If you’ve been considering upgrading an old monitor or getting your desktop setup dialed in, a USB-C monitor can be a great alternative to a traditional one. If you’re operating off of a newer computer, you’ll find having a USB-C monitor also eliminates the need for an adapter or docking hub. Still, quality monitors have a cost. This is why we’ve carefully looked through our favorite brands to find the best and most current deals on USB-C monitors.

In terms of resolution, we would 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. We’d also suggest that you look out for a monitor’s maximum brightness rating, which should range 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, you’ll want something that’s rated for 350 nits or higher. For more on that, check out our monitor buying guide before choosing your new monitor.
Below, you’ll find a list of the best USB-C monitor deals we could find across some of the biggest brands out there. We’ll continue to update this collection of deals with the latest and greatest as well, so make sure to check back if you don’t see the deal that’s right for you today.
