Laptops offer plenty of portability, but it can be difficult to work on as little as 13.3 inches of screen for hours on end. That’s where a big, bright monitor becomes a must-have for your home office. We’ve gone ahead and put together some of the best monitor deals we could find to help you out.
We’ve split the best monitor deals into two sections: Gaming monitors and standard monitors. Gaming monitors are often a bit wider and more powerful with higher refresh rates. You won’t find curved monitors on this list though, as they’re about as popular as curved TVs have turned out to be.

We love a good coupon code, especially if it gets you a high-end monitor for the lowest price online. That’s the deal with LG UltraFine 32-inch 4K UHD monitor from BuyDig. It’s almost full price on the site, but the coupon code KHY27 knocks it down to $399 ($201 off).
The LG UltraFine is aptly named due to the detail it allows you to enjoy. 4K UHD resolution on a 32-inch screen gives you a resolution of 3840 x 2160, plus high dynamic range (HDR) and Nano IPS combine to give you vivid colors and stark contrasts.

Standard monitors
If you’re looking for a standard monitor to meet your budget then the display size is probably your top priority. You might want to consider a 24-inch model as a minimum, although if you’re shifting up to 27 inches or more you should take a few basic measurements to ensure you have the desk space.

Size isn’t everything, and the better monitors will offer high resolution such as Full HD or 4K, wide viewing angles, and a rich color range. Aesthetically you may also be keen on a screen with very thin bezels, and don’t forget to ensure your choice has the requisite ports for your work or entertainment needs. The flicker-free ComfortView settings on the likes of the Dell P-Series 27-inch LED monitor help to cut down on the harmful blue light while you’re working long hours too.

Gaming monitors
Gaming monitors are more specialized than standard models, and often command higher prices as a result. If you’re a casual gamer then a good standard monitor will suffice for everything, but the more committed players with sufficient budgets can look to splash out a bit more on these gaming monitor deals.

On top of a large screen with great resolution, gamers should be looking out for high refresh rates and low response times. These factors ensure the smoothest and most immersive sessions, while also maximizing your advantage when taking on opponents. Typically you should be looking for at least a 120Hz refresh rate for gaming, and a response time of 5ms or lower is about right. A 1ms response time is ideal.
