Best Monitor Deals: Best Prices at Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg and More – CNET [CNET]

In the early days of the pandemic, I bought a new monitor when my wife joined me in working from home and our dining room turned into a home office. I waffled between a 27-inch QHD and a 32-inch UHD display, each of which provides a sufficiently sharp image for the size of the panel at an approachable price. I opted for a 27-inch QHD monitor (quad HD or 2,560×1,440-pixel resolution) that didn’t cost less than $300, but I came close to pulling the trigger on a 32-inch UHD display (ultra HD or 3,840×2,160 pixels) that offered more room and more pixels for only a bit more money. 

Between these two sizes, you can find a display to fit your desk space, work needs and budget. Creative pros and gamers with concerns about color gamut and refresh rates will require a higher-end display than you’ll see here, but these models are large enough for most needs with sufficient pixel density to produce a sharp image.

Best 27-inch monitor deals

These 27-inch models offer a QHD resolution that you might also see referred to as 2K. They offer more screen real estate and better resolution for not much more money than a 24-inch, FHD (full HD or 1,920×1,080 pixels) display. You might also encounter 27-inch 4K displays, but in my experience, a QHD resolution is more than adequate when stretched across a 27-inch panel.

The next step up in size, resolution and price from a 27-inch QHD display is a 32-inch UHD display. UHD is also commonly referred to as 4K.
