How to choose the best gaming monitor for you

Gaming monitors are for those who enjoy getting the most out of their PC builds/setups. You've just bought a GTX 1080, you don't want to be playing on a monitor that only supports 720p, do you?

To choose the right gaming monitor, you'll need to figure out what your PC can spit out. There's nothing worse than buying a monitor to later find out that it's not being used to it's full potential.

Below you will find a list of the 4 most important factors to take into consideration before buying a gaming monitor:

  • Panel Size and Resolution

When you're looking at panel size, then bigger is almost always better. Get whatever fits within your room and budget. If you have room for a 27-inch screen, then get one, as it provides plenty of space to work with and a lot of 27-inch monitors have Wide, Quad High-Definition (WQHD) resolution. Video backgrounds hd 4 0. The higher resolution outside games allows you to browse and work better on your computer, as you will have more pixels to play with.

  • Pixel Response Time and Refresh Rate

A gaming monitor should have a fast pixel response time and a high refresh rate. When you're reading specs of monitors, you'll notice the response time is labelled as 'GtG', which means Gray-To-Gray. This spec is measured in milliseconds and specifies the amount of time it takes to transition from one shade of gray to another.

A low pixel response time eliminates motion blur effects and produces an overall smother gameplay than higher pixel response times. A gray-to-gray response time of 4ms and below is fine for gaming. You should aim for 1ms though, if possible.

A panel also has a refresh rate. This specifies the amount of times the screen is refreshed to display a new image. It is measured in Hertz (Hz). Currently, most LCD monitors have a refresh rate of 60Hz, but fast moving images may appear blurry, and the gameplay just doesn't feel smooth. Also, screen tearing may appear, which is when the monitor displays multiple pieces of different screen draws at the same time. You should get a monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate, as this eliminates much of these issues. A 120Hz or higher refresh rate is also required if you want to use active 3D technology.

5 Best Gaming Monitors of 2017

1. Samsung U28E590D LED Gaming Monitor

Positives:

  • 1ms response time

Pixelmator full featured image editor 3 9. Negatives:

  • No USB port

The U28E590D is a slick 28-inch 4K gaming monitor that incorporates a sharp picture and eye-catching angular design. If your PC has the power, this panel brings the pixels — all 8.3 billion of them. Images are both detailed and clear thanks to a brightness of 370cd/m, and Samsung's decision to fulfil the 1ms response time will let you swiftly pick off enemies in the darkest corners. Picture settings can be tweaked using the on-screen menu, or you can sit back and allow its Game Mode and Dynamic Contrast modes to do the heavy lifting. DisplayPort 1.2 gives the green light for fluid 60Hz gaming at 4K, and smart port placement means you won't have to bend backwards to connect cables or peripherals around the back. Surrounding the display is a super-thin bezel too that lets you see the bigger picture.

2. BenQ XL2720Z 27 inch 144 Hz e-Sports Gaming Monitor

Positives:

  • Fantastic for gaming

Negatives:

  • No feel sync

The rise of 4K panels has led to 1080p monitor makers upping their game. While most ordinary people get by with 60Hz screens, gamers seeking a higher level (or two) of accuracy are turning to ultra-responsive 144Hz monitors — and the 27-inch BenQ XL2720Z is one of the best. Those extra hertz are complimented by a ton of features including motion-blur reduction, ZeroFlicker technology that makes gaming easier on the eyes and three genre-specific settings (two for first-person shooters and one for real-time strategy titles). Like the Samsung U28D590D, it has an unbeatable 1ms response time, and a button to easily flick through 12 aspect ratios means you can alter the screen to play like professional gamers who narrow their line of sight in shooters by switching to 4:3 in competitive tournaments. At £329 it's a fair bit more expensive than your regular 1080p monitor, but if you're into gaming the XL2720Z's feature set makes it a solid offering.

3. AOC 27 inch 144 Hz LED Gaming Monitor

Positives:

  • Good value for money

Negatives:

  • No motion blur reduction

AOC fulfils the 1ms response and 144hz refresh benchmarks, and accompanies that with a classic, clean design and a very nice Full HD LED display. The real USP here though is the integrated USB hub, which features USB ports for your mouse, keyboard, and a fast-charging port for your phone. Nifty.

4. ASUS VG248QE 24 inch Widescreen LED Multimedia 3D Monitor

Positives:

  • 144hz refresh rate
  • Nvidia 3d vision support
  • Comes with Asus's ASCR dynamic contrast ratio technology

Negatives:

  • Reduced viewing angles

The Asus VG248QE features a 1080 FHD display that runs at 144hz. The display is actually pretty great; given that it was one of the first gaming monitors to feature a true 100+ refresh rate. The response time is as good as most other high-end gaming monitors, standing true at 1ms. The VG248QE also features a LED backlight with Asus ASCR dynamic contrast tech; which uses the backlight to help create better contrast between the blacks and the color. The monitor also puts out a pretty good brightness rating of 350cd, making sure you actually see the action that the high pixel density 24' 1080 panel puts out.

5. Dell U2715H 27 inch LCD Monitor'>Dell U2715H 27 inch LCD Monitor

Positives:

  • Solid audio output

Negatives:

  • Poor stand design

At 400 squids, the Ultrasharp range sure isn't cheap. But if you're looking for crystal clear QHD and top quality picture definition, then you've got to be willing to pay the big bucks. Only an 8ms response time mind you, but a 2560 x 1440 resolution panel, a host of connections in the rear and near 180 degree viewing angle make this a more media-friendly option.

Recapping the year, we saw some of the fastest screens to date with the 240Hz, 1ms TN panels. Similarly, IPS panels continue to evolve with 144 and 165Hz refresh rates, and shrinking response times and input lag. 4K gaming is still a premium pursuit, but the displays are becoming more prevalent and affordable. Additionally, 1080p still remains the most popular gaming resolution. The trends of Quantum Dot, HDR10, 5K, and 8K will likely pervade through 2018.

Best Budget 1080p Gaming Monitor ($180 on sale, $200 list)

ASUS VG245H: The ASUS VG245H will make for a good entry-level/budget display for those looking to get into PC gaming at 1080p. The design is somewhat basic, when compared against ASUS' flagship products with starship/steampunk aesthetics, but it offers quite a bit for a sub-$200 monitor. The VG245H uses a TN panel with a 75Hz refresh rate and FreeSync. Additionally, ASUS exclusives such as GamePlus and GameVisual are present. Connectivity is limited to HDMI and D-Sub. Some may recoil at the lower refresh rate, but for those looking for a fluid and responsive gaming experience at the lowest cost, you could do far worse.

Best Budget 1440p Gaming Monitor (~$230 on sale, $329 list)

BenQ GW2765HT: Usually listed at $329, this BenQ 27' 1440p IPS display is marked down to $250, with an additional $20 off when using code BF17FLYER01. The display doesn't offer any adaptive synchronization technologies, but does offer 2560x1440 resolution at an entry-level price, while still managing a 27' IPS panel.

Best 240Hz FreeSync Monitor ($400 on sale, $450 list)

AOC Agon AG251FZ: Arguably the most exciting development in monitors this year was manufactures such as ASUS and Acer trotting out their first 240Hz panels. The Agon AG251FZ is the FreeSync response to the above-mentioned panels, both of which are G-Sync. The AG251FZ uses the expected TN panel for the exceedingly high refresh, and is LED backlight. The display offers Freesync between 48-240Hz, and 8-bit color depth is on tap. Connectivity comes in the form of DisplayPort w/ 240Hz FreeSync support, DVI w/ 144Hz support, and VGA w/ 60Hz support. HDMI 1.4 is also available. For Radeon GPU users with a medium to high-end system, AOC's Agon AG251FZ will certainly drive a well-above average gaming experience.

Best Budget 4K Monitor ($350 on sale, $600 list)

LG 32UD59-B: We just bought one of these for the lab. For an entry-level 4K display, the LG 32UD59-B is marked down significantly from its list price of $600, making it one of the most affordable 4K monitors on the market. The unit comes with FreeSync and a 60Hz refresh, enabled via HDMI or DisplayPort. Use code EMCBBCC46 for $50 off.

Best G-Sync Monitor ($523 on sale, $550 list)

Acer Predator XB252Q: Both ASUS and Acer seem to be perpetually contending for display supremacy, and that certainly was no different this year, as both rolled out top-rated 240Hz G-Sync displays. G-Sync is still a premium that adds $100-$200 directly on top of a gaming monitors price, but for those with a high-end Nvidia GPU, that surcharge can make sense.

The specs for Acer's Predator XB252Q are an FHD-resolution TN panel, with LED backlighting. TN panels may seem anti-evolutionary this far along the line, but this is a performance first product, bent on driving frames. G-Sync is available from 24-240Hz, and ULMB is supported though 144Hz. The panel offers 8-bit color and 400 nits brightness, and input comes in the form of HDMI 1.4 and DispalyPort 1.2. We've listed Acer's virtually identical cousin as an honorable mention—it's worth stating that for most users, the choice will come down to price, styling, or brand loyalty.

Honorable mention: ASUS ROG Swift PG258Q

Best UltraWide Gaming Monitor on a Budget ($690 on sale, $949 list)

Samsung C34F791: Samsung's C34F791 was initially met with criticisms regarding FreeSync flickering with certain Radeon GPUs; we tested and validated such claims on our sample, and largely found the issue resolved with a driver push from AMD. That said, the display has one of the highest quality panels we've used, and offers supreme text clarity. On top of this, it offers respectable gaming chops with FreeSync and a 100Hz refresh rate. Quantum Dot technology and the 1500R curvature make the Samsung C34F971 a pricey option, but those looking for a monitor with gaming and productivity dualism, the C34F791 is aptly suited.

Global Wellness Economy Monitor 2017

Honorable mention: ASUS MG279Q

Irish Sports Monitor 2017

Best High-End 4K Gaming Monitor ($700 on sale, $900 list)

Acer Predator XB271HK: As previously stated, 4K gaming is still an expensive endeavor, requiring a ton of rendering power. For those that of elected to invest in a GTX 1080 Ti or Titan XP—or a pair of either—a similarly exquisite monitor might be a good choice. The Acer Predator XB271HK uses a IPS panel, with a refresh rate of 60Hz—refresh rate is compromised at such high-res and pixel density. However, there's also G-Sync to help stabilize frames and prevent screen tearing. Response time comes in at 4ms, which is accepted of IPS panels. Other specs include 10-bit color depth, 300nits brightness, and HDMI 1.4 and Displayport 1.2 inputs.

Best UltraWide Gaming Monitor ($1026)

Monitor 2017 Odpovede

Acer XR382CQK: Bringing this list to a close is the most expensive category, UltraWides. For those who want screen real estate, the Acer XR382CQK is one of the top picks of the year. The display uses a 4K IPS panel, with an aspect ratio of 21:10—even more non-standard than 21:9. Widescreen setups suffer from a lack of support from software and games, with not everything scaling equally. So, prospective buyers should be aware of what aspect ratio is supported with their favorite games, software, and content. The XR382CQK also supports FreeSync, albeit the range is narrow at 48-75Hz. Input options are HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort, and DisplayPort out. Finally, the honorable mention here is a model we've been using with our machines, so it comes recommended as well.

Honorable mention: LG 34UM88-P https://tel-download.medium.com/adobe-10-6-download-39d6cb238d9b.
