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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• Practical and stable stand;
• Very light and thin;
• Quality of design.

Cons

• No touchscreen;

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.

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.

9 ViewSonic Elite XG270QG

Pros

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

Cons

• Fairly expensive;
• No HDR support.

10 Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A

Our pick of the best high-end gamer PC monitor

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

Pros

• Many connectivity options including HDMI 2.1;

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.

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.

• equipped with a “cockpit” mode;
• AMD FreeSync compatible;

Cons

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.

As it is the case for the Galaxy A73, the M53 5G is a cutting-edge Mobile innovation hidden in a beautiful design and a 5G network. It features the most advanced technology and practical features on the market now (Super AMOLED Plus display, FHD+ resolution, 108MP main camera, Fast charging, etc.) in a minimalist design that’s pleasing for your hands and your eyes.

If you want to learn more about the Samsung Galaxy M53 5G review continue reading.

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G Review – Pros and Cons

Pros

• 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, FHD+ (2400×1080 pixels), 120Hz refresh, AOD function;
• 6GB RAM | RAM Plus upto 6GB |128GB internal memory expandable up to 1TB / 8GB RAM | RAM Plus upto 8GB |128GB internal memory expandable up to 1TB

• One UI 4.1 interface.

Cons

• No stereo speakers;
• No jack ports.

Samsung Galaxy m53 5G Design & Display

Like most of Samsung’s mid-range models, the Samsung M53 is visually outstanding. The phone is available in two colors: blue and green, each with a matte back. The Samsung M53’s is made of plastic, measures 164.7 x 77 x 7.4 millimeters, and weighs 176 grams (Extremely lightweight, and you can easily hold it in one hand). Thanks to it’s biometrical feature, you can unlock it via the fingerprint sensor (located on the power button) or the front-facing camera.

The 6.7-inch AMOLED display makes it one of the larger devices. We think the secret weapon of the outstanding display of this phone is its “Super AMOLED Plus.” Indeed, thanks to it, a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (density of 392 pixels per inch) and its refresh rate of 120 hertz, your images, videos, texts are displayed smoothly, the contrast is almost perfect and the blacks are finer. Unfortunately, there is no charger in the box.

The screen is also equipped with Gorilla Glass 5 protection, which protects the phone from accidental drops (small objects falling on the phone, dropping the phone itself, sleeping on the phone by accident). Like many other users, we don’t like the much the unavailability of the HDR10 playback on Amazon Prime. And we hope that Samsung’s next updates will offer us this useful feature.

The back of the phone has a minimalist design with a stunning Samsung logo. Like the volume buttons, the power button is placed on the side and contains the fast fingerprint scanner. Like many users, we are not thrilled by the fact that this smartphone comes without a headphone jack, and although this offers some advantage (Low price, improved waterproofing, a better IPS in General) it remains a drawback. But overall, we love the elegant and minimalist design of the Samsung Galaxy M53 5G.

The Cameras

On the back, the Samsung Galaxy M53 5G is equipped with a quad-camera setup with a main camera resolution of 108 megapixels. It is supplemented by an ultra-wide-angle camera as well as a depth and macro camera, which are supposed to enable creative and high-resolution pictures. The front-facing camera takes high-resolution selfies with 32 megapixels and has a wide-angle lens for a group selfie function.

This camera combination shows us that the Korean giant has considerably improved its digital photography technology, as evidenced by this smartphone. We loved the photos taken in full daylight with its 108MP main camera: details are sharp in all areas. We also love the 108MP UHD mode it features. It delivers a maximum photo resolution without increasing the size of the pictures.

Amazing performance

Instead of relying on an in-house processor like in the Galaxy A53 5G, the Galaxy M53 5G uses the MediaTek Dimensity 900 that can easily handle all your daily tasks (calls, messages, photos, browsing, playing your favorite games, multitasking, and more). Moreover, like the Exynos 1280, the MediaTek Dimensity 900 relies on two fast Cortex-A78 and six efficient Cortex-A55 cores and achieves the same clock rates as the chip in the Galaxy A53 5G.

The Galaxy M53 5G is available with

• 6 GB RAM and 128 GB expandable storage
• 8 GB RAM and 128 GB expandable storage

However, in terms of performance, we feel that the phone is not very suitable for heavy operations that require a lot of resources (graphics, processor).

We love the phone’s Operating system and interface. The Samsung Galaxy m53 5G run on Android v12.0, One UI 4 operating system, and like all mid-range smartphones, it comes with pre-installed apps. You can easily disable/uninstall them in the configurations. We cannot talk about the performance of this smartphone without mentioning the wonders its One Ul. Featuring amazing features like the ability to protect your sensitive folders, smart widgets, assisted photo and video shooting, a beautiful dark mode, and many more. The bad news is that this phone has mono speakers instead of stereo speakers like most smartphones we are used to. But it is amazingly loud and the sound quality is excellent.

Security

The Galaxy M53 5G features the Samsung Knox security platform, which has been integrated into both the hardware and software of the device. Thanks to it, your phone is safeguarded from the moment you turn it on for the first time, and thanks to this technology, a multi-level protection prevents malware and other advanced security threats from making unwanted changes. You can also benefit from the Secure Folders to store private files like photos and videos, word documents, pdf, apps and data.

Connectivity

And as the name already reveals, the smartphone supports the current mobile standard 5G. Thanks to 5G connectivity, the Galaxy M53 5G offers a fast access to the Internet – large files download, gaming via cloud services or live streaming are easily achievable. The Hybrid SIM slot accommodates with either two nano-SIM cards or a microSD card for one nano-SIM for memory expansion of up to 1 Terabyte. Furthermore, the connectivity standards include WiFi 5 (ac, dual band), Bluetooth 5.2, NFC and navigation via A-GPS, Galileo, QZSS, etc.

Battery

The performance of the battery is also outstanding. As in the Galaxy M52 5G, a 5,000 mAh battery is used. As Samsung says, the smartphone can last up to 19 hours while playing videos continuously. Another great advantage of this is the quick charging feature. Indeed, thanks to the 25-watt fast-charging function, only two hours is needed to recharge the battery (100%).

Conclusion.

Samsung’s M series models offer an excellent value for money (Better than the A series, and the Samsung Galaxy M53 5G is the perfect example. It is cheap, powerful, has an excellent 108MP main camera and offers security features that we love. It is better than most phones in this price range and it is an excellent phone for your daily activities. You get amazing performance while using apps.

But if you are looking for a phone to play heavy games, take and edit photos and videos, then the Samsung Galaxy M53 5G is definitely not for you.

So, let us get started!!!

1. Samsung Galaxy S21

This piece of art is Samsung’s top model for 2022, which arrived in January. The phone is equipped with Samsung’s own Exynos 2100 chip, which makes it extremely fast. The screen is 6.8 inches, and it has an IP68 rating. Performance is maxed out, and the 5000mAh (The capacity of batteries is indicated as XXXX mAh (milliampere/hour)) battery lasts a long time, even with intensive use.

When it comes to the camera, this is a phone that takes very high-quality pictures, and it is Samsung’s best camera yet! The Samsung Galaxy S21 has four cameras on the back and one on the front. The main sensors are:

• 108 megapixels

2. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note ultra

For years, the pinnacle of capabilities offered by Android smartphones was Samsung’s Note series. Successive models raised the bar higher and higher in terms of build quality, performance, and the multitude of features offered, especially aimed at professional users such as businessmen or artists. The Note 20 series is the culmination of this development. The smaller model has a 6.7-inch screen and a triple camera with a 64 mega pixel primary sensor. The larger one is 6.9 inches and a quadruple module with a 108-megapixel eye, respectively.

The Note’s main standout feature is the phone’s retractable stylus, with the help of which you can take handwritten notes that are automatically changed to text. It can also control phone functions from a distance, becoming a camera trigger or presentation remote. Despite its use, the phones are IP 68 certified for water and dust resistance. An additional DEX mode on the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra turns your smartphone into a real laptop when connected (also wirelessly) to a monitor or TV. The Note 20 is powered by the Samsung Exynos 990 and/or Snapdragon 865+ processor. Thanks to 8 or 12 GB of fast RAM, the difference is imperceptible. Both models offer a Super AMOLED screen.

3. Xiaomi Mi 11

The Mi 11 is the flagship product of the Chinese manufacturer, featuring a triple camera with a main sensor of up to 108 megapixels and the ability to record 8K videos. The AMOLED screen features WQHD+ quality at 6.81 inches and a 120 Hz refresh rate. A powerful octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor provides 5G network support and unparalleled performance in any application. 8GB of RAM also helps in maintaining multiple apps and browser tabs.

Compared to the previous generation, this time, the manufacturer decided to reduce the number of cameras on the back, but instead, two additional sensors offer higher quality photos. The screen has been improved, with rounded corners making it easier to firmly grip the device, and also slightly curved on all four sides, giving the impression of being much more expensive than it really is. At the same time, the construction uses the highest quality materials, such as aluminum and Victus Gorilla Glass. At a reasonable price, noticeably lower than flagship phones of other brands, it offers the most efficient processor on the market, combined with plenty of RAM. In terms of cameras and materials used, it also matches more expensive rivals.

The most important features of the Xiaomi Mi 11 are Sensational value for money, state-of-the-art Snapdragon 888 processor, excellent main camera 108 megapixels, and fast charging 55 W.

4. The Sony Xperia 1 II

Let’s start by mentioning its OLED screen. With a length of 6.5 inches, it allows you to enjoy a 4K UHD definition. However, this is hardly noticeable on a smartphone screen. It would probably have been better to opt for a refresh rate higher than 60 Hz. On the other hand, we appreciate its high level of contrast combined with its intense brightness, ideal for use in direct sunlight.

In its entrails, this 5G smartphone contains a Snapdragon 865 SoC associated with 8 GB of RAM. A combination that offers power, fluidity, and speed in all contexts (multitasking, navigation, gaming …). Regarding the photo part, it embeds three back modules of 12 megapixels, including a wide-angle, an ultra-wide-angle, and a telephoto. Despite good renderings overall, this Xperia 1 II lacks features to assist photography, such as a night mode or a hybrid zoom. Note that videographers will be able to use it to shoot in 4K.

5. Google Pixel 5

If you like compact phones, the Google Pixel 5 should please you. It is equipped with a beautiful 5.81-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 90 Hz for a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels. The brightness and colors are mastered, which offers a good readability. The ergonomics are well thought out, making it easy to hold. The back, made of glass, hosts the photo block but no fingerprint sensor.

With its 8 GB of RAM, its Snapdragon 765G SoC, the Google Pixel 5 is able to run any application without encountering any problem. The fluidity and speed are there. The same goes for the gaming part: games do not suffer from any latency. You can play for several hours without difficulty, especially since the autonomy has been improved compared to the Google Pixel 4, thanks to a battery of 4080mAh. The photo part is the big strength of this model. Its main sensor of 12.2 MP and seconded by a 16 MP sensor can make the best shots of the market and in any conditions. The portrait mode is amazing, and the software processing is extremely well mastered. Difficult to do better, even for the competition!

6. OnePlus 8 Pro

The OnePlus 8 Pro is a smartphone for those who are looking for an Android phone with something extra. According to tests, it has one of the best screens on the market right now. It has a 6.78 QHD Fluid AMOLED screen with 120 Hz that provides a very good user experience.

The screen’s content is also clearly visible in direct sunlight, and the color display has 65 times more colors than previous versions of the phone. It is a thin phone at only 8.5 millimeters and a lightweight of 199 grams. The OnePlus 8 Pro has four cameras on the back to cover all your photography and filming needs. The main camera is 48 MP with a Sony sensor, wide-angle and 3x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom. Thanks to OIS and EIS, you can shoot in 4K and get razor-sharp clips.

According to reviews, it’s not the best mobile camera on the market, but definitely one of the best in its price range. The phone has a long battery life and fast charging – and you can charge it wirelessly. It supports 5G and wifi 6, the next generation of wifi technology. It has an IP68 rating to protect it from splashes.

7. Huawei P40 Pro

Huawei smartphones have suffered from the ban on cooperation with American companies, but this does not mean that they are a bad choice. The P40 Pro stands out first and foremost for its camera system consisting of three lenses on the back (with the main 50 Mega Pixel supporting the now legendary night mode) and two on the front. In addition, it offers a 6.58-inch OLED screen.

The Huawei P40 Pro uses a proprietary octa-core Hisilicon Kirin 990 processor to run, and at the time of its launch in 2019, it was the most powerful unit on the market. It was also the first to offer 5G support and additional features related to artificial intelligence. It learns both user habits and object and scene recognition in shooting mode. By doing so, it is able to improve user efficiency by, for example, pre-loading apps even before you open them.

The Huawei P40 Pro shows how apparent problems can be turned into successes. The US embargo resulted in the creation of its own app shop and services independent of Google. The proprietary processor developed for several years still provides high performance, especially in combination with up to 8 GB RAM. At the same time, the jewel in the crown remains the camera system, which is one of the best choices for a fan of mobile photography.

9. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2

Z Fold 2 is the Benchmark of a completely new trend in the world of smartphones. This is because the Z Fold 2 offers two screens, including a flexible one that folds in half. The external display is a 6.2-inch AMOLED with a resolution of 816 by 2260 pixels.

The smartphone can operate in closed, bent at any angle, and fully open mode, offering the ability to split the workspace between apps.

10. Google Pixel 6 Pro

The Pixel 5 was Amazing, but it was definitely not the best smartphone by Google. But this time, Google really tried and delighted us with the new Pixel 6 Pro. Its main triple-camera system has completely upgraded the hardware: the main 25-millimeter wide-angle camera has a 50-megapixel 1/1.31 sensor, omnidirectional autofocus with phase detection, laser autofocus, and OIS. For a broader perspective, there’s also a 12-megapixel 17-millimeter ultra-wide-angle module.

But perhaps the most impressive sensor on the Pixel 6 Pro is its new periscopic zoom camera. It uses a 48-megapixel sensor with an f/3.5 aperture, a 104mm focal length lens, and a telephoto module to provide about a 4x zoom. The sensor itself is tiny, at 1/2 inch, but thanks to Google’s OIS-compatible software know-how, it’s still a great addition to the phone and really makes the 6 Pro a worthy choice over the regular Pixel 6.

Key Features: 6.7-inch OLED Screen, Resolution and refresh rate of 1440×3120 and 120 Hz respectively, 12 GB RAM, 128 GB storage, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor.
