When we talk about gaming monitors, the most important factors to consider are refresh rate and response time. Depending on your hardware and the type of games you like to play, pick whatever resolution fits you the best, be it 1080p, 1440p or 2160p. Another aspect of consideration is the size, whether you should go for a standard aspect ratio or an ultrawide monitor. Here are some of the best gaming monitors to help you make a purchase:
