When choosing a new gaming monitor, the possibilities are endless. From OLED to IPS, flat to curved panels, and 4K to DQHD, there are many factors to consider. And if you want to game at an extreme level, there are some monitors on the market that offer 500 Hz or higher refresh rates.

The best thing about having so many options for consumers is that you can pick the absolute best monitor based on your specific gaming needs. When seeking the best gaming monitor for your rig, different panel types are vying for your eyeballs—IPS, TN, VA, and even OLED—each with its own pros and cons.

Of course, you can't forget about screen size and aspect ratio, which affect your views, desk space and, again, bank account. And we haven't even discussed bonuses, like speakers, RGB, or port selection. So many options are available to gamers, so some helpful guidance is necessary to make the best possible pick.

Using all of these criteria, our overall best pick is the Dell S3222DGM, which is a 32-inch QHD monitor that offers a compelling balance of resolution, performance, and price. In addition to the S3222DGM, below is a list of the best gaming monitors currently available based on our own tests.

The Dell S3222DGM is a great all-around pick as the top gaming monitor thanks to its excellent image quality, plentiful features, and typical solid build quality. At the heart of this display is a 2560 x 1440 curved VA panel that supports both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync at up to 165 Hz.

You might ask yourself, why has the S3222DGM been on the list for so long? After all, we first reviewed the monitor over two years ago. Well, the S3222DGM gets the fundamentals right and does so at an attractive price point. For example, we measured a contrast ratio of 4,209:1 from its VA panel in our testing, putting it well ahead of the IPS competition, which typically maxes out around the 1,000:1 mark.

With that level of dynamic range, we weren't as concerned about the lack of a dedicated HDR mode.

The S3222DGM's delivers an enviable contrast ratio thanks to its 1800R curved VA panel. While the IPS competition often struggles to break much past 1,000:1, the S3222DGM's VA panels shot to 4209:1 in our tests. The display also reproduced 122 percent of the sRGB color gamut and 85 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut on our tests along with an incredibly accurate gamut error rate of 2.07dE.

On the connectivity front, the S3222DGM features two HDMI 2.0 connectors and one DisplayPort 1.2 port. Speaking of which, you get one HDMI and one DisplayPort cable in the box, both of which are of higher quality than you'll typically find with other gaming monitor pack-ins.

For anyone looking for an excellent gaming monitor that won't break the bank, it's hard to argue against the Dell S3222DGM.

2. Alienware AW2524HF 500 Hz

Best Ultra-High Refresh Rate Monitor

Specifications

Screen Size & Aspect Ratio: 25 inches, 16:9
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Panel Type: IPS / W-LED
Refresh Rate: 500 Hz
Response Time (GTG): 0.5ms
Adaptive-Sync: FreeSync & G-Sync Compatible

Reasons to avoid

-
Expensive
-
Requires premium hardware to maximize its potential

The Alienware AW2524HF plants its flag in the ground as the successor to the world's first 500Hz gaming monitor, the AW2524H. The AW2524HF includes most of the superlatives that made its predecessor such a standout monitor but comes with a lower price tag due to the lack of the Nvidia G-Sync module and a backlight strobe. However, while the AW2524H hit the market with an $800+ price tag, the AW2524HF debuted at $650.

Though 360Hz displays are commonplace today; Dell's new entry ensures no frame tears or motion blur with flagship graphics cards capable of pushing 400+ frames per second. In addition to its outright speed, the AW2524H commands a 2ms advantage in control lag over its 360Hz peers. It was only surpassed by the AW2524H. While casual gamers won't notice the difference in gameplay, it immediately impacted our hands-on testing. Competitive gamers will also notice the difference when online matches become intense.

Just remember that if you want to realize the full potential of the AW2524HF, you'll need something like an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D or Intel Core i9-13900K processor with a GeForce RTX 4090 graphics processor. However, street pricing hovering around the $500 mark is a remarkable bargain for gamers with the central processing and graphics horsepower to back it up.

No flaws of consequence

The Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDP is the new king of the hill when it comes to high-performance OLED gaming monitors. The ROG Swift PG27AQDP has the same 2560 x 1440 resolution as our previous favorite, the Alienware AW2725DF, but boasts a maximum refresh rate of 480 Hz (instead of 360 Hz).

Our instrumented testing showed a brightness of 400 nits in SDR content and 1,300 nits in HDR content. Calibration was also stellar straight out of the box, while contrast and overall color reproduction were excellent (as expected from a modern OLED panel). Excellent video processing and tons of gaming-centric features make the ROG Swift PG27AQDP a must-have for discerning gamers.

Among the OLED competition, the PG27AQDP was tied for first place in response time (just two milliseconds), while it registered just 15 ms for the input lag test. That put it in second place behind its larger brother, the PG32UCDP. However, it's hard to live up to the PG32UCDP's 11-millisecond showing, and 15 ms is nothing to scoff at (and the PG32UCDP also had an advantage by running the test at FHD instead of QHD).

We had no trouble playing games like Doom Eternal at 340 fps at QHD resolution with a GeForce RTX 4090 on the PG27AQDP. We just didn't have enough computing muscle to reach the upper 480 fps limit of the monitor.

Just be aware that the ROG Swift PG27AQDP has an MSRP of $999, making it a few hundred bucks pricier than its closest competition. However, that price premium is warranted, given its performance and features.

Desktop-class OLEDs used to be a rarity in the gaming monitor segment, but over the years, prices have come down, and more entries have entered the fray. The latest comes from Alienware, the jaw-dropping AW3423DFW.

This is a 34-inch ultra-wide monitor with an 1800R curve and a resolution of 3440 x 1440. However, the most important spec is its use of a Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) panel, which offers an extremely wide color gamut and the blackest blacks you’ll find in a gaming monitor.

The AW3423DFW's QD-OLED “heart” provided excellent contrast and color saturation, so we felt no need to calibrate the panel further out of the box. Throw in premium build quality—as we expect from Alienware—along with top-notch video processing, and the AW3423DFW hits all the high notes without any demerits worth mentioning for enthusiast gamers.

AW3423DFW Color

If you want pro-level accuracy for color-critical work, the AW3423DFW has you covered. We measured 107.94% coverage of DCI-P3. We noticed nicely balanced colors, but you can tweak the calibration if you're an absolute stickler. However, any of the adjustments we made only resulted in a minuscule improvement in accuracy and color, so you'd probably be better off sticking with the defaults.

While the AW3423DFW has an MSRP of $1,100, it can easily be found online for just $800, making it a good value for a large-ish monitor if you have the desk space to accommodate it. If you'd like an even cheaper alternative, consider something like the BenQ Mobiuz EX3410R, which retails for around $430.

5. Samsung Odyssey Neo G8

Best Curved Gaming Monitor

Specifications

Screen Size & Aspect Ratio: 32 inches / 16:9
Resolution: 3840 x 2160
Panel Type: VA
Refresh Rate: 240 Hz
Response Time (GTG): 1ms
Adaptive-Sync : G-Sync Compatible, FreeSync

Reasons to buy

+
Stunning SDR and HDR images
+
Color accurate out of the box
+
Next-level gaming performance
+
Smooth motion processing and low input lag

Reasons to avoid

-
Color gamut volume is just average

It may not be the biggest monitor around, but the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 is a great overall curved gaming monitor that gets all the basics right, then goes above and beyond for discerning gamers with its maximum 240 Hz refresh rate. While that refresh rate is not as high as some of the overachieving 360Hz, 480Hz, or even 500Hz monitors on this list, 240Hz is a compelling sweet spot given its maximum 4K resolution.

Samsung also equipped this 32-inch monitor with a 1000R VA panel that features Mini-LED lighting with 1,196 dimming zones. Thanks to local dimming, we measured contrast at 25,000:1 versus the 3,000:1 typical of VA panels.

To put that performance in perspective, the next-closest competitor when we reviewed the Odyssey Neo G8 was the Gigabyte M32UC (2,381.3:1). Only an OLED panel will give you better contrast against the Odyssey Neo G8, and that greater contrast was greatly appreciated in HDR content.

The monitor truly shines in gaming scenarios. With details maxed out, we easily achieved 120 fps in games like Tomb Raider, Call of Duty WWII, and Doom Eternal. If we dialed back the setting a bit, the floodgates opened to approach the 240 fps maximum.

Also, remember that the Odyssey Neo G8 will have a slightly smaller footprint than the monitors in the popular 34-inch class.

When the Odyssey Neo G8 debuted, its street price was around $1,400. Now, however, the monitor can easily be found for around $800 or lower. If you don't mind giving up a bit of size (and speed) to reach a lower price point, also consider the Acer Predator XB273K, with a street price of $500.

6. Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P

Best 4K Gaming Monitor

Specifications

Refresh Rate: 240 Hz
Response Time (GTG): 0.03ms
Adaptive-Sync : FreeSync & G-Sync Compatible

Reasons to buy

+

Light gamma in SDR mode

The Gigabyte Aorus FO32U2P is a gaming monitor after our own heart. It has so many features and capabilities built into one device that it's hard not to be impressed. While the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none" is often tossed around for do-it-all tech products, the FO32U2P is one of those rare monitors that does just about everything right with few downsides.

Part of what makes the FO32U2P so stellar is its use of a high-quality OLED panel, which is becoming standard-issue in high-end gaming monitors. The panel refreshes at 240 Hz and supports AMD FreeSync and Nvidia FreeSync technologies. It also supports many ports, including two HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 2.1, Mini DisplayPort 2.1 (which you rarely see), and DisplayPort 1.4. And we can't forget the built-in KVM. Although the monitor needs calibration out of the box, once your settings are dialed in, you'll be blown away by the excellent overall image quality and increased contrast. Color volume was also just slightly behind comparable OLED and IPS competitors in this class.

Add class-leading video processing and configurable HDR settings, and you have a real winner (which, taken together, is why we gave it our Editor's Choice award).

One other aspect that makes the FO32U2P stand out is what it lacks: a curve. It's pretty common for gaming monitors (and monitors in general) to have a curved panel. However, the FO32U2P features a flat panel, which may appeal to those who disdain the slight curvature of the image being displayed. You'll also be dazzled by the absolutely thin main panel and a slightly bulkier protrusion for the ports. This makes hanging the FO32U2P on the wall seem a more "natural" fit than some of the chunkier monitors available on the market. Couple the thin chassis with the thin bezels, and we're on a full-on immersion spree when viewing content.

If we must ding the FO32U2P for anything, we could quibble that gamma is a tad light in SDR mode. In addition, the $1,299 price isn’t for the faint of heart. However, check out the Acer Predator X32 for a more budget-focused alternative.

Panel Type: OLED
Refresh Rate: 240 Hz
Response Time (GTG): 0.03ms

With OLED panels invading every facet of the gaming monitor sector, it should be no surprise that they pop up in even the largest offerings. That’s definitely the case with the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900, which has a massive OLED panel stretching an impressive 49 inches. So what do you get with your $1,000 investment into widescreen gaming bliss?

Well, for starters, you get a resolution of 5120 x 1440 and a maximum refresh rate of 240 Hz, which is impressive for an OLED panel of this size. And from a 2-3-feet distance, this panel will fill your view. It’s like having two 27-inch, 1440p monitors in one. You'll need nearly 4 feet of desk width and 17 inches of depth to accommodate it, but if you do, you’ll enjoy a wraparound gaming environment without image distortion.

As someone with a 49-inch DQHD monitor sitting on his desk right now for personal use, let's just say that it's hard to go back once you've experienced all the format has to offer.

Philips lists the response time as an OLED-typical 0.03 ms, and you get a maximum brightness of 450 nits in HDR mode and 250 nits in SDR mode (we measured 438 nits and 248 nits, respectively). Out-of-the-box grayscale accuracy was also quite good compared to its rivals.

Regarding connectivity, you'll find two HDMI 2.1 ports, one each for DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C. In addition to a 3.5 mm headphone jack, Philips gives you four surprisingly good-sounding 7.5-watt speakers with DTS tuning.

The end result is a monitor that provides accurate color without the need for calibration out of the box. Video processing is also top-notch, and you even get a remote for controlling the Evnia 49M2C8900 all the way across a room (for when you want to use it as a large-screen TV for watching movies and TV shows).

The Evnia 49M2C8900 is pricey, with a street price of $999, but it's hard to scoff at that price if you have the budget (and desk space) to accommodate this impressive OLED beast. If you want a cheaper 49-inch Monoprice Dark Matter DQHD gaming monitor.

Can be tricky to run at 300 Hz

When you think of displays with a 300Hz refresh rate, you typically picture desktop monitors with a Full HD resolution. However, Nexigo offers something on a smaller scale in the form of the NG17FGQ. This is a 17.3-inch portable monitor that offers a 300Hz refresh rate and connects to a laptop or desktop via HDMI or USB-C (DisplayPort Alt-Mode).

To take advantage of that fast 300Hz refresh rate, you'll need to connect over USB-C with a computer that supports full bandwidth capabilities. If you decide to connect via HDMI, you're limited to 240Hz, which is still heady for a portable monitor. Response times were also low, coming in at just 3ms, making it competitive with desktop-class 360Hz monitors.

Gaming performance across the board is excellent with the NG17FGQ, and it can produce some amazing colors once the panel is calibrated. Its overall good build quality also means that it should stand up to the rigors of behind tossed around in a bag while traveling.

Nexigo even includes a handy remote that can be used to navigate the on-screen display (OSD). Toss in stereo speakers to blast some tunes on the go, and the NG17FGQ makes a great travel companion for gamers and productivity-minded folks alike.

The monitor even supports Dolby Vision, which makes it a perfect fit for the Xbox Series X. What’s amazing about the AW3225QF is that it does everything remarkably well. It’s not perfect, but it is near the top of its class in most categories and does so with excellent motion resolution and low input lag. HDR brightness was also class-competitive at 453 nits.

Shopping Tips for Gaming Monitors

When trying to buy the best gaming monitor for your PC, consider the following:

  • G-Sync or FreeSync? G-Sync only works with PCs with Nvidia graphics cards, while FreeSync only works with systems using AMD ones. So you can technically run G-Sync on a FreeSync-only monitor, but performance isn't guaranteed. FreeSync monitors tend to be cheaper, and performance is comparable. For a detailed comparison of the two technologies' performance, see our Nvidia G-Sync vs. AMD FreeSync comparison article.

  • For image quality, TN < IPS < VA < OLED. Typically, TN monitors are the fastest and cheapest but have weaker viewing angles. IPS displays have slightly slower response times but better color than VA monitors. The best gaming monitors for contrast are VA, but VA also has slower response times. Displays with OLED panels are expensive but the most colorful by far.

  • Refresh rates: bigger is better. This number explains the number of times your monitor updates with new information per second — stated in hertz (Hz) — and, therefore, how many frames per second (fps) the monitor can display. Bigger numbers mean smoother images. Refresh rate is especially important for gamers, so you'll want to shoot for a monitor with at least 120 Hz (most gaming monitors offer at least 144 Hz), combined with the lowest response time you can find.

  • Resolution: Full HD, QHD, 4K. The most popular screen resolutions for gaming monitors are Full HD (1920 x 1080), QHD (2560 x 1440) and 4K (3840 x 2160). The more pixels a screen has, the sharper its image should look. So a 4K monitor will show a more crisp image and more detail than a lower resolution Full HD monitor. Generally speaking, the lowest resolution monitors push the fastest refresh rates, reaching upwards of 500 Hz. Because they have to push many more pixels, 4K monitors usually top out at a 144 Hz refresh rate, although some can hit 240 Hz.

    I own an Acer XG270HU, great monitor. You have to be careful when buying it though, because some of their early production models had a firmware bug that prevented the overdrive from working properly, leading to some nasty ghosting/blur. I had to send mine in to get the firmware updated, and it wasn't a fun process. But once I got it back, I've been nothing but happy with the quality and features of this panel. IMHO FreeSync/G-Sync is probably the greatest development in gaming in the last decade.

    I guess I'm the only one who desires an increase in picture quality/pixel density over screen realestate. I'll take my cheaper 1440p 27" IPS instead of a 1440p 32" LED any day.

    I threw up in my mouth a little when I read the first line of the Asus PG279Q review: "Users looking to build a no-holds-barred rig can literally create an all-Asus system made up of premium components that deliver only the highest performance." Guerilla marketing with sponsored content much? Shame on you, Toms, for being complicit.

    It is the same monitor with more inputs (really, it is exactly the same except the inputs).

    Glad I picked the Acer XB270HU, So good. Sadly mine has already developed two dead pixels in the lower left corner. Unfortunately it doesn't count as a defect for the Acer warranty and B&H won't exchange it after 90 days for dead pixels.

    The link and pricing you have for the AOC G2460PQ in the article is wrong. The link takes you to Amazon for the AOC G2460PQU, a similar monitor to the AOC G2460PQ except for one small problem... the PQU DOESN'T have G-Sync. The pricing appears to be closely made off the PQU which is currently $228 (I'm guessing the price changed after this article was written.)

    Here's the link for the G2460PQ: https://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2460PG-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00SIZ8QDM/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1467372059&sr=1-1

    I daily use the Nixeus NX-VUE24A and the BenQ XL2730Z, I ditched my IPS gaming monitors for the amazing smooth game play I can get with both of these. While they are TN panels the game play experience in no way suffers and the Freesync implementation in both is outstanding.

    I wanted to love the Acer XR341CK and bought one, then promptly returned it. Early reviews got cherry picked samples, general consumer buying was a lottery and most ended with an issue. Attempts to get support where treated with bored indifference and I know two different people that went through 3 RMAs before getting a monitor with few enough issues to keep. (They had to pay for shipping each time and Acer would not offer to compensate after the first RAM was a failure as well) Seeing all these horror stories I chose the refund route.

    I am hearing that the QA issues have finally been resolved but I feel that for the price point quality should not be a crap shoot, but the norm.
