Question 1

What are the most important features of gaming monitors?

Accepted Answer

Gaming monitors have some of the longest spec sheets among all gaming peripherals. Arguably, the most important feature of a gaming monitor is their refresh rate. A higher refresh rate, such as 144Hz or 240Hz, ensures smoother gameplay by displaying more frames per second. Following that, response time is crucial to minimize motion blur and ghosting effects, especially in fast-paced games. Some gamers also prefer curved monitors for enhanced immersion, while resolution and size are essential for sharp visuals and an immersive gaming experience. These factors collectively contribute to the overall gaming experience, making them key considerations when choosing a gaming monitor.

Question 2

What refresh rate is best for my PC?

Accepted Answer

It’s essential to assess your PC’s performance to determine an appropriate refresh rate. The most important factor is knowing your PC’s limitations. If you think that your PC can handle 1080p gaming at 90 FPS, it makes sense to go beyond a regular 60hz monitor and upgrade to a 120hz. If your PC can’t consistently give you above 120 FPS, it is very difficult to recommend a 240hz monitor. To make an informed decision, try to find some benchmarks for your GPU to understand how much frame rate you can expect in different games to help you pick the most sensible refresh rate for your gaming needs.

Question 3

What response time is best?

Accepted Answer

When determining the ideal response time for your gaming monitor, several factors come into play. Response time is an indication of how fast your pixels respond to color change, which is different from refresh rate. A monitor with a relatively low response time (in gaming real) of 5ms, will show slight ghosting in fast-paced titles, regardless of framerate.  For most gamers, especially for competitive esports and fast-action games, response times of 1 or 2 milliseconds are great for gaming monitors, and anything below is exceptional. However, it’s important to remember that the significance of response time can vary depending on the type of games you play. Ultimately, the best response time for your monitor will depend on your gaming preferences and the types of games you frequently play. In most cases, a response time of 1ms to 5ms should suffice for an enjoyable gaming experience, but competitive gamers may lean toward the lower end of that range.
