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, PC gaming for instance, then you can grab an OLED monitor for a great price and experience amazing visual fidelity and reproduction. A lot of these options pair great with gaming PC deals and Alienware deals.

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, including options from Samsung 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.

As recently as a decade ago, you would most likely be using HDDs for storage, which tend to be quite slow and take up an absolute tone of space, even the smaller form factor ones made for laptops. If you wanted something a bit more fancy, like a modern M.2 SSD, you'd be paying a huge premium even for smaller sizes like 256GB and 512GB. Luckily there have been huge leaps in technology and manufacturing, and these days you can get your hands on the best SSDs for a pretty good price. Not only does that mean that you can save space, but you can also load Windows and your applications a lot faster, something we expect to see in the best gaming PCs and gaming laptops.

If you need something that can swap between multiple devices, you'll prefer checking out external hard drive deals.

The 2TB model here has been discounted down to just $190 from the original $250, so you're saving a pretty solid $60 in the process. There is a 1TB version that's cheaper if you don't think you need that much, as well as a 4TB model that's great for those who have a tendency to hoard data.
