Black Friday deals on monitors, checked against their usual price

Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026. Amazon has not announced its own sale dates. Checked November 2, 2026, at Amazon: of the 235 we have watched long enough to judge, 32 are below their usual price today. The rest cost what they usually do or more, whatever badge they carry. Black Friday against Prime Big Deal Days, product by product.

Most bought: MNN 15.6" FHD 60Hz Portable Monitor $49.99, Sceptre New 22-Inch Gaming Monitor $62.97 and Dell 24 Monitor - SE2426H $99.00. Cheapest today: Dell Pro 4-in-1 USB-C Travel Hub $39.99.

A monitor’s price is set by its panel more than its brand: IPS, VA and OLED panels of the same size and resolution can sit hundreds of dollars apart, and a model’s 27-inch and 32-inch versions are separate listings with separate price histories. Refresh rate is the other lever — 144 Hz and faster is now common well below $200, so check it before assuming a cheap monitor is a basic one.

How much is a monitor?

The panel and the shape set a monitor’s price more than anything else: OLED and ultrawide screens sit well above the rest, so one average across the shelf describes none of them. The type and size tables on this page are today’s Amazon prices for every new monitor we track.

OLED and ultrawide are where the price jumps

OLED monitors sit at the top of the shelf: each pixel makes its own light, so black is truly black and the response is close to instant, at a price well above an IPS or VA screen of the same size. Ultrawide monitors, 21:9 or 32:9 at resolutions such as 3440 × 1440, replace two screens with one and sit above ordinary 27-inch ones.

A 144 Hz screen is no longer a premium: in the type table gaming monitors sit level with everyday ones, and the refresh-rate table shows where the price does climb.

What the refresh rate is for

Video plays the same at 60 Hz as at 240 Hz, since it is filmed at 24 to 60 frames a second. A higher rate makes scrolling smoother and games more fluid, but only when the computer or console sends that many frames per second; integrated laptop graphics will not fill a 240 Hz screen in current games.

Portable monitors

Portable monitors, slim screens of around 15.6 inches, fill the bottom of the shelf. One USB-C cable carries both picture and power only if the laptop’s USB-C port carries video, called DisplayPort Alt Mode; otherwise the monitor needs HDMI and a separate power cable.

Monitors by type

Typed by what the listing calls itself; one that names no type is left out. Same prices as the panel above: one per product, new condition.

Monitors by screen size

Size is read from the listing, rounded down to the whole inch. Same prices as the panel above: one per product, new condition.

34-inch$358.00$296.16–$449.9731

Monitors by resolution

Resolution is read from the listing title — 4K, UHD or 3840×2160; 1440p, QHD or a width by 1440; 1080p, FHD or a width by 1080 — so an ultrawide counts by its height, and a listing that names none is left out. Same prices as the panel above: one per product, new condition.

4K$449.99$288.40–$741.9553

Monitors by refresh rate

Refresh rate is the highest the listing title states. The 144Hz page counts 144 to 239Hz, where the 165Hz and 180Hz panels sit; the 240Hz page counts 240Hz and faster. Same prices as the panel above: one per product, new condition.

What is the average monitor price?
$379.22 across the 262 monitors we can price today, against a middle price of $229.99. The average sits above the middle because a few of the dearest models pull it, so the middle price is the better guide to what a typical one costs. One price per product, the cheapest live offer, read in the last few hours.
Is a 144Hz monitor worth it?
For games, yes, if your graphics card or console can reach that frame rate: motion looks smoother and input feels quicker. For documents and video, a 60 to 100 Hz screen is enough.
Will a portable monitor work with my laptop over USB-C?
Only if the laptop’s USB-C port carries video, called DisplayPort Alt Mode; the laptop maker’s spec sheet says which ports do. Otherwise connect it by HDMI and power it from a separate USB-C charger.

A 18% band is real but not dramatic. Worth checking the history before buying; not worth holding out for months.
