Black Friday curved monitor deals: FAQ
When do Black Friday curved monitor deals begin?
Black Friday curved monitor deals will kick off on November 25 this year, but we actually see official offers landing as early as Thanksgiving week. That's not to say there won't be any savings until then. In fact, we see retailers launching their holiday sales earlier and earlier every year. That means you'll still see some excellent offers starting as soon as this month.
Should you buy a curved monitor before Black Friday?
With so many sales landing between now and Black Friday itself, it can be tempting to jump in ahead of time. That temptation might not be so bad, either. We can see from Adobe's Holiday Shopping report, the the average prices on electronics fell sharply at the start of November, and only dipped an additional 2% over the Black Friday period. Factoring in increased competition, faster moving stock, and the risk that the deal you've spotted simply doesn't return on the big day, we'd recommend taking any early Black Friday curved monitor deals that look good from the start of November onwards.
Where will the best Black Friday curved monitor deals be?
We will be covering all of the very best Black Friday curved monitor deals on this very page, so ensure you come back on the big day. However, we do know that specific retailers on both sides of the pond will have the best of the lot. The below stores are the ones you should frequent to get the best and biggest price cuts.
US
Amazon: expect some far-reaching deals on a bunch of far-reaching screens Best Buy: always strong in the curved monitor game
Walmart: all the big names will be on offer at the mega retailer
Newegg: the PC gear specialist is always one to rely on for good options
UK
Amazon: will have you covered with options from most brands and sizes
Very: an underrated retailer for monitors but a well-stocked one
Overclockers: the PC specialists should be high on your list
ebuyer: another specialist that will likely have a raft of options and deals
Currys: a perennially strong monitor stocker and should have good deals
What to expect from Black Friday curved monitor deals
It's always tough trying to pinpoint precise specifics that will occur during Black Friday curved monitor deals. Monitor prices generally are in flux too - they are just a section of gaming tech where prices rarely stay the same for a long period of time. However, we can find the best value by taking a look at some of our favorite curved monitors and tracking their prices across last year's sales and in the months since then. There are a handful of screens we'd recommend keeping an eye out for in this year's Black Friday curved monitor deals; the Samsung Odyssey G5 (an affordable QHD screen), the Samsung Odyssey G7 (our top pick overall), the AOC CU34G2X (excellent value for money), the Alienware AW3423DW (our favorite premium screen), and the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (for those who need plenty of space).
Kicking off with Samsung Black Friday deals, the most popular pick is likely going to be the G5 this year. The $379.99 display dropped down to $299 in last year's Black Friday curved monitor deals - a position that's just been beaten by Amazon's October sale. We've seen a record low $279.99 cost on the 32-inch model in recent discounts, but that's a fairly new development. That means we'd expect such a price to return for November. The G7 is a marked step up, starting life at $699.9 for a 27-incher. We first saw the current record low $499.99 sales price on this model back in November last year, and so far throughout 2022 that cost has only popped up once again in June. That means we're likely looking at this range for November's offers.
The Neo G9 is a serious leap in pricing. The 49-inch ultrawide curved monitor sits at $2,299.99 when caught at MSRP, and only dropped to $1,689 in last year's sales. Since then we have seen costs drip down to $1,599.99 over the summer - a position we haven't seen since August. That means this is likely where the chips will fall in November - if we're lucky we could see an additional $50 - $100 off.
Samsung's Odyssey monitors have been around for a little while, but Alienware's AW3423DW is brand new to this year's Black Friday curved monitor deals. The 34-inch panel was launched back in May at a $1,299.99 MSRP, a cost that's only dipped by around $15 in all these months. This is an excellent display, though, so we're holding out for some more substantial savings at Dell this year - potentially down to $999 if previous releases track correctly.
Jumping back down the price scale, we have the AOC CU34G2X. There's some excellent value in this model, packing a larger 34-inch screen than the similarly priced 32-inch Odyssey G5 and offering a slimline bezel design and the same QHD 1144Hz spec sheet. This screen usually comes in at $399.99, but it's generally been on sale for around $379.99 over the last few weeks. We expect that price to give way a little further in November - the record low is $367 and we're predicting a conservative $349.99 estimate (but hoping for something a little more drastic, say $299.99 on a good day).
Watchlist:
- Samsung Odyssey G5: Predicted price - $279.99 (was $379.99)
- Samsung Odyssey G7: Predicted price - $499.99 (was $699.99)
- Samsung Odyssey Neo G9: Predicted price - $1,599.99 (was $2,299.99)
- Alienware AW3423DW: Predicted price - $999 (was $1,299.99)
- AOC CU34G2X: Predicted price - $349.99 (was $399.99)
If you're a little more discerning with your screen specs, we're also rounding up everything we expect to see from Black Friday 4K monitor deals, Black Friday 144Hz monitor deals, and Black Friday 1440p monitor deals as well.
