We're approaching peak back-to-school territory, but don't panic, as there's still time to grab some tech supplies for college. Need a display? I've found 3 deals on top-spec monitors, including some of the best monitors for graphic artists, that I think will be perfect for creative students.

My top pick is the 32-inch 4K Samsung Smart Monitor M8, as a premium dorm room essential for students seeking a do-it-all screen for studying, streaming, and gaming. It's $200 off directly from Samsung, bringing the price to just $499 – but that's not including Samsung's Student Discount offers either, so there's potential to save even more when you register.

Today's best deals on student monitors

Overview: This monitor from Samsung is a great choice for all kinds of general use. It offers superb 4K UHD quality with AI upscaling and an AI picture optimiser to make sure you always have the best clarity for your intended use, whether that's work or play.

It also has smart TV apps built into the monitor (no need for a Fire TV Stick) and the Samsung Gaming Hub requires no PC or console to stream your fave titles. Take a look at our Samsung M8 review for more details.

Overview: The Odyssey series from Samsung is hugely popular with gamers, and for good reason. These displays can seriously keep up, with a mega 240Hz refresh rate and glare-free coating, which makes it 54% less glossy than conventional anti-reflection film.

In other words, the contrast is amazing, you get crystal-clear 4K quality, and the response time means zero lag.

Overview: MSI is another great tech manufacturer, but this monitor ditches any premium price tags and comes in at just $89.99 after this deal. It has 30+ five-star ratings on Best Buy, and offers desirable specs such as a 120Hz refresh rate, Adaptive Sync, built-in speakers, and a good array of ports for the price.

Overview: For gamers who don't have much to spend, you won't find a better deal than this premium Acer Nitro monitor for under $50. Designed for gamers, it has a ton of great features, including a generous 200Hz refresh rate, and a 0.5 millisecond response rate for lag-free gaming.
