Best OLED monitor deals: Get an OLED screen from just $450

By and

Up to a couple of years ago, OLED technology only really existed in OLED TVs and very-high-end monitors that cost thousands and thousands of dollars. Luckily, the prices have come down quite substantially, even on the best OLED monitors, especially as the market gets more saturated with options. That means that if you tend to use a monitor for the majority of your content consumption, such as gaming, then you can grab an OLED monitor for a great price and experience amazing visual fidelity and reproduction.

To that end, we’ve gone out and scoured all the major retailers and brands to find our favorite OLED monitor deals out there and compiled them below. That said, if you haven’t quite found what you’re looking for, or feel you aren’t ready for an OLED monitor, be sure to check out some of these other great monitor deals.

While OLED monitors remain pretty expensive, even in the budget range, this LG UltraGear 27-inch OLED is probably one the cheapest you’re going to find. It has a QHD resolution and can hit a whopping 240Hz, which is perfect for competitive e-sports players, and while the 0.03ms response time isn’t the lowest you can find, most competitive gamers will likely not notice the difference. It also comes with both FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC, as well as HDR10, although it’s worth noting that HDR on monitors isn’t quite at the level of the average TV HDR just yet.

Best Mac Mini deals: Save over $100 on an Apple desktop
Apple Mac Mini 2018

When it comes to Apple desktops, you have quite a lot of options, but the best one for smaller spaces where you can't fit a full-fledged tower or all-in-one is an Apple Mac Mini. Not only is it absolutely tiny compared to a regular desktop, but it still manages to pack a lot of features under the hood, meaning you don't lose a ton of performance due to the smaller form factor. Of course, being Apple products, they're still quite expensive, which is why we've gone out and found our favorite Mac Mini deals and collected them below, although many of them are for refurbished or renewed versions. That's mostly due to the fact that older models aren't available, even though they're cheaper and still have excellent performance.
