8 best monitors to jazz up your PC
These display options stand
for ideal specifications and technology, without the need to break the bank
Considering the niche
audience conventional PCs maintain to day, there has been a rise in extravagant
displays complete with exploratory technologies. Adaptive synchronisation and
high refresh rates have inhabited the market, while 4K screens make it possible
to embrace the technical prowess of the best graphics. Here's a list of the
best monitors money can buy today.
ACER PREDATOR X34
Cinematic monitors are a
great alternative to their 4K counterparts for gaming. In fact, you might say
they are even better due to their ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio. The Acer
Predator X34 certainly looks the part, featuring an eye-catching aluminium
bezel and angular, crow's footshape stand.
VIEWSONIC VP2772
With a 2560x1440
resolution, the Viewsonic VP2772 won't dazzle as much as some other lavish 4K
screens, but what it lacks in pixels, it excels in colour accuracy. Featuring a
palette of 1.07 billion colours and gray scales, covering 99 per cent of the
Adobe RGB space, it is both sharp and vibrant.
ACER S277HK
With a 1,000,000,000:1
contrast ratio, a colour gamut of 1.07 billion and a resolution of 3840x2160,
the Acer S277HK is good to look at. Unfortunately, because of the way Acer
designed it, you can't mount it onto a wall for everyone to appreciate. If you
prioritise high pixel density, reasonable cost and `zero frame' over
malleability, this is a monitor to shoot for.
ASUS MG248Q
If your PC can't afford
1440p or 4K video, the Asus MG248Q is the next best thing. Despite exhibiting a
mere 1080p twisted-nematic (TN-panel), rather than IPS, the Asus MG248Q makes
up for any shortcomings with fast response times and adaptive sync.Adaptive
sync reduces screen tearing if you have an AMD graphics card.
SAMSUNG UD970
A 4K display that's
calibrated for great colour accuracy and image quality, the Samsung UD970 is
ideal for designers, CADCAM engineers and videographers who aren't put off by
the highprice tag. The matte finish adds to its appeal by giving it a
glare-reducing face. Samsung also includes Picture By Picture (PBP) support on
the UD970, for multi-tasking scenarios.
PHILIPS BRILLIANCE BDM3490UC
The Brilliance BDM3490UC
should be your top pick if you're looking to watch movies or work from home.
Its IPS display is bright and inviting. The 21:9 curved display can be a bit
disorienting if you're accustomed to flat screen displays. Still, this one
takes the cake for gaming. Notably absent, though, are both G-Sync and
FreeSync.
AOC AGON AG352UCG
The Agon AG352UCG has a lot
in common with the Philips Brilliance monitor. For one, they both share the
same 21:9 aspect ratio paired with a resolution of 3440x1440. The main
advantage this monitor has is G-Sync, meaning if you're sporting an Nvidia
graphics card, you don't have to worry about screen tearing inhibiting your video.
LG 34UC79G
The LG 34UC79G features a
sharp, black matte design with ominous red lighting that will match your
RGB-backlight peripherals. Rather than packing the 34UC79G with unnecessary
pixels and going all the way up to 1440p, LG has kept the resolution to a
sensible 2540x1080, which gives you 33 per cent more pixels on the screen
compared to 16:9 .
