Nothing beats looking at digital content on a big screen. Dell has a monitor to suit your needs, whether you have a laptop or desktop. We chose five excellent monitors across a range of design styles and panel technologies. That means document warriors, content creators, and gamers will find a fit here.

Four of the five monitors also offer an extra 10% savings, which stacks with Dell's ongoing sale. Use code SAVE10 to get more off select monitors and PCs through August 26 at 7:00 AM CST.

For example, the Dell UltraSharp 49 Curved USB-C Hub Monitor U4924DW shaves $80 off its regular price. We reviewed this model's smaller, 40-inch sibling earlier this year and loved its high color gamut and copious set of charging ports for other devices. We gave that model 3.5 stars, largely because of its price and because it wasn't much of an upgrade over the previous generation of 40-inch models. This model has fewer ports by a hair and lacks Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, but it also has a much larger, immersive curved screen at a lower price. Get it now for $1,279, down from $1,359.

If you're looking for something less desk-consuming, the Dell 24 Monitor S2425H delivers Full HD 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution with 2 HDMI 1.4 ports and dual integrated 5W speakers for just $89, a $30 discount with the SAVE10 code. This model only has a tilt adjustment; if you want both height and tilt adjustments, consider the S2425HS for $107 with the coupon code.

Meanwhile, gamers can appreciate the brilliant QD-OLED images, and the fast refresh rates of the Alienware monitors on sale. The Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED AQ3423DW is on sale for $899, down from $1,099 with coupon code SAVE10. The smaller Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor AW2725DF also drops $180 to $719 with the coupon code, and it more than doubles the refresh rate over its larger, curved sibling.

While most of these deals are at Dell, one is even better at Amazon right now. If these don't sound like your tea, Dell has a wide selection of monitors on sale, and some models have an extra 10% discount with code SAVE10.
