The gaming experience is unique because it's intended for competitive gamers with its fast refresh rate, so it's great if you can take advantage of it. However, it also has a higher 360Hz refresh rate, meaning this monitor is ideal if you like playing high-frame-rate games and you don't mind a lower resolution to not put much stress on the graphics card.
G SYNC MONITOR 1080P
It's a great monitor with a lower 1080p resolution and a smaller screen compared to the ViewSonic, which is the trade-off you have to make for getting a cheaper monitor. It, unfortunately, doesn't support HDR either, but as most monitors, except for the Dell Alienware AW3423DW, don't look good in HDR anyways, that doesn't make much of a difference.Īlthough budget G-SYNC monitors are hard to find and aren't as cheap as other budget gaming monitors, you can still find a few G-SYNC monitors that cost less than the ViewSonic Elite XG270QG, like the ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN.
G SYNC MONITOR FULL
You need a DisplayPort connection to take full advantage of this monitor because it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate and doesn't support VRR over HDMI. It still provides excellent gaming performance with remarkable motion handling and low input lag, especially with high frame rates, for a smooth and responsive gaming experience. It isn't ideal if you have a high-end NVIDIA graphics card that can hit the 240Hz refresh rate on the ASUS without problem, but if you have an older graphics card that struggles to hit high frame rates at 1440p, it's worth going for a lower refresh rate monitor. It shares the same 27-inch, 1440p screen as the ASUS, but the trade-off for getting something cheaper is that it has a lower 165Hz refresh rate. If you're looking for a cheaper monitor than the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QM that has the same 1440p resolution, check out the ViewSonic Elite XG270QG. While you don't get the same dark room performance as the AW3423DW, it's still a good choice to use with a few lights around as it gets bright and has good reflection handling, so visibility isn't a problem in a well-lit room. This monitor also offers a few NVIDIA proprietary features like the Reflex Latency Analyzer, which measures the latency of your entire setup. It also has very low input lag, ensuring your actions are in-sync with the action on-screen. Its fast 240Hz refresh rate results in superb motion handling, with an excellent response time at any refresh rate, resulting in extremely clear motion with no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. The benefit of getting the 1440p resolution is that it gives crisp images and sharp detail while gaming and isn't too taxing on your graphics card. It's a 27-inch, 1440p monitor with impressive gaming performance. If you find the Dell Alienware AW3423DW too expensive and don't care about the best picture quality or don't want an ultrawide display, the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QM is a cheaper option you can get in the mid-range category. It also has a 175Hz refresh rate that you can achieve over a DisplayPort connection, and like many native G-SYNC monitors, you can use its G-SYNC VRR support either through DisplayPort or HDMI connections. In terms of gaming performance, it has a near-instantaneous response time that results in minimal motion blur behind fast-moving objects, and it has low enough input lag for a responsive gaming experience. It also displays a wide range of colors and gets bright for a satisfying HDR experience if you play HDR games.

It has a 3440x1440 resolution and a 34-inch screen, and it delivers exceptional picture quality as it has a QD-OLED panel with perfect black levels in black rooms, but it doesn't look as good in bright rooms because the black levels raise.

It's an ultrawide display, which provides an advantage if you play atmospheric or FPS games, as you can see more of your screen at once. It's an excellent gaming monitor with a ton of features, and while it's starting to become more available at various retailers, it's best to buy it directly through Dell's website. The Dell Alienware AW3423DW is the best G-SYNC monitor that we've tested.
