Monitors perfect for compact spaces
Much as we’d all love to have a screen the size of an IMAX to play our games on, the reality is that most of us are likely working with more limited space. The good news is that there are plenty of capable monitors that are perfect for compact setups. If both budgets and space are limited, the Samsung 24-inch Odyssey G3 (G30D) has you covered. Despite its small dimensions, the G3 offers some great gaming features like a high 180Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and AMD FreeSync adaptive sync technology, which all work together to ensure smooth and responsive visuals. The FHD 1080p resolution isn’t game-changing but is what you should expect from a screen this size and is perfectly fine for casual gaming. Better still, the G3 is currently enjoying a wild 50% discount that has dropped the price of this monitor from $199.99, down to $99.99 making it an absolute bargain.
Another option for those looking for a smaller monitor but in even higher spec form is the Alienware 25 AW2523HF. Its petite 24.5″ display belies some truly outstanding specs including a raging 360Hz variable refresh rate and blazing-fast 0.5ms response time, meaning you'll experience unbelievably smooth gameplay while being able to view fast-moving graphics with absolute clarity. The Alienware 25 also comes with some really well-thought-out design cues, to make it perfect for compact spaces like a retractable headset hanger to reduce clutter on your desk and a redesigned hexagonal base to allow more room for keyboards and mice. The 25 is currently benefitting from a 20% discount on Amazon, dropping the price from $349.99 down to $279.99.
Best OLED monitor
OLED technology is currently enjoying a real boom across TVs, tablets, and monitors too. OLED screens benefit from self-illuminating pixels that can individually turn off, simultaneously offering an incredibly accurate and wide color palette, as well as deep blacks and realistic shadows.
ASUS has long been making some of our favorite monitors, and their new OLED panel range takes some beating. There are a few options out there depending on what size you want, but we think the pick of the bunch is the ASUS ROG Swift 32” 4K OLED gaming monitor (PG32UCDM). This model boasts a 32-inch QD-OLED display with 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution promising incredibly sharp visuals and truly astonishing vivid color. This makes this screen equally suited to graphic-intensive tasks like content creation and video editing as well as gaming. One potential drawback to OLED screens is the potential risk of ‘burn-in’ but the ROG Swift features an efficient custom heatsink, advanced airflow design, and graphene film for better heat management to protect your screen. A high 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms (GTG) response time ensure accurate and responsive gameplay and even the stand is undeniably cool, with built-in RGB lighting projecting the logo onto your desk for a futuristic theme. The ROG Swift is benefitting from a 23% discount on Amazon, dropping the price from $1,299 down to $999 – and saving you $300.
Best large screen and curved gaming monitor deals
If you’re lucky enough to have a spacious gaming setup large enough to house a large screen, then there are some truly epic monitors to choose from. Large and curved monitors have the benefit of offering a more immersive gaming experience, as well as bolstered multitasking capabilities due to the additional screen real-estate on offer.
One of the biggest and best curved gaming monitors on the market today is the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC). The Samsung Odyssey series has long produced some of our favorite monitors, with many adorning the desks of our offices, but the Greek hero of the Odyssey range is the OLED G9. Boasting a truly ginormous 49″ curved display that immerses you right in the heart of the action, this curved smart gaming monitor also features a host of premium features that ensure that your games will never have looked so good. The massive ultra-wide 49-inch screen boasts an 1800R curvature offering an immersive field of view, mimicking the natural curvature of the human eye for more engaging gameplay and productivity, and the top 5120 x 1440p resolution provides crystal-clear visuals and ample screen real estate for multitasking and gaming. The premium features don’t stop there, with the QD-OLED offering the best of both worlds with vibrant colors and deep blacks, and this monitor also has 4K AI-upscaling and smart TV features to make it the ultimate addition to your setup. Just double check it will fit. The G9 is currently enjoying a massive 42% reduction, dropping the price from an eye-watering $1,799.99, down to a much more palatable $1,047.97 – saving you over $750.
A large screen doesn’t have to break the bank however, with another giant product from Samsung’s Odyssey range offering a more budget-friendly alternative despite its size and spec list. The Samsung 43″ Odyssey Neo G7 still boasts exciting features like 4K UHD resolution, Quantum Mini LEDs, and VESA DISPLAY HDR600 for incredible picture quality, and, like the G9, also boasts smart TV features too. Whilst the 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time can’t quite live up to the G9, they are perfectly capable of delivering high-performance visuals, and this 43″ beast can be yours for a lot less than its bigger brother, thanks to a suitably huge 43% reduction on Amazon, dropping the price from $999.99 down to $569.99 – saving you a mighty $430.
No matter your needs, there is a monitor for you, and at a great price
As we can see from the varied options above, there is a wealth of different monitors to choose from out there. Monitors perfect for compact spaces like the Alienware 25 can still offer high performance, (don’t forget that industry-leading 360Hz refresh rate), whilst boasting thoughtful design to make the most of limited space. At the other end of the spectrum are behemoths like the Samsung Odyssey G9 which can dominate a whole room and give you a panel bigger than something you’d find on the Starship Enterprise.
The most important thing is to work out your needs, and your budget beforehand, and that will make finding the model that suits you best all the easier. We’re sure the perfect monitor for everyone is out there, and quite possibly it is in the list above. Either way, the lead up to Christmas is the perfect time to land a significant discount on a top gaming monitor, to bring your favorite titles to life and provide many hours of gaming bliss.
