How to choose a gaming monitor
Refresh rate and your PC. A 240 Hz monitor only helps if your system can produce those frames. Match the monitor to your GPU and the games you play.
Panel type. TN panels are fast and cheap but have weaker colors. IPS balances speed and image quality. OLED is the fastest and most vivid but priciest.
Resolution and size. 24-25” at 1080p is the esports standard. 27” at 1440p is the popular all-rounder.
FAQ
What refresh rate do I need for competitive gaming?
144 Hz is the baseline, and 240 Hz and higher help in fast shooters, as long as your PC can reach those frame rates.
OLED or IPS for gaming?
OLED has near-instant response and perfect blacks but costs more and can suffer burn-in. Fast IPS panels are a safer all-rounder.
