It seems to come around more quickly every year. Yes, Old Granny Black Friday is here again, ready to sprinkle tech deals through your central heating system and eat the avocadoes you leave out for the wombat who pulls her chariot.

And what deals they are! Having one of the best monitors available is a huge boost for any PC gamer, and getting one that’s larger or uses new technology can be as big an upgrade for your gaming rig as a new GPU. Tech such as OLED displays and higher refresh rates can make games more colourful and add smoother motion, while increased resolutions make graphics sharper and with greater detail.

MSI monitors come with a huge range of gaming-specific features, depending on the model you choose, such as the ability to superimpose a crosshair over your game for increased accuracy (and have it change colour depending on what’s being displayed, so you can always see it) plus AI Vision to bring out the details in dark areas, and even a built-in aim magnifier – Optix Scope – to turn any weapon into a sniper rifle.

MSI has knocked some serious cash off some of its best monitors this year, with bargains for everyone who’s looking for a new screen, from great value 27-inchers to a simply huge 34in OLED.
