What monitor do I buy?
After reviewing the basic aspects that you should take into account when choosing a monitor for video games, we are going with a small selection of screens to satisfy your most gamer side:
AOC Q3279VWFD8
The cheapest monitor on this list offers some interesting features for just $ 234. Perhaps the main one is its Quad HD resolution and a 1200: 1 contrast ratio. But not everything was going to be good news and somewhere it has to be cut back. In this case, the refresh rate goes to 70Hz and the response speed stays at 4ms, well below the rest of the equipment on this list.
Benq EL2870UE
This Benq offers us an acceptable size of 28 "and its resolution goes up to 4K and is compatible with HDR technology. We must also add FreeSync compatibility and all this without the price going beyond 300 euros. The largest downside is the refresh rate, which stays at 60Hz.
BenQ Zowie XL243
This Benq Full HD does go to the 144Hz refresh rate for just under 350 euros. It is a panel that the firm advertises for use in esports with different options that allow to regulate the brightness on the screen (up to 20 different levels) or a technology that allows to increase the brightness in the darkest areas without burning those that are already illuminated.
ASUS Tuf Gaming VG279Q
The Asus that, for 399 euros, offers us a large panel (27 ”) compatible with HDR technology (although it remains in Full HD resolution). The fact of being compatible with G-Sync technology is also one of those responsible for making it the most expensive on this list, although its refresh rate should not be overlooked, which amounts to 280Hz.
Dell S3220DGF
For value for money we are facing one of the best monitors that you can buy in this 2020. And it does not imply an excessive expense. You can get it for 498 euros, it has 31.5 "and Quad HD resolution, curved screen (if it is an advantage or a disadvantage we leave it to your choice) and a refresh rate of 165Hz. At this price it is obviously compatible with FreeSync.
Acer Predator
If budget is not a problem, we have a candy for you. This Acer stays just under a thousand euros and offers you 4K resolution in a 27 ”panel. It is compatible with G-Sync technology, HDR, has a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response speed. Everything you need to enjoy a gaming monitor during a good season.
