Prime Day 2025 is coming up and I'm looking to upgrade my gaming setup. Has anyone spotted good deals on gaming monitors yet? I'm particularly interested in 144Hz+ displays, preferably 27" or larger. Last year had some amazing discounts on ASUS and LG models. What are you all keeping an eye on? Any insider tips for snagging the best deals when they drop?
Honestly i think people focus way too much on the "best discount" percentage and forget about actually living with the thing for 3 years right? I'd actually disagree with just chasing the price trackers because i've had so many "deals" end up with dead pixels or weird flickering after the 12 month mark so basically you should look at the long-term reviews instead of just the sales price. Tbh the real pro tip is checking the Amazon Warehouse section during the event for things like the Samsung Odyssey G7 or even the Dell Alienware AW2725DF because you can snag a "Used - Like New" unit that someone probably just returned because they didnt like the box but it saves you way more money than the retail deals and the panel quality is usually way better than a budget 144Hz screen anyway idk maybe that's just me but it's worked out realy well for my setup.
Just found this thread and yeah, keeping those search pages open is a solid start, but honestly, you've gotta do a bit of your own detective work if you really want to score a legit steal, you know? I've been through enough Prime Days to know that some of those 'discounts' are just inflated MSRPs, so basically you need to be tracking the price history yourself. Before you dive too deep into the DIY research, are you leaning more towards a specific panel type like IPS for the color accuracy, or is a VA panel fine if it helps stay under budget? Also, what resolution are you aiming for at 27"—are we talking 1080p or are you looking to step up to 1440p? Knowing that helps narrow down which price trackers you should be setting up now so you don't get hit with FOMO when the clock starts ticking.
