The LG IPS235V-BN, M2432D, IPS234V along with the Samsung S24B370HS and Asus VG23AH are some of the best monitors to consider when looking at the ideal gaming setup for your PC.<\/p>\n

For a gaming monitor, the most important thing to consider is the display\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

An integral point to look at is input lag, and more importantly, the response time. Response time is how long it takes for a monitor to change the colour of a pixel, and is indicated in milliseconds. You\u2019ll want a monitor that has the fastest response time \u2013 around 2ms-8ms is an acceptable response.<\/p>\n

This will help avoid the \u201cghosting\u201d effect that results in images leaving brief traces.<\/p>\n

Beyond the response time, you\u2019ll want a monitor that has a high contrast ratio and image processing engine, in order to create the most bright and vivid images without a hiccup.<\/p>\n

We also want to consider monitors that have HDMI inputs, as having a screen that would work with current-gen consoles and graphics cards is a huge plus.<\/p>\n

So, in terms of gaming, the following monitors have the stats and spec requirements that should do the job:<\/p>\n
