It's a little pricey perhaps, but if you're looking to get a great PC monitor that can be great for other uses too: it's also one of our top picks for best PS4 monitor such is its quality.
A high-refresh monitor with a decent IPS panel is within reach that will still be a top gaming monitor. Inevitably, some compromises have to be made. The difference between the two?
Good for a seriously zappy 1ms pixel response and with both variable refresh rate support and a low input lag mode, they run at a fulsome Hz. But then fewer pixels means more frames and lower latency which might just give you that critical edge in your Battle Royale or team-based shooter of choice, be that Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, Battlefield 5, or Overwatch.
One obvious omission, spec-wise, is HDR capability of any kind. But then very few monitors deliver a true HDR experience. It's ordinary looking but it packs a punch and offers an incredibly speedy monitor for gaming. Add into this ASUS' own Extreme Low Motion Blur Sync technology and the in-game pictures this monitor provides are some of the smoothest and best you can get on a p monitor.
The image quality is excelently crisp, too - it's not all about the speed. Stir in a rating of HDR10 high dynamic range for colour and brightness levels, too, and they are some of the nicest images on a p you can get too. The VG27AQ does a great job of balancing overall picture quality, speeds and, importantly, the price point.
It's a great do-it-all monitor that will serve people well for PC gaming and console gaming. While the viewing angles of its TN panel leave something to be desired, it boasts a shocking wealth of functionality typically found outside a budget monitor's wheelhouse.
For instance, unlike the vast majority of even the best gaming monitors, this one has built-in speakers. They're unremarkable, but they are there for those times you want to share an epic gaming moment with a friend in the same room, audio included.
Better yet, there's a headphone jack to ensure you never have to scramble for a cable long enough to reach your motherboard. Sadly, however, it is not G-Sync Compatible — trust us, we tested it. That said, it does have a utilitarian selection of ports, namely two HDMI 2. And, should you spend hours on end trying to best your KDR in Apex Legends , Ben-Q's integrated eye-care solution automatically adjusts brightness and blue light to safeguard your eyes from the evils of light-emitting diodes.
It's not perfect, but the fact that this inch 4K HDR screen regularly goes on sale for a fraction of its sticker price is a compelling case for snatching one up. With local dimming, adaptive sync, high refresh, HDR, quantum dot technology, a curved panel and more, on paper it's got the works. More specifically, it comes with a inch diagonal with p resolution and Hz refresh for what many would agree absolutely nails the sweet spot in terms of balancing detail with speed and response.
The main question mark concerns the use of VA panel technology, which is traditionally associated with slow pixel response and generally slightly laggy performance. Not so here. Samsung claims 1ms response times and this monitor feels and looks at least that quick.
That it also matches IPS panels for colours and adds excellent contrast into the mix makes for an incredibly compelling package. Oh, and that price. That painfully premium price. It feels like p and 27 inches has been the sweet spot for affordable PC gaming for an age. Does it make sense for consoles, too? Even with that quirk aside, this MSI panel still has a lot going for it. Arguably even more important is the fact that this monitor is seriously fast. That speed makes it great for all kinds of PC gaming and a particular joy for online shooters.
Dell offers a lot of monitors, from basic p run-of-the-mill office jobs to uber impressive 4K beauties. The SDGF slots firmly in the middle, offering gaming performance at p, and while the specs are those you'd expect of a top-notch competitive esports ready screen, it certainly doesn't look like one on the outside.
When any PC gamer is looking for a monitor, two specs are vital; refresh rate and response time. Another attraction is the IPS panel, which is excellent and contributes to the bang-to-buck value that the monitor offers. The monitor is covered in a matte, all-black finish, with thin, flat bezels around the edge, making it a brilliant choice for anyone looking for a double or triple-monitor set-up.
The only place this monitor trips up is in HDR performance, especially dark areas. The contrast is low, which means it's often hard to differentiate between subtle blacks and greys, but if you're using this primarily for gaming and not movie-watching, it's not too big of a deal. This is one of the best p gaming monitors on the market. The Alienware AWHF is one of the most affordable p Hz monitors with a 1ms response time out there, making it an ideal choice for gamers who want to compete at the highest level in games like Valorant, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, or anything else with an elite esports scene.
Unfortunately though, if you're a fan of playing non-competitive or single player games and appreciate the ever-improving graphics in the latest games, you may prefer to opt for a p or 4k monitor with a Hz refresh rate so your games look even better.
If those are out of your price range, even a Hz p monitor may be the preferred choice because this display has a problem with uneven blacks, making dark scenes look slightly dodgy. This is also the case if you're watching movies or TV shows on it. A brilliant monitor with a very specific audience. Go big or go home. At 49 inches - count them! To that, you can add excellent claimed colour fidelity with 95 per cent coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut, 3, static contrast from the VA panel, Hz refresh, and a gentle R.
Oh, and megabucks styling in typical Samsung fashion. The CRG9 also lacks the very last word in pixel response. While the 5, by 1, native resolution adds up to a lot of pixels, such as the epic panel size the pixel density is actually pretty poor. A inch curved monitor surrounded by razor-thin bezels and a clear-as-day p resolution, you'd expect the boasts to start and end there considering the price. But you'd be wrong. It also packs nits of brightness, and it's certified for VESA DisplayHDR , so it's plenty colorful and vibrant enough to depict colors as they appear in real life.
For flashy, stylized esports like Overwatch, this can prove useful for spotting opponents as well as for simply admiring the beauty of the artwork the developers have poured their hearts and souls into creating. We mention esports, specifically, because competitive gamers are the obvious target audience for this display. Whereas single-player gamers tend to prefer IPS panels for their superior viewing angles, the Agon AGQCG is a TN panel, designed for displaying games at buttery smooth high frame rates as a result of its Hz refresh rate.
Effectively, this means the monitor "refreshes" times every second, lending itself well to fps gaming. Assuming your gaming rig is up to the task, this is a fast and fluid monitor, with a nigh-instantaneous response time of 1ms. As Yoda would say, the next time you miss your shot, blame your monitor you will not.
And that goes without mentioning G-Sync, which by itself adds a great deal of value to one of the best gaming monitors money can buy right now. Unlike FreeSync, which is part of the DisplayPort 2. G-Sync monitors also tend to support a wider range of applicable refresh rates, as well as better anti-ghosting than FreeSync monitors. The AWHF is a particularly enticing option, with a focus on exceptionally fast response times and refresh rates which comes at a forgivable cost of visual resolution.
That aforementioned refresh rate comes in at an impressive Hz, making the AWHF perfect for competitive gaming with consistently smooth imaging that rarely buckles under pressure. Another curvy bit of eye candy for you, this time from the fine folks at Alienware.
This one is a more compact option for widescreen fans, with 34 inches of pixels. This monitor's secret weapon is that is it can be overclocked to a Hz refresh rate, which puts in ahead of some of its cheaper rivals. Add to that its Hz refresh rate and G-Sync technology, which offer high frame rates without screen tearing, and Alienware is making sure you get plenty of bang for every buck you're putting into it.
The monitor also gets a nod for keeping it classy on the design front. Think corporate super villain minimalism, with a ultrathin three-sided bezel and a stand that doesn't dominate your desk space.
But this is still a bright screen with decent contrast 1, HDR is aided by a variable backlight, which brings contrast to a high 7, For most, the CRG5 is in the sweet spot for a Hz monitor. Its p resolution will require less graphics power than the p PD When it came to our speed benchmarks, the PD27 was 1ms faster than the CRG5 in the response time test and 2ms slower in the absolute input lag test.
So performance there is comparable, but the PD27 is also in a different style class.

It even comes with a neat little remote. Text is noticeably fuzzy on the display, the HDR looks washed out compared to SDR, and the speakers are bad at highlighting dialogue.
Despite all of that, if you can get over some fuzzy text and come prepared with your own gaming headset, the Asus ROG Swift PG43UQ is easily one of the best gaming monitors out there. The all-black nearly bezel-less inch monitor is ergonomically friendly, highly adjustable, easy on the eyes, and built for speed with 1ms response times and a Hz refresh rate to ensure buttery smooth motion and image quality.
After a few minutes of slaughtering a few bandits, bruisers, and spider creatures, and blowing off the head of a vicious little grenade-wielding marauder who was throwing grenades at me, I was taken with the display. Its inch, x display covers 93 percent of the sRGB color gamut and hits a respectable nits of brightness.
This monitor also has one of the best lag times we saw in this price range. Unlike many of the inexpensive gaming monitors we looked at, the LG 24MP59G-P has some visual flair, thanks to a two-toned red-and-black color scheme that will make it look right at home in your battlestation.
The construction is stylish and sturdy, and a small four-direction joystick set into the bottom edge of the display cabinet lets you navigate menus quickly and also doubles as a power button. Samsung's CHG70 curved gaming monitor blew us away with the full force of a rainbow. When playing Grand Theft Auto V, we especially noticed how night scenes looked a little more true to life, with bright, glowing headlights and signs that popped against the low lighting.
Colors were vibrant, including the blue in images of California skies and the red of a stolen sports car. In SDR mode, the monitor averaged up to nits of brightness in our testing, and in HDR mode, the specs say that the monitor can go up to nits. To top it all off, the display sits on a super-ergonomic stand that can accommodate any setup you throw at it. See our full Samsung CHG70 review. This inch champion covers a rich percent of the sRGB color gamut. And while it stumbled slightly with its nits of brightness, it offers a speedy 4-ms response time for a 4K monitor.
Playing Mass Effect: Andromeda on the PG27A's inch, ultra-HD display was revelatory; the game's lush forests and imposing alien structures looked incredibly sharp and colorful. We could even make out the tiny scratches and patches of condensation on the character's helmet -- two details that we never really noticed before. It also neatly flips into portrait mode, as if it were meant to be viewed that way all along.
At 34 inches with a x resolution, it's incredibly immersive, covering 99 percent of the sRGB color gamut and a strong nits of brightness. Tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege ran smoothly and played responsively, and in a game where a few shots can kill you, we appreciated having the extra field of view for spotting bad guys.
Watching a 4K trailer for Elysium on the Predator made us feel like we were in a mini movie theater, from the sheer sharpness of the film's futuristic landscapes to the engulfing aspect ratio.
You'll even get the full dive with the Predator's crisp 7-watt speakers and its Nvidia G-Sync compatibility. This monitor just looks pretty badass, too, as if an alien artifact crash-landed on your desk. See our full Acer Predator X34 review. The XG did an excellent job highlighting the lush forests, flowing rivers and colorful fantasy characters of Dota 2, making it easy for us to keep up with the action.
The monitor's RTS and MOBA modes made the image almost excessively sharp — they didn't look especially pretty, but these modes created thick outlines around every character that could potentially help pro players better spot allies and enemies. The ViewSonic averages nits of brightness, while the color landed at 91 percent, which could be better.
But for a monitor this inexpensive, the built-in speakers packed a punch when we cranked the volume up all the way, and this monitor even offers a neat headphone stand. See our full ViewSonic XG review. Choosing the best gaming monitors for you is dependent on a lot of factors, such as: budget, the size you want or space you have, the GPU you have and what kind of balance you want between resolution and refresh rate.
However, if you want to hit a 4K resolution comboed with a high refresh rate, you better be willing to spend the money, because something like the Alienware AWQF is going to burn a hole in your wallet. But if you want to keep your budget relatively low and are primarily focused on playing eSports games, such as Overwatch and CS:GO, we recommend getting a high refresh rate monitor like the ViewSonic Elite XG
