OLED monitors are the cream of the crop for gamers, and at the moment you can't get any bigger than Gigabyte's 49-inch super-duper-mega-ultrawide. But for a good balance between size and utility, I think I'd prefer the 45-inch LG model, if only because its 21:9 aspect ratio and lower resolution is much easier for gaming PCs to handle. The 34-inch version is a good compromise, especially if you want to keep the same pixel density as 27-inch QHD monitors.
If you want to upgrade to OLED for as little cash as possible, LG is offering a 27-inch QHD model that's great for gamers for just $600. That's probably as low as you're going to see at the moment -- wait for the actual Prime Deal Days to hit to try for something lower.
Standard gaming monitor deals are less dramatic than OLED and conventional office monitors at the moment, but there are still some pretty good finds if you're looking for speed. The Acer Predator model is great if you want 4K resolution, high refresh, and you don't have room for a huge display, but MSI's 24-inch IPS has a fast panel at an unbeatable price. It's excellent for the student who wants to game on a laptop and needs a little more space for schoolwork.
Dell is a go-to for low-cost, high-quality monitors, and during this sale they have a variety of options. A 4K USB-C monitor is great for an office setting, especially if you're using a laptop. Acer is offering multiple smaller monitors, good for expanding a multi-mon setup, and the LG 34-inch ultrawide makes an excellent primary office display. For boosting productivity on the go, that portable monitor is a fantastic deal.
