Amazon’s early Black Friday pricing reached gaming monitors this week, and the batch is strong at every level of the category. A 240Hz QHD panel costs $170 tonight, three QD-OLED screens sit under $410, a 350Hz Samsung undercuts its list by $162, and the deepest cut here takes $220 off.
Ten monitors, every one QHD or wider, every price checked live tonight.
1. Acer Nitro XV272U W2, the $170 headline deal
The headline deal earns the spot. Acer’s Nitro XV272U W2 runs a 27-inch WQHD IPS panel at 240Hz over DisplayPort 1.4, with DisplayHDR 400 certification, 400 nits of brightness and 99% of the sRGB gamut. AMD FreeSync Premium keeps frames tear-free, the ErgoStand adjusts for height, tilt, swivel and pivot, and two 2W speakers handle basic audio without a soundbar on the desk. Acer VisionCare and a blue-light filter ride along for long sessions.
One catch: HDMI tops out at 144Hz, so plug your PC into DisplayPort and save the two HDMI ports for consoles. Acer’s own US store sells the W2 at $169.99 today and Amazon matches it, so the 15% cut against the $199.99 list reads modest next to the OLED deals below. In dollars per hertz, though, nothing else in this batch comes close.

2. LG UltraGear 27GR83Q-B, the deepest cut here
The biggest discount in the batch belongs to LG. The 27GR83Q-B pairs a 27-inch QHD IPS panel with 240Hz, a 1ms response time, DisplayHDR 400 and 95% of the DCI-P3 gamut, and its HDMI 2.1 ports take full-rate signals from current consoles as easily as from a PC.
At $279.90 against a $499.99 list you keep $220.09. G-Sync and FreeSync Premium both run here, so your card choice locks you out of nothing.

3. Samsung Odyssey OLED G5, where OLED starts
OLED starts here. Samsung’s Odyssey OLED G5 puts a 27-inch QD-OLED panel with true blacks and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio under a glare-free coating, running 180Hz over DisplayPort with a 0.03ms response time.
Pantone Validated color makes it a sensible pick for creators who game on the same screen after work.
HDMI caps at 144Hz and typical brightness sits at 200 nits. Both are fair trades at $319.99 for a first OLED.

4. MSI MAG 274QP QD-OLED X24, the cheapest 240Hz OLED
MSI’s X24 undercuts every other 240Hz OLED tonight. The 26.5-inch third-generation QD-OLED panel answers in 0.03ms, carries ClearMR 13000 certification and covers 99% of DCI-P3 with calibration at Delta E under 2. Two HDMI 2.1 ports plus DisplayPort 1.4 run PC and console at full rate.
There’s no USB hub, and HDR peaks at 400 nits. The three-year OLED warranty counts for more.

5. Samsung Odyssey OLED G6, the brighter 240Hz OLED
The G61SH is Samsung’s faster OLED. It keeps the 27-inch QHD QD-OLED formula and steps up to 240Hz, adding HDR10+ Gaming, Pantone Validated color and 400-nit HDR peaks. FreeSync Premium and G-Sync Compatible cover both GPU camps without an adapter or a compromise setting.
Ninety dollars over the OLED G5 buys 240Hz and the stronger HDR.

6. Samsung Odyssey G6 G60F, the 350Hz speed pick
Not everyone wants OLED, and the G60F is the speed pick for everyone else. Its Fast IPS panel runs 350Hz at QHD, the fastest refresh rate in this roundup, with a 1ms response time, DisplayHDR 400 and 350 nits of brightness, and the ergonomic stand adjusts every way that counts.
Esports players chase frame rate over contrast, and this is the monitor built for them. No OLED in this batch reaches 350Hz at any price.

27-inch Fast IPS · 350Hz · 1ms · DisplayHDR 400

7. LG UltraGear 34G600A-B, ultrawide from $279.99
Ultrawide starts with LG’s 34G600A-B. Its 34-inch VA panel curves at 1800R around 3440×1440 resolution, runs 160Hz with 1ms Motion Blur Reduction and covers 99% of sRGB with HDR10 support. A pair of 5W stereo speakers and a stand with height, tilt and swivel adjustment make it desk-ready out of the box.
VA contrast runs 4000:1, so dark scenes carry depth the IPS screens here can’t match.

8. ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B, the tighter curve
The second ultrawide curves harder. ASUS bends its 34-inch VA panel at 1500R, pushes it to 165Hz and adds Extreme Low Motion Blur for cleaner motion in fast games. DisplayHDR 400 and a 550-nit peak separate it from the LG above, and it’s the only ultrawide in the batch with a USB hub.
ASUS sells the VG34VQL1B at $299 from its own US store and Amazon matches it, so the value case needs no discount math.

9. Samsung Odyssey G5 G50F, the $196 floor
The G50F sets the floor for this batch, and the floor is high. Samsung’s Fast IPS panel runs QHD at 180Hz with a 1ms response time, 300 nits and HDR10. That’s a real gaming specification at $195.99, under two hundred dollars, and first QHD buyers and second-monitor shoppers should start here and put the savings toward the graphics card.

Price: $195.99 $279.99 (save $84.00, 30% off)

10. Samsung Odyssey G9 G91F, the 49-inch closer
The G9 closes the list because nothing else looks like it. Forty-nine inches of DQHD at 5120×1440, curved at 1000R, replace two 27-inch monitors with one continuous screen.
The VA panel runs 144Hz with a 1ms response time, DisplayHDR 600 and FreeSync Premium Pro, so racing rigs and flight sims get the full wrap, and picture-by-picture mode splits the panel back into two screens for work.
Samsung’s own store lists the G91F at $999.99, and Amazon’s $955.37 undercuts the maker by $44.62. The saving is the smallest in this roundup. The screen is the opposite: nothing else here wraps 49 inches of game around your peripheral vision, and nothing else replaces a dual-monitor desk in one panel.
Samsung Odyssey G9 (G91F)
49-inch DQHD VA curved · 144Hz · 1ms · DisplayHDR 600 · FreeSync Premium Pro · HDR10+ · ergonomic stand
Price: $955.37 $999.99 (save $44.62, 4% off)

Pick by the game you play most. Competitive shooters want the G60F’s 350Hz or the LG 27GR83Q-B at 44% off. Story games and mixed use point to the OLEDs, where the G50SF at $319.99 is the cheapest ticket in. Everyone else should look hard at the Acer: 240Hz QHD at $170 is the price this category was supposed to reach next year, arrived early.
Every one of them is a current model from its maker’s gaming line.
