UPDATE: These Prime Day deals are officially over, but you can still save on the incredible LG C1 OLED gaming TV, the Sony Bravia XR OLED TV, the best EVGA RTX 3080 graphics card, the awesome Klipsch Promedia 2.1 PC speakers, and the now live Dell and Alienware ‘Black Friday in July Sale.
One thing to note about gaming monitor deals on Amazon Prime Day is that traditionally, there's not much inventory. The most popular monitors tend to sell out well before Amazon Prime Day is actually over, and we think that's because there simply aren't that many available. Don't hesitate if there's a monitor you've been waiting a while for. Amazon Prime Cardmembers remember to pay with your Prime Card for an extra 5% cashback discount!
If you're an Amazon Prime member, you're eligible for the no annual fee Amazon Prime Card, which is an amazing card to get because it gives you 5% cashback on all purchases on Amazon. For a limited time, you get a bigger 10% cashback on LG OLED TVs, including this one. That means you'll be getting about $80 back on this particular TV and your final price will essentially be $716.99. You will only see the 10% cashback offer if you're logged in with an Amazon account that has the Prime Card.
The 48" LG C1 is marked as a 4K TV, and it is, but it's also one of the best gaming monitors on the market. It's hundreds of dollars cheaper than the other highest end gaming monitors like the Samsung Neo G9 49" Mini LED or the Alienware 34" QD-OLED gaming monitor, and is arguably better. It has HDMI 2.1 ports to support 4K @ 120Hz if you have a GeForce RTX 30 series video card, as well as variable refresh rate and G-SYNC. OLED panels have unrivalled response times, so ghosting is non-existent. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, OLED TVs offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, and wider color gamut. Not only does this translate to better gaming, but also better image quality overall, including with 4K HDR content. Unlike other gaming monitors, you can also use it standalone (i.e. without your PC running) if you simply want to watch shows on Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, Disney Plus, and more, since it doubles as a smart TV.
