'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Monitors are one of those components that you can spend as much or as little on as you want. While you generally get what you pay for, you should pay for the right features, specs, and sizes for your specific needs.
Many of us are avid gamers, for example, and so a high-resolution, curved monitor is a constant item on our wish lists. Alternatively, you might be a remote worker who needs maximum screen real estate for complex projects, or you may want a big, beautiful display for streaming content.
In any case, we've got you covered on great deals with some of the biggest retailers around. We scoured the web for not just the best offers on mainstream, do-it-all displays, but also on more niche models like huge ultra-wides, super-fast refresh gaming displays, and massive 43-inch-plus monitors.
Also: The best large monitors
Read on to find a selection of the best monitor deals available, regardless of what type and size of monitor you're looking for.
The Samsung 49-inch Odyssey Neo G9 is our top pick as a great gaming monitor offering a curved screen and a 240Hz refresh rate at 1ms.
Currently available with a $60 discount, bringing the cost down to only $70, the Dell 22 monitor is our top sales pick for a budget-friendly monitor. This 22-inch monitor (60Hz refresh rate) is best suited for basic PC tasks and work.
This Full HD, FreeSync-compatible monitor from Samsung is part of the Odyssey range, a well-regarded line suitable for gaming -- especially if you only have so much desk space available. The 144Hz refresh rate is a bonus, too.
If you want an insanely impressive gaming rig, the Corsair Xeneon Flex offers a 45-inch bendable display with a WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, and 0.03ms response time.
Another top pick is for the Samsung 34-inch ViewFinity UHD monitor. This monitor, available for a $120 discount, is a solid workhorse for productivity and gaming, with a 34-inch display and a 100Hz refresh rate.
Our overall top pick is the Samsung 49-inch Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor. It's uncommon for discounts of over $500 to appear on such a great monitor with a curved screen and high refresh rate -- and this monitor will suit you for years to come.
