Amazon Prime Day Portable Monitor deals: what to expect

Our research has uncovered some interesting trends about the portable monitor market in the run-up to Prime Day.
There are certainly deals available. Most discounts are relatively modest, with price drops ranging between $10 and $30, and many products make their discounts available via coupons rather than directly on Amazon. Still, that’s easy enough – tick the box and the price drop should appear at the checkout.
We have also spotted rare, huge discounts on high-quality portable displays, like the $94 price reduction on the Arzopa screen highlighted below.
Often, though, discounts have not been available in the days preceding Prime Day. That’s naturally disappointing, but the sheer level of competition in the portable monitor market means that prices will be competitive regardless. So while you may not see discounts on some products, you’ll still get a great price.
If you want to make sure you’re getting the best prices, we recommend installing a browser extension like Keepa or using a website like CamelCamelCamel to check if your chosen product really is at a historically low price. If not, it’s worth looking elsewhere.
As always, watch our for fake reviews, shop around to make sure you’re getting the best price, and see if products have free extras or store credit to entice you to make the purchase.
And when buying displays, consider their features: does a screen have the connections to attach to your laptop, phone or console properly? Does it have the size and resolution required? Does it come with a case and stand, and does it have speakers? It’s also worth considering its dimensions and weight – you don’t want to be weighed down.
And if you want loads of space for work or a higher refresh rate for gaming, you’ll need to seek out specialist products and potentially accept higher prices. That goes for smaller panels too, because miniaturization always costs, and you don’t want to buy a 15.6” display that will look awkward next to your 13.3” or 14” notebook.

When does Prime Big Deals Day end?
The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days ends at midnight on October 11th - which means there are only a few hours left to find the best Prime Day portable monitor deals still available on the site.
Will I need an Amazon Prime subscription to get Prime Day portable monitor deals
You’ll always need a Prime subscription to take advantage of these deals. But don’t roll your eyes! If you don’t have one, Amazon offers thirty-day free trials of the service for anyone who hasn’t been a customer in the past twelve months. Sign up for one of those, get those all-important deals, and cancel the trial when you’re done.
How do I become an Amazon Prime member?
You need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to get access to Prime Day deals, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 for a year. It used to be $12.99 per month or $119 per year but there was a price hike last year.
However, new subscribers can take advantage of the 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to buy the deals. You can only use this if you've never been a member before, so it won't be available if you've used it already or if you've signed up for Amazon Prime in the past.
While on the free trial, you get all the other membership benefits including free shipping, access to Prime Video and much more. Do read our Amazon Prime review for full coverage of what you get as part of a membership. That can help you decide if you want to cancel Amazon Prime once your free trial has ended to avoid being charged the monthly fee.
Which portable monitors will be discounted on Prime Day?
Portable displays are relatively new products and the market is dominated by lots of smaller brands alongside a few big names. In short, it’s a volatile space where prices change constantly and competition is fierce – which means good discounts should be available on products from big and small brands. The only products that won’t be discounted will be brand new.
When is Prime Day 2024?
Based on our experience, expect the next Amazon shopping event to fall in mid-July. While Amazon hasn't officially confirmed the date (it likes to keep us guessing!), we typically see it all kick off between June and July. In 2023, it ran between July 11th - 12th. Expect similar timings for Prime Day 2024.
