Cheap Prime gaming monitors mean you can build the multiscreen '90s hacker setup of your dreams

pcgamer.com:

Stealing a march on Black Friday, Amazon Prime Early access is dealing out some supposed Early Access to its Prime members. A kind of mini Prime Day, if you will, and it's actually got some pretty great deals. It's also meant every retailer out there is sniffing the chance to get virtual people through its virtual doors over the next couple of days.

But hey, if it gets everyone access to a selection of discounts on the good PC gaming stuff that's all good. I'm an ardent multi-monitor proponent, and so every sales season is just an excuse to find space to add another screen to my own desktop in the desperate search to ape the '90s hacker movies of my youth.

But you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good cheap gaming monitor, or even a bargainous second (or third, or fourth) screen for your rig. And you definitely don't need some thousand dollar OLED. You do, however, owe it to yourself to ensure you're looking at either an IPS or VA panel for your budget screen.

I can't stress enough how disappointed I will personally be if you choose not to heed my advice and buy yourself a TN screen. No matter how high the refresh rate is. You will be disappointed in yourself, too.

But that brings me to my second point. Whether you're going to be gaming on it or not, you should grab a display with a refresh rate of at least 120Hz. All the sub-$200 screens I'm recommending here come with a refresh of at least 144Hz, and it just makes for a smoother PC experience whatever you're doing with it.
