What is the best time to buy a PC monitor?

Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer the best discounts, especially on gaming, with back to school and clearance as good windows.

Are monitor sales reliable?

Not always: some 'was' prices start from an inflated level. Check the price history to tell a real drop.

Should I wait for Black Friday for a gaming monitor?

Often yes: that's when absolute drops are biggest on gaming monitors. Watch your model's history.

When to buy a PC monitor for less

Updated : July 2026

A PC monitor's price, office display or gaming panel, varies a lot over the year. Here's when to buy a PC monitor at the best price.

The best periods

Black Friday & Cyber Monday: by far the best discounts on monitors, especially gaming. See Black Friday 2026.
Back to school (September): good period, computing offers.
Clearance as new panels arrive: previous models drop.

Gaming vs office

Gaming monitors (high refresh, large panels) see the biggest absolute drops during events. Office displays, cheaper, are regularly on sale — always compare to the real price.

The essential reflex

Check the model's price history: in this category, some "was" prices restart from an inflated level. Also compare retailers.

The simple method

Target your display and let UniverTrack track its price and alert you when the drop is real. See also when to buy a laptop.
