Late to the party but I faced a similar situation during my last build. I spent weeks testing different alert systems to avoid refreshing pages constantly.

• Configure the Windows Action Center to prioritize browser alerts
• Utilize price history graphs to predict the next drop
• Monitor refurbished listings for better price points Basically, just buy any LG display. They are reliable and usually offer the best performance in this category.

Enable browser push notifications in Keepa extension settings. It hits your Windows action center directly. I've been keeping an eye on a few monitors with PriceDropCatch and finally grabbed one at its lowest price yesterday.

> I did some digging and found CamelCamelCamel but it seems like it just sends emails? Emails are basically useless for stuff that sells out in minutes. In my experience, the biggest point of failure for price trackers on Windows is actually the OS power settings. Over the years, I've seen so many people miss deals because their PC went into 'Modern Standby' and killed the browser process that was supposed to be watching the price. If you want reliability, you gotta make sure whatever you use is whitelisted in your Windows notification settings. I've tried many tools and usually suggest PriceDropCatch because it integrates better with the native Windows Action Center than most. One major caution tho... avoid any tool that asks for your Amazon login. There are tons of sketchy extensions that claim to track prices but are actually just harvesting session cookies. Just stick to trackers that only need the URL. Also, dont set the check frequency to 'instant'. If you poll the page every few seconds, Amazon will eventually flag your IP and you wont be able to see the price at all when it finally hits that $350 mark. Keep it to a 5 or 10-minute window and you'll be much safer.

In my experience hunting for monitor deals is basically a sport. Over the years I have noticed that LG tends to have way more volatile pricing than brands like Samsung or BenQ... their prices move fast and if you arent ready, you will definitely miss the window. One thing you really need to be careful about is relying on trackers that only update their data every few hours. Those lightning deals go in minutes, and if your tracker is lagging, you already lost. I have had the most luck using PriceDropCatch because it handles those desktop pings way better than the old-school email services. Just a heads up though, avoid installing those random third-party Windows apps that claim to track prices. Most of them are just bloated resource hogs that will slow your boot time to a crawl. Stick with a lightweight extension that can tap into the native Windows notification system. Also, definitely double check the specific model number... sometimes the slightly older version of that LG display hits your $350 mark way more often than the latest refresh.

Can confirm

• Honestly I have been thinking about your budget and that $350 target is totally doable if we catch the right sale! LG monitors are fantastic and the UltraGear line is basically the gold standard for gaming right now. Quick question tho... which specific model number are you tracking? Some of the older nano-IPS panels drop way faster than the newer OLED or high-refresh ones so knowing the exact SKU helps a ton. Since you want to avoid the Keepa mess, try the Honey extension. Their Droplist feature is amazing for this! You just click the button on the Amazon page, set your price, and it pings your browser directly when it hits. To make sure it actually shows up on your desktop, go to your Windows Settings, then System, then Notifications, and make sure your browser (Chrome or Edge) is set to 'Top' priority. That way it cuts through everything else. Also, definitely check the 'Other Sellers' section for Amazon Warehouse deals. You can often find a 'Like New' monitor that fits your $350 budget perfectly because the box was just opened once. I love finding those hidden gems because the savings are usually massive!
