  • What's the best deal? Gamers especially can keep an eye out for monitors with a 144Hz refresh rate at FHD (opens in new tab) (1920 x 1080) at at least 27 inches for $200 or under. Also look out for 60Hz displays at 4K (opens in new tab)/UHD (opens in new tab) (3840 x 2160) for $250 or less. 
  • What size? You can save money with a display measuring 23-24-inches, but 27-inch monitors are the current mainstream size. If you’re looking for something 'bigger,' 32 inches or more is plenty. However, keep in mind that those monitors call for QHD (opens in new tab)(2560 x 1440) resolution or higher in order to avoid having pixels that are so large you can see them individually. 
  • What resolution? These days, you probably won't find a monitor with lower resolution than FHD. For a notable jump in sharpness and detail, opt for QHD, and for the ultimate image quality, go for 4K. 
  • What refresh rate? Higher is better for gaming. Hardcore gamers should opt for 120Hz or higher, combined with the lowest response time available. More casual gamers can make do with 75Hz or even 60Hz coupled with G-Sync (opens in new tab)or FreeSync (opens in new tab).  
  • Get recommendations. We're always reviewing PC monitors, so you can count on our breakdown of the Best Gaming Monitors (opens in new tab) and Best 4K Gaming Monitors (opens in new tab) to find a list of the best ones out now.
