Shopping for a gaming monitor used to be a simple affair. At one point every monitor was just rectangular-shaped and ran at 60Hz, so it was just a question of how big of a monitor could you afford and whether you wanted a 1440p display to be extra fancy. Those days are long gone now though.Today there are almost too many options when looking for a gaming monitor. Now you’ve got displays that offer high refresh rate, Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync, 4K resolution, and high-dynamic-range (HDR) as basic features. It’s a lot to figure out, and that’s without mentioning curved gaming monitors or ultrawide displays, but Im here to help.IGN has reviewed a smorgasbord of gaming monitors, and with that data, Ive created this list containing only the top-scoring monitors from each category for your easy consumption. Whether youre looking for a 4K HDR screen to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in all its glory or a 240Hz display to help you win in Apex Legends, youll find the right gaming monitor for you here. For those of you in the UK, click here to see where you can find each and every one the monitors mentioned below.
TL;DR These are the Best Gaming Monitors:
1. MSI Optix MPG341CQR
Best Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 34″ Aspect ratio: 21:9 Resolution: 3,440 x 1,440 Panel type: VA FreeSync 2 HDR Compatibility: HDR10 Brightness: 400cd/m2 Refresh rate: 144Hz Response time: 4ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 3,000:1 Color support: 8-bit Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2, 1 x USB Type-C Weight: 21.38 pounds Size: 31.9″ x 22.2″ x 12.8″
While consoles have caught up with 4K HDR gaming one thing PC gaming simply does better is support for ultrawide gaming monitors. We think a 21:9 aspect ratioor wideris the best type of screen for PC gaming and the MSI Optix MPG341CQR (read our review) is the clear winner here. This 34-inch display offers up an enrapturing 3,440 x 1,440 resolution that wraps around you. Better yet you also get a 144Hz experience and the response time of this panel is 4ms, making it a tiny bit faster than your average IPS display.It also supports HDR, albeit with only a 400-nit peak brightness and 8-bit color, so it’s not the absolute best high-dynamic range experience you’ll find out there. But for $800 this ultrawide gaming monitor offers a lot with one of the best-looking displays around plus plenty of ports to connect a variety of devices including a USB Type-C for your gaming laptop and gaming phones.
2. AOC 27G2
Best Budget Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080 Panel type: IPS FreeSync Brightness: 250cd/m2 Refresh rate: 144Hz Response time: 1ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 Color support: 16.7M, 8-bit (6-bit + FRC), 118% sRGB, 88% Adobe RGB Inputs: 2 x HDMI 1.4, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2, 1 x D-Sub 3.0 Weight: 11.98 pounds Size: 24.11″ x 15.57″ x 8.95″
The AOC 27G2 is one of the cheapest gaming monitors that can really qualify itself as a gaming monitor. For just about $200, it can deliver a 1080p picuture and run at 144Hz, giving you both sharp game visuals as well as smooth gameplay. Other gaming monitors at this price might just look like they’re made for gaming but stick with a basic 60Hz refresh rate, giving you no edge in competitive gameplay.The AOC 27G2 remains fairly simple in some ways, with an average contrast ratio of 1,000:1 and a brightness level of 250 nits, but it still goes above expectations at this price point by delivering an IPS panel with support for FreeSync. That panel will make viewing content from off angles that much easier, so it can serve as a small TV if needed, and FreeSync support will help prevent tearing in your game visuals. (Note: the prices of many electronics are fluctuating frequently right now, so you may need to watch closely to find the AOC 27G2 at it’s $200 price point.)
3. Acer Predator XB273K
Best 4K Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 3,840 x 2,160 Panel type: IPS G-Sync Brightness: 400cd/m2 Refresh rate: 144Hz Response time: 4ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 Color support: 90% DCI-P3, 87% ARGB, 100% sRGB Inputs: 1 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 x Weight: 15.85 pounds Size: 24.76″ x 21.3 x 12.09″
The Acer Predator XB273K (read our review) is essentially the semi-HDR version of its older sibling, the Acer Predator X27. While it doesnt hit a 1,000-nit peak brightness or feature Quantum Dot technology, it also doesnt cost $2,000. Nope, instead, the Acer Predator XB273K is a refined 27-inch, 4K gaming monitor designed to give you the sharpest 144Hz gaming experience for a little more than a grand.This monitor still meets the HDR400 specification (up to a 400-nit peak brightness), so it’s still a bit brighter than your typical gaming monitor. Colors are also on-point. The Acer Predator XB273K can tap into 100% of the sRGB and 90% of the DCI-P3 color spectrum. Just know that to get the best colors out of this display, youll have to select 98Hz as your maximum refresh rate due to the bandwidth limitations of the DisplayPort 1.4 standard.
4. LG 27GL850 UltraGear
Best 1440p Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 2,560 x 1,440 Panel type: Nano IPS FreeSync, G-Sync Compatible Brightness: 350cd/m2 Refresh rate: 144Hz Response time: 1ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 800:1 Color support: 1.07B Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 Weight: 13.45 pounds Size: 24.2″ x 22.6″ x 10.8″
The LG 27GL850 UltraGear is one of the best all-around gaming monitors available right now. It’s gorgeous Nano IPS panel resolves a 2,560 x 1,440 picture that’s perfectly sharp for its 27-inch screen size. What’s more, the image is bright at 350-nits and richly colored thanks to its support for 10-bit color, which when put together makes this screen HDR10 ready.Better yet the LG 27GL850 UltraGear delivers a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, so it overcomes the usual pitfalls of an IPS display. Lastly, this gaming monitor supports both FreeSync and G-Sync, so you’ll get a smooth tear-free experience with any gaming PC or gaming laptop.
5. Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor
Best 1080p Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080 Panel type: Fast IPS FreeSync, G-Sync Compatible Brightness: 350cd/m2 Refresh rate: 240Hz Response time: 1ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 Color support: 16.7M Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 Weight: 28.24 pounds Size: 24.12″ x 22 x 17.5″
It might seem strange that people are still buying 1080p gaming monitors when 4K gaming is all the rage, but this old-school resolution still has something to offer. The best Full HD gaming monitors these days offer are still useful for attaining ridiculously high frame rates and they’re just starting to support HDR picture modes.The Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor is a perfect example of what you can get from a modern day 1080p gaming monitor. It features a “Fast IPS” panel that achieves a quick 1ms response time while delivering the wide viewing angles and rich color accuracy you’d expect from this type of display technology. To sweeten this deal even more, the Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor supports both FreeSync and G-Sync.
6. Viotek GFI27QXA
Best Budget 4K Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 3,840 x 2,160 Panel type: IPS FreeSync Brightness: 350cd/m2 Refresh Rate: 144Hz Response time: 5ms (GTG) / 1ms (OD) Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 Color support: 8-bit, 16.7M colors, 110% sRGB Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 2 x DisplayPort 1.4 Weight: 13.45 pounds Size: 24.37″ x 20.25″ x 9.07″
Getting 4K isn’t going to be cheap, especially if you want the high-speed refresh rates that make a monitor truly game-worthy. But, the Viotek GFI27QXA at least makes getting a 4K gaming monitor a good deal more affordable. This display offers up a 4K IPS panel for accurate colors and wide viewing angles, letting you make the most of the 8 million odd pixels. And, you’ll be running that panel at up to 144Hz for super-smooth gaming.There are some trade-offs to stay in the budget price point, though. You won’t get any high-end HDR implementation, the monitor stand is fairly basic, and the display requires two simultaneous inputs to reach 4K at 144Hz, however it might not perform to your liking. But, you can use one cable to hit 4K at 120Hz and take advantage of the display’s FreeSync, and the monitor has a VESA mount so you can always switch to a more elaborate stand as needed.
7. Gigabyte Aorus CV27Q
Best Curved Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ 1500R Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 2,560 x 1,440 Panel type: VA FreeSync 2 HDR compatibility: DisplayHDR 400 Brightness: 400cd/m2 Refresh rate: 165Hz Response time: 4ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 3,000:1 Color support: 16.7M, 8-bit, 122% sRGB, 82% Adobe RGB, 90% DCI-P3 Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4, 1 x 3.5mm Audio In Weight: 15.43 pounds Size: 24.17″ x 15.82″ x 10.23″
The Gigabyte Aorus CV27Q offers a little bit of everything, including a slight curve to keep every bit of the screen facing you. This upgrade from the Aorus CV27F (read our review) has a reasonable price, especially when considering it’s a 1440p display with a fast 165Hz refresh rate. That’s good for delivering super smooth gaming at a crisp level.It’s not just that resolution and resfresh rate that will help you keep track of your enemies but also the 400-nit brightness, which has earned this monitor DisplayHDR 400 certification. The Aorus CV27Q also supports FreeSync 2, keeping your visuals looking great regardless of whether you’re hitting high or low frame rates.
8. Samsung CRG90 Curved Gaming Monitor
Best Super Ultrawide Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 49″ 1,800R Aspect ratio: 32:9 Resolution: 5,120 x 1,440 Panel type: VA FreeSync 2 Brightness: 600cd/m2 Refresh rate: 120Hz Response time: 4ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 3,000:1 Color support: 10-bit 1.07-billion Inputs: 1 x HDMI 2.0, 2 x DisplayPort 1.4 Weight: 32.2 pounds Size: 47.2″ x 20.6″ x 13.7″
Samsung was the first to market with a super ultrawide curved gaming monitor and while there’ve been plenty of copycats, it still leads the market. The Samsung CRG90 is a step up over all the other 49-inch ultrawide monitor thanks to its 5,120 x 1,440 resolution, which essentially gives you two QHD ultrawide monitors packed into a single display. What’s more, this 32:9 screen offers up a 120Hz refresh rate and 600-nit peak brightness, making it uniquely qualified for HDR gaming thanks to its use of Quantum Dot technology.It caters to productivity as much as gaming as the screen can act as two completely separate Full HD displays for two different systems. Alternatively, you could have the majority of the screen act as a 21:9 display for games and movies, while reserving the rest of the monitor for work or email.
9. Asus ROG Swift PG43UQ
Best HDR Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 43″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 3,840 x 2,160 Panel type: VA G-Sync Compatible HDR: DisplayHDR 1000 Brightness: 1,000cd/m2 Refresh rate: 144Hz Response time: 1ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 4,000:1 Color support: 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 2 x DisplayPort 1.4 Weight: 33.73 pounds Size: 38.37″ x 24.85″ x 9.54″
There was a brief period where TVs were getting all the exciting HDR features while gaming monitors were left in their wake. But, that’s not so anymore, and the Asus ROG Swift PG43UQ is a testament to that. This monitor delivers a 4K picture at a dazzling, 1,000-nit peak brightness. That combined with the VA panel’s high contrast ratio will let you get an HDR experience that can rival many TVs.Of course, gaming is important here as well. Fortunately, this monitor supports a 144Hz refresh rate, and can use VESA’s Display Stream Compression to enable 4K HDR at 144Hz over a single DisplayPort 1.4 connection. And, with that DisplayPort connection, you can also enjoy support for variable refresh rates, screen tearing won’t mar your viewing experience.
10. ViewSonic Elite XG270QG
Best G-Sync Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 2,560 x 1,440 Panel type: IPS G-Sync Brightness: 350cd/m2 Refresh rate: 165Hz Response time: 1ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 Color support: 1.07B, 10-bit (8-bit + FRC), 100% sRGB, 90% Adobe RGB, 98% DCI-P3 Inputs: 1 x HDMI 1.4, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 Weight: 17 pounds Size: 24.2″ x 18.06″ x 10.4″
If you know you’re after a monitor with true G-Sync capability, then you’ll love the ViewSonic Elite XG270QG. This monitor hits the sweet spot with a 1440p resolution on a 27-inch display. This gives you clear visuals without putting the crazy stress on your graphics card that 4K visuals can. You’ll want that headroom from your graphics card to help it take advantage of this monitor’s 165Hz refresh rate.The capabilities of this monitor extend beyond gaming as well. That’s thanks to its colorful display, which supports up to 1.07 billion colors and covers enough of the sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3 color spaces to offer an excellent visual experience in whatever you do.
11. Gigabyte Aorus FI27Q Tactical Gaming Display
Best FreeSync Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 2,560 x 1,440 Panel type: IPS FreeSync Premium, G-Sync Compatible Brightness: 350cd/m2 Refresh rate: 144Hz Response time: 1ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 Color support: 1.07b, 10-bit (8-bit+FRC) Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 Weight: 17.64 pounds Size: 24.2″ x 14.6″ x 9.33″
The Aorus AD27QD (read our review) was one of our favorite gaming monitors of last year and now Aorus has made it even better with the Aorus FI27Q Tactical Gaming Display. The biggest changes you’ll notice on this QHD gaming monitor is it now refreshes at an even faster 165Hz for high-speed action.Aside from that 27-inch, 2,560 x 1,440 display offers up a lot with HDR 400 support, 10-bit colors, and a 1ms response timewhich is impressive from an IPS monitor. The Gigabyte Aorus FI27Q Tactical Gaming Display is also G-Sync Compatible on top of its native support for FreeSync Premium. You even get some bonus features focused on gaming such as a microphone to add active noise canceling for your microphone setup, plus a few on-screen tricks like a frame rate counter and crosshair overlay.
12. Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ
Best G-Sync Compatible Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 2,560 x 1,440 Panel type: IPS FreeSync, G-Sync Compatible HDR Compatibility: HDR10 Brightness: 350cd/m2 Refresh Rate: 155Hz Response time: 4ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 Color support: 8-bit Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 Weight: 12.79 pounds Size: 24.4″ x 14.8″ x 8.31″
The days of having to choose between G-Sync or FreeSync are coming to a close thanks to G-Sync compatible gaming monitors and the best of them is the Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ. Whether you’re plugging in an Nvidia- or AMD-powered gaming PC or even an Xbox One console, you’ll be able to enjoy the silky smooth gameplay you can only get through variable frame rate display such as this.Of course, it also helps the Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ delivers an amazing QHD gaming experience all on its own. You get perfectly accurate colors from this gaming monitor thanks to its IPS panel, which is a cut above most with a 155Hz refresh rate 4ms response time. This display also offers HDR10 support, but don’t expect the effect to be that strong given peak brightness is rated at 350-nits and color support is only 8-bit.
13. Acer Nitro VG272
Best Esports Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 27″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080 Panel type: IPS FreeSync, G-Sync Compatible Brightness: 400cd/m2 Refresh rate: 240Hz Response time: 1ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 1,000:1 HDR Support: DisplayHDR 400 Color support: 16.7M, 8-bit Inputs: 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.2 Weight: 10.1 pounds Size: 24.17″ x 16.34″ x 9.29″
If you’re playing esports, you need to be able to react to the action as soon as it happens. That means having a gaming monitor that’s just as responsive as you are. The Acer Nitro VG272 is just such a monitor, with a Full HD display that can run at 240Hz. Though this monitor uses an IPS panel, it musters a 1ms reponse time, which you can to just 0.1ms in Overdrive. All that speed means you’ll see action on your screen as soon as it happens.What’s additionally impressive is that Acer didn’t sacrifice other aspects to attain those speeds. You’ll also be getting a decent max brightness to support some low-level HDR, and you get FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility to help keep screen tearing at bay.
14. HP Omen X Emperium 65
Best Large Gaming Monitor
Screen size: 64.5″ Aspect ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 3,840 x 2,160 Panel type: IPS G-Sync HDR Brightness: 1,000cd/m2 Refresh rate: 144Hz Response time: 4ms Viewing angle: 178(H)/178(V) Contrast ratio: 4,000:1 Color support: 95% NTSC Inputs: 3 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 Weight: 71.43 pounds Size: 57″ x 36.8 x 13.4″
Although the HP Omen X Emperium 65 (read our review) is technically a gaming monitor, its actually a 65-inch gaming TV that costs $5,000. Its terribly expensive, but for your money, you get a fully loaded 4K gaming display with full support for HDR, G-Sync, up to a 144Hz frame rate, along with an integrated Nvidia Shield so it can act as a standalone SmartTV. It even comes with a massive soundbar, which can simulate the wide dynamic range of a multi-speaker sound system.This oversized, full-featured display is pretty much the end-all, be-all of gaming monitors. If you have the scratch to afford the HP Omen X Emperium 65, there isnt another gaming monitor as awesome as this.
Where to Get the Best Gaming Monitor in the UK
We’ve mentioned several brilliant gaming monitors on this list, with up to 14 different options to choose from. These range from the most affordable all the way up until the juggernaut sets for those who love to take in every single detail. Thankfully, all of the displays mentioned can be found in UK retailers, and we’ve just so happened to track them down to save you the trouble of a time consuming Google search.What’s next for gaming monitors
Gaming monitors keep getting faster, and while the upgrade to 144Hz might seem like a leap for anyone coming from a 60Hz panel, there are monitors coming out well in excess of even 240Hz. We saw 300Hz monitors come to laptops at IFA 2019 with the unveiling of the Asus ROG Zephyrus S GX701 and Acer Predator Triton 500.However hot those laptop monitors seemed at the time, they’re just a bit slower now next to the Asus ROG Swift 360Hz announced in early January. It was announced alongside a 4K 144Hz monitor from Asus, the ROG Swift PG32UQX, which uses 1152 mini-LEDs to create tiny local dimming zones and deliver a staggering brightness level of 1400 nits. Between the two, you can expect some super smooth visuals or fluid HDR later in 2020. The second monitor to meet the DisplayHDR1400 specification was Acer’s own version of a 32-inch 4K 144Hz gaming monitor called the Predator X32.
In 2020, you’ll also have more technologies to look out for. At CES this year, AMD announced new tiers of FreeSync. The first is FreeSync Premium, which indicates a display will have at least a 120Hz refresh rate at 1080p or higher and low frame rate compensation (LFC). The next higher tier, FreeSync Premium Pro, offers those same features while also ensuring HDR is supported. You may even see TVs show up with these certifications.
What to look for in a gaming monitor
Below I go over the three essential things you should consider before buying a gaming monitor including screen size, resolution, and aspect ratio. Ive also briefly explained a few of the more technical aspects of computer display such as panel types, refresh rate, and the variable refresh rate technologies available today.Screen size: How big? Will probably be the first thing youll ask yourself when you go about buying a gaming monitor, and the answer really comes down to your unique situation. Are you in a tiny dorm with barely any room or are you looking to get a 43-inch gaming monitor to replace your TV?
How you answer that question will ultimately determine the display size you need. But if youre looking for some basic guidelines on screen sizes, 24- to 27-inch gaming monitors will satisfy most gamers. Those looking for a more immersive experience might be interested in a 32-inch or larger screen. As with most things, gaming monitors will usually become more expensive as you go up in size, so think with your budget as much as your ambition.
Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio of your monitor is closely related to its size because it determines which form factor your display will have. The majority of monitors fall into the widescreen category with their 16:9 aspect ratio. Ultrawide displays have been rising in popularity recently and these screens often feature the 21:9 aspect ratio you would typically see at the movie theater. If you can believe it modern gaming monitors have only been getting even wider and theres a growing crop of 32:9 displays as well.
Screen resolution: This determines how sharp your gaming monitor will be and, for the most part, there are three choices: Full HD (1,920 x 1,080), Quad HD (2,560 x 1,440), and Ultra HD or 4K (3,840 x 2,160). Like screen size, as the numbers go up so does the price, plus they’ll require a higher-end graphics card if you hope to maintain a high frame rate.Think with your budget as much as your ambition
Panel type: Although most monitors might look the same on the surface, there are a few different panel types that offer specific benefits and shortcomings. Twisted Nematic (TN) panels are the most basic and common panel youll come across as they deliver the fastest response times of 1ms often at the cost of duller colors, grayer black levels, and poor viewing angles.In-Plane Switching (IPS) is the next most prevalent type of display and its basically the opposite of a TN panel. Rather than focusing on speed, IPS panels are known for rendering excellent colors and contrast while offering wider viewing angles in exchange for slightly slower response time, usually hovering around 3-5ms.
Lastly, Vertical Alignment (VA) panels are becoming increasingly common and they essentially split the difference between TN and IPS panels. They offer great image quality with decently quick response times. VA panels arent perfect, though, as sometimes fast-moving objects will give off ghosting effects due to the slower response time.
If you want a responsive gaming monitor, its best to pick one with a fast response time, which is a measure of how quickly a pixel can change from the brightest to the darkest (white to black) color.Response time: Competitive shooters and MoBAs demand the quickest response times, so its best to play these types of games on monitors that offer a 1ms response time. Playing Indie games and most single-player experiences shouldnt be a problem on a display with a response time between 3-5ms and it’s pretty much impossible to find a gaming monitor that is slower than this.
Refresh rate: This is another important measure of how responsive a gaming monitor is, and it defines how often your screen can display a completely new image so it essentially dictates your frame rate. 60Hz is the standard refresh rate for silky smooth PC gaming, but theres a long list of gaming monitors that feature even higher refresh rates of 120Hz, 144Hz, and, so far, up to 240Hz.
Basically, the higher the refresh rates the more times the image on your screen will update every second, resulting in a smoother gameplay experience. Beyond the visual appeal of high refresh rate displays, they can be useful for gamers who need to keep up with the rapid movements competitive games demand. Generally, youll be at an advantage if you see your opponents and react before they do.
G-Sync vs FreeSync: Variable refresh rate (VRR) technology is a fairly recent invention and it ensures you have a consistently smooth and responsive gaming experience. Currently, there are two flavors of VRR, Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, and theyll require a prerequisite that you own a compatible graphics card from the corresponding brand. Nvidia GeForce cards do allow you to enable VRR on any FreeSync monitor, but your results will vary.At the most basic level, VRR syncs your monitors refresh rate with the number of frames your GPU outputs. This prevents screen tearing caused by the graphics card feeding your display multiple frames while it’s is in the middle of refreshing its picture. If your graphics card is running your game at 60 fps, youll see your monitor refresh at exactly 60Hz with wonderfully smooth gameplay.
My only other piece of advice when buying a gaming monitor is to make sure your video card can handle the resolution and refresh rate of the display youre considering. It would be a waste of money to buy a 4K gaming monitor when your GPU can only handle 1080p gaming.
