Digital Trends Best Black Friday Gaming Monitor Deals

If you're building a gaming PC with a cutting-edge CPU and GPU, you should pair it with a gaming monitor that will give justice to the awesome processing power. If a new gaming monitor is on your Cyber Monday deals shopping list, you don't have to go anywhere else because we've gathered all the best deals we could find from brands like Samsung, Lenovo, Razer and more.
Best 165Hz gaming monitor Cyber Monday deals

A monitor's refresh rate determines how often the images on the screen are updated -- the higher the refresh rate, the smoother your gameplay will be. A 165Hz refresh rate is just above our computer monitor buying guide's recommended range of 120Hz to 144Hz, and it's great for gamers on a budget as you'll still be getting proper support for your video games' higher frame rates. Size and resolution are other factors to consider though, so you should be going for the monitor that your budget allows.

Now that the Cyber Monday sales event is ongoing, it is the perfect time to reconsider the Xbox Series S. The Xbox Series S is the weaker system in the modern Xbox lineup. That's not necessarily a bad thing — no need to buy a flamethrower when you only need a lighter — but the damage is perhaps already done in gamer's minds. In fact, we wholeheartedly expect Cyber Monday Series X deals to get the most attention. However, as is often the case, some of the absolute best Cyber Monday deals are on products that are, in ordinary times, skipped over. See what you think about these Cyber Monday sales event deals and if they meet up with your expectations.

Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of deals available for the Xbox Series S right now. Even so, there is a deal where you can get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free, so that's worth picking up if you plan to buy the Xbox Series S. There are some more Cyber Monday PS5 deals out there if you're willing to switch consoles (or want both in your arsenal).
