Top Monitors 2023

The Acer KB272HL is a decent 27″ 1080p monitor for the price. However, unless you’re looking for a monitor mainly for watching movies/videos, there are better alternatives for gaming and work-related use.

The Samsung C24F396 is an affordable curved monitor which thanks to its high contrast ratio provides an immersive viewing experience.

The Sony INZONE H3 are decent for wired gaming. These fairly comfortable headphones offer a lot of customizability, meaning you can tweak their otherwise boomy and bright sound to your liking, and you can access a virtual soundstage feature for a more immersive sound. If you like to game with others, they have a boom mic that offers good overall performance. Your voice sounds clear and natural, even in moderately noisy environments. These headphones also come with an analog to USB-A adapter, so you can connect to devices via USB if you prefer. On the downside, they're very prone to deviations in audio delivery, so it's important to take the time to ensure a good fit to get a more consistent sound.

The LG 32QN55T-B is a decent monitor overall. It's a good choice for office users or media creators, with a large screen that makes it easier to see more of your work at once and wide viewing angles. It's just okay for gaming, as it has a slow response time and limited gaming features. It's decent for watching videos, mainly due to the large screen, but it doesn't look as good in a dark room due to its low contrast ratio. Finally, although it supports HDR, this adds very little due to the low contrast ratio, low peak brightness in HDR, and lack of a local dimming feature.

The Acer ET322QK is an affordable 32″ 4K monitor with great image quality and plenty of features including HDR and FreeSync. However, there are better and cheaper alternatives available.

The Dell S3221QS is a good monitor for most uses. It has a large screen and high resolution, making it a good choice for work, gaming, or watching videos online. It has low input lag, decent response time, and supports variable refresh rate for a nearly tear-free gaming experience. It performs well in dark rooms and gets bright enough to fight glare in well-lit environments. Unfortunately, it has mediocre viewing angles and limited ergonomic adjustments.

The Samsung C34J791 is a decent monitor for mixed usage. It has a large ultrawide screen with ample resolution that favors multitasking but unfortunately, it has poor viewing angles. It is very responsive to your actions but you should avoid placing it in a very bright room as it cannot fight bright room glare.

The Dell U3818DW is a good monitor for most uses. It has a good stand that can easily be adjusted to an optimal viewing position. It gets decently bright and has very good reflection handling, great for a bright room. The high-resolution, large screen is great for multitasking or for an immersive gaming experience. It has low input lag and decent motion handling.

Decent monitor for a mixed usage. The Dell P2217H is a simple and small monitor fit to be used as a general purpose screen. It doesn't excel in any aspects but it is versatile enough to be a good choice for those looking for a basic monitor. Its flicker-free backlight also makes it comfortable to use for long periods of time.

The BenQ EL2870U is an excellent 4K monitor for console gaming and home entertainment. However, there are cheaper alternatives if you want an equally good or even better monitor for gaming or for watching movies, office work, etc.
