Full HD gaming monitors
Full HD gaming monitors give you smooth visuals without requiring an upgrade to your graphics card. Within the broader range of monitor These are the entry-level models: 23.8-inch or 27-inch, with a refresh rate of 165 to 180 Hz and an IPS panel that changes colors in 1 ms.
This group is the logical choice if you mainly play shooters or have an older PC. Your PC won't have to render as many pixels, so your frame rate will stay high and you'll take full advantage of the high refresh rate. If you're looking for a more compact monitor for a small desk, check out all 24-inch monitors.
27-inch 2K gaming monitors
27-inch 2K gaming monitors display 2560x1440 pixels on the screen size that most gamers prefer. On a 27-inch screen, that resolution delivers a noticeably sharper image than Full HD, while your graphics card can still handle it comfortably. All monitors of this size are listed together in the 27-inch monitors.
Within this group, the lineup ranges from 165 to 180 Hz with FreeSync, up to a top-of-the-line model with Mini LED backlighting. Mini LED distributes light across more than a thousand zones, delivering deep blacks and high brightness. Whether you’re playing single-player games or editing video, you’ll notice the difference in every dark scene.
Curved gaming monitors with a 21:9 aspect ratio
Curved gaming monitors with a 21:9 aspect ratio display 30% more screen area than a standard 16:9 screen. The curvature mimics the natural curve of your eyes, keeping the edges of the screen the same distance away as the center. In a shooter or racing game, this allows you to see more of the playing field at a glance.
The lineup ranges from 30 to 34 inches, with refresh rates up to 200Hz and FreeSync to prevent screen tearing. For many gamers, a monitor like this replaces a dual-monitor setup, since it leaves enough space next to your game for Discord or a browser. All curved models are grouped together in the curved monitors.
What is the required Hz for a gaming monitor?
A gaming monitor needs at least 144Hz to feel truly smooth, and all the monitors in this collection meet or exceed that standard. You’ll notice the difference from a regular 60Hz monitor right away: motion stays sharp, and your aim is noticeably more precise.
Above all, what matters most is the performance of your graphics card. If your PC runs at around 120 frames per second, you’ll be able to take full advantage of 165 or 180 Hz. If you play competitive shooters with high frame rates, go for the 200 Hz model in this collection.
What size gaming monitor fits on your desk?
The size of gaming monitor that fits on your desk depends on your viewing distance and the depth of your desk. On a standard desk, a 24- or 27-inch monitor works well, while a 34-inch ultrawide monitor requires a slightly greater viewing distance. A rough guide:
- 23,8 inch: Compact and lightweight, ideal for competitive shooters and smaller offices.
- 27 inch: The most popular size, offering a good balance between sharpness and clarity.
- 30 tot 34 inch curved: In many setups, it replaces a dual-monitor setup.
If you're between two sizes, consider your viewing distance. The closer you sit to the screen, the more you'll notice the extra sharpness of the 2K Monitors actually sees.
