These cheap monitor deals are perfect for gaming as well as work

If you're going to get any monitor nowadays, it might as well be a gaming-focused one - and monitor sales present a great opportunity to pick them up cheap. So, if you're working from home more often or need another panel for a multi-device or multi-screen setup, then there are a good few on sale. That includes on both sides of the Atlantic, and across the price spectrum too.

Given the general price trends of gaming gear right now - a decline, broadly speaking - and their high quality, gaming monitors are great for everyday use, creative use and work use, as well as for playing games. This is because the best gaming monitors have to produce excellent, sharp picture quality, great contrasts, and exquisite colours from the deepest blacks to the brightest whites. As a result, they are excellent monitors for any use - especially when you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get a reliable screen, or one from a reputable manufacturer.

Highlights of this sale include the very reasonable Acer KG241Q, offering a solid, budget-entry monitor for everyday use as well as possessing good gaming chops. Then there's the ASUS VG279Q - one of our favorite alternative monitors, earning a spot on our best PS4 monitor list. And for those looking to bag one of the best 4K monitors for gaming, the BenQ EL2870U is a great choice for everything and doesn't break the bank either.

You'll find links below for all of these, both for the US and UK.
