Digital Foundry's best deals from Day 2 of Prime Day: TVs, monitors, PC peripherals and storage
In the UK and the US, from Amazon and its competitors.
Update: Prime Day 2021 is over for now, but do follow @dealsfoundry and @dealsfoundryusa on Twitter for the latest tech deals as we discover them!
Phew, there sure have been a lot of deals this Prime Day, huh? Here are the very best Prime Day 2021 deals that are still available, including essential upgrades for PC gaming, the best discounted 4K TVs for the PS5 and Xbox Series X, brilliant headphones and a few more carefully chosen tech deals.
Note that we've included deals from the US and the UK - sadly the American and British arms of Amazon have thus far refused to offer the same deals to residents of both nations. Maybe one day! Until then, please take care to select deals for the country in which you live.
Note that Prime Day sales are for Prime users only, but you can sign up for a free trial at the checkout if desired. In the UK, you can also get a further £7 for free when you do an Amazon Top Up of £50 to save even more. Sweet.
Before we get into the highlights, hand-picked by Digital Foundry, please consider following @dealsfoundry and @dealsfoundryusa on Twitter, as that's where all of these deals appeared first!
