Black Friday is here, and all the big-name retailers have already launched their Black Friday monitordeals, so if a new screen is on your shopping list, now is definitely the time to buy.
I've seen lot of amazing deals on monitors, and the sheer choice of deals can be overwhelming. But I've drilled down and assembled a selection which I think represents the best value at a range of price points, from sub $150 budget monitors, through mid-range bargains, right up to premium color-critical displays.
I've prioritized image quality throughout, and selected IPS-based LCD screens, as these have enhanced color and contrast consistency versus other LCD types - a must for accurate image or video editing. Some deals may seem temptingly cheap, but on closer inspection, they're not all that great and so I've not included them: screens with lower-than-average resolutions being typical examples, as these would result in a blocky, pixelated image, and are a false economy when superior, higher-res displays cost only marginally more. For a photographer, like myself, image quality is everything.
So what are you waiting for? Read on to see our best Black Friday monitor deals!
