Prime Day monitor deals to expect

 

 

Prime Day monitor deals will be in full swing during Amazon's annual shopping bonanza next week. 

 

Outside of Black Friday, Prime Day is your ticket to scoring a monitor on the cheap. Amazon's big sale starts Tuesday, October 13 at midnight PT/3:00 am ET and ends October 14 at midnight/3:00 am ET. Prime Day deals are exclusively for Prime members. However, if you're not a Prime member, Amazon offers a free 30-day Prime membership trial as an incentive to join. You can cancel before your trial ends to avoid being charged $119 for a year of Prime.

 

During Prime Day, we expect to see discounts on the best monitors from just about every manufacturer. Prime Day monitor deals will markdown a range of displays from brands like Acer, Asus, BenQ, Dell, HP, LG, Samsung and more. We should see discounts from $50 to $200 or more off standard and gaming-specific monitors. 

 

Amazon isn't the only retailer expected to offer Prime Day monitor deals next week. Best Buy, Target and Walmart announced sitewide sales that will run alongside Amazon's event. These stores will likely offer similar pricing on select monitors as well. We'll be rounding up the very best monitor deals from various retailers right here to ensure you get the best price. 

 

As a reminder, Prime Day takes place on October 13 and 14 and we expect tons of deals on the industry’s best monitors. Be sure to bookmark our Amazon Prime Day 2020 deals hub for this year’s exclusive discounts. 

 

If you can't afford to wait, here are the best pre-Prime Day monitor deals you can get right now.
