The Best Computer Monitor Deals for April 2023

We’re at a time of year when you can tell the days are getting longer. It’s especially easy to notice when you settle in for an evening of binge-watching, and you find that the sun’s later rays have made it a lot harder to see your TV. We can’t change your living room setup (or speed up the rotation of the Earth), but we can help you find a brighter, sharper, or larger screen for better springtime viewing–and save you some money on it too.

If you haven’t sized up monitors in a while, screen size is probably the most important factor. Beyond that, most of us can get by with a full HD screen (splurge on a 4K panel if you want to future-proof). 

Today’s average screen brightness is about 300 nits, but if you’re working in a bright space or in sunlight, finding a panel with 400-500 nits could be worth the extra spend. Similarly, higher refresh speeds mean sharper images, so gamers will want a 75Hz-144Hz screen.

(If your PC has an HDMI-out, consider one of these discounted TVs as a monitor. They’ll provide streaming capabilities when you’re not at work.)
