Whether it’s for gaming or working, having at least one true computer monitor to complement your setup is always a plus. Tedious projects and video games feel a lot less straining when you’re not staring at a tiny laptop screen. It’s truly impressive what comfort and an expanded field of view can do for your productivity.

Retailers are dropping Black Friday deals earlier than ever in 2022, meaning that you can enjoy a computer setup upgrade for weeks ahead of Nov. 25. Monitors included in these sales range from high-quality, curved gaming monitors to more basic, budget displays.

We’ve pulled the early monitor deals into one big list, categorized by work or casual use versus gaming, then listed in order of size (smallest to largest). All newly added deals have been marked with a ✨, and all monitors marked with a ⚡️ are already at their Black Friday price, as marked by select retailers’ early Black Friday sales. Anything with a strikeout was either sold out or no longer available at the sale price at the time of writing, but check back often — we’re updating this page constantly.

Why we like it

This nearly bezel-less monitor with a three-sided micro-edge display has plenty of room for two windows at once. An always-on blue light filter and customized dimming help to reduce eye strain when you have one of those long workdays. While it’s ideal for working, specs like a 99% sRGB(3) color space and fast response time make it reliable enough for the switch to casual gaming.
