00:00These are the five best gaming monitors that you can get today. The Alienware AW2525HM is one of
00:06the fastest budget gaming displays that you can get for around $200. This 25 inch 1080p monitor
00:12has a 320 hertz refresh rate and a 0.05 millisecond response time. Its 1080p resolution might seem low
00:20but it does mean that your PC can get those higher frame rates a lot more easily. This also supports
00:25HDR which is pretty rare for budget monitors and has better color accuracy than much of the
00:30competition at this price point. Our new best overall pick goes to the ASUS ROG Swift 34 inch
00:37OLED for its balance of size, speed, and display quality. It uses a next-gen 360 hertz OLED curve
00:44panel that provides improved text clarity and reduced color fringing. That curve also gives you
00:49added immersion and a productivity boost without taking up much more desk space than a 27 inch
00:54monitor. Its 3k resolution isn't quite as sharp as 4k but just like our budget pick it's easier to hit
01:00those higher frame rates. Now if you think 1440p is the sweet spot for gaming then you need to check
01:05out the Alienware AW2725D. This is a 27 inch 280 hertz 2k OLED monitor. Vivid colors, excellent contrast,
01:15and gets very bright. If you've never had the chance to play your games on an OLED this monitor is
01:21a
01:21fantastic starting point. For fans of desk console gaming there's the MSI MPG321URXW. This is our pick
01:30for 4k gaming. It uses a 31.5 inch 240 hertz QD OLED and is one of the sleekest monitors
01:37I've ever tested
01:38with a very thin panel on the side. You can connect up to four devices at the same time, two
01:43of which
01:44being consoles over HDMI. And because of its 16 by 9 aspect ratio you won't have those black bars when
01:50you're
01:50playing your console games like you would with an ultrawide monitor. And since you're going to be
01:54playing your games on a desk much closer than a tv its 4k resolution looks even sharper. Now if you're
02:00after the ultimate immersion and productivity check out the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 5SD. This 49 inch
02:08240 hertz ultrawide has a 32 by 9 aspect ratio and a crazy 1800R curve that provides one of the
02:16most
02:16immersive single monitor gaming experiences that you can get today. It's like having two 27 inch 16
02:23by 9 monitors side by side without the annoying bezel in the middle. It's great for sim racing,
02:28multitasking, or using two inputs at once. It also has integrated RGB backlighting which can be
02:34programmed to match what's happening on screen which can give you that extra bit of color immersion. It even
02:40has Wi-Fi, a remote controller, and a ton of built-in streaming apps making this basically a curved smart
02:46TV too. But let me know which monitor you're gaming on right now and if there are any models that
02:51I
02:51want you to watch this test for next time.
