Top Monitors 2023

The ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV is a very good monitor for content creators. Its high pixel density results in sharp images and text, and there's plenty of screen space to have multiple windows opened at the same time. It has superb ergonomics, wide viewing angles, and it gets bright enough for use in any lighting conditions. Unfortunately, its contrast ratio and black uniformity are both mediocre, so blacks look more grayish. It has near full coverage of the sRGB color space; however, its Adobe RGB coverage is only decent.

Aside from cost, the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ has no flaws of consequence. It’s extremely capable for gaming, video, color-critical work and general tasks. And once you’ve experienced games at Ultra HD resolution and 144Hz, it’s hard to imagine playing any other way.

The Acer XV282K KV offers an immersive image quality thanks to its 4K UHD resolution and vibrant colors, while its quick response time and VRR support up to 144Hz ensure smooth gameplay performance.

The LG 27GN800 ensures a smooth gaming experience thanks to its low input lag, fast response time, and 144Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it supports variable refresh rate and backlight strobing for tear-free or blur-free fast-paced gameplay.

The LG 40WP95CU is a high-end 5K2K IPS ultrawide display for productivity work that offers plenty of premium and convenient features. While it is quite expensive, it’s worth the price if you can put its screen and features to good use.

The HP U28 is the perfect color-accurate monitor for anyone who can benefit from having dedicated picture modes for sRGB (both 6500K and 5000K), DCI-P3 and Rec.709 uses.

The Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9 delivers an amazing SDR and HDR gaming experience thanks to its high resolution, high refresh rate, VRR, fast response time, and 2048-zone mini LED FALD.

The LG 32GQ950 is an excellent 32″ 4K 144Hz IPS monitor for SDR content, gaming, color-critical work and everyday use. However, while some HDR scenes are great, others are underwhelming, so it’s not the best option for HDR content consumption at this price range.

The Acer XV272U offers both responsive performance and stunning image quality without compromises. Further, it has plenty of useful features, an ergonomic design and a reasonable price tag.

Alienware has brought the best display technology to the desktop with its AW3423DW. With infinite contrast and a huge color gamut, it boasts a stunning image with accurate color and no need for calibration. Gaming performance is superb with smooth motion processing and quick response. This monitor truly raises the bar.
