Black Friday is nearly here, but all the big-name retailers have already launched their deals, so if a new monitor is on your shopping list, now is definitely the time to buy.
I've seen lot of amazing deals on monitors, and the sheer choice of deals can be overwhelming. But I've drilled down and assembled a selection which I think represents the best value at a range of price points, from sub $150 budget monitors, through mid-range bargains, right up to premium colour-critical displays.
I've prioritized image quality throughout, and selected IPS-based LCD screens, as these have enhanced colour and contrast consistency versus other LCD types - a must for accurate image or video editing. Some deals may seem temptingly cheap, but on closer inspection, they're not all that great and so I've not included them: screens with lower-than-average resolutions being typical examples, as these would result in a blocky, pixelated image, and are a false economy when superior, higher-res displays cost only marginally more.
So what are you waiting for? Read on to see our best Black Friday monitor deals!

When is Black Friday 2023?
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, and this year falls on Friday, November 24, 2023. This has become the major online sale each year, as many Americans have the day off, and use this for shopping. For many people it is often the last pay day before Christmas - so the day that they have the money for buying gifts. Cyber Monday falls on the following Monday, and this year is on November 27.
