Dell is getting aggressive with desktop monitor deals this season, with the Dell S2721HN getting some serious action at over 50% off. In human terms, that’s a $160 discount, moving the price to $150 from the regular price of $310. We’ve only seen a deal like this on the Dell S2721HN once before, during last week’s Prime Early Access deals. So, if you missed it then, don’t make the same mistake again. Beware, though, as this is a limited-quantity deal, the only way to lock it in is by completing your order!

Why you should buy the Dell S2721HN now

The Dell S2721HN is the perfect monitor for the neat, wants-to-be-organized user. There are few monitors at this price point more satisfying to wake up to in a brightly lit room, coffee in hand, ready to get to work. It all comes down to the features Dell has optimized the Dell S2721HN with. Using Dell’s EasyArrange software you can keep your apps organized and arranged how you like, so keeping tabs on your email while popping into a Zoom meeting is no problem. The morning light that keeps you energized won’t affect your screen, either, with the Dell S2721HN’s LED backlighting and antiglare screen coating.

But, what’s it like under the hood? It’s sporting the fairly standard 1080p monitor resolution, which our computer monitor buying guide will remind you isn’t the greatest available. However, with a 4-millisecond response time and 75Hz refresh rate for the monitor’s 16.7 million colors, all but the most intensive of users will be happy. The whole package is a worker’s dream, as you don’t need to have (and pay for) hyper-tuned specs to be happy.

Again, this is your big chance to get a cool Dell monitor with more than 50% of the price removed. This drops a $310 monitor down to a very affordable $150. It’s really hard to imagine the price ever going lower, as the same price was recently featured in the Prime Early Access sales last week. Perhaps Dell is using the limited-quantity deal to empty out their remaining inventory. In any event, if you do happen to take advantage of the deal, take your $160 in savings and look at our best desktop computer deals as there’s no use having a fancy monitor without a computer to go with it!

This Alienware 25-inch 500Hz gaming monitor is $300 off today
Overwatch 2 running on the Alienware 500Hz gaming monitor.

If you're the type of person who plays competitive games and wants to get into the esports scene, then having a high-refresh-rate monitor can make all the difference in the world. While there are a ton of options out there, probably one of the fastest, if not the fastest, is Alienware's whopping 500Hz gaming monitor, which is such a high amount that it's hard to wrap our heads around. Of course, that high refresh comes at a significant cost, but luckily, this Memorial Day deal will let you snag it for just $400 rather than the usual eye-watering $700.

Why you should buy the Alienware 500Hz Gaming Monitor
The Alienware 500Hz Gaming Monitor is a very peculiar monitor because it occupies an interesting niche that's hard to justify for a lot of other folks. It's a monitor that is made to cater to a very specific set of competitive games, which are primarily games like Valorant, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, and even League of Legends. And while it's true that these games are the ones that are going to get the most benefit, other games also have a much smoother experience, even if it's a sort of thing that will give you diminishing returns. Also, it's worth noting that, even though it runs at 1080p, you're still going to need something like an RTX 4090 to really reach that 500hz refresh rate, so you are going to add considerably to the cost.

Samsung’s 57-inch 4K monitor is $800 off for Memorial Day
The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57-inch mini-LED gaming monitor placed on a desk.

There are a lot of excellent uses for widescreen monitors, and one of the best is using them for better immersion when playing video games. Of course, some of the best widescreen monitors really need to run on high-end gaming PCs with powerful GPUs, like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9. If you do have something like an RTX 4090, then you're in luck because not only is the Odyssey Neo G9 one of the best monitors on the market, but Samsung has also discounted it heavily down to$1,700 from the original $2,500.

Why you should buy the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9
This massive 57-inch widescreen monitor runs a 7,680 x 2,160 resolution, so you can really crank the visual quality if you want to get the best graphics you want. Alternatively, you could take advantage of the very impressive 240Hz refresh rate at max resolution, which is a difficult thing to achieve, so it's only really found in more expensive monitors. You'll also be happy to know that you get a 1ms GtG response time that's perfect for competitive gamers and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to help avoid screen tears or ghosting when running it at higher refresh rates. The 1000R curved screen will also help quite a bit with immersion when gaming.

Samsung’s 49-inch Odyssey gaming monitor is $500 off right now

If you have a high-end gaming PC that runs something like an RTX 4090, then you'll likely want to pair it with a high-end screen that can take full advantage of all the power you have under the hood. That not only means grabbing something with high resolution but something that can also handle a high refresh rate. Luckily, the Samsung Odyssey G9 can handle both, and more on top of that, given that it's an ultra-widescreen. Of course, it does go for an eye-watering $1,300 at MSRP, but this Memorial Day weekend deal from Samsung brings it down to a more reasonable $800.

Why you should buy the Samsung Odyssey G9
The massive 49-inch, 1000R curved Samsung Odyssey G9 has an absolute ton of tech under the hood, the least of which is the 5,120 x 1,440 resolution and lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate. Given that it runs at 1440p, that means it won't tax a card like an RTX 4090 at a higher refresh rate, and if you absolutely love action-packed racing and FPS games, then you should manage to get relatively close to a 200FPS, even with higher graphical settings. Even if you have something like an RTX 4080, you should still be able to make some compromises here and there to get you either to higher graphical settings or higher FPS.
