Top Monitors 2023

The HP Pavilion 27Q is a decent monitor for mixed usage. It is more suitable for brighter rooms as it can get bright and can handle reflections well. In darker rooms, blacks will look grayish. It has a low input lag and supports FreeSync to please casual gamers. Its resolution and size are good for almost any usage.

The Dell P3418HW is a feature-packed curved ultra-wide monitor that performs respectably, but its 34-inch screen begs for a higher resolution.

The LG 34UC89G-B gaming monitor uses G-Sync technology and speedy refresh rates to deliver solid performance on a huge curved 34-inch screen.

The Alienware Gaming Monitor is one of the most gorgeous gaming displays around, but you pay a high premium for the fancy looks.

Lenovo's L27q is a nice-looking, reasonably priced In-Plane Switching (IPS) monitor that offers wide viewing angles and good grayscale performance.

Unless you need the extra speed and adaptive-refresh offered by a gaming monitor, or the wide gamut of a professional screen, the BDM3270 is an ideal product. Its prodigious size will demand a greater space commitment on your desk, but once you see that stunning image with its super accurate color and tremendous dynamic range, we think you’ll find a way to make room. Simply unpack, turn on, and set brightness to taste and you’ll see a picture that’s better than that of many premium displays. We just might be keeping this one around after the review is finished!

The perfect display has yet to cross our doorstep and the Z35 certainly has some flaws. But it presents a beautiful saturated image and will make your games look incredible if you pick the right set of options. In the lofty world of premium gaming monitors, it offers a unique set of qualities that may appeal to users looking for something different.

Every curved display we’ve reviewed so far offers a slightly different package. For all-around use and casual gaming, the HP Envy 34c is a good choice and its contrast is better than almost any monitor you can name. We hope prices will drop in the future but for now users with generous budgets may choose this moment to go for the curve.

The AOC E1659Fwu is an affordable 15.6-inch portable USB 3.0 monitor that lets you take your multi-screen setup on the road. Its color accuracy is off, but it delivers a sharp picture and is easy to tote around.

The Acer R240HY is a gorgeous thin-bezel monitor with 1080p resolution, great image quality, and outstanding performance – all that at a reasonable (MSRP) price makes it one of the best selling monitors.
