Finding the best monitor for you can be a pain, there are so many options on the market right now, so it is hard to tell which one will be best for your needs.

We break down the top 12 monitors on the market this year based on price, performance, and the situations they’ll be used in.

So, if you are you’re looking for a flat or curved monitor, with a high refresh rate, a stunning resolution and an excellent response time for gaming, video editing, 3D modelling and more, we’ll have the perfect option for you. Now, let’s get insights.

1 Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T

Our pick for the best Monitor Overall for gaming, video editing and 3d modeling.

Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T

Pros

  • Quad HD 240 Hz VA panel.
  • Curvature that immerses the player
  • Image well calibrated by default.
  • Neat ergonomics.
  • FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility.

Cons

  • High power consumption.
  • Requires a very powerful graphics card to operate properly.

Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T is the best 240Hz gaming monitor we’ve tested so far. With a 1000R curvature, 27- and 32-inch screen, and a resolution of 2K, it’s ideal as a gaming monitor and for those looking for an exceptional experience.

The larger variant offers more space for better immersion, but keep in mind that both models are 1440p resolution, so images are less sharp on the larger one due to lower pixel density.

The 240 hertz refresh rate ensures smooth and crisp scenes, while the 1 millisecond response time and 2 milliseconds input lags make every movement and action in the game instant and realistic, without lag or ghost effect.

In terms of screen quality, its QLED technology and HDR600 deliver vivid colors, excellent contrast, and crisp detail, even in the darkest scenes. Since this is a VA panel, it’s a great solution for those who want to play competitively. Thanks to the Adaptive Sync feature, the Samsung display is compatible with both FreeSync and G-Sync.

The Samsung Odyssey G7 is also an excellent curved monitor for work, thanks to its eye protection with Flickerless and Eye Saver Mode systems. It provides adequate blue light protection so that your eyes don’t get tired, even after many hours in front of the screen.

2 Alienware 34 AW3423DW

Our pick for the best 34-inch Oled gaming monitor for the PC.

Alienware 34 AW3423DW

Pros

  • The infinite contrasts of the Oled;
  • Excellent calibration by default;
  • The best HDR on PC;
  • Very low latency;
  • Simple installation;
  • 3 years anti burn-in warranty.

Cons

  • No HDMI 2.1.

What this OLED panel can offer in either of its HDR modes, HDR 400 True Black or HDR Peak 1000, is simply outstanding. The image it produces is crisp and vibrant. In terms of gaming, this beast is capable of delivering 175 Hertz refresh rate and its response time is incredibly fast at 0.1 Millisecond.

Even games that are typically disappointing in terms of graphics like Call of Duty Warzone look great, thanks to the quantum dot enhanced saturation and fast response.

In addition to its OLED technology, the Alienware 34 AW3423DW also features Samsung’s new QD-LED technology, which combines the ideal RGB sub-pixel structure with the Quantum Dot technology to produce both excellent color saturation and an even brighter panel.

Alienware 34 AW3423DW - Back view

On top of that, Alienware boasts both an impressive 99.3 percent coverage of the demanding DCI-P3 color space, and a brightness of 1,000 nits. However, there is no HDMI 2.1 on this panel. So, it’s probably not the best solution for console gaming. It’s ideal for PC Gamer, and if you’re going to connect your PC to a high-end gaming monitor, we highly recommend the Alienware 34.

3 HP OMEN X Emperium 65

Our pick for the top monitor for the Living Room

HP OMEN X Emperium 65

Pros

  • Simple and sleek design;
  • Excellent SDR and HDR image contrast;
  • Built-in sound bar – excellent audio quality;
  • 144Hz G-SYNC with HDR10.

Cons

  • Not a good value for money.

Many monitors deserve to be at the top of the mountain, but by a small margin, it is the HP OMEN X Emperium 65 that takes the number 1 spot. The 65 in its name, it did not steal it, since it corresponds to the size of its screen, being 65 inches. Without a doubt, we can say that its purpose is clearly to replace your traditional TV.

Its MVA display offers a very good color rendering, not to mention HDR, with its luminance of up to 750 cd per sq meter. One of the big strengths of this monitor is all the NVIDIA technologies that the screen embeds, such as a high-quality G-Sync, but above all, the NVIDIA Shield TV 4K that is directly included in the device. The only flaws that can be found in such a high-end are a slightly high response time of 14 Millisecond, which is not so good for gaming.

Speaking of gaming, while this is not a monitor specifically designed for that purpose, it is FreeSync compatible for a smooth and enjoyable experience when playing PC games. Although it’s not a true HDR display, the Dell S3221QS does support this type of content, and by turning on the Gaming mode, you’ll still see improvements in image rendering.

The ergonomics of the Dell S3221QS are also more than good, with a solid base that supports both lifting and tilting of the display to better suit each user’s preferences. As far as connections go, there are three HDMI 2.0 ports on the back, a 1.2 DisplayPort, three USB ports, an audio jack and a pair of speakers.

Pros

  • Strong points;
  • only weighs 570 grams
  • Practical and stable stand;
  • Very light and thin;
  • Quality of design.

Cons

  • No touchscreen;
  • No battery.

With a 14-inch screen and a maximum resolution of Full HD, the Lenovo Thinkvision M14 is the best portable external monitor in terms of value for money. Its biggest advantage is its portability, thanks to its plastic design, which makes it ultra-light and very thin and it only weighs 570 grams.

Given its response time of 6 milliseconds, this portable monitor is more suitable for professional use and video editing, rather than for gaming.

The other strength of this portable monitor is the built-in adjustable stand that serves as a tripod. With it, you can customize the monitor with an angle from -5 to 90 degrees and the stand is retractable, which makes it possible to use it in a vertical position.

Lenovo Thinkvision M14 Top

The only shortcoming is the limited display customization settings; However, it is this very fact that makes it very intuitive and beautiful in terms of design.

8 LG 49WL95C

Our pick for the best 49-inch Curved Monitor.

LG 49WL95C

Pros

  • UltraWide Dual QHD 5120 x 1400 display at 60 Hz;
  • 1800R curved screen;

The LG 49WL95C monitor is a marvel of technology with a 1800R curved screen. Its size is exceptional and perfect as a monitor for work, gaming, video and graphics editing with a fully immersive feeling.

It is largely compatible with most devices, including the Mac and Ipad Pro, thanks to its USB-C output. However, if you have a Mac with Thunderbolt 3, you won’t be able to enjoy the full resolution when the USB-C output is engaged.

9 ViewSonic Elite XG270QG

ViewSonic Elite XG270QG

Pros

  • Amazing IPS panel.
  • Awesome image quality and speed.
  • Perfect balance between detail and performance.

Cons

  • Fairly expensive;
  • No HDR support.

The ViewSonic Elite XG270QG is the best 144Hz monitor with G-Sync. It is a 27-inch 1440p and 2k monitor, which is suitable for professional gamers who want a smooth gaming experience.

It has IPS display with wide viewing angles, the refresh rate can be overclocked up to 165 Hz, the response time and input lag are exceptionally low and it supports VRR technology to match the screen images to the video card.

ViewSonic Elite XG270QG - Back view

The monitor is capable of displaying vivid colors with good saturation and accuracy, but for optimal use, we recommend calibrating the screen when you purchase it, as the colors are not exceptionally accurate when you receive it. On the back of the screen, there is an RGB lighting system that can be customized via the screen’s menu. The monitor has built-in speakers, 3 USB ports, a blue light filter to protect your eyes from fatigue, and a good level of ergonomic adjustments to adapt the viewing angle to your preferred position.

10 Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A

Our pick of the best high-end gamer PC monitor

Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A

Pros

  • Image well calibrated by default.
  • Compatibility with HDMI 2.1 (4K/120 Hz and VRR).
  • The IPS panel is responsive.
  • FreeSync and G-Sync compatible.
  • Ergonomics ( Height, tilt and rotation adjustable stand).
  • Ultra HD native definition which is interesting for consoles.

Cons

  • OSD and controls not very practical;
  • Power consumption.

There are quite few monitors on the market at the moment that offer 4K definition with HDMI 2.1 support, and all of them are priced relatively high. Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A is an excellent compromise that will guarantee them a powerful, fluid and responsive display on every gaming platform!

Beyond these considerations, we should acknowledge that the TUF VG28 is a solid 4K UHD gaming monitor. Indeed, thanks to Asus’ technologies like ELMB Sync score well, the calibration is interesting and better than many other monitors we’ve seen so far, and also the pixel density with the slightly wider diagonal makes this TUF VG28 very enjoyable to use on a daily basis.

Finally, the support of HDMI 2.1 makes it ready for the years to come, but it is currently difficult to recommend such a display to console gamers. Why is that? The number of games that can be run in 4K at 120 fps on consoles is quite low, the lack of VRR on the PS5 at the moment, and perhaps the price as well, even if the comparison is delicate, when you know that it is possible to acquire an OLED TV with 4K at 120 Hz for a slightly higher price.

11 Samsung Odyssey Neo G9

Our pick for the best 49-inch and 4K UHD monitor for gaming.

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9

Pros

  • Many connectivity options including HDMI 2.1;
  • The bluffing mini-LED;
  • Two REAL screens in one;
  • Superb color and contrast;
  • FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC compatible.

Cons

  • Huge dimensions.

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is an updated version of the company’s massive curved gaming monitor: The odyssey Neo G7. With a brightness of up to 2,000 nits, a refresh rate of 240 hertz and a response time of 1 millisecond, it’s simply excellent for gaming and video editing.

The screen has an extremely aggressive 1000R curve, which offers a much more immersive gaming experience, but it may take some time to get used to it. Its 5120 by 1440 resolution and 32 over 9 aspect ratio is equivalent to placing two 27-inch, 1440p monitors next to each other, giving you enough space for multitasking or playing atmospheric games. It supports FreeSync natively and is certified by NVIDIA as G-SYNC compliant, ensuring a nearly tear-free gaming experience from almost any source.

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Back

The input lag is incredibly low and it has a fast response time of 1 millisecond, which translates into very clear motion, but there are noticeable reverse ghosting images behind fast moving objects.

Even more, Its VA panel has an excellent native contrast ratio, and the good local dimming functionality deepens the blacks further, better than most monitors we tested, and it is absolutely of the best gaming monitors on the market today.

12 Samsung Odyssey Ark

Samsung Odyssey Ark

Pros

  • Equipped with a Neural Quantum Processor;
  • image refresh rate of 165 hz;
  • equipped with a “cockpit” mode;
  • AMD FreeSync compatible;
  • striking visuals.

Cons

  • Expensive.

The Samsung Odyssey Ark was designed for gamers who are looking for the best on the market at the moment.

All the technologies embedded in this 55-inch screen are at the service of the image quality for an outstanding rendering. Equipped with a Neural Quantum Processor Ultra chip, an image refresh rate of 165 hz and a response time of only 1 millisecond, games like Counter-Strike or Valorant will be sublimated.

It also features the HDR 10+ technology which adapts automatically and in real time to games, to reveal a maximum amount of detail.

It is also equipped with a “cockpit” mode, which consists of switching the screen into portrait mode. Thanks to it, the screen becomes curved so as to fully encompass your peripheral vision to give you the impression of being in the game.

Today, you can actually get a really good laptop for less than $500 today. But, an awesome laptop for the latest games and video-photo-editing software will cost around $5000.

Below, we synopsis the best laptops.

1 Best overall: Dell XPS 13

Dell xps 13

The Dell XPS line is absolutely iconic and stands out among Windows laptops. The latest Dell XPS 13 is no exception, carrying the legacy of Dell’s ultra-compact laptops with tiny bezels all around the display. It’s one of the most compact laptops you can buy today, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have enough power.

The latest generation Dell XPS 13 comes with Intel Core 11th generation processors, all the way to the Intel Core i7-1185G7, which means it has Iris Xe graphics. These are, of course, the best processors that Intel has made so far, and the integrated Iris Xe graphics mean that you can run many games on this laptop. Plus, it’s incredibly lightweight. Additionally, you get up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage, so you won’t be short on performance. The Dell XPS 13’s display is very modern.

2 ASUS ZenBook 13 ultra-slim laptop

Asus zenbook 13

The ZenBook 13 is lightweight and ultra-slim, making it easier to carry. This masterpiece has a 13.3-inch Full HD wide-view display that offers accurate color from about a 178-degree wide-angle. The screen has a 100% sRGB color gamut which means it can display more accurate and vibrant colors than a standard display. In addition to this, the ZenBook 13 has a backlit keyboard which is great for working in low light or dark places.

The ASUS ZenBook 13 has an 8th generation 1.6 GHz i5-8250U processor by Intel along with a turbo to a maximum of 3.4 GHz and 8 GB RAM. ZenBook 13 is packed with 256 GB SSD, which is faster than a regular HDD drive. Moreover, it improves the system boot time plus loads the apps faster. All hardware configurations are combined in a 0.5 ultra-thin profile that weighs just 2.5 kg. This Dell’s computer has a fast-charging system that charges 60% battery within 49 minutes. In addition, it has a 50Wh lithium-polymer battery that provides a maximum of fourteen hours of long-lasting battery backup.

3 Acer Concept D 7 Pro

Acer Concept D7 Pro

This laptop is suitable for graphics -video- Designers and other creative professionals. They don’t just want a Windows-based notebook, but a real mobile workstation. Models like the Concept D 7 Pro come with a powerful graphics card and processor as well as a large, high-quality, high-resolution screen. It is certainly the best computer for those who need maximum performance.

The different versions of the Concept D 7 Pro are equipped with the latest Quadro RTX graphics cards optimized for professional software. Installed in the recommended variant, the RTX 5000 offers 16GB of video memory, twice as much as the gamer’s RTX 2080 Super. It also features a 10th-generation 8-core Core i7 and 4K display with a top-notch IPS matrix which has an excellent color reproduction. The laptop has an impressive number of available connectors, including USB-C and HDMI 2.0, and it supports Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6.

4 HP Elite Dragonfly

The HP Elite Dragonfly weighs less than 1 kilogram and has a screen that you flip open 360 degrees. So, this laptop works in four positions: as a laptop, ‘tent,’ tablet, or presentation screen. The narrow edges contribute to the slim appearance of this laptop. You can hold the Dragonfly in tablet mode with one hand without any problems. Two sturdy aluminum screen hinges provide a stable x360 mechanism. The USB-c power supply is also remarkably light and compact and perfectly usable to also charge your smartphone on the go.

The cheapest variant features a 13.3inch screen (1920 × 1080, ips), Intel Core i5, and 256GB SSD, but there are also more expensive variants with Core i7, 1 TB of storage, and 4K screens with a built-in privacy option that ensures bystanders cannot see the screen content. Additionally, an active stylus is included. With it, you write and draw smoothly on the screen, which features a Wacom AES digitizer. The backlit ‘chicklet’ keyboard is spill-proof. The wifi module is wifi 6 ready. The HP Long Life battery recharges to fifty percent within thirty minutes. Fully charged, the battery lasts a full working day with normal office use.

5 Razer Book 13

Razor book 13

Razer demonstrates that it can do more than just build nice gaming computers. This luxurious Intel Evo-branded notebook is top-notch and offers a versatile and programmable keyboard. It’s built on Intel’s Evo platform, which means it has the latest-generation Intel Core i7 mobile processor and Intel’s much-improved Iris Xe graphics. Razer features a 16GB of fast internal memory and a really fast SSD driver of 256GB. There’s a model with a 512GB SSD, but it costs more and has a 4k screen instead of full HD, like our tested model.

Performance-wise, this is in the same league as, say, a new Dell XPS 13 or the Acer Swift 5 we recently tested. The platform more or less keeps pace with the Apple M1 and AMD Ryzen 7 computers. The Razer Book 13 is made of light, matte aluminum with right angles, relatively sharp edges, and weighs in at 1.4 kilos. The advantage of a thicker design is that Razer doesn’t have to compromise on external ports. There’s room for dual thunderbolt 4 ports, a traditional USB 3 type A, full-size HDMI port, and a micro-sd card reader.

6 HP Envy X360 13

The HP Envy X360 13 is a sturdily built 13-inch notebook with matte metal surfaces in warm gray tones. Weighing in at 1.3 kilos and a folded thickness of 1.5 centimeters, it’s not exceptionally light, but it’s not exactly a beast either.

HP Envy X360 13

As the name suggests, it’s a 360-degree folding model with the entire screen surface covered in black glass. That means we find its power switch on the side, but it doesn’t have a separate volume control like some foldable computers. The touch screen and the ability to lay it down on a table and take notes with its included pen is obviously a plus.

The key features: 512MB Radeon Graphics card, 256GB PCIe NVME SSD, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.0, Microsoft Windows Home, 13.3-inch, 1,920×1,080-pixel IPS touchscreen, 8GB DDR4 RAM.

7 Microsoft Surface Pro 7

Microsoft Surface Pro 7

Microsoft’s Surface Pro 7 is a laptop designed to do jobs of all kinds. Like all other surfaces, we are faced with a hybrid touchscreen laptop that we can use as a tablet and as a computer with a desktop operating system, Windows 10, in this case.

Inside, this surface laptop has an i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and SSD hard drive, 128GB input model, which assures us that practically everything we do, we will do it fluently. As a tablet, it has a good 12.3-inch screen (2736×1824) and components of all kinds, like cameras (8MP the main one and 5MP the one for selfies).

8 Lenovo Chromebook

Lenovo Chromebook

Lenovo’s Chromebook is clearly one of the most affordable options to “get with computing” for those who don’t want to spend all day in front of a screen and still get good value for money. This is a model that can do all the everyday things like Skyping, banking, and surfing the web with the same quality as much more expensive machines.

The Lenovo laptop has a fast 64GB flash memory that makes it quick to boot. The processor is a good Intel® Celeron® 5205U. No speed wonder but for the money more than acceptable. The screen is at 60Hz and comes in full HD resolution in 16:9 format with 10-point multi-touch. The Battery life is good for the standard as it lasts up to 10 hours depending on workload. Moreover, the computer comes with: 2 x USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 compatible with DisplayPort & Power Delivery 2.0, Webcam, Microphone, HD audio, Bluetooth 5.0, and a memory card reader. There is also a built-in Google Security H1 Chip. The model’s weight stays at a pleasantly portable 1.35 kg. Overall, a really good choice of laptop in the lower price range.

9 Asus Rog Zephyrus

Asus Rog Zephyrus

The Asus Rog Zephyrus is an ultra-thin laptop. It is suitable for those looking for a stylish, slim gaming computer that’s easy to carry around. Despite its compact build, it maxes out performance without burning out the computer. Asus Rog Zephyrus’s chassis opens up at the back when you open the screen. This makes the computer extremely thin when folded up – for a gaming computer – and at the same time gives it a nice low angle when you fold the screen up. The build quality is otherwise very good. The whole build feels solid and stable. The frame around the Zephyrus’s screen is very thin. The screen itself is a bright story with a very fast response time. Furthermore, it is really sharp and has a nice color range.

The performance of this laptop is top-notch. You will have no problem playing the latest pc games or using the latest version of the video and photo editing software like Adobe premiere pro, Adobe Photoshop, or Davinci Resolve. It’s simply phenomenal when it comes to performance. At the same time, it’s really quiet and relatively cool, even under a heavy load. Once the fans are running at full blast, there is some noise, but it is not the characteristic noisy sound that many computers suffer from; it has a less disturbing soundscape.

The key features: 14-inches display, AMD Ryzen 9-4900 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 HSGPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD Storage, and weight 3.5 pounds.

10 Google Pixelbook Go

Google Pixelbook Go

Who’s the Chromebook for? It’s a great solution for students or travelers. Unlike similarly priced Windows models, it offers a lightweight body and good battery life. Also, if you can pay more, you can get a Pixelbook Go with a 4K display as a multimedia device. The performance of the model with an Intel Core m3 processor is not impressive, but it still manages to cope with dozens of open tabs in the browser. If you want a more powerful version, you will have to pay extra – the Core i5 or i7 versions are quite expensive.

Another characteristic feature of the device is a small amount of storage. This is due to the fact that Chromebooks were originally designed to work with Google services, including cloud storage, where users’ files are posted. It has a bright Full HD screen and responsive touchpad. The silent keyboard is backlit and good for typing. Unfortunately, the Chromebook does not support the latest connectivity standards, being limited to the still current but not advanced Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2. There are three USB-C ports and a headphone or microphone jack.

11 Huawei MateBook D 14

Huawei MateBook D 14

This amazing laptop by Huawei features an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor with a Radeon RX Vega 8 graphics module. The Huawei MateBook D 14 non-touch 14inch screen (1920 × 1080, ips) has thin bezels of just 4.8 mm on three sides, adding to its slim appearance. The screen can be laid completely flat if necessary.

The 720p webcam is not located in the screen border but is a pop-up type that is invisibly hidden in the top row of function keys between the F6 and F7 keys. The camera jumps up when you press it, and only then is it active. Another handy gadget is the placement of the fingerprint sensor: it is integrated into the round power button located in the upper right corner next to the keyboard. This way, you can safely turn on the laptop with one push of a button and log in at the same time.
