[SOLVED] How much does Black Friday discount on monitors?

[apuity]

Im looking for a 1440p 144+ Gsync, preferably IPS on 27"+ size. Im relatively agnostic to other features. This is in the $500-$800 range usually in the US.

How much discount indicates a good deal typical of Black Friday / Cyber Monday or around the month of November/December?

10% off? 30% off? Just wondering when I should pull the trigger if I see a deal.

Pick out a few models and look at how their prices have been for the year. Also look at last years sales and see how similar models at that time sold (should be able to see how much off they were)

"Black Friday" is a marketing term for the period of 1 Nov - 15 Jan (unofficially)

If you wait for that specific day, you WILL miss out on other sales and discounts.
And I've gotten the exact same part cheaper in July vs "Black Friday".

I can find last year's Black friday prices. But how do i find a monitor's normal price trend over the past few months or year?

Yes I am aware the discount season lasts 1-2 months. Thats why i wanna know if I see a deal on Nov 10, should I pull the trigger or wait until Dec 10.

No guarantee it will be less expensive later.

When something is available and a price you want to pay....buy it.

You should actually be able to select up to 2 years from the drop-down box to the upper-right of the chart at PCPartPicker, assuming the option is there for you.
