Gaming monitor deals
A gaming monitor is a big purchase, and the better screens usually get cut in the weeks before Black Friday. These are the Amazon gaming monitors we have listed: Samsung's 27-inch Odyssey G8 and Odyssey 3D, an Alienware QD-OLED, ASUS ROG models at 27 and 32 inches, LG Ultragear OLEDs at 34 and 45 inches, plus an MSI, a Pixio, and two Acers. Used listings, monitor arms, and stands sold on their own are left off.
Quick picks
What to look for
- The Samsung Odyssey G8 (G80HF) listing is a 27-inch 5K Fast IPS at 180Hz, and the title also says dual mode QHD 360Hz. The Odyssey 3D (G90XF) is a different 27-inch monitor: 4K, 165Hz, 1ms, FreeSync Premium, and the title says glasses-free. It does not say OLED.
- The OLED listings are the 27-inch Alienware AW2725DF (1440p QD-OLED, 360Hz), the 32-inch ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDP (4K WOLED, 240Hz, dual-mode), the 27-inch ASUS ROG PG27UCDM (4K QD-OLED, 240Hz), the 32-inch ASUS ROG Strix XG32UCWG (4K OLED, dual-mode; the title does not give a refresh rate), the 34-inch LG 34GS95QE (curved WQHD OLED, 800R, 240Hz), the 45-inch LG 45GX900A-B (curved 3440x1440 OLED, 240Hz, G-Sync), the 27-inch MSI MAG 272QP (1440p QD-OLED, 240Hz), and the 27-inch Pixio PX277 OLED MAX (2560x1440, 240Hz, 0.03ms).
- The IPS screens are the Acer Nitro (27-inch 2560x1440, 240Hz, FreeSync Premium, DisplayHDR 400) and the Acer Predator XB273U (27-inch 2560x1440, 360Hz). The G8 above is IPS as well.
- Dual-mode, where the title says it, means a lower resolution at a higher refresh. Confirm which mode you actually want on the Amazon listing.
- Check the ports and whether the stand adjusts. A monitor arm, or a stand by itself, is not a monitor.

FAQ
OLED or a fast IPS?
The OLED listings are the Alienware, the three ASUS models, both LGs, the MSI, and the Pixio. The G8 (G80HF) and the two Acers are IPS. The Odyssey 3D listing does not say OLED.
Is the Odyssey 3D the same as the G8?
No. The 3D listing is the G90XF, a 27-inch 4K 165Hz glasses-free monitor. The G8 listing is the G80HF, a 27-inch 5K IPS.
Which ones are 360Hz?
The Alienware AW2725DF and the Acer Predator XB273U. The G8 title also names a QHD 360Hz dual mode. Most of the others are 165Hz to 240Hz. The Strix XG32UCWG title does not state a refresh rate.
