Epic Memorial Day gaming monitor deals start now — save up to $800 on Samsung, Alienware and more
Memorial Day sales are kicking off, and there's no better to take your PC gaming setup up a notch by landing some massive savings on a gaming monitor — and I'm talking about 240Hz OLED displays offering glorious visuals.
With massive discounts such as this 49-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 that's now $800 off at Best Buy and pocket-friendly deals including this 24-inch Acer Nitro KG241Y for just $109 at Amazon, there are plenty of gamer-ready displays I'd put in my basket.
As someone who tests monitors for a living, these are some of the best gaming monitors you can grab. From ultrawide beasts to panels with high refresh rates, give your gaming setup an upgrade and save while you're at it with these Memorial Day deals.
Oh, and if you're looking to match that monitor with a gaming rig, don't miss out on these gaming laptop deals.
This Acer Nitro KG241Y monitor is already a top pick for those looking to game on a budget, but this deal now brings it down to just $109. There's great value here for competitive gamers, including its 165Hz refresh rate, 1ms response rate and AMD FreeSync support. And with extremely thin bezels, this 24-inch (1920 x 1080) display is quite the looker. It isn't the most premium, but for just over $100, this is a fantastic, affordable option.
Samsung's Odyssey G4 is an excellent pick for high-level competitive play, and that's thanks to its 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. It boasts a 27-inch (1920 x 1080) IPS panel with Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync support, along with two HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4. It's better for PC gamers, as current-gen console owners will want HDMI 2.1. However, with its $90 discount, it's hard to go wrong for high refresh rate action.
Looking for the next step up? That's where the Samsung Odyssey G5 comes in. Now $120 off the price, you can expect a 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS display with a 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response rate. That's ideal for competitive and stunning single-player titles alike, and you can expect the same Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync support to stop screen tearing.
A 43-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response rate, now for just under $500? This Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 offers just that, featuring AMD FreeSync support and HDR10+. If you've got the space and enjoy big-screen gaming, this mighty fine panel will do the trick.
We're big fans of the LG UltraGear OLED 27, and now that it's $350 off, this is an easy recommendation. This 27-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) OLED panel delivers 240Hz refresh rates and 0.03ms response times, Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync support, DIsplay HDR400 Ture Black certification and excellent visuals. Beware, it doesn't get too bright, and if you lose its remote, then some features won't be available (so keep it close!).
If it's Alienware, you know it'll come with great gaming potential, at a high price. With this Alienware AW3225QF gaming monitor, though, it's now $300 off, and well worth checking out. It features a 32-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response rate, along with Nvidia G-Sync support. In our 4.5-star Alienware AW3225QF review, we adored its high-sped refresh rates and stunning visuals, and at this price, you will, too.
This extremely ultrawide Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is still one of the best gaming monitors we've tested, with its crazy 49-inch dual-QHD (5120 x 1440) curved OLED display with a 32:9 aspect ratio, 240Hz refresh rate, 1800R curvature and 0.03ms response times. It's all you could want in a gaming monitor but make sure you have room on your desk to set it up. Along with its AMD FreeSync support, this gaming monitor is a dream, and it's now set at $999.

Asia shares track Wall St gains before payrolls test
By Wayne Cole SYDNEY (Reuters) -Asia shares firmed on Monday as seemingly unquenchable demand for technology companies lifted S&P 500 futures to another all-time peak, while the dollar dipped on concerns U.S. jobs data will show enough weakness to justify larger rate cuts. Investors were also keeping a wary eye on the progress of a huge U.S. tax-cutting and spending bill slowly making its way through the Senate, with signs it may not make it by President Donald Trump's preferred July 4 deadline. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would add $3.3 trillion to the nation's debt, testing foreign appetite for U.S. Treasuries. There was no doubting the demand for the U.S. tech sector and megacap growth stocks including Nvidia, Alphabet and Amazon. Nasdaq futures rose another 0.3%, while S&P 500 e-minis added 0.2%. The bullish sentiment spilled over into Japan's Nikkei which rose 1.0%, while South Korean stocks gained 0.5%. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan firmed 0.1%. A holiday on Friday means U.S. payrolls are a day early, with analysts forecasting a rise of 110,000 in June with the jobless rate ticking up to 4.3%. The resilience of the labour market is a major reason the majority of Federal Reserve members say they can afford to wait on cutting rates until they can gauge the true impact of tariffs on inflation, so a weak report would stoke speculation of a rate cut in July rather than September. "While initial jobless claims retreated somewhat from their recent high, continuing claims jumped higher yet again," noted Michael Feroli, head of U.S. economics at JPMorgan. "Consumers' assessment of labor market conditions also deteriorated in the latest confidence report." "Both of these developments suggest that the unemployment rate in June should tick up to 4.3%, with a significant risk of reaching 4.4%." The latter outcome would likely see futures push up the chance of a July easing from the current 18% and price in more than the present 63 basis points of cuts for this year. DOLLAR DOLDRUMS Fed Chair Jerome Powell will have an opportunity to repeat his cautious outlook when he joins several other central bank chiefs at the European Central Bank forum in Sintra on Tuesday. The prospect of an eventual policy easing has helped Treasuries weather worries about the U.S. budget deficit and the huge amount of borrowing it entails. Yields on 10-year Treasuries were steady at 3.27%, having fallen 9 basis points last week. The dollar has not fared so well, in part due to concerns tariffs and chaotic policies from the White House will drag on economic growth and erode the country's claim to exceptionalism. The euro was near its highest since September 2021 at $1.1731, having climbed 1.7% last week, while sterling stood near a similar peak at $1.3719. The dollar was down a fraction at 144.48 yen, after losing 1% last week, while the dollar index dipped to 97.163. James Reilly, a senior markets economist at Capital Economics, noted the dollar had fallen by more at this stage in the year than in any previous year since the U.S. moved to a free-floating exchange rate in 1973. "At this point, further weakness could become self-reinforcing as underhedged European/Asian portfolios chase the move," he added. "So, we suspect that this could be a pivotal period for the greenback – either it turns around here or there is another 5% or so fall around the corner." In commodity markets, the general revival in risk sentiment has undermined gold, which slipped to $3,266 an ounce and further away from April's record top of $3,500. [GOL/] Oil prices continued to struggle on concerns about plans for increased output from OPEC+, which contributed to a 12% slide last week. [O/R] Brent dropped a further 55 cents to $67.22 a barrel, while U.S. crude eased 68 cents to $64.84 per barrel.

I'm certain all our recommended Mini LED TVs are about to get hefty discounts, but something better may be on the horizon
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As one of the members of the team who tends to review Mini LED TVs, having done more than I care to count at the end of 2024 and start of 2025, I like to think I've got a pretty good read on the category. It's also why I'm frequently the member of the What Hi-Fi? home cinema team that keeps an eye on Mini LED TV prices, which in turn helps us offer accurate buying advice. So, when I tell you, with Prime Day 2025 my deals Spidey Sense has dialled up to 11 on some of the top options in our best Mini LED TVs guide, it hopefully means something. Specifically, I'm expecting Amazon, as well as specialist retailers, to offer huge discounts on two key sets. The first is the Award-winning, five-star TCL C805K, which is the top option we recommend to most people right now. This is because the set is great value at full price, but is coming to the end of its lifecycle with new sets from TCL hitting the market. We've already seen a wealth of hefty discounts on it over the past few months, and traditionally Prime Day brings 'best ever' prices to TCL's outgoing models. This was the case with the now retired TCL C845K last year, which was one of Prime Day 2024's best Mini LED bargains. If history repeats with the C805K, people looking for a fantastic big screen TV that won't break the bank. If that sounds appealing, I'd suggest keeping a particularly close eye on the 85-inch model, which we reviewed. The second, and in some ways bigger deal (see what I did there), is the Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini LED. Sure, it isn't perfect, hence the four-star rating. But when I tested it against similarly priced rivals, it proved to be the grown up in the room thanks to its focus on authenticity and consistency. This lets it offer a much more true to life, distraction free, experience than rivals, including the Hisense U7N, which is the main other Mini LED this price I recommend to most people. The main reason I think this one will be the bigger deal is that, as an event hosted by Amazon, Fire devices tend to get the biggest discounts during Prime Day. This has always been the case since I started covering the event. Last year the regular Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED, which was the firm's flagship at the time, was nearly half price during the event. If anything close to that happens to the Fire TV Omni Mini LED, it could be the affordable TV deal of the year, so far. My only word of caution on pulling the trigger now is that we're about to test a fresh batch of Mini LED TVs, so our advice may change in the not too distant future. If you walked past our review rooms this very second you'd spot key sets forming an orderly line, including the TCL Q6C, Panasonic W95B and Samsung QN90F. These are three key sets that left a very positive impression when we saw them at their respective launch events. Which is why, if you want to get the best Mini LED TV money can buy, it may be worth waiting and seeing how the new models compare to their predecessors and our current recommendations, when our full reviews to go live.
