I've never owned an AsRock product before, but I have a B660M Steel Legend arriving today for a new rig I'm building (first one in over a decade, /gasp). So I figured I'd download all the drivers I'm going to be installing, but I find their descriptions on the download/support page to be quite...

I'm in the market for a 28-32" 4K monitor and was just curious if it would be wise to wait until Black Friday season to see if any of the monitors I'm eyeballing will get a discount. Are there particular brands that tend to run BF/CM sales? I'm currently looking at specific models of GIgabyte...
