There\u2019s no time like Black Friday<\/a> for PC gamers<\/a> looking to make their yearly upgrades. If a gaming monitor is on your list or a wishlist you\u2019re shopping for \u2014 be it an excessively curved ultrawide 1440p OLED, a 27-inch flat 1080p display, and anything in between \u2014 you were right to wait. We found enough deals on gaming monitors for PC and consoles to make it worthwhile to tell you about the best ones here.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t many good reasons to buy a new 1080p gaming monitor these days \u2014 unless you\u2019re new to PC gaming and trying to get into the hobby while spending as little as possible. The prices for solid 1440p (also known as QHD) and 4K monitors have come down significantly, and I recommend spending just a bit more than you may think you should on a new monitor. Compromising may come back to bite you later, and you\u2019ll be glad to have the sharper resolution and extra features the next time your upgrade your other PC hardware.<\/p>\n

One other thing worth mentioning is that you should carefully consider your monitor\u2019s aspect ratio. Most are 16:9, making everything from games, movies, and TV shows look as they do on a TV. If you decide to get a 21:9 or wider monitor, keep in mind that not all PC games support ultrawide resolutions, and consoles are locked to 16:9 aspect ratio output.<\/p>\n
