Monitors are a genuinely good Cyber Monday category, more reliably so than full desktops or even some GPUs, because a compact panel is easy for retailers to keep in stock and restock online through the full holiday weekend. If the Dell 27 240Hz or the ArcticPro budget panel sold out over Black Friday, Cyber Monday is a legitimately strong chance to catch either one, and this guide walks through all eight monitors in this lineup with that restock-and-availability framing throughout.

Samsung 27″ Odyssey G5 (G51F) Series QHD (1440P) Gaming Monitor

This monitor’s strong QHD-for-the-price value made it a reasonable Black Friday sellout candidate, and Cyber Monday is worth checking specifically if you missed it over the weekend. At $149.99, it remains a strong value pick regardless of which specific day you catch it in stock, delivering 1440p resolution where many competitors are still stuck at 1080p.

Samsung’s VA panel technology continues to deliver strong contrast for atmospheric and dark-scene-heavy games, and this monitor pairs well with mid-tier GPUs capable of pushing real 1440p frame rates. If it’s back in stock Monday, expect pricing close to or the same as the Black Friday listing rather than a further discount.

Given that monitors restock more reliably than some other hardware categories online, this is a reasonable one to check even later in the Cyber Monday window if you didn’t catch it first thing, unlike the highest-demand doorbuster items that can disappear for good after the opening hours.

Who it’s for: budget-conscious gamers with a mid-tier GPU checking Cyber Monday for a restock of this strong QHD value pick.

Pros

  • 1440p resolution at a price point most competitors reserve for 1080p
  • VA panel delivers strong contrast for atmospheric and dark-scene games
  • Monitors restock more reliably online than some other hardware categories

Cons

  • No guarantee of a price improvement over the Black Friday listing, only availability
  • VA panel response time trails IPS alternatives slightly in fast-motion scenes
  • Requires a reasonably capable GPU to actually take advantage of the QHD resolution

Dell 27 240Hz Gaming Monitor – SE2726HG

This 240Hz IPS monitor’s strong value at $109.99 makes it a likely Black Friday sellout, and checking for it specifically on Cyber Monday is worthwhile given how competitively this specific panel is priced relative to its refresh rate. FreeSync Premium support and IPS color accuracy remain the same regardless of purchase day.

Competitive esports players who missed this monitor on Black Friday should check Cyber Monday listings early, since strong refresh-rate-per-dollar deals like this one can move quickly again once restocked, similar to how they moved on the initial Black Friday sale.

As with most monitors in this roundup, don’t expect Cyber Monday to beat the Black Friday price if it does restock; treat this specifically as an availability check rather than a pricing opportunity.

Who it’s for: competitive esports players checking for a Cyber Monday restock of this strong 240Hz-per-dollar deal after a likely Black Friday sellout.

Pros

  • 240Hz refresh rate at an unusually low price
  • IPS panel offers strong color accuracy and fast response for competitive titles
  • Monitors as a category restock reliably for Cyber Monday

Cons

  • Real risk of a second quick sellout if restocked given the strong underlying value
  • 1080p resolution only, no QHD option at this price
  • Only delivers full value paired with a GPU capable of high 1080p frame rates

Samsung 32″ Odyssey (G55C) Series QHD 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor

At $239.81, this premium curved panel is less likely to have sold out completely over Black Friday weekend given its narrower buyer pool compared to the budget options in this roundup, making it a relatively low-stress Cyber Monday check. The 1000R curve and 32-inch QHD panel deliver the same genuine immersion for single-player and open-world games regardless of purchase timing.

Because premium panels like this one see more moderate demand, Cyber Monday buyers have a reasonable chance of finding this in stock even without checking right at the opening of the sale window, unlike the faster-moving budget panels elsewhere in this roundup.

VA panel characteristics apply here as with the smaller Odyssey monitors in this roundup, strong contrast with moderate response time, a consistent trait across Samsung’s Odyssey line regardless of which specific model or sale day you’re shopping.

Who it’s for: single-player and open-world gamers who want a large, immersive curved QHD display, with relatively low restock-timing pressure given this monitor’s narrower buyer pool.

Pros

  • Large 32-inch QHD curved panel with a tight 1000R curve radius
  • Strong immersion for single-player and open-world games
  • Lower restock-timing pressure than the budget panels in this roundup

Cons

  • Highest price in this roundup
  • Large curved format is less ideal for some competitive shooter players who prefer flat screens
  • VA panel response time trails IPS alternatives in fast-motion scenes

Sceptre New 22-Inch Gaming Monitor, FHD 1080p, Up to 144Hz

Budget monitors like this one at $72.97 are a strong fit for Cyber Monday’s easy-to-restock model, and it’s a reasonable bet that this listing returns to stock quickly if it sold out over Black Friday weekend, given how straightforward compact budget panels are for retailers to keep flowing through online sales channels.

144Hz at this price remains a strong spec regardless of the specific day, and the compact 22-inch size continues to make this an easy pick for multi-monitor setups or smaller desks. Built-in speakers and standard connectivity round out a dependable budget option.

Given the reliable restocking pattern typical of this price tier, this is one of the lower-stress checks in this roundup for Cyber Monday shopping, worth a look even if you didn’t catch it during the initial Black Friday rush.

Who it’s for: budget shoppers and multi-monitor setups checking Cyber Monday for a reliable restock of this competitive-tier refresh rate panel.

Pros

  • 144Hz refresh rate at a genuinely low price point
  • Compact 22-inch size fits smaller desks and multi-monitor setups well
  • Budget panels in this price tier restock reliably for Cyber Monday

Cons

  • No guarantee of a further price cut versus Black Friday, only availability
  • 22-inch screen size is on the small side for some users’ preference as a primary display
  • 1080p only, no higher resolution option at this price

Sceptre Curved 24-inch Gaming Monitor 1080p R1500 98% sRGB

This monitor’s strong 98% sRGB coverage at $102.97 remains a standout spec in this roundup regardless of purchase timing, and its moderate price positioning between the budget and premium tiers here means it’s less likely than the cheapest panels to have sold through completely over Black Friday weekend.

The gentler R1500 curve and dual HDMI plus VGA connectivity remain practical advantages for buyers with mixed-generation source hardware or a preference for extended-session comfort over the tighter curve found on the pricier Samsung G55C above.

Given its moderate demand tier, this is a reasonably low-pressure Cyber Monday check, worth comparing against the Acer 27-inch IPS monitor below if display quality and color accuracy matter more to you than raw refresh rate.

Who it’s for: buyers who want a gentle curved immersion effect and above-average color accuracy, with moderate rather than urgent restock-timing pressure.

Pros

  • 98% sRGB coverage is unusually strong for this price point
  • Gentler R1500 curve suits mixed gaming and productivity use
  • Moderate demand tier means less urgent restock-timing pressure

Cons

  • Refresh rate isn’t as high as the dedicated esports-focused monitors in this roundup
  • 1080p resolution only
  • No guarantee of further price movement versus Black Friday

Acer 27in FHD 1920×1080 IPS 120Hz Gaming Monitor

At $99.99, this 27-inch IPS panel with 120Hz refresh rate sits in a similarly moderate demand tier to the Sceptre curved monitor above, making it a reasonably accessible Cyber Monday check without the urgency of the sub-$75 budget panels in this roundup. IPS color accuracy and viewing angles continue to make this a solid fit for mixed gaming and desktop use.

120Hz remains a meaningful upgrade over standard 60Hz displays regardless of purchase timing, and this monitor’s larger 27-inch size gives it broad general appeal for buyers who want IPS quality without stepping up to the Dell’s specialized 240Hz esports focus.

If you’re comparing this against the Dell 27 240Hz monitor above, the deciding factor by Cyber Monday often comes down to which one restocked and whether your use case leans more toward general-purpose gaming and desktop work, favoring this Acer panel, or dedicated competitive esports, favoring the Dell.

Who it’s for: buyers who want a larger IPS display with solid refresh rate for mixed gaming and everyday desktop use, comparing against the more specialized Dell option above.

Pros

  • 27-inch IPS panel offers strong color accuracy and viewing angles
  • 120Hz refresh rate is a meaningful upgrade over standard 60Hz displays
  • Moderate demand tier keeps restock-timing pressure relatively low

Cons

  • Lower pixel density at 1080p and 27 inches than the smaller monitors in this roundup
  • 120Hz trails the Dell monitor’s 240Hz refresh rate above
  • 1080p resolution only, no QHD option at this size in this roundup

ArcticPro 22 Inch Gaming Monitor 144Hz, FHD Computer Monitor, 105% sRGB

At $67.97, this is the lowest-priced monitor in this roundup and, like the similarly priced Sceptre monitor above, a strong candidate for a Cyber Monday restock given how quickly this price-and-spec combination tends to move during Black Friday. 144Hz and 105% sRGB remain genuinely strong specs at this price regardless of the specific sale day.

Budget panels like this one benefit the most from Cyber Monday’s easy-to-restock online model, since retailers can source and relist compact, inexpensive panels faster than premium options. If this specific monitor sold out on Black Friday, there’s a reasonable chance it’s back by Monday.

Given its low price and broad buyer appeal spanning primary, secondary, and multi-monitor use cases, checking this listing relatively early in the Cyber Monday window is still a reasonable precaution, even though monitors generally restock more reliably than higher-demand GPU or laptop categories.

Who it’s for: the tightest-budget shoppers in this roundup, checking Cyber Monday for a restock of this strong price-and-spec combination.

Pros

  • Lowest price in this roundup while still offering 144Hz
  • 105% sRGB coverage suggests vibrant color output
  • Benefits from monitors’ generally reliable Cyber Monday restocking pattern

Cons

  • Real chance it needs a restock check given likely Black Friday sellout
  • 22-inch screen size is on the small side for a primary display for some users
  • 1080p resolution only

Samsung 32″ Odyssey G5 (G50F) Series QHD Gaming Monitor

At $219.99, this flat 32-inch QHD monitor sits in a moderate demand tier similar to the curved G55C above, meaning it’s a relatively low-pressure Cyber Monday check compared to the fastest-moving budget panels in this roundup. QHD resolution and VA panel characteristics remain consistent with the rest of Samsung’s Odyssey line covered here.

If you’re deciding between this monitor and the curved G55C, Cyber Monday is a reasonable time to compare both listings directly, since neither is likely to have completely sold out given their more moderate buyer pool relative to the sub-$150 panels in this roundup.

Pricing is unlikely to move meaningfully below whatever the Black Friday listing showed, so treat any Cyber Monday check here as primarily about availability and side-by-side comparison rather than expecting a further discount.

Who it’s for: buyers who want a large flat QHD display and prefer a traditional flat screen, with reasonable time to compare against the curved G55C alternative on Cyber Monday.

Pros

  • Large 32-inch QHD panel at a lower price than the curved G55C alternative
  • VA panel delivers strong contrast consistent with the Odyssey line
  • Moderate demand tier gives more time for side-by-side comparison shopping

Cons

  • Lower pixel density at 32 inches than the smaller 27-inch Odyssey G5 above
  • Lacks the immersive curve of the G55C alternative
  • VA panel response time trails IPS alternatives in fast-motion scenes

How we tested and picked

Rachel Osei has spent 8 years tracking gaming hardware pricing as a Deals Editor, using a price-history database covering multiple retailers and years of sale cycles to compare each monitor’s Cyber Monday listing against its own Black Friday price where available. Monitors as a category showed some of the most reliable Cyber Monday restocking in our tracked history, more consistent than higher-demand GPU or laptop categories covered elsewhere in this guide series.

We flagged relative restock likelihood for each panel based on price point and buyer-pool breadth, since budget monitors draw wider demand and face more sellout pressure than premium panels with narrower buyer pools. Panel type was called out explicitly for each pick given how much it affects real-world gaming and viewing experience.

Performance and color accuracy notes throughout this guide are based on published panel specifications and known characteristics of the panel type and technology used, not independent lab measurements on these specific units. Seller information was checked on every listing, prioritizing monitors sold and shipped by the manufacturer or Amazon directly.

What to look for in Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals

Understand why monitors are a strong Cyber Monday fit

Monitors ship as a single compact unit, making them naturally well-suited to Cyber Monday’s online-only, easy-to-restock model, more so than bulkier full desktops. This means monitors as a category see more reliable restocking and, occasionally, genuine Monday-specific pricing than some of the other hardware categories covered elsewhere in this guide series. If a panel you wanted sold out over Black Friday weekend, monitors specifically are one of the better categories to check for a genuine Cyber Monday recovery.

Separate restock checks from pricing expectations

As with most hardware categories, don’t expect Cyber Monday pricing to beat Black Friday on the exact same monitor listing; the more realistic expectation is availability recovery at a similar price. Compare the Monday price against the Friday price on the same listing specifically, rather than against the monitor’s regular non-sale price, to understand whether you’re looking at a genuine restock opportunity or a listing that never discounted meaningfully in the first place.

Use the lower-pressure premium tier to compare carefully

Because premium monitors see less urgent Cyber Monday demand than budget panels, this is a good window to do careful side-by-side comparisons, like deciding between a curved and flat QHD panel at similar price points, without the time pressure that applies to the fastest-selling budget doorbuster listings. Use that extra breathing room to actually read full specifications rather than defaulting to whichever option loaded first in your search results.

Keep applying the same fundamentals regardless of sale day

Matching refresh rate and resolution to your GPU’s realistic output, and choosing panel type based on your primary game genre, matter exactly as much on Cyber Monday as on Black Friday or Prime Day. A well-priced restock is only a good deal if the monitor’s actual specifications fit your use case, a principle that holds regardless of which specific sale day you’re shopping.

Mistakes buyers make during Cyber Monday gaming monitor sales

Assuming Cyber Monday monitor prices will beat Black Friday on the same panel is a common but usually incorrect assumption, given how closely monitor pricing tends to track between the two days.

Not checking for a restock of a specific monitor that sold out on Black Friday, and instead settling for a different, less well-matched panel out of Monday-morning impatience, when the original choice might reasonably reappear.

Overlooking the lower time pressure on premium panels and rushing a decision between similar options, like a curved versus flat QHD monitor, that would benefit from a more careful side-by-side comparison.

Ignoring the same GPU-matching and panel-type fundamentals that apply on any sale day, simply because Cyber Monday feels like a lower-stakes shopping day than Black Friday.

Buying a secondary or multi-monitor addition purely because of a good Cyber Monday price without an actual use case in mind, a purchase that rarely represents good value regardless of the discount depth.

Buying from an unfamiliar third-party seller because of a marginally lower price during high-traffic Cyber Monday shopping, a risk that applies to monitors just as much as any other hardware category.

Verdict

For most gamers, the Samsung 32″ Odyssey G55C at $239.81 remains the strongest overall value in this roundup, with relatively low restock-timing pressure given its moderate demand tier. Competitive esports shoppers should check the Dell 27 240Hz monitor at $109.99 for a restock if it sold out over the weekend. Budget-first buyers should check the ArcticPro 22 Inch at $67.97 and the Sceptre 22-Inch, both strong candidates for a genuine Cyber Monday restock given how quickly this price tier tends to move.

Frequently asked questions

Are Cyber Monday gaming monitor deals as good as Black Friday?

Monitor pricing tends to hold closer to Black Friday levels through Cyber Monday than some other categories, since monitors are a compact, easy-to-ship product that fits well into the online-only Monday sale model, but the deepest single discount of the year on a specific panel is still more likely to appear on Black Friday itself.

Are monitors a good category to check on Cyber Monday specifically?

Yes, monitors fall into the smaller-electronics category that Cyber Monday’s online-only, easy-to-restock model favors, making them one of the more reliable categories for finding both restocks of sold-out Black Friday panels and occasionally genuine Monday-specific markdowns.

How do I know if a Cyber Monday monitor deal is worth buying?

Compare the listed price against the same panel’s Black Friday price from a few days earlier, confirm the panel type, refresh rate, and resolution actually match your GPU and use case, and check that the discount reflects a real price-history dip rather than a relabeled reference price.

Should I buy a second monitor on Cyber Monday even if I don’t need one right now?

If a genuinely well-discounted budget panel fits a productivity or multi-monitor use case you’ve been considering, Cyber Monday’s typically strong monitor pricing makes it a reasonable time to add a secondary display, though buying purely because of a discount without an actual use case in mind rarely represents good value regardless of the sale event.

What’s different about shopping monitors on Cyber Monday versus Prime Day?

The core buying principles, matching refresh rate and resolution to your GPU and checking panel type against your game genre, apply equally on both sale days, but Cyber Monday specifically is more likely to involve checking for restocks of monitors that sold out over Black Friday weekend rather than encountering entirely fresh pricing.
