1080p, but for under $80, you're getting a 160Hz refresh rate that will give you an edge compared to other budget screens. Normally, the realm of sub $100 panels is reserved for basic 60Hz displays, and this specific display by SANSUI is near record low territory for Prime Day.

I love my curved monitor, but for under $200, you're also getting a 165Hz refresh rate that will give you an edge compared to other screens. You'll see more thanks to the 32-inch display, and hopefully see it faster thanks to that refresh rate.

It's not necessarily a cheap screen, but it is its lowest-ever price, and it comes with plenty to boast of - a massive 32-inch curved display and a speedy 240Hz. It's also got Custom Heatsink, Graphene Film, and a tiny 0.03ms response time.

KOORUI makes some of the top budget gaming screens out there, and seeing the brand's 200Hz panel under $100 is what Prime Day is all about. Basically, you're getting a traditional fast IPS 1080p setup with competitive speeds for around the same price as some standard office panels, meaning you don't have to pay over the odds for enhanced refresh rates.

If you're looking to step up from that cheaper first monitor to 1440p, KOORUI has you covered. The QHD version of its fast IPS 200Hz panel is also joining in Prime Day this year, and you can grab it for a chunk under $200 during the sales.

If you're looking to step into the world of OLED this Prime Day, this Gigabyte model is a great place to start. It offers a respectable 1440p 240Hz panel that has now nosedived under $400 as of this month, making it an ideal option for those of you wanting more vibrant gaming worlds on a slimmer budget.

This speedy 300Hz IPS display has stuck consistently at $280 since arriving at Amazon, but it's now under $200 for Prime Day. It's ideal for those of you who'd rather invest in something speedy over other visual bells and whistles, especially if you're looking for a cheaper high refresh rate screen during the sales.

The shiny new 500Hz version of the fantastic Odyssey OLED G6 is now cheaper, so you can now grab a far speedier screen than the 360Hz original for around the same price. In fact, the slower 240Hz version is sitting at around $100 more without a discount, meaning this is comparatively a solid deal for one of the fastest screens out there.

Serving as a solid value QD-OLED screen this Prime Day, MSI's 27-inch MAG monitor provides solid panel specs for far lower than other brands in previous years. You're getting speedier 280Hz capabilities included in a QHD display that can rival the top brands for around the same price as less impressive budget contenders.

The G8 is still a pricey 32-inch screen as we enter Prime Day, but it is down under $1,000. That's not too shabby for one of the best 4K OLED displays out there with a snappy 240Hz refresh rate, and it was sitting much higher during last year's winter sales. Simply put, if you want a premium contender, Samsung's screen is worth watching.

The Odyssey G9 series is always a spectacle during Prime Day, and this year is no exception. If you're not so fussed about OLED, you can grab the monstrous ultrawide 49-incher for under $700, which will feel like you've bagged multiple, curved 1440Hz 240Hz displays in one.

Here's a budget way into ultrawide gaming, and from Alienware no less. While it doesn't come with an OLED screen, that's to be expected for a monitor of this price.

We've got a soft spot for Sony's Inzone line, and here's one with $100 knocked off. That said, this monitor dropped down to $714 during last June's sales - so if you're not in a hurry, maybe keep an eye on this one a little longer yet.

This is the cheapest we've seen the 27" Strix on Amazon, with Prime Day knocking $200 off its asking price. Even looking off-site, this discount is hard to beat.
