We have found the 8 best gaming monitor deals during Black Friday

There’s no better time than Black Friday for PC gamers looking to make their annual upgrades. If there’s a gaming monitor on your list or a wish list you’re eyeing – whether it’s an overly curved ultrawide 1440p OLED, a 27-inch flat 1080p display, and everything in between – you were right to wait. We’ve found enough deals on gaming monitors for PC and consoles to make it worth telling you about the best ones here.

There aren’t many good reasons to buy a new 1080p gaming monitor these days unless you’re new to PC gaming and are trying to get into the hobby while spending as little as possible. Prices for solid 1440p (aka QHD) and 4K monitors have dropped significantly, and I recommend spending just a little more than you might think on a new monitor. Compromising can come back to bite you later, and you’ll be happy with the sharper resolution and extra features the next time you upgrade your other PC hardware.

Another thing worth mentioning is that you should carefully consider the aspect ratio of your monitor. Most are 16:9, making everything from games, movies and TV shows look just like they do on a TV. If you decide to buy a 21:9 or wider monitor, keep in mind that not all PC games support ultra-wide resolutions and consoles are locked to a 16:9 aspect ratio.
