$199 can get you a 4.5-star 27-inch 4K 160Hz Mini LED monitor for Cyber Monday, but you might want to act fast

The last thing I need is another monitor, but even I’m tempted by this deal. Amazon’s Woot is currently selling a 27-inch 4K Mini LED monitor with 160 Hz with a 600-nit brightness rating for an incredibly low $199. But act fast if you want one because that’s $100 lower than its current sale price at Amazon, and a stunning 75% off its MSRP! This is the best monitor deal, and maybe the best deal overall, that I’ve seen so far this deals season.

We tested the Tempest GP27U in 2023 and gave it a 4.5 star rating, noting its “razor-sharp image with high contrast and vivid color” and “huge color gamut.” The Mini LED backlight gives you 576 local dimming zones, upping the contrast, helped by up to 1200 nits of beak brightness in HDR mode.

The only real downside our reviewer noticed is that you can’t use variable refresh above 144 Hz. When we tested it, the GP27U was one of the first Mini LED screens under $1,000. I think it’s pretty safe to say today that it’s the only Mini LED gaming monitor you can buy for under $200. But I wouldn’t sit on this deal if you want one. At 75% off MSRP, the stock on this steal of a deal won’t likely last long.

You can pick up a 15-inch portable monitor with a kickstand for as little as $50

Whether you’re interested in a portable monitor as a second screen for your laptop, console gaming on the go, or you want a smaller second (or third, or fourth) monitor for your desktop, now is a great time to buy one.

There’s also this model from Arzopa that’s $63 and includes a kickstand (a feature you really want because the typical cover stands are a floppy, fiddly pain to use). But if you’re aiming to spend even less, this WGK model is now on sale at Amazon for just $49, and it also includes a kickstand!

WGK says this is a matte screen, and while I couldn’t find a brightness rating, most of the reviewers on Amazon seem happy with the amount of light the screen puts out. The monitor also has built in speakers, but don’t expect them to be good, and definitely disregard the company’s claims of surround sound and HDR.

At 50 bucks, don’t expect this screen to hang with the best portable monitors, but if you’re looking for a second screen on the cheap for occasional productivity or gaming on the go, this WGK looks to be a great deal.

This 180Hz 27-inch QHD gaming monitor is just $170 for a limited time

Earlier this summer, we got a chance to review a new gaming monitor from Titan Army. The P27A2R impressed us with its no-frills approach to providing most of what gamers want out of a monitor for not a lot of money.

We praised its $200 MSRP, which provides a lot of bang for the buck, but now the P27A2R is even cheaper. Best Buy currently has the P27A2R on sale for $169.99, which is a $30 savings off its usual asking price. What you get for your money is a 27-inch IPS panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and a 180 Hz refresh rate. Of course, the monitor is compatible with AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, while Titan Army says that the monitor tops out at 300 nits for maximum brightness (we measured 288 nits).

Despite its value-driven price, the picture quality from the P27A2R was colorful, while contrast was good for an IPS panel. We also commended color accuracy that was dialed in straight from the factory and low input lag.

Of course, when we’re talking about a monitor that punches above its weight class but offers a low price tag, there will be some compromises. The build quality is good, but there is some wobble where the monitor attaches to the base. HDR is missing on the monitor, and you won’t find USB ports or internal speakers. The lack of USB ports and speakers isn’t an issue for me as my PC has plenty of ports, and I roll with my own speaker system (your mileage may vary).

With that said, $169 is an excellent price for the P27A2R, so if you’re looking for a well-rounded gaming monitor that doesn’t cost a lot, give it a try.

Samsung’s Odyssey G50D IPS 27-inch QHD monitor hits an all-time low of $189

Samsung’s Odyssey gaming monitors can be wildly expensive and massive in size, but this mid-range, G50D packs a nice collection of specs (IPS, HDR400, 180 Hz, FreeSync, 1440p resolution), while its 27-inch size will fit on most desks. And at its all-time low price of just $189 at Amazon, it will also fit in most gaming monitor budgets.

Its DisplayHDR rating of 400 means there is enough brightness here for HDR (if barely), and FreeSync support means your gaming will be smooth and tear-free. The 180 Hz rating seems to be native, as there is no mention of overdrive or overclocking, and the 1ms response time should be responsive enough for all but the most serious of esports gamers.

If you’re after a new gaming monitor on a budget and you want a screen from one of the biggest names in the business, the Samsung Odyssey G50D is well worth considering — especially today, when it’s dropped $20 below its previous all-time low price and is available for $189.

This 16:10 productivity boosting 16-inch IPS portable monitor with a kickstand is just $71!

While I love the large OLED TV that I use as a monitor at home, when I’m on the go with my 14-inch laptop, I never feel like I have enough screen real estate. And while I have an older portable monitor that I picked up several years ago, it doesn’t get very bright, and I hate its folding, floppy stand.

So when I saw this large 16-inch IPS screen with a 300-nit brightness rating and a built-in kickstand selling for just $71.99 on Amazon, I ordered one for myself. You might want to consider it, too as portable monitors, especially those with a kickstand, are incredibly versatile and handy devices.

As is often the case with these budget portable monitors, I have never heard of the Veout brand, but it’s hard to argue with specs like 1920 x 1200 resolution, 1200:1 contrast ratio, and 300 nits of brightness at this price. It’s also available in four colors, but the pink and silver models do cost $1-$3 more.

Ports on the left edge are about what you’d expect: Two USB-C, Mini HDMI, audio jack (there are also built-in speakers) and controls for the OSD. The refresh rate is a fixed 60 Hz, so esports gamers may want to look elsewhere, and there’s no mention of response time, so it may not be great for console gamers on the go either.

But considering this screen’s 16:10 aspect ratio, it’s better suited to productivity anyway. That’s primarily what I expect to use mine for when it arrives. And I can’t wait for it to arrive.
