How to choose the right gaming monitor

A great gaming monitor is one of the most important parts of your setup. It´s what brings your games to life, and the right one can make your experience smoother, more immersive, and even help you play better. To get the most out of your powerful gaming PC, you need a screen that can keep up without causing issues like flickering or blurry images.
If you´re looking for a new gaming monitor, here are the most important things to think about in simple terms.

Screen size and picture sharpness (resolution)

When it comes to size, bigger can feel more immersive, but it needs to be paired with the right sharpness, or resolution.
For fast-paced games where speed is everything, Full HD (or 1080p) is a great choice, especially on screens around 24 inches. It´s easy for your computer to run, so you get very high frame rates.
If you want a sharper, more detailed picture, QHD (or 1440p) is the perfect middle ground and looks fantastic on a 27-inch monitor. It´s a noticeable upgrade in clarity.
For the most stunning, movie-like graphics, 4K is the best you can get. It provides an incredibly crisp picture, but you´ll need a very powerful PC to run games smoothly at this level.

Smoothness and motion clarity

Two numbers are key for making your game look and feel responsive: refresh rate (Hz) and response time (ms).
Refresh rate tells you how smooth the game looks. A standard office monitor is 60Hz, but for gaming, you want at least 144Hz. This makes movement on screen look incredibly fluid and less choppy. The higher the number, the smoother it gets.
Response time affects motion blur. A fast response time means moving objects look sharp and clear. A slow one can create a blurry trail or "ghosting" effect behind them. For gaming, look for a low number, like 4 milliseconds (ms) or less.

Making games look smooth (G-sync and FreeSync)

Have you ever played a game where the image looks like it´s split or "tearing" for a second during fast action? This happens when your monitor and computer are out of sync. To fix this, look for a monitor with G-Sync (for NVIDIA graphics cards) or FreeSync (for AMD cards). This technology forces them to work together, getting rid of that ugly tearing and making your gameplay look perfectly seamless.

Plugs and other features

Make sure the monitor has the right connections for your gear. You´ll need a DisplayPort connection for the best performance from your PC, and HDMI ports for consoles like a PlayStation or Xbox. Some monitors have extra USB ports built-in, which are really handy for plugging in your mouse, keyboard, or headset directly.
You might also see features like curved screens for a more immersive feel or HDR for richer, more vibrant colors. These can be great additions depending on your preference.
Finally, think about what´s most important for the types of games you play. By focusing on these key areas, you can find a monitor that fits your budget and will make your gaming experience much better.
