How to Choose a Gaming Monitor
See our learning section for answers to any questions you have about monitor size, resolution, and specifications.
Best Rated Gaming Monitors By Size:
If you're ready to look, then see our list of the best 27,24,22,19 inch, and 3d PC gaming monitors broken down by category below.
Our choice for the top 27 inch gaming monitor is also the successor to the world's first 1ms response time 27 inch monitor, theViewsonic VX2739WM. The Viewsonic VX2753MH-LED also carries a 1 ms response time and is designed with perfect image reproduction, gamers, and movie enthusiasts in mind. Another plus is that it includes 2 HDMI and a VGA connectors so you can plug multiple devices in at once. You can use the on screen display to switch from one to another. If you need a DVI connector simply purchase a HDMI to DVI cable.
Picture
In trying out the VX2753MH-LED it was everything we heard it would be. The first thing that you notice is how truly large this monitor is. If you have never tried out a 27 inch monitor, then the difference will be dramatic. Viewsonic also has a 24 inch version of this monitor, theVX2453MH-LED which is more affordable and practical for an office setting or those who simply don't want this large of a monitor. Viewsonic has also improved the LED backlight technology in this model and as a result we saw no noticeable bleed from any angle. We also noticed deeper blacks as a result of new technology which allows each LED to completely shut off.
Overall the picture is smooth and brilliantly detailed with Viewsonic's 1ms response time technology, 30,000,000:1, dynamic contrast ratio, and full HD 1920x1080 resolution.
Built-in Speakers
The monitor speakers come with SRS Premium Sound and are convenient but certainly won't provide the surround sound that you're used to with your headphones. For those who like to mount their PC monitor or use a display stand, this monitor is also 200mm x 100mm VESA compliant.
Bookstand
Another really neat feature for the Viewsonic VX2753MH-LED is that it has a bookstand option which allows you to remove the main stand and lean the monitor back. Viewsonic has also taken much of the weight out (only 10.4 pounds) of this monitor and made it super slim so you can easily take it with you to your next meeting or your LAN party.
Warranty
The VX2753MH-LED comes with a full warranty that includes Viewsonic's pixel performance guarantee which is one of the best in the business. While some manufacturer's have specifications and requirements for returning your monitor for a dead or stuck pixel with Viewsonic you get the best pixel return policy available.

Our choice for best 22 inch monitor is the Samsung PX2370 23-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor with LED Backlight. The PX2370 boasts an ultra fast response time of 2ms and a dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 leaving you with bright blur and ghost free picture while gaming or watching movies. The PX2370 also uses LED backlighting and typical power consumption is only 25 watts! We also love that it has both a DVI and HDMI connectors. Last but not least, with a 3 year parts and labor warranty from the manufacturer you know you are getting a quality product from Samsung.
There are few 19 inch monitors made specifically for "gaming" and most likely if you are purchasing a 19-20 inch monitor, then you'll end up with one that has a 5ms response time. The 19 inch monitor that really stands out this year is the Viewsonic VX924. We like that ASUS has made this energy inefficient LED monitor affordable for anyone. Nearly 70% of consumers polled on the various sites we have checked have given the Viewsonic VX924 5 stars. Includes a DVI connector. While this monitor doesn't have "everything" it's definitely the best bang for your buck in this price range. If you are looking for a better response time, then consider the Samsung p2050.
Cons - No HDMI Connection.
Many gamers still believe that 3d gaming is somewhat of a novelty. Luckily, it's a novelty you can turn off whenever you want. Although it may not be practical to game all day long in 3d, computers monitors built specifically for 3d viewing also function well in 2d mode. Most new monitors that are made for 3d viewing have a super fast refresh rate of 120hz.
This new 27 inch monitor from Asus (Acer HN274H BMIIID) is every gamer's dream and one I've been waiting on for a long time. It offers blur-free motion with a 2ms response time and 120 hertz refresh rate and the picture is incredible with 1920 x 1080 full high definition resolution and Acer's new adaptive contrast management of 100 million to 1.
Overall: This large display is the only 27 inch 3D LED monitor available at this point and it does not disappoint! While it may seem expensive it's in the right range for a monitor of this specifications that includes the nVidia 3D Vision Kit. I also like the various connectivity options with D-Sub, DVI, and HDMI x 3 and that it's VESA compliant so you can easily mount it on your wall.

Productivity501.com states that productivity for working can increase up to 52% for workers who use a larger monitor peaking at up to 24 inches. That benefit then continues to decline as monitors increase in size beyond 24 inches.
With gaming our guess is that it works much of the same way. If you have a monitor that is too large from where you are sitting, then seeing everything becomes much more difficult. To counteract this gamers may decide to move farther away from their monitors to play or possibly even just use a portion of their screens.
To max your playability make sure to take into account the position of your chair and where the monitor is going to be. If you tend to sit close, then we recommend a monitor no larger than 24 inches. If you like to sit back, then consider one that is up to 27 inches.
Response Time
Typically, game enthusiasts will look for a monitor that has a quick response time. The response time is the time that it takes a pixel to go from black to white and back again. On any computer monitor this is measured in ms or milliseconds. The faster the response time the less blurring and ghosting users will experience during action packet sequences. A good gaming, entertainment, or video editing monitor should have a response time under 3ms. More casual computer users should consider any monitor with a response time of 5ms or less.
Refresh Rate
While various gamers experience different levels of eye strain while using their computer for long periods of time, one thing known to relieve some of the problem is by having a monitor with a high refresh rate. The refresh rate on a monitor is basically the amount of times that the hardware draws information from a source. Even low end computer monitors have a higher refresh rate, then many of the better monitors in years past. PC monitors go as high as 120hz while some newer HDTVs go up to 240hz. A good 3D-ready monitor will have a 120hz refresh rate.
Full High Definition or 1080P
Many computer monitors (as well as HDTVs) still only go up to 720p. For Full High Definition choose a gaming monitor that is 1080p. If you can't afford it, then consider purchasing a 720p monitor that has a high contrast ratio.
Contrast Ratio
Contrast ratio measures the darkest color that a monitor can produce (blackest black) vs. the lightest color (whitest white). In general the higher the contrast ratio, the better the color. Because various manufacturer's define how they label their contrast ratio differently (static vs. dynamic etc...), we recommend you read consumer reviews in order to get a better understanding of your monitors color output.
LED Vs. LCD
There are some pretty complicated descriptions and definitions of the difference between an LED and LCD monitor. The only real difference is in the type of back lighting and energy they use. LED monitors use LED (light emitting diode) technology for back lighting which consumes up to 40% less energy. Gaming and entertainment viewing tend to be less strenuous on the eyes with an LED monitor. In addition, LED monitors do not require mercury in their production. Since LED monitors are newer, have more options, use less power, and are less strenuous on your eyes than LCD monitors you should look to purchase an LED monitor if you can afford it.
Signal Input
Consider what type of signal input you want to use with your computer before purchasing your monitor. The most common inputs are DVI-D, HDMI, and VGA.
3D Capability
Wikipedia defines 3D Capability as "any display device capable of conveying a stereoscopic perception of 3-D depth to the viewer". While technically many monitors could produce a 3D image, various monitors have been built specifically for 3-D viewing and gaming. Any monitor built for 3D viewing can also be viewed in normal 2D format. See below for top 5 3d monitors for 2011.
Other Computer "Monitor" Terms
Consider the horizontal and vertical viewing angle as well as the power consumption of your monitor when making your purchase. Similarly sized computer monitors can use as little as 28 watts all the way up to 70+ watts. In the long-term you'll be better off sticking with a monitor that consumes less power.

Full High Definition or 1080P
Many computer monitors (as well as HDTVs) still only go up to 720p. For Full High Definition choose a gaming monitor that is 1080p. If you can't afford it, then consider purchasing a 720p monitor that has a high contrast ratio.
Contrast Ratio
Contrast ratio measures the darkest color that a monitor can produce (blackest black) vs. the lightest color (whitest white). In general the higher the contrast ratio, the better the color. Because various manufacturer's define how they label their contrast ratio differently (static vs. dynamic etc...), we recommend you read consumer reviews in order to get a better understanding of your monitors color output.
LED Vs. LCD
There are some pretty complicated descriptions and definitions of the difference between an LED and LCD monitor. The only real difference is in the type of back lighting and energy they use. LED monitors use LED (light emitting diode) technology for back lighting which consumes up to 40% less energy. Gaming and entertainment viewing tend to be less strenuous on the eyes with an LED monitor. In addition, LED monitors do not require mercury in their production. Since LED monitors are newer, have more options, use less power, and are less strenuous on your eyes than LCD monitors you should look to purchase an LED monitor if you can afford it.
Signal Input
Consider what type of signal input you want to use with your computer before purchasing your monitor. The most common inputs are DVI-D, HDMI, and VGA.
3D Capability
Wikipedia defines 3D Capability as "any display device capable of conveying a stereoscopic perception of 3-D depth to the viewer". While technically many monitors could produce a 3D image, various monitors have been built specifically for 3-D viewing and gaming. Any monitor built for 3D viewing can also be viewed in normal 2D format. See below for top 5 3d monitors for 2011.
Other Computer "Monitor" Terms
Consider the horizontal and vertical viewing angle as well as the power consumption of your monitor when making your purchase. Similarly sized computer monitors can use as little as 28 watts all the way up to 70+ watts. In the long-term you'll be better off sticking with a monitor that consumes less power.
