How do we pick our top Prime Day monitor deals?
Our main aim here at Creative Bloq is to be a helpful and inspiring resource for creatives around the world. And that means for all creatives that work with computers and monitors – as we do. We've got several years' experience reviewing the best and the worst monitors, whether that's screens that will do what you need them to do for basic work, or the pro-level best monitors for video editors.
So, before we report on a monitor deal, we will consider a host of different things. First, is the monitor any good? We look at the brightness, resolution, panel technology, contrast ratio, supported colours, colour space coverage, viewing angles, connectivity, general build and, of course, the price you're being asked to pay for all this.
We take all these specs, and give you our informed opinion on how this monitor sits in context to its competitors, at the price that's being asked. Once we've found a good monitor, and a good deal price, we make sure that the deal price isn't bettered by any other retailer. You see, we don't just report on Amazon deals over Prime Day. Deals can be from any retailer out there – we're just interested in bringing you great deals.

We can expect to see savings of around $20 to $40 on cheap FHD screens and discounts of up to around $300 to $400 on large and expensive 4K screens.
