I've been reviewing gaming monitors for years, and I still see buyers make the same mistakes when shopping for a new display. Here's what to avoid.
Tracking down the best gaming monitors is no simple task. As you can see from how we test gaming monitors, it involves a lot more than throwing a display on a desk and playing a couple of games. And even after years of reviewing them, I still see some common mistakes buyers make when shopping for a new gaming monitor.
I’m not saying you should ignore resolution, but you should always consider it in the context of your screen size. How many pixels are you getting for the resolution, and how large are those pixels given the screen size? In simpler terms, how many Pixels Per Inch are you looking at with your monitor?
You want a monitor that will compliment your build and allow it to shine. This most commonly comes up in the resolution of your display. Maybe you went all-out on an RTX 4080, but that means continuing to use a 1080p display. In that case, you won’t get the full power of the GPU. Not only are you forcing it to a resolution it isn’t built for, but you could also run into a CPU bottleneck due to how powerful the GPU is.
The problem is that there is no standard for listing these specs. Each brand can decide how they want to measure and advertise their specs, so it’s hard to compare one display to another. Maybe the Odyssey Neo G8 can reach 2,000 nits of peak brightness, but maybe that’s for a single pixel for one second. That’s not the same as the brightness the monitor can reach for 3% of the screen after five minutes.
That’s what to look for if you want HDR, but don’t need HDR. It’s better to have a solid SDR display than a mediocre HDR one, and a good HDR experience generally costs a lot of money. Again, most displays support HDR. You should just know how different that experience can be so you’re not disappointed.
