Black Friday officially lands on November 26th this year, but we expect the discounts will begin before then. However, the best discounts usually land on the day itself, so if you’re after a real Black Friday monitor bargain you might want to set a reminder in your calendar.
If you can’t wait that long, there will likely be plenty of early discounts in the weeks leading up to the big day – some might arrive as early as mid-late October. Those that hold out will be rewarded though, as the biggest discounts will likely drop the week of Black Friday.

If last year is anything to go by, we might also see the best deals land slightly earlier than usual. Thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic we found that deals began dropping in late October and mid-November, before plummeting at the start of Thanksgiving week. Monitor prices then stayed low into the first week of December.
With many brick-and-mortar stores closed thanks to the local pandemic restrictions, and more people than ever shopping online – plus with Covid-19 causing logistical challenges such as shipping delays – it made sense for retailers to spread the deals out.
We don’t yet know if this year’s Black Friday monitor deals will start as early as last year’s, but our money’s on retailers looking to space their best offers out once again. As always, we recommend having your eyes peeled from late October / early November just to be safe.
