If you need a second monitor to take your productivity to the next level, you might want to pick up a USB-C monitor. Having an extra screen can create a smooth and efficient workflow you usually can't get on one screen, and using a portable monitor or other displays can clutter up your space with messy cables or hubs. However, a USB-C monitor can connect your display to your laptop or PC with a single cable and give your workstation or gaming setup a much-needed upgrade.Â
We've searched the web to bring you the best USB-C monitor deals available. This includes savings on top brands like Samsung, Dell and more. We'll continue to update this page as offers come and go, so check back often.

Best USB-C monitor deals
With a $700 list price, this 32-inch Samsung monitor is one of the most expensive models you'll find on this list, but it also has a lot to offer. The display has a 32-inch 4K screen with HDR10+ support and AI upscaling, though the 60Hz refresh rate leaves a little to be desired. The main appeal is that this is a smart monitor, so it connects to the internet and supports basic entertainment and productivity apps without needing to be hooked up to another device. Plus, it comes with its own remote with built-in solar charging.
This USB-C monitor has a 27-inch display with 4K resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It also has dual 5W speakers, is height-adjustable and offers low blue light to decrease eye strain.
This monitor has a 27-inch curved screen with a 100Hz refresh rate. It also is anti-glare and low blue light, and has a brightness of 300 nits. Be sure to clip the on-page coupon to score the savings.
What should you look for in a USB-C monitor?
In terms of resolution, we recommend at least full HD (1,920 by 1,080 pixels) for a 24-inch display, quad HD (2,560 by 1,440 pixels) for a 27-inch display and Ultra HD (aka 4K; 3,840 by 2,160 pixels) for anything 32 inches or larger.Â
We'd also suggest that you look for a monitor's maximum brightness rating, which typically ranges from 250 to 500 nits. Lower-end monitors are usually rated at 250 or 300 nits, which will likely suffice for a dark den or basement. For a sun-drenched office, though, you'll want something that's 350 nits or higher.
