Top Monitors 2023

Thanks to its VA panel with a high contrast ratio, 3440×1440 screen resolution, and 1800R curvature, the BenQ EX3501R immerses its viewers with crystal-clear and engaging image quality – while the 100Hz refresh rate, low input lag, and FreeSync ensure smooth performance. Additionally, the extra features and extensive connectivity options can be very useful. However, there are more cost-effective options out there.

The BenQ EW3270U is a great 4K UHD monitor with unique features, wide color gamut, and exceptional performance. It’s well-suited for movie enthusiasts, console gamers, office work, and everyday PC use.

The Dell P2419H is a gorgeous ultra-slim monitor with rich connectivity and full ergonomic support.

The Philips 276E8VJSB is an excellent 27″ 4K IPS monitor for the price. While it does lack some important features such as FreeSync and VESA mount compatibility, it’s also cheaper than the alternatives which may be a good trade-off for those with a limited budget or for those don’t need the said features.

The MSI MAG273R is a good monitor for most uses, but due to the low pixel density, it's not ideal for multitasking or office work. It has low input lag and a great response time, making it a great choice for gaming. It has wide viewing angles, good reflection handling, and good peak brightness, so it looks good in most rooms. Although this monitor supports HDR, it has a low contrast ratio and small highlights can't get very bright, so HDR doesn't add much.

The Gigabyte G32QC is a good gaming monitor. It has a high refresh rate, and it has native FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility. Sadly, its narrow viewing angles and bad ergonomics make it less ideal for co-op gaming, and even though its high contrast ratio is well-suited for dark rooms, there's a lot of backlight bleed. It also has a slow response time that leads to black smearing with fast-moving objects.

The BenQ EX2780Q is an impressive monitor for gaming. It has nearly everything that gamers ask for: low response time, low input lag, high refresh rate, and support for FreeSync. Its size and resolution provide great immersion in RPGs or atmospheric games, but sadly, it's not well-suited for dark room gaming, as it has a low contrast ratio and mediocre black uniformity.

The Acer Nitro XV282K is great for gamers looking for the sharpest possible image, thanks to its high pixel density. It runs at the maximum refresh rate for the 4K class and delivers flawless Adaptive-Sync. Though the monitor’s contrast is only average, it delivers vibrant color and a solid gaming experience.

The LG 34WK95U-W is a good monitor for most uses. It's bright enough for a bright office, and it has wide viewing angles that allow you to easily share your work. It has a low input lag to please gamers and a fast response time to display fast content with little blur. However, its defining feature is its size and large resolution that lets you display more on the screen.

The Acer KB272 EBI is an overall excellent budget monitor thanks to its 100Hz refresh rate, but we recommend investing in a 144Hz/165Hz display instead.
