Amazon Prime Day starts on Tuesday, Oct. 7, but there are plenty of early deals already. However, your best bet is to look for big-ticket items that rarely see major discounts, such as Samsung’s prized monitors. We’ve spotted multiple gaming and everyday monitors that can improve your work, gaming and streaming experience. Savings amount to as much as $800, so shopping now is perfect for planners who want to beat the Prime Day rush.
Buying now might also help offset any fluctuating prices because of tariffs and grab an upgrade now if you’d rather not wait for Black Friday.
This curved gaming monitor typically goes for $2,300 and includes a 32:9 aspect ratio, 240Hz refresh rate and is equivalent to two UHD monitors. It also includes a USB hub, HDMI ports and a Display Port 2.1 input so you can connect a variety of tools, accessories and devices.
Budget-conscious buyers also have plenty of options to choose from. This 32-inch Essential Samsung monitor includes Game Mode, a feature that expands your game so it fills every last pixel so you can get the best view. A 75Hz refresh rate certainly isn’t the fastest, but it’s excellent for this price and can still provide seamless visuals for gamers. It’s also ultra-thin and includes an HDMI and DisplayPort.
