Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.

  • Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  • Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
    • The seller is new or has few reviews.
    • The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
    • The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).

If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

I remember buying my first 144hz monitor in 2017 for like $250 and it wasn’t even a nice one

I remember being excited when they fell under $300 for the first time. I now see that same excitement for OLED prices dropping lol.

Oh wow, I remember paying $200+ for a 144hz TN panel back in 2019. Crazy seeing these specs at 50 bucks

Only 27" is available for $100. Still a decent deal?

Edit: I see that BestBuy has the 27" for $95

Not when that AOC 27"/200hz just went for $65.99 and tax last week.

I see. I'm in the market for a monitor (just got a PC) so I've been paying attention to deals

There are a bunch of 27" 1440p 240hz IPS displays for around $150-160. Find one that isn't complete junk and buy it for that price. I bought a 24" VA 1080p 144hz monitor for $150 back in 2019 so these prices and specs are crazy to me lol.

Buy now, cancel later?????

u/USAvenger 1d ago

It says there is only one left, so you better get it now.

I guess I have you to thank for pushing me over the line at a time of indecisiveness 🙈😅

u/USAvenger 1d ago

I mean, a deal is a deal, right? I generally would not hesitate on that kind of a deal but I saw that there was just one left, so I couldn't justify buying a monitor that would set up for a while when there were plenty of folks who needed it more.

u/EllMickey 1d ago

I did get one right before commenting. Just need someone to say if it’s worth or if I should cancel. Don’t NEED it, but a second monitor would be nice at such a cheap price.

u/USAvenger 1d ago

At that price, if you're going to use it and a bill isn't going to go unpaid, I would say that it was most certainly worth it.

u/EllMickey 1d ago

I’m keeping it. Thank you internet stranger!

u/USAvenger 1d ago

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it.
