Laptops offer plenty of portability, but it can be difficult to work on as little as 13.3 inches of screen for hours on end. That’s where a big, bright monitor becomes a must-have for your home office. I recently added an extra monitor to my laptop setup and it’s a game-changer. We’ve gone ahead and put together some of the best monitor deals we could find to help you out.
We’ve split the best monitor deals into two sections: Gaming monitors and standard monitors. Gaming monitors are often a bit wider and more powerful with higher refresh rates. You won’t find curved monitors on this list though, as they’re about as popular as curved TVs have turned out to be.
Featured deals: Acer 24-inch FHD monitors from $109.99
I recently picked up a 23.8-inch Full HD monitor as a second screen to my laptop, and it’s been a gamechanger. Amazon’s Deal of the Day is your chance to do the same, with two excellent Acer monitors on offer until midnight.
The more affordable of the two is the Acer R240HY 23.8-inch IPS widescreen monitor, which is available for just $109.99 ($20 off). This Full HD option has 178-degree viewing angles and a Zero Edge design to give you maximum screen visibility, as well as an ergonomic tilt — something my new display lacks.

Best monitor deals
All of these deals were live at the time of writing but we’ll do our best to keep the list updated as we find new savings.
Standard monitors
If you’re looking for a standard monitor to meet your budget then the display size is probably your top priority. You might want to consider a 24-inch model as a minimum, although if you’re shifting up to 27 inches or more you should take a few basic measurements to ensure you have the desk space.

Size isn’t everything, and the better monitors will offer high resolution such as Full HD or 4K, wide viewing angles, and a rich color range. Aesthetically you may also be keen on a screen with very thin bezels, and don’t forget to ensure your choice has the requisite ports for your work or entertainment needs. The flicker-free ComfortView settings on the likes of the Dell P-Series 27-inch LED monitor help to cut down on the harmful blue light while you’re working long hours too.

Gaming monitors

On top of a large screen with great resolution, gamers should be looking out for high refresh rates and low response times. These factors ensure the smoothest and most immersive sessions, while also maximizing your advantage when taking on opponents. Typically you should be looking for at least a 120Hz refresh rate for gaming, and a response time of 5ms or lower is about right. A 1ms response time is ideal.
