Here's a capable secondary display for under $100 Not all monitors need to be the largest, the fastest, or have the latest and greatest tech under the hood. For when you already have the big, swanky panel as your main display, it’s always worth picking up a secondary display for productivity or other tasks. The Pixio PX248 Prime fills that slot almost perfectly and has been discounted to just $79.99 on Amazon. It’s a neat little 1080p IPS display with a 180Hz refresh rate. At under $100, it’s a value-oriented pick that will suit almost any setup.

If you have a more modest 1080p gaming setup, it suits that well, too. At under $100, it’s a dead ringer to add as a secondary display. — Sayem Ahmed
