I review monitors for my job: here are the Prime monitor deals I'd choose
Amazon's world-famous Prime Day sale is now on featuring stunning deals exclusively for Amazon Prime members.
Now the event is underway, we have seen a lot of amazing deals, with some of the very best being on computer monitors. The sheer choice of monitor deals can be overwhelming, but we've done the hard work and narrowed the selection down to what we think represents the best value at a range of price points, from sub $/£100 shoestring-budget options, through mid-range bargains, right up to huge 49-inch ultrawide monsters and premium color-critical displays.
We've prioritized image quality across the board, and for the most part selected IPS-based LCD screens, as their enhanced color and contrast consistency versus other LCD types is a must for accurate image or video editing. Some deals may seem temptingly cheap, but on closer inspection, they're not all that great and so we've not included them: screens with lower-than-average resolutions being typical examples, as these would result in a blocky, pixelated image, and are a false economy when superior, higher-res displays cost only marginally more.
But regardless of which deals catch your eye, remember, they only last until the end of July 12, so don't miss out! For more Prime deals, check out our main Prime Day deals hub - it's packed full of the most amazing bargains.
