'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. Computer Montior

The Samsung Odyssey monitor range remains a top favorite among ZDNET authors, and for good reason. Popular with gamers, the range offers excellent resolution and response times, as well as flat and curved models.
You can pick up a 49-inch curved model with a $600 discount at B&H. This model offers you a QLED display (5120 x 1440), 240Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms response time.
Another Odyssey model available with a hefty discount is the Neo G7 at Best Buy. This monitor, marketed for gaming usage, is equipped with a 43-inch mini 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) display, and also provides a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. The monitor is FreeSync Premium Pro compatible.
With a $110 discount, the 24-inch Lenovo ThinkVision monitor is a steal if you need a suitable monitor for working from home. With an inbuilt webcam thrown in, this monitor offers a Full HD resolution, 75Hz refresh rate, and integrated speakers.
If you're looking for a cheap gaming monitor over the holiday season, consider the $90 discount on the Acer Nitro monitor at Walmart. This monitor comes with a 31.5-inch curved display, Full HD resolution, and a 165Hz refresh rate.
While the discount isn't huge, a deal at Amazon for the Acer 20E0Q monitor is worth considering if you want an extremely affordable monitor for your home office or study. This monitor is suitable for small spaces as a 19.5-inch model and offers users a 75Hz refresh rate.
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we want, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
