If you\u2019re in the market for a gaming monitor, then you might find yourself scratching your head. Why are certain displays so much more expensive than others? What do all of these resolutions mean for gaming? Let\u2019s try and demystify some of the tech-specs, so you can make the best possible choice for your needs and budget.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Native resolution<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Native resolution refers to the number of physical pixels on the screen. In most cases, monitors are 1920×1080, 2460×1440, 3840×2160, or, (if you\u2019re a maniac with deep pockets) 7680\u00d74320.  The larger the screen and the closer you\u2019re sitting to it, the more visible those individual pixels will be \u2013 for most gamers, 1440p strikes the right balance. Interestingly, <\/span>the most popular resolution<\/span><\/a> on Steam (by some distance) is still 1080p, with more than two-thirds of users still preferring it. A 4k gaming monitor is still niche, used by just 2% of gamers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will down-scaling a 4K monitor increase game FPS?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can look at the native resolution as a maximum. If you come across a demanding title, you can always downscale the resolution using the game\u2019s inbuilt resolution scaler. The more pixels you\u2019re pushing, the more horsepower you\u2019ll need, and the more VRAM you\u2019ll need to hold the <\/span>frame buffer<\/span>. The new 3090, for example, can deliver 8k thanks to its enormous 24GB ram complement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Size<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to sneer at those who value size above all other considerations. But the truth is that size really does matter, and having a bigger display can make just as big a difference as things like input lag. For most gamers, 27 inches is fine \u2013 but some might wish to go bigger. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why have a curved gaming monitor?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the last few years, it\u2019s become fashionable to play on a curved gaming monitor. But exactly what benefit does a monitor of this kind confer? Put simply, it more closely matches the shape of your eye. Since your cornea is curved, so too should be the display that you\u2019re looking at. That way, light coming from the sides of the screen arrives at roughly the same time as the light from the centre, and you\u2019ll be able to see more of the screen at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wide, wider, widest<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find monitors in a range of widths, with 16:9 being the standard, and 21:9 being even better. For certain kinds of games, like first-person shooters, ultrawide monitors really come into their own \u2013 but they command a higher price, and they\u2019re not for everyone. For most of us, 16:9 is the standard.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Response time<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s an inherent delay between a frame arriving at the monitor\u2019s input socket and it actually being displayed on the screen. This should be as low as possible, especially in fast-paced gaming sessions. You can expect a TN or VA panel to go all the way down to 1ms response time. More on those in a bit…<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refresh rates<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our last article about FPS<\/a>, we covered refresh rates in detail. In essence, the refresh rate refers to how many images are displayed in a second. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the display. Adaptive sync (Gsync for <\/span>Nvidia<\/span><\/a>, FreeSync for AMD, Variable Refresh Rate on a television) will synchronise the refresh rate to the incoming frames, making for a smoother image. Just make sure that you go for a technology that matches your GPU\u2019s manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Comparison of 144 Hz vs 60 Hz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Is a 75Hz monitor good for PC gaming?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

High-refresh rates are typically easier to achieve by sacrificing resolution \u2013 and so, you\u2019ll have to judge which is more important to you. Is it better to game at 1080p at 360hz, or at 8k at 60hz? The answer will depend on your hardware, and your personal taste \u2013 even if the amount of bits going down the DisplayPort cable is still the same. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re at 4k, then you\u2019ll find yourself capped at 60hz \u2013 the leap to 75hz might therefore be a significant one. If you\u2019re at 1440p, then a 144hz gaming monitor is likely to be a more reasonable target.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HDR<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

High-Dynamic Range is a fancy term for bright shining lights. Certain parts of your screen can be cranked up, while others are left dim, making for more gorgeous images. This is something that TVs, by and large, do better than gaming monitors. There are a few traps to fall into, here \u2013 the ability to accept an HDR signal is not quite the same as actually putting a beautiful image on the screen and not all HDR is created equal. Look for the amount of nits (that\u2019s maximum brightness) that the monitor is capable of when you\u2019re assessing your options.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Motion Blur Reduction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

High-end monitors provide a means of limiting the blur you\u2019ll get when objects move at speed in a gaming session. The most popular means of doing this is by reducing the amount of time each frame remains on screen, and turning off the backlight between frames \u2013 this provides better clarity at the cost of brightness. You might see this referred to as ULMB or Ultra Low Motion Blur.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead pixels<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monitors ship with millions of tiny lights. Occasionally, a few of them will arrive broken. Sometimes it\u2019ll stay on (a \u2018bright\u2019 dot), or it\u2019ll never come on at all (a \u2018dark\u2019 dot). Disaster! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or is it? When the pixel density is high enough, problems of this kind become nearly invisible unless you go looking for them \u2013 but you\u2019re still covered if you manage to find a specific number of them. <\/span>In the case of Asus<\/span> (and most other manufacturers), we\u2019re talking about three bright spots or five dark ones, out of several million. So, it\u2019s worth checking once and then not worrying about ever again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

IPS vs. VA vs. TN vs OLED<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When shopping for a new monitor, you\u2019ll be confronted by a whole world of acronyms. These refer to the fundamental technologies which power the monitor, each of which has its own advantages and downsides.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPS<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In-Plane-Switching monitors offer vibrant colours and look great at whichever angle you\u2019re viewing them from. They\u2019re a standard for many. However, they\u2019re marginally slower, and there\u2019s the possibility of backlight bleeding around the edges of the display, which might be a problem in dark scenes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TN<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Twisted Nematic\u2019 panels tend to offer the very best in terms of refresh rates and input lag. They\u2019re inexpensive, but don\u2019t hold all that well when you start moving your head to one side. E-sports players swear by them, as they\u2019re as responsive as it gets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

VA<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vertical Alignment panels strike a happy balance between the virtues of IPS and TN panels. They offer a marvellous picture, and they\u2019re quick enough for most gamers. If you\u2019re not sure of what you\u2019re going to be playing, or you know you\u2019ll be playing a variety of games, they\u2019re usually a safe bet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OLED<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

OLED displays offer unparalleled contrast and black levels. Since every pixel is its own light source, there\u2019s no backlight. That means that when a pixel is off, it\u2019s as black as if the display were off. The only problem is that, over time, OLED displays can \u2018burn-in\u2019 an image they\u2019re displaying over and over again. Not a problem if you\u2019re watching films; a big problem if you\u2019re on the Windows desktop for hours every day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about CRTs?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A trend in recent years is to forget all of these newfangled technologies and to instead go for an old CRT box instead. These eliminate many of the problems inherent in flat-panel technology, and they offer a silky-smooth gaming experience <\/span>that many swear by<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scour eBay and you\u2019ll find even 17-inch displays going for hundreds of pounds. These things weigh a ton, they\u2019re long out of warranty, and they\u2019re difficult to repair. In other words, if you\u2019re reading this article, you probably don\u2019t want one. On the other hand, if you have one sitting up in the attic, you might be pleased to learn that it\u2019s worth a few quid.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
