The most popular screen resolutions for gaming monitors are Full HD (1920 x 1080), QHD (2560 x 1440) and 4K (3840 x 2160). 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. 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. Displays with OLED panels are expensive but the most colorful by far. The best gaming monitors for contrast are VA, but VA also has slower response times.

IPS displays have slightly slower response times but better color than VA monitors. For image quality, TN For a detailed comparison of the two technologies' performance, see our Nvidia G-Sync vs.

FreeSync monitors tend to be cheaper, and performance is comparable. So you can technically run G-Sync on a FreeSync-only monitor, but performance isn't guaranteed.
