Everything looks better on a big screen. Especially a high-resolution screen. And now, during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, also known as "October Prime Day," you can grab a large 4K monitor at a huge discount.

For example, the Samsung 32-inch M8 Smart Monitor is now $379, a massive $329 savings over its normal price. The M8 monitor is especially appealing because it has streaming and AI upscaling built in. Plus, it has a camera, so you can do video calls with ease. This is a great choice for home offices or living environments that need one screen that can do it all.

If you have a smaller desk space, there's the LG UltraFine UHD, one of four attractively priced 27-inch models on sale now at Amazon. The LG UltraFine UHD is now $256, a 33% discount from its normal $379 price.
