I’ve been tracking gaming monitor prices for years, and I promise you, this year’s Black Friday has some of the best deals ever

For many years now, I’ve been obsessed with gaming monitors and how much they can instantly change gaming experiences on PC specifically. While there are many that are ideal for consoles, my love for ultrawide never dies and Black Friday has only taken that love a step further for me.

Ultrawide aspect ratios are built for PC users (stretched image on consoles), and there are now so many options across multiple online retailers at discounted prices. I’m talking about the likes of OLEDs and mini-LEDs seeing some of the biggest price drops than ever before, leaving me tempted to upgrade.

Among some of my favorite deals is the Samsung 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor, now available on Amazon in the US for just $1,399.99 (was $2,499.99), and available on Amazon in the UK for just £1,698.95 (was £2,199.99). I’ll delve into this later, but this is the best ultrawide monitor you can find this Black Friday with an almost ridiculous 7680×2160 display resolution.

When it comes down to the choice between a 16:9 or ultrawide monitor, I’m always going to choose the latter (once you go ultrawide, there’s no going back) – but that’s beside the point here. There are some fantastic gaming monitors whether 16:9 or not, so don’t let my ultrawide obsession sway your decision.

With price drops that almost send some of the best displays down to half-price and others at their lowest ever, I can’t think of another time when monitor discounts have been as good as this year’s.

Now, all of these monitors are fantastic for all PC gamers – but if you’re like me and you need as wide of a perspective as possible, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 may stand above all deals here for you too. It’s a dual 4K 57-inch ultrawide monitor (essentially two 32-inch 4K monitors joined together), with an insane 7680×2160 resolution.

I think in terms of ultrawide displays (specifically their size), this is the best you’re going to get. To get the best out of this monitor, I’d recommend at least an RTX 4080 GPU or AMD’s equivalent (Radeon RX 7900 XTX) if you want to alleviate any worries about performance at such a high resolution.

If you’re not looking for an ultrawide monitor, there are ViewSonic and Samsung options previously mentioned that will serve you well while gaming.
