Now is the time to start mentally preparing for upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, and we've put together a guide that explains what to expect and where to find the best bargains. Looking to get a head start on things, Monoprice is having a Black Friday 'mini sale' with discounts on 28-inch and 32-inch monitors, speakers, and a few other items.

We're not familiar with the quality of Monoprice's own brand monitors, so there's a leap of faith here. That said, Monoprice is well known for selling affordable, high quality cables, and has built a reputation for itself in A/V circles.

Monoprice's discounted monitors offer some robust features for the money, including HDR and FreeSync support, and are offered in 4K and 1440p resolutions (depending on the model). The brightness levels are low for proper HDR, but even without it, these are good prices compared to what's on the market.

Monoprice 28-inch 4K Monitor | HDR, FreeSync | $219.99
This 28-inch monitor has a 4K resolution at 60Hz. It also supports AMD's FreeSync technology and HDR, albeit the brightness is only rated at 300 nits. Still, this is pretty affordable for a 28-inch 4K display. $219.99, Monoprice

Monoprice 32-inch 4K Monitor | HDR, FreeSync | $374.99
If you're looking for something bigger, this 32-inch model offers the same 4K resolution, HDR, and FreeSync support as the above model, but with a lower 250 nits brightness rating. However, it trades a TN pane for an IPS screen. $374, Monoprice

Monoprice 32-inch QHD Monitor | HDR, FreeSync | $249.99
This 32-inch monitor uses a VA panel with a 2560x1440 resolution. Like the others, it supports HDR (300 nits brightness) and FreeSync.
