Get a cheap monitor deal today with more than $100 off this curved MSI beauty

A cheap gaming monitor is one of the best methods to elevate your setup, for play and for work. Plus, if you're working from home more often these days, then a new or additional monitor for everyday use is still a sound, wise investment.

And if you're in the market for another screen? Well, we'd recommend a gaming-focused one. Such is their quality now, they are probably the most versatile and multi-purpose monitors you can get, suiting any work or play you might do. And monitor sales present a great opportunity to pick them up cheap. So, if you're working from home more often or need another panel for a multi-device or multi-screen setup, then you're in the right place. Spanning the sublime to the excellently ridiculous, there are three models with quality discounts across the big Pi Day Microsoft sale - though other gear is discounted too.

In a nutshell, the three are as follows: the headline act is the MSI Optix MPG27CQ, which is a great curved gaming monitor now down to a lowest-ever-price of just $328.59; the enormous Samsung CHG90 ultrawide, which has a solid 100-dollar discount and is going for $899; and the excellent value option, the Acer XFA240H, which is a snip at $149 and great value for a gaming-specced 24-incher (we've listed the full specs out in the blocks below).

Given the general price trends of gaming gear right now - a decline, broadly speaking - and their high quality, gaming monitors are great for everyday use, creative use and work use, as well as for playing games. This is because the best gaming monitors have to produce excellent, sharp picture quality, great contrasts, and exquisite colours from the deepest blacks to the brightest whites. As a result, they are excellent monitors for any use - especially when you don't have to spend a fortune to get a reliable screen, or one from a reputable manufacturer.
