Amazon Prime Day is in full swing, and I'm keeping track of all the latest deals on computer monitors. I've been writing about tech products for over a decade, and I've covered every Prime Day since the event launched in 2015. I've used all that experience to round up the best Prime Day monitor deals that are actually worth your time.
Excellent discounts are available on monitors perfect for work, internet browsing, entertainment, and gaming. Right now, you can grab a 24-inch Philips monitor for an all-time low of $64. This entry-level display isn't anything fancy, but for those who just want a basic 1080p monitor, its value is hard to beat. However, if you're a gamer who wants a premium display, I recommend LG's 32-inch UltraGear OLED, which is down to $875. This 4K display supports a 240Hz refresh rate and delivers excellent contrast.
These Prime Day monitor deals are expected to last through June 26 while supplies last. I'll be hunting for additional monitor discounts throughout the sale, so check back for more deals. And be sure to visit our full hub of Prime Day deals for savings across tech, home, kitchen, style, and more.

Prime Day monitor FAQs
What's the difference between a standard monitor and a gaming monitor?
A standard monitor is built for everyday tasks like browsing the web, drafting documents, streaming videos, and basic photo editing. A gaming monitor is designed to display games with smooth motion and advanced features like HDR (high dynamic range). As such, gaming monitors offer higher refresh rates, faster response times, brighter panels, and additional features, such as adaptive sync, that you won't find in typical productivity monitors.
For casual use, a standard monitor with 1080p or QHD resolution, a basic LED panel, and a 60Hz refresh rate is fine. But if you play fast-paced games, you should invest in a gaming monitor that supports at least 120Hz. Monitors that use OLED, QLED, and Mini LED panels are also better suited for games since they deliver brighter, higher contrast images than basic LED screens. If your PC is powerful enough to handle higher resolutions, a 4K gaming monitor is also a good option since it'll deliver a sharper image.
