FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Prime Day is one of the most popular sales events of the year. In 2024, Amazon’s Prime Day 2024 will officially run from July 16 at 12:01 a.m. PDT through July 17. The annual two-day sale will provide discounts on technology, electronics, home products, clothing, and more.
Are monitors really cheaper on Prime Day?
In our experience, monitors often get excellent discounts during the two-day Prime Day sales event. Vendors including Samsung, LG, and Sony are only a handful among many that cut the price of their monitor ranges by up to 30% or 40%, making Prime Day a great opportunity to upgrade your existing hardware.
How do I know what monitor is right for me?
As a valuable tool for work, productivity, and entertainment, picking the right monitor as part of your home setup is imperative. If you have a smaller space, consider going for a display size within the 20- to 30-inch range, while larger spaces could more readily accommodate sizes between 30 and 50 inches. We recommend flat screens (and preferably with eye comfort technologies) for work, but gamers are better served by curved screens and a higher refresh rate, as they provide a more immersive experience. If you plan to use your monitor to watch movies, however, consider products with 4K resolution.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
ZDNET authors and reviewers will only include deals that catch our eye: products we have hands-on experience with, want, or would recommend to our readers.
We use our own experience, knowledge, and research to judge the worthiness of a deal that appears during Prime Day, alongside price tracker tools and services, to compare historical pricing data and determine whether or not we consider a deal to be of real value. Furthermore, we consider the price point itself: even if we’ve seen a product with a lower price point in the past if the new price is still valuable, we will consider the product’s inclusion.
We like to see discounts of at least 20%, but in some cases — such as Apple deals, which often have less of a discount available — we may still include a deal if it demonstrates value for money.
