Last Updated on: 31st August 2022, 08:00 am
Choosing the correct monitor for your setup is as important as any other component in your rig. After all, it would be a huge mistake to buy a 4K monitor when using your old GTX 750. So, if you’ve been in the market for a new monitor, or just decide that now could be a good time then we’ve got you covered as Amazon is hosting its Prime Day sale from June 21st-22nd and there are plenty of great monitors on offer ranging from 1080p to 4K and many different refresh rates to suit your current build.
To be able to take part in the Prime Day sales you need to be an active Amazon Prime member. But, first time members can get a free 30-day trial by clicking the link here.
Here are the best deals that you can find during Prime Day.
1080p Monitors
144 Hz
Dell S2721HGF 27 inch 144 Hz 1080p Monitor
Dell have been an industry leader for many years, and their monitors are fantastic workhorses with great specs. This monitor features 144 Hz and a 1ms response time, as well as AMD’s FreeSync Premium technology, while also being compatible with Nvidia’s G-Sync feature. The monitor comes with a DisplayPort and 2 HDMI ports. With it being 27 inch it will be perfect to be able to see all of the action going on and is large enough for single monitor setups.
AOC G2460PF 24 inch 144 Hz Monitor
At 24 inch, the AOC G2460PF is perfect for 1080p gaming, some people claim that anything larger than 24 inch is too big for 1080p, but we don’t agree. This would suit a gamer with a dual monitor setup, but still large enough for a single monitor setup whether it is for gaming, art, or work. The monitor comes with a DisplayPort and single HDMI port.
165 Hz
Acer Nitro VG240YSbmiipx 24 Inch 165 Hz Monitor
If your GPU will allow you to go beyond 144 Hz then this is perhaps the best deal that we will see during Prime Day. At £134.99, this 165 Hz monitor provides a few extra frames per second at a cheaper price than the monitors listed above, and when it comes to competitive games such as Fortnite and Call Of Duty every frame counts.
While it does have a 2 ms response time compared to the previous 1 ms, the difference would not be noticed so it shouldn’t put you off.
Acer Nitro XV270Pbmiiprx 27 Inch 165 Hz Monitor
For those wanting a larger screen, the Acer Nitro XV270Pbmiiprx is a great option for 165 Hz gaming. Like the monitor above, it is an IPS panel but comes with a 1 ms response time. If you’re currently gaming at 60 Hz, we highly recommend you start looking at 144 Hz and beyond, you can thank us later.
240 Hz
Samsung LC27RG50FQRXXU 27 Inch Monitor
For the most competitive gamers out there, a 240 Hz monitor is essential when it comes to playing Esports titles such as Fortnite, CS:GO, Overwatch, and League Of Legends. Every frame can be the difference between winning and losing and you want to give yourself the best chance of winning. This monitor is 27 inch and curved, which might seem weird to some gamers, but trust us, curved monitors are fantastic.

1440p Monitors
144 Hz
HP X27i 1440p 144 Hz Monitor
Moving over to 1440p monitors now and first up is this fantastic 144 Hz monitor from HP. At 27 inch it is the perfect size for 1440p gaming, and the 144 Hz allows gamers to have a much smoother experience, or even play competitive games too.
Samsung Odyssey G5 LC27G55TQWRXXU 27 Inch Curved 144 Hz Monitor
Another fantastic deal for those moving to 1440p. This monitor is a curved monitor, which on paper sounds odd, but as a 1440p curved monitor user myself, it is a nice experience and one we highly recommend trying out if you’re in the market for a new monitor.
165 Hz
Samsung Odyssey G5 LC34G55TWWRXXU Ultrawide Monitor
Ultrawide monitors are great for design and editing work, but also provide a fantastic experience when gaming as more of the surrounding area is visible on screen. This is particularly useful for games such as sim racing and Microsoft Flight Simulator. This monitor features a 3440x1440p resolution at 165 Hz so perfect for fast-paced games such as racers and shooters.
240 Hz
Samsung Odyssey G7 LC27G75TQSRXXU 240 Hz Monitor
The Samsung Odyssey G7 LC27G75TQSRXXU is perfect for competitive gamers that want to be able to play fast-paced shooters such as Fortnite, CS:GO, and Call Of Duty, as well as sim racers, as well as being able to play the latest AAA single-player game at a higher resolution.
This monitor has it all, 240 Hz for competitive, and 1440p for single-player, coupled with a 1ms response time and a curved screen, this is one of the best deals out there right now.

4K Monitors
Samsung LU32J590UQRXXU UJ590 27 Inch 4K Monitor
4K monitors haven’t seen much improvement beyond 60 Hz right now, but very few games and graphics cards can perform above that level so it isn’t a problem right now. If you’re looking to get into 4K gaming, whether it’s on PC or the new next-gen consoles the PS5 and Xbox Series X, now could be a great time with the Samsung LU32J590UQRXXU because at £249 it is an incredible deal.
LG Electronics 32UN500 32 Inch 4K Monitor
Another fantastic deal for those that are looking to get into 4K gaming. LG make some of the best panels at this price point so this should be one every gamer is looking at whether it is for PC and next-gen console gaming.
