Cyber ​​Monday was the last official day of the sales weekend, and we’ve highlighted a few select products that not only earned our Editors’ Choice badge, but also received significant discounts. While many items are no longer on sale, these nine are great and still discounted, so grab them while you can.

Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor

One of the best deals we spotted on Cyber ​​Monday was a $700 discount on this Samsung curved monitor, which hardware analyst Zackery Cuevas described in our review as “a feast for the eyes and the most unbeatable ultrawide monitor for “immersive PC games”. With a curvature of 1,800 mm, it is captivating and makes driving games, first-person shooters and other games even more immersive. The stunning OLED display uses Neo Quantum Processor Pro for frame-by-frame optimization with bright, accurate colors and deep contrast. It’s compatible with AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro to lock frame rates to your graphics card. This actually just caused a price drop that’s almost $30 less than yesterday!

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless gaming headset

Are you planning on playing a ton of games over the holidays? The Arctis Nova Pro is our Editors’ Choice for wireless headsets. Senior analyst Will Greenwald said in his review that it delivers “excellent sound, effective noise cancellation, dual replaceable batteries and powerful software.” Hot-swappable batteries let you replace them without interruption, and the durable USB base offers additional ports and more. The sound quality is exceptional and the microphone won’t miss a single swear word during your heated gaming moments.

Crucial X9 Pro 1TB Portable SSD

Lead reviewer Tony Hoffman called the Crucial a simple and effective way to protect your data from one place to another, and it also has a five 1 year warranty in case something goes wrong. It’s not a huge discount, but it’s something.

Apple AirPods Pro 2

AirPods are some of the most sought-after in-ear headphones on the market, and in our AirPods Pro 2 review we called them “the best true wireless headphones for Apple users.” Audio expert Tim Gideon’s review delved into how these little marvels work and praised their balanced audio performance coupled with active noise cancellation. A recent software update even allowed them to be used as FDA-approved hearing aids. Saving $99 is an exceptional discount.

Garmin Venu Sq 2 GPS Smartwatch

A number of smartwatches are available with Cyber ​​Monday discounts, but we have to highlight this steep 40% discount on the Garmin Venu 2 said it improved on its predecessor in almost every way, including a larger screen, a range of excellent features for health monitoring, support for contactless payments and of course the robust built-in GPS you’d expect from Garmin. Our only reservation was that the list price was a bit high, so we consider the issue resolved.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

Our Editors’ Choice winner for affordable Android tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ offers great value for money and has some nice features to sweeten the price. In our review, mobile analyst Iyaz Akhtar lists the reasons to purchase such a device, including its refined design that saves weight while improving performance, as well as its bright 11-inch screen with four Dolby Atmos speakers. If you’re looking for a tablet that’s great for media streaming and casual gaming, this is the one for you, especially at $70 off.

Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni

The holidays bring with them a lot of cleaning, and if your floors are getting out of control, our editors’ choice of a vacuum and mop combo can save the day. The Ecovacs Deebot With long battery life, strong suction, a self-draining base that can hold dirt for up to 90 days, and incredible navigation, it’s the total package.

Acer Chromebook Spin 714

If you haven’t tried a Chromebook lately (heh), you’ll be surprised at how powerful these portable devices are becoming. Acer’s Chromebook Spin 714 earned an Editors’ Choice award for price and performance in our test and, thanks to the Cyber ​​Monday discount still in effect, can compete with Windows devices at twice the price. The 14-inch 16:10 touchscreen display is spacious and responsive, and the included stylus makes precise input a breeze. Silicon features, including an Intel Evo Intel Core i5-1235U processor, a generous 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, help it stand out from the crowd even further.

Apple iPad Air M2

We called the latest model of iPad Air “particularly good for students and casual artists” in our review, praising the improved M2 processor that allows it to handle the robust art, design and music software the tablet is known for . The screen is a beautiful 2,360 x 1,640 pixel Retina display with great contrast and vibrant colors, and the build quality is as durable and stylish as you’d expect from Apple. Also get an Apple Pencil Pro for maximum input fidelity. Reducing the list price by $70 is a significant discount.
