That’s right, Amazon’s Prime Day is the unofficial start of the Christmas business season and it’s going on now. It turns out to be two days of savings, but the competition is fierce. Grab some of these monitor deals while there’s still time, but keep in mind that we may find even better deals as the day goes on.

If our Prime Day offers didn’t impress you, fear not. We’ve broken the remaining monitor offerings into two sections: gaming monitors and standard monitors.

Standard Monitor Offers

There are standard monitors for every budget, and screen size is the most important factor for most people. When investing in a new monitor, consider at least a 24-inch model. However, if you move up to 27 inches or more, there are some basic measurements you should take to make sure you have adequate desk space.

Size isn’t everything, and the better monitors offer high resolution like Full HD or 4K, wide viewing angles, and a rich color range. Aesthetically, you may also like a screen with very thin bezels and don’t forget to make sure your choice has the necessary ports for your work or entertainment needs. The flicker-free ComfortView settings on the Dell P-Series 27-inch LED monitor reduce the harmful blue light even when you work long hours.

Here are some of the best standard monitor deals out there right now.

Gaming Monitor Deals

Gaming monitors are more specialized than standard models and therefore often fetch higher prices. If you’re a casual gamer, a good standard monitor will do everything, but the more dedicated gamers on the budget can try to squirt out a bit more for a more complete gaming experience.

On a large, high-resolution screen, gamers should watch out for high refresh rates and low response times. These factors make for the smoothest, most immersive sessions while maximizing your advantage when measuring yourself against opponents. Typically, you should be looking for a refresh rate of at least 120Hz for gaming, and a response time of 5ms or less is about right. A response time of 1 ms is ideal.

Here are some of the top deals online. We even rolled out some really high-end options for the pros.
