We're in the throes of Amazon's big summer Prime Day sales event, and it's a great time to save serious money on gear you've been meaning to buy all year.

I know I for one have been meaning to pick up a new monitor for ages now because my aging 1080p 24-incher just doesn't cut it anymore. I'm lucky enough to get to test and review some of the best monitors on the market for work, and having all these killer displays coming across my desk has given me ample time to see how much greener (and sharper, and more vibrant) the grass looks on the other side of the OLED divide.

That's why I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on a new 45-inch LG UltraGear OLED monitor, which was $1,699 and is now $999 @ Amazon for a limited time. Sure, $1k is a serious chunk of change to drop on a new monitor, but this 3.5K OLED ultrawide curved display would be a serious upgrade for my PC setup.

But you don't have to spend that much to get a great deal on a display this Prime Day—I know because I've been scouring the Internet all week, and I've hand-picked my favorite monitor deals to share with you here.

So whether you're looking to spend $100 or $1,000 on a new monitor, I think these deals are some of the best you can get this week.
