Now that it's finally April, it's safe to say that spring has officially started — and it brought with it some of the best monitor deals I've seen in ages. Since the end of last year, actually.
Before we dig into this highly curated list of the best monitors, I'll have you know that I'm an absolute monitor fiend. I'll debate them, I'll test them, and I'll wishlist them more often than my wallet would probably like.
I'm also very particular about my own setup. I can't function without at least two monitors, and I feel better if I have three. (If you think that's a little overkill, don't worry — my family does, too.) This means that I've seen and tested a lot of the best monitors out there, and I'm thrilled with the current state of the market. So. Many. Options.
If you're looking for something for work, options range from the (frankly gorgeous) Samsung Odyssey Ark 2, now $900 cheaper at Amazon, to the budget-friendly Samsung FT45 27-inch, priced at a mere $129. That's a steal for a 27-inch with an IPS panel.
Need a portable monitor for working on the go? The Asus ZenScreen is just $169 right now.
As a gamer, my monitor priorities are crystal clear. While I use my PC to work, my setup was built for games first, productivity second. If you're like me and you want a multi-monitor setup, flat screens are still best for that. The LG UltraGear 32-inch was previously $349, but now it's just $209 at Walmart, making it easy to build a whole set. Maybe you'll even beat my set of three?
That said, I love a curved monitor for immersive gaming, and if I were a more creative soul, I might have needed one for work, too. Either way, there are plenty of stunning monitors on sale right now.
I can't talk about curved monitors without mentioning the Alienware 34-inch QD-OLED, as that one's widely known as one of the best gaming monitors right now. It helps that it's currently on sale for $781, down from $899.
This is just the beginning. I'm genuinely excited to walk you through some of the best monitor deals available in April 2025. Which one are you going to get?

5 tips for buying the perfect computer monitor
- We recommend a 27-inch monitor size. However, go for the largest display that will fit your workspace and your budget. 27 inches is very large, so pull out a ruler and do some measuring.
- Buy a 4K monitor if you can afford to splurge. Although 1080p monitors offer a great viewing experience, 2160p content is becoming the new norm. If you have room in your budget to spend upwards of $250, go for the 1440p or 4K monitor.
- Widescreen multimedia monitors are for everything. If cinematic viewing, immersive PC gaming and maximum productivity are priority, go for a widescreen monitor. They come in flat and curved designs with life-like FHD or 4K resolution.
- Generally speaking, 60Hz and up is a good refresh rate. The refresh rate is the number of times a monitor refreshes the screen per second. A standard 60Hz monitor refreshes the screen 60 times per second whereas a 120Hz monitor refreshes twice as many times. Competitive gamers will benefit from the smoother gaming performance of 144Hz and up.
- Most monitors have a response time of 5ms. Response time is the time it takes the monitor to shift from one color to another. Gamers will want to get the lowest response time (1ms is ideal).
