If you’re a PC gamer contemplating an upgrade, Cyber Monday is definitely your moment. Especially if you’re eyeing a new gaming monitor—whether it’s an outrageously curved ultrawide 1440p OLED or a more classic 27-inch flat 1080p display—you made a wise choice to hold off. We’ve scoured the deals and uncovered some fantastic offers on gaming monitors for both PC and console players that are too good not to share.
These days, splurging on a 1080p gaming monitor isn’t as compelling unless you’re a newcomer stepping into the world of PC gaming on a budget. Prices for robust 1440p (also known as QHD) and 4K monitors have dropped substantially. My advice? Stretch that budget slightly more than you initially planned on your new monitor. Cutting corners might leave you regretting it later, and you’ll appreciate the enhanced resolution and additional features once you upgrade your other PC components.
Another crucial point to consider is your monitor’s aspect ratio. The standard is 16:9, providing a familiar view for games, movies, and TV shows—just like on your television. If you’re considering a wider 21:9 or larger monitor, be aware that not all PC games support ultrawide resolutions, and console gaming sticks to a 16:9 aspect ratio output.
