Are monitors really cheaper on Prime Day?
In our experience, monitors often see some excellent discounts during the two-day Prime Day sales event. Suppliers such as Samsung, LG, and Sony are just a few among many that slash the price of their monitor ranges by up to 30% or 40%, making Prime Day a great opportunity to upgrade your current hardware.
How do we choose these Prime Day deals?
ZDNET’s authors and reviewers will only include offerings that catch our eye: products we have hands-on experience with, want, or would recommend to our readers.
We use our own experience, knowledge, and research to judge the value of a deal listed during Prime Day, along with price tracking tools and services to compare historical price data and determine whether we consider a deal to have real value or not. We also take into account the price itself: even if we’ve seen a product priced lower in the past, if the new price is still valuable, we’ll consider listing the product.
We like to see discounts of at least 20%, but in some cases (like Apple deals, which often have a smaller discount available) we may still include a deal if it shows good value for money.
