Are monitors really cheaper on Prime Day?
Computer monitors are usually on sale year-round. However, Amazon Prime Day offers even greater and steeper discounts. For example, a display that may be 20% off in May could see its full retail price slashed by 35% or more. The best time to buy a monitor or a computer accessory is either during Prime Day or Black Friday.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals for products that we personally would need or highly recommend. Our experts are constantly on the hunt for products that are, at least, 20% off or are hardly ever on sale. We use established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether a laptop, pair of headphones, smartphone, or monitor is on sale and how frequently they drop.
Additionally, we look over customer reviews to figure out what matters most to people who already own the product in question and use the deals that we recommend. We combine official testing done by experts with the thoughts and opinions of the everyday user. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you buy smarter.
