FAQs
-
What features are important in a gaming monitor?
Whether you're a casual weekend gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, quality gaming experiences are built on advanced computer hardware. Along with CPU performance and advanced GPU capabilities, gaming monitors need to meet certain specifications.
When shopping for a gaming monitor PC, it's important to think about the screen technology, the resolution, the refresh rate, the sync capabilities, the colour depth, and the price. There is often a trade-off between these elements, so it's important to prioritise the things that are important to you.
-
What refresh rate do I need for gaming?
For competitive gaming, aim for at least 144Hz - you'll see noticeably smoother motion than on a standard 60Hz gaming PC screen, which matters in fast-paced games. If you're playing at a high level in FPS titles, 240Hz or higher is worth considering. For casual or single-player gaming, 60Hz to 75Hz is often enough.
-
What monitor size is preferred by gamers?
Computer game lovers are a diverse group with different needs. Monitors range from 21 inches to 49 inches, and the right size depends on how far you sit and what you're playing. A few common setups:
- 24–27 inch: the sweet spot for competitive gaming and desk setups with close sitting distances
- 32 inch: popular for immersive single-player titles, especially at 1440p or 4K
- 34–49 inch ultrawide: excellent for sim racing, strategy, and productivity alongside gaming
When buying a gaming monitor on sale, think about the relationship between size and resolution. 1080p, 1440p and 4K are all popular, but at larger sizes, lower resolutions can look soft up close.
-
Can a gaming PC monitor be used for general computing?
Gaming monitors are standard in most ways, and they are more than capable of being used for personal and business computing. In fact, some people choose to purchase gaming monitors for visually demanding tasks such as graphic design, animation, and photo editing. That being said, many of the features included on a PC gaming monitor are not needed for regular computing tasks, including the ultra-high refresh rates featured on many gaming screens. If you want to purchase a general-use monitor that can also be used for gaming, IPS panels generally produce better colour accuracy and viewing angles at 60 Hz or lower.
-
What is the difference between IPS, VA and TN panels?
TN panels have the fastest response times but weaker colour and viewing angles. IPS panels produce better colour accuracy and wider viewing angles, making them a solid choice for most gaming monitor PC builds. VA panels offer better contrast ratios than IPS but slower pixel response at the extremes. Most modern gaming monitors use IPS or fast IPS variants.
-
What should I look for in a cheap gaming monitor?
You don't need to spend a lot to get a solid experience. When looking at budget gaming monitor options, prioritise:
- At least 144Hz refresh rate
- 1080p resolution at minimum (1440p if budget allows)
- 1ms response time or close to it
- FreeSync or G-Sync compatibility to cut down screen tear
