How to Choose a Monitor if You’re Shopping on Prime Day

When choosing a monitor on Prime Day, you’ll want to consider your primary purpose for the monitor. Will it be for general personal use, gaming, or work?

Larger screens provide more space for multitasking while working, while higher resolution like QHD or 4K will provide sharper text ideal for design work. If you’re primarily working with documents, emailing, or browsing the web, a full HD monitor will likely be sufficient.

Gaming monitors often come with higher refresh rates to help you keep on top of play, and AMD FreeSync technology to prevent tearing while in the game. Look for features like blue light reduction and anti-glare to help prevent eye fatigue, and make sure that you have the appropriate adapters for the connection type (HDMI, USB-C, or DisplayPort).

Finally, consider the discount amount and final price since Prime Day is the perfect time to find a quality monitor at a value price.

I tried Dell’s sleek XPS 13 and it’s a breath of fresh air for budget Windows laptops
Dell shrank the XPS 13’s price without stripping away its premium identity
Dell XPS 13 Hands-on

When Apple launched the MacBook Neo, it reset my expectations for affordable laptops. Its $599 starting price paired an aluminum body with the polish people expect from a MacBook, leaving Windows manufacturers with a difficult target to chase. While that price has since risen, it is still a solid laptop for the price it is listed at.

During Computex 2026, I saw a possible answer to this MacBook. After spending time around several affordable Windows laptops at the show, I wrote about how the category finally appeared ready to move beyond plastic bodies and poor displays-- and one of the models that I was particularly looking forward to was the Dell XPS 13.

Study says relying on AI can turn doubt into false confidence
AI is making it harder for people to say "I don't know."

You'd think getting wrong advice would make you more cautious. New research says the opposite happens when that advice comes from AI. A study led by Valerio Capraro, a psychology professor at the University of Milan-Bicocca, found that incorrect AI advice made people less accurate, yet noticeably more confident in their answers (via IBM Think).

The study also found that people who received incorrect AI advice became far less willing to admit they didn't know an answer, even when staying silent was an option, and they were rewarded for accuracy.

Back-to-school desk upgrade? Start with one of these monitor arms
Whether you're studying, coding, or gaming after class, these are the monitor arms I'd happily recommend.
The Best Monitor Arms for Back-to-School That I'd Actually Recommend - HUANUO FlowLift Dual Monitor Stand

Dorm rooms and study desks have one thing in common: they run out of space fast. Between textbooks, notebooks, keyboards, coffee mugs, and laptop chargers, a monitor's stock stand often ends up taking more room than it should. A good monitor arm instantly frees up valuable desk space while also putting the screen at a much more comfortable height, making long study sessions easier on the neck and shoulders. Whether it's a simple single-monitor setup or a dual-screen workstation, these are the monitor arms I'd actually recommend for Back-to-School.
