With major monitor manufacturers like Acer, ASUS, and Dell all tossing their hats into the ultrawide market over the past two years, competitors like LG have been steadily releasing a stream of high quality displays that rival some of the best in the business.
The Dell UltraSharp 24 Wireless Monitor uses the sometimes divisive Miracast technology to beam a signal from your Windows computer or Android device directly to your display, removing all the hassle and ugly organization of HDMI cables hanging off the back of your screen. But does removing a few wires make up for the slow performance and laggy input that we suffered through while the Dell chugged to keep up with the daily demands of our office?
The Acer Predator XB271HK is just one of three models that made our best 4K gaming monitors list for 2016- but what are the key components that really set it head and shoulders above the rest? Was it the imposing design, the endless settings choices, or its speedy performance when it came to all things gaming?
G-Sync vs FreeSync. Nvidia vs. AMD. A battle that feels like it’s been waged since the beginning of time, but in reality has only been going on since AMD purchased ATI back in 2006. Before then Nvidia was warring with ATI over which graphics card could squeeze out just a few more frames per second than the other, but this was long before either company even knew what the problem of “screen tearing” was, let alone how to solve it.
The words “Samsung” and “affordability” have rarely been found in the same sentence over the past few years, but now the company is looking to change that stigma with its latest 28″ UE590 4K gaming monitor. The Samsung UE590 comes with all the features that gamers want at a price that won’t bust your budget – earning it the number two spot on our best computer monitors for 2016 list – but will that low cost alone be enough to forgive its stagnant stand and smaller display size?
When it comes to PC gaming, there are few components that slip under the radar as often as the monitor. People will spend thousands on the latest CPU and graphics card, only to forget that the monitor is what makes your games really come alive.

The BenQ P-Seriese PV3200PT is an unapologetic monitor built for a very select, specific number of functions to help film editors, animators, and CAD/CAM designers get their job done in glorious 4K resolution. But with a desk-crunching weight of 33lbs and 32″ of screen real estate, is the BenQ PV3200PT too big for its britches (and your cubicle at the office)?
The Dell U2717D UltraSharp is the latest entry into one of the company’s longest running line of monitors, and this time it’s back with the company’s other patented screen-assist, InfinityEdge. The nearly bezel-less design gives the U2717D a sleeker, more futuristic look that not many other monitors can match, but will this be enough to carry it past its subpar response times and higher cost of entry?
As the ultrawide revolution in monitors continues to gain steam, displays like the LG 34UM88 are taking over the multi-monitor setups of yesterday and showing users a whole new way to interact with their digital world. Whether you’re a creative professional, a hardcore gamer, or just a dedicated film buff the number of reasons to broaden your horizons (and your aspect ratio) are growing every day. But is this latest entry from LG the right pick for you?
The ASUS MG28UQ 4K gaming monitor is a fast, highly-customizable display that offers many of the features that gamers crave whether they’re shooting up a storm in multiplayer or listlessly drifting through a vast RPG world on their own. But will the limitations of its refresh rate technology and lacking color accuracy be too much to justify the price of a ticket to entry?
The Predator lineup of gaming-focused products from Acer continues to grow, this time taking the form of the Predator XB1 ultra-performance gaming monitor that made it onto our annual best gaming monitor list. With a 2560 x 1440 pixel count and an eye-melting 165Hz refresh rate, the XB1 is down and out the fastest monitor we’ve ever tested – but will those specs be enough to make up for its shoddy menu system and lackluster 2W speakers?
The BenQ XL2730Z is a gaming monitor that’s here to reduce your input lag and increase your kill/death ratio while you’re battling it out in multiplayer mayhem online. But is its higher price worth the cost of the benefits it offers over traditional monitors or 4K setups in the same cost bracket?
You've probably seen co-workers or friends with a multi-screen setup before. These monitor layouts can be effective at displaying a lot of information at once, but they're also difficult to set up, and leave ugly bezels in the spaces between each screen.

The newest in what’s sure to be a long and storied lineup of budget 4K monitors by the end of 2015, AOC’s fresh U2868PQU 4K display is a screen that’s full of contradictions. The U2 (the shorthand we’ll be using for reference from now on, not to be confused with the Irish band), enters itself into the range of sub-$600 4K displays that are reducing the impact your wallet might feel from splurging on higher-end models, and joins the ranks of other enticing choices like Dell’s P2715Q and CTL’s X2800.
