What to look for in the best PC monitors for gaming

1. Screen Size and Resolution

The size and resolution of your monitor can greatly impact your gaming experience. Larger screens provide an immersive experience but require higher resolutions for clear images. 1080p is standard, but 1440p or 4K provide sharper images.

2. Refresh Rate

A higher refresh rate provides smoother, tear-free gameplay. Look for a monitor with at least a 75 Hz refresh rate, but serious gamers may want 144 Hz or even 240 Hz.

3. Response Time

A lower response time reduces motion blur and ghosting effects. Anything under 5ms is suitable for gaming, but competitive gamers often prefer monitors with a 1ms response time.

4. Panel Technology

Different panel technologies offer different advantages. IPS panels provide better overall color reproduction and wider viewing angles, while TN panels have faster response times and are generally cheaper.
