And our 1ms gaming monitors leave unacceptable input lag in the rearview. We even have HDR gaming monitors that alter in-game lighting to photorealistic levels.

Gaming monitor vs TV

TVs have long been the preferred display for console gamers, and for good reason – it’s easier to lounge back and relax with a controller in hand than it is when hunching over a mouse and keyboard. A comfy couch and big display several feet away is the natural way to play for console gamers.

But most PC gamers have long known that in terms of performance you simply can’t beat a proper gaming monitor, and it’s worth the tradeoff. And even a lot of console players have started to pick up on the benefits and switched over to a gaming monitor.

While there are more TVs out there that are capable of reaching a level of graphical brilliance that many gaming monitors still don’t offer, performance for PC gamers is largely the more important factor, and that’s where gaming monitors shine.

Most gaming monitors can reach up to FHD or QHD levels of resolution, which is pretty close to the standard 4K visuals most TVs now feature (and more 4K gaming monitors are popping up every day). But for the tradeoff in visuals, gaming monitors more commonly offer smoother visuals, with less screen tear and distortion, as well as faster response times. Response times dictate how fast the action takes place on the display in front of you once you’ve pressed a key or button. And gaming monitor response times commonly hover around the 1ms mark, meaning that to the human eye, there is essentially no delay from input to movement. 1ms rates on a TV are all but nonexistent, meaning most TVs are going to suffer from poor response times and show some smearing when fast action is taking place on the screen. TVs also commonly lack a DisplayPort, which allows displays to reach a higher bandwidth than HDMI allows. So, if your goal is to compete above the rest, a great gaming monitor will ensure that input lag isn’t the reason you and your buddies

Is a 27-inch monitor good for gaming?

It provides plenty of screen real estate for games, and the higher resolution means that you'll be able to see more detail in your games. Plus, the larger size means that you won't have to strain your eyes as much when playing.

Plus, many models come equipped with features like G-Sync or FreeSync, which can help to reduce screen tearing and input lag.

Which is better 24 or 27 monitor for gaming?

It depends on the space available, your budget, and your gaming needs. If you have a lot of space and want the best graphics quality, then go for a 27-inch monitor. However, if you don’t have a lot of space or are working with a tight budget, then a 24-inch monitor would be better suited for you. 27-inch monitors are popular for high-resolution games and larger views. Many gamers prefer the extra screen size in order to better see all the details in their games. Plus, larger monitors usually have higher resolutions than smaller ones, so you can enjoy even more immersive gameplay. For those with a small desktop and fewer resolution demands, a 24-inch monitor is the best choice.

Are curved monitors actually worth it?

Curved monitors offer several advantages over their flat counterparts. For one thing, they provide a wider field of view, making it easier to take in all the information on the screen at once. Additionally, the curve helps to reduce eye strain by making it easier for the eyes to follow the lines of text. Curved monitors are worth it if you want a more immersive experience when using your computer. They wrap around your field of view and make you feel as though you're looking at the screen from within the image itself, as opposed to looking at it from above or below. This wraparound effect can be especially beneficial for gaming or watching movies.

Why is 120Hz good for gaming?

A 120Hz refresh rate is double that of the standard 60Hz monitor, which means that it can display up to 120 frames per second. This is important for gamers because it allows them to see smoother motion and image quality. It also reduces screen tearing, which is when the image on the screen is not in sync with the FPS of the game. 120Hz monitors are becoming increasingly popular among gamers because they offer a significant advantage over 60Hz monitors. While most games are still playable on a 60Hz monitor, 120Hz provides a much smoother and more immersive gaming experience.

Is a high refresh rate monitor worth it?

A high refresh rate monitor supports a higher number of frames per second than a standard monitor. The advantage of a high refresh rate monitor is that it can provide a smoother and more responsive experience when gaming or watching a video. Higher refresh rates can also reduce eye strain and fatigue. However, high refresh rate monitors are often more expensive than standard monitors, and they can require more powerful hardware to achieve their full potential. Ultimately, whether or not a high refresh rate monitor is worth it depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you regularly play fast-paced games or do other graphics-intensive work, then a high refresh rate monitor can be a valuable investment.
