Whether you’re saving the world from alien invasion, scoring the game-winning goal in overtime, or taking down a high-level
target with the rest of your squad, the right gaming monitor can mean the difference between “Mission Accomplished” and
“Game Over”. When compared with standard displays, gaming monitors provide greater detail and smoother visuals, so you can
react and respond with enhanced speed and precision.
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your battle station, or you’re setting one up from scratch, here’s a quick look at
everything you to need know about how to choose the best gaming monitor for today’s games.
Refresh rate refers to how long it takes the monitor to redraw the entire screen. Most standard monitors have a refresh rate of
60Hz, and while that’s fine for surfing the web or streaming the occasional movie, it’s not fast enough for gaming. If you don’t
want your games to look blurry during fast movement or on-screen action, look for a monitor with a refresh rate of at least 100Hz.
The best gaming monitors have refresh rates of 240Hz.
Response time measures how long it takes a single pixel to change from one shade of gray to another. The faster the transition,
the smoother and more blur-free the on-screen action will be. For gaming, try to choose a monitor with a response time of at
least 4ms. The best gaming monitors have response times of at least 2ms.
Resolution refers to the number of pixels that can fit on the display. The more pixels, the sharper and more detailed the images
being displayed. For gaming, nothing less than a Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution will do. The best gaming monitors
feature a 4K Ultra HD resolution, which is four times that of 1080p.
Screen Size
When you’re picking a new gaming monitor, display size isn’t super critical and shouldn’t be the deciding factor. Instead, take
into account the display’s resolution when assessing screen size. For 4K Ultra HD monitors, it’s best to aim for a larger screen. For
1080p monitors, 24” and under is ideal.
Panel Technology
There are two types of display panels in today’s gaming monitors: TN (twisted nematic) and IPS (in-plane switching). TN displays
support the fastest response times, while IPS displays deliver better colour and contrast.
Curved or Flat
When compared with flat panel displays, curved monitors deliver greater visual fidelity thanks to better viewing angles. On a
curved monitor, each point on the display is an equal distance from your eyes. This can be especially helpful for gamers, who
may be monitoring several HUDs clustered in the corners of the display.
Ultra-Wide
Conventional gaming monitors typically have an aspect ratio of 16:9. Ultra-wide gaming monitors, by contrast, have aspect ratios
of 21:9, 32:9, and beyond. This creates a panoramic feel that’s ideal for gamers, allowing them to expand their in-game peripheral
vision and see more on-screen at once.
You’ll also want to ensure the monitor you choose has the appropriate inputs you need to connect it to your PC, laptop, gaming
console, or other devices. Most gaming monitors now include both DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, as well as headphone jacks and
integrated USB ports.
