I review monitors for a living — and these are 11 Prime Day monitor deals worth your cash

This MSI Pro monitor is a great choice for those who want a decent monitor for well under $100. It has a 24-inch 1080p panel and a 144Hz refresh rate. Support for AMD FreeSync also ensures a smooth gaming experience when you're done with work.

If you just need a simple monitor for work, then you can't go wrong with the Samsung 24" (S30GD). It has a 24-inch 1080p IPS panel, a 100Hz refresh rate, and even a game mode. This humble monitor won't win awards, but it'll get the job done and save you money.

This LG monitor is another great Prime Day find, thanks to its sub-$100 price. It has FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Since it supports HDR10, it will also offer a brighter image when viewing HDR content. This isn't the fanciest monitor, but it'll get the job done.

The Acer KB272 is a great Prime Day find as it's a 27-inch monitor for under $100. It offers the basics, such as a 1080p display and a 120Hz refresh rate. FreeSync support and a 1ms response time also help ensure a smooth gaming experience.

The Samsung 27" Essential S3 (S36GD) is effectively a larger version of the S30GD, only with a 27-inch curved display. Like its smaller counterpart, it also boasts 1080p resolution and a 100Hz refresh rate. The curved panel should help you focus more on what you're working on. This is a nice Prime Day deal overall.

The Acer Nitro KG241Y is already an affordable gaming monitor, but it costs even less now thanks to Prime Day. It features a 23.8-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display, a 165Hz refresh rate, and 1ms response time. AMD FreeSync support will also ensure games run smoothly. Naturally, this monitor is also great for everyday work.

This Dell 24 Plus is the definition of a basic but solid office monitor. It has a 23.8-inch 1080p display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, which is actually pretty great for gaming when you're not on the clock. It even has a pair of built-in 3W speakers.

The Samsung S39GD is a nice choice if you're looking for an affordable 32-inch curved monitor. In addition to its 1080p resolution, it also has built-in speakers and a smooth 100Hz refresh rate. Of course, the main selling point here is the curved panel.

For a higher-grade gaming monitor that's still affordable, the Asus ROG Strix 27 is a solid choice. It has a 27-inch (2560x1440) display with a smooth 180Hz refresh rate and low 1ms response time. This is another great gaming monitor to consider buying during Prime Day for all the features it offers.

Ultra-wide screen monitors are great for productivity, so if you're looking for one, the Samsung ViewFinity S5 is an excellent choice. This particular model has a 34-inch panel with an expansive 21:9 aspect ratio and sharp 2560 × 1440 resolution. Compatibility with AMD FreeSync and the 100Hz refresh rate also makes for decent gaming.

The Dell 27 Plus (S2725QS) is a monitor that can do it all for under $300. It packs a 27-inch 4K display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which means everything will look sharp and run smoothly. It even has integrated speakers, which you don't always get on monitors. This Prime Day discount isn't the steepest, but it's nice to save even $20 on such a great monitor.
