            Getting the best gaming experience possible isn’t just about your computer’s specs anymore. It’s equally important to have a great monitor designed for gaming. One of the most important aspects of a good gaming monitor is the refresh rate because the higher it is, the smoother the motion appears. That said, even though monitors with even higher refresh rates are growing in popularity, 144Hz remains a popular choice because it’s easier on the graphics card. You can get 144Hz monitors in different resolutions too, including 4k if your graphics card can handle that.

            Note: While you can get higher refresh rate monitors and simply set the refresh rate to 144Hz, for this article we only consider monitors with a native 144Hz refresh rate.

            We’ve bought and tested over 250 monitors, and below are our picks for the best ones that are available for purchase. See our recommendations for the best 1440p 144Hz monitors, the best 4k 144Hz monitors, and if you want a higher refresh rate, the best 240Hz monitors.

              The best 144Hz monitor we’ve tested is the Gigabyte M32U. It’s an excellent overall gaming monitor with a large 32-inch screen and 4k resolution that delivers an incredibly immersive gaming experience. It’s a great choice if you want to see a lot of detail while playing games, but you need to ensure you have a high-end graphics card that supports 4k @ 144Hz gaming. Motion looks smooth thanks to its incredibly fast response time at any frame rate, and it has low input lag for a responsive feel. It also has native FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support to reduce screen tearing, and it’s G-SYNC compatible.

              It has a few features to improve your gaming experience, like the ability to add a virtual crosshair that your system won’t detect. It has a black equalizer feature to adjust the gamma so that you can see opponents better in dark games. It also has a dashboard that shows your computer info, like the fan speeds, memory usage, and CPU and GPU temperatures. If you find the 32-inch screen too big, there’s also a 28-inch model available, the Gigabyte M28U, which is essentially the same monitor but with worse ergonomics.

              If you want something a bit cheaper in the upper mid-range price category, consider the Gigabyte M32UC. As you can tell by the name, it’s very similar to the Gigabyte M32U, with the main difference being their panel types. While the M32U has wide viewing angles thanks to its IPS panel, the M32UC has a higher contrast ratio thanks to its VA panel. It means it’s a better choice for dark room gaming as blacks appear deeper, but it doesn’t have a local dimming feature to further improve the contrast. There are a few drawbacks to this panel type, though, as it has worse motion handling than the M32U because there’s black smearing.

              Other than that, it’s very similar to the M32U because it has low input lag, FreeSync VRR support, G-SYNC compatibility, and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth if you want to use it for console gaming. It has the same extra gaming features and has a USB hub that makes it easy to connect to other devices or charge them. While it looks good in dark rooms, it’s also a great choice if you want to use it in bright rooms, as it has good reflection handling and excellent SDR peak brightness.

              You can get high-end 144Hz monitors with a 4k resolution if you don’t mind spending a bit more, like with the Gigabyte M32UC, but if you aren’t chasing a high resolution and prefer saving money, the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ is an impressive mid-range choice. While its 1440p resolution doesn’t deliver sharp images like on the Gigabyte, it’s also easier on your graphics card, and you don’t need a high-end graphics card to game with it. Although its native refresh rate is 144Hz, you can also overclock it to 170Hz with a DisplayPort connection, and both FreeSync and G-SYNC VRR work on it.

              Its response time is excellent with high and low frame rates, so motion looks smooth even if the frame rate of your game drops. It also has low input lag with high-frame-rate signals and remains low even when the frame rate of your game drops. It has a few extra features, like a USB hub that lets you connect your peripherals, freeing up some ports on your PC, and its stand features excellent ergonomics, making it easy to place in an ideal viewing position.

              If you want to save even more money, there are a few budget-friendly monitors too. The LG 27GN800-B is a 27-inch gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution like the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ. While it costs less and has impressive gaming performance, you’re sacrificing a few features you would get with the ASUS, like a USB hub and an ergonomic stand. However, if you don’t care about those, the LG offers great gaming performance as it has native FreeSync VRR support with G-SYNC compatibility. It also has a quick response time across its entire refresh rate range and has low input lag for a responsive feel while gaming.

              It’s a good choice if you want to game with it in a room with a few lights around because it gets bright enough to fight glare and has great reflection handling, so visibility isn’t a problem. It also has a flicker-free backlight that reduces eye strain during long gaming sessions, and it has the option to introduce flicker, which is known as backlight strobing, to reduce persistence blur, but it only works within a narrow range.

              If you just want a simple and cheap 144Hz monitor, something like the HP X24ih is a great choice. There are a few trade-offs for getting a cheaper monitor, and in this case, it has a lower resolution and smaller screen than the LG 27GN800-B, so you see less of your game, and images don’t look as sharp. Still, the image clarity is decent and offers a great gaming experience. What makes this monitor better than other cheap displays is that the motion handling is incredible thanks to its fast response time, and while it doesn’t have a backlight strobing feature to reduce persistence blur, you likely won’t need one.

              It has VRR support to reduce screen tearing and has low input lag across its entire refresh rate range for a responsive gaming experience. It’s also a well-built display with okay ergonomics, but you can’t swivel it if you need to turn the screen to show someone else. Luckily, it has wide viewing angles that make the image remain consistent from the sides.

            What Is a G-Sync Monitor? Nvidia G-Sync Explained

            You’ve come to the right place if you’re wondering what is G-Sync. In short, Nvidia G-Sync is a type of display technology used in certain PC monitors, gaming laptops and TVs to fight screen tearing, stuttering and juddering, especially during fast-paced games or video. G-Sync only works when the display is connected to a system using a compatible Nvidia graphics card (including third-party branded ones). So if you don’t yet have a compatible card, be sure to check out our graphics card buying guide, as well as our in-depth comparison of the features of AMD and Nvidia GPUs. And if you’re after a portable G-Sync experience, check out our Gaming Laptop Buying Guide.

            Nvidia introduced G-Sync in 2013, and its biggest rival is AMD FreeSync. But the answer to «what is G-Sync is getting increasingly complex. There are now three tiers of G-Sync: G-Sync, G-Sync Ultimate and G-Sync Compatible.

            What is G-Sync? We’re here to help.  (Image credit: Nvidia)

            Screen tearing is an unwelcome effect on the image (see photo above). It’s the result of the game’s framerate (the rate at which image frames display) not matching the monitor’s refresh rate (the frequency at which a display’s image redraws).  G-Sync displays have a variable refresh rate (also known as VRR or a dynamic refresh rate) and can sync its minimum and maximum refresh rates with the framerate of the system’s Nvidia graphics card. That refresh rate range can go as high as the monitor’s maximum refresh rate. This way, you see images right when they’re rendered, while also fighting input lag or delays between when you move your mouse (for recommendations, see our Best Gaming Mouse article) and when the cursor actually moves.  

            Check out Nvidia’s video below for an idea of what G-Sync looks like:

            G-Sync vs. FreeSync

            FreeSync  is AMD’s answer to G-Sync, and both use VESA’s Adaptive-Sync protocol . Just like you need an Nvidia graphics card to use G-Sync, you need an AMD graphics card to use FreeSync. 

            There are some key differences. One of the standouts is that FreeSync work over HDMI and DisplayPort, (which also works over USB Type-C), but G-Sync only works with DisplayPort, unless you’re using a G-Sync Compatible TV (more on that below). However, Nvidia has said that it’s working on changing this. For more on the two ports and which is best for gaming, see our DisplayPort vs. HDMI analysis. 

            In terms of performance, our testing has shown minute differences between the two. For an in-depth look at the variances in performance, check out our G-Sync vs. FreeSync article and see the results. 

            While both G-Sync and FreeSync are based on Adaptive-Sync, G-Sync and G-Sync Ultimate also require usage of a proprietary Nvidia chip. Monitor vendors are required to buy this in place of the scaler they’d typically buy if they want their display certified for G-Sync or G-Sync Ultimate. FreeSync, on the other hand, is an open standard, and FreeSync monitors are generally cheaper than G-Sync or G-Sync Ultimate ones. However, G-Sync Compatible monitors don’t require this chip and many FreeSync monitors are also G-Sync Compatible. 

            G-Sync vs. G-Sync Ultimate vs. G-Sync Compatible

            G-Sync hardware module (Image credit: Nvidia)

            G-Sync comes in three different flavors. G-Sync is the standard, G-Sync Ultimate targets those with HDR content and G-Sync Compatible is the lowest-priced form, since it doesn’t require display makers to incorporate/buy Nvidia’s hardware. Many G-Sync Compatible displays are also FreeSync-certified.

            G-Sync G-Sync Ultimate G-Sync Compatible
            Validated for artifact-free performance Validated for artifact-free performance Validated for artifact-free performance
            Certified with over 300 tests Certified with over 300 tests
            Certified for 1,000 nits brightness with HDR

            Here you can find a list of every G-Sync, G-Sync Ultimate and G-Sync Compatible monitor .

            G-Sync Ultimate

            A monitor’s G-Sync also works with HDR  content, but things will look better if that monitor has G-Sync Ultimate, formerly called G-Sync HDR (for HDR recommendations, check out our article on how to pick the best HDR monitor ). 

            Unlike regular G-Sync, Nvidia certifies G-Sync Ultimate displays for ultra-low latency, multi-zone backlights, DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, 1,000 nits max brightness with HDR video or games and to run at its highest refresh rate at its max resolution — all thanks to «advanced» Nvidia G-Sync processors. Keep in mind these displays are typically BFGD (big format gaming displays) and, therefore, on the pricier end. 

            What You Need Run G-Sync or G-Sync Ultimate

            To use a G-Sync monitor with a desktop gaming PC , you need:

            • Windows 10 , 8 or 7.1
            • An GTX 650 Ti Boost graphics card or higher (for help picking a GPU, see our graphics card buying guide )
            • DisplayPort 1. 2 directly from the graphics card
            • Driver R340.52 or higher

            To use a G-Sync monitor with a laptop, you need: 

            • Windows 10, 8.1 or 7
            • A GTX 980M, 970M, 965M or higher graphics card
            • DisplayPort 1.2 directly from the graphics card
            • Driver R340.52 or higher

            To use a G-Sync Ultimate monitor with a desktop PC, you need: 

            • WIndows 10
            • GTX 1050 or higher graphics card
            • DisplayPort 1.4 directly from the graphics card
            • Driver R396 GA2 or higher

            To use a G-Sync Ultimate monitor with a laptop, you need:

            • Windows 10
            • GTX 1050 or higher graphics card
            • DisplayPort 1.4 directly from the graphics card
            • Driver R396 GA2 or higher

            G-Sync Compatible

            In 2019, Nvidia started testing and approving specific displays, including ones with other types of Adaptive-Sync technology, like FreeSync, to run G-Sync. These monitors are called G-Sync Compatible. Confirmed by our own testing, G-Sync Compatible displays can successfully run G-Sync with the proper driver and a few caveats even though they don’t have the same chips as a G-Sync or G-Sync Ultimate display. 

            Some things Nvidia confirms you can’t do with G-Sync Compatible displays compared to regular G-Sync displays are ultra low motion blur, overclocking and variable overdrive. 

            You can find the full list of G-Sync Compatible monitors at the bottom of Nvidia’s webpage .  

            We’ve also found that numerous FreeSync monitors can run G-Sync Compatibility even though they’re not certified to do so. To learn how to run G-Sync Compatibility, see our step-by-step instructions for how to run G-Sync on a FreeSync monitor , which includes details on the small number of limitations you’ll face. And for what Nvidia and monitor makers think about running G-Sync on non-certified monitors, check out article Should You Care if Your Monitor Is Certified G-Sync Compatible?

            G-Sync Compatible TVs

            Some LG TVs have Nvidia’s G-Sync Compatible certification.   (Image credit: LG)

            As of 2021, there are numerous LG-branded G-Sync Compatible OLED TVs. They work via connection over HDMI to a desktop or laptop with an Nvidia RTX or GTX 16-series graphics card. You also need to follow the instruction for downloading the proper firmware . Nvidia said it’s working on getting more TVs that work with G-Sync Compatibility over HDMI in the future. 

            Here’s every G-Sync Compatible TV announced as of this writing:

            How to choose a 144Hz monitor?

            It is advisable to select the optimally suitable device, taking into account the technical characteristics. The main selection criteria for a 144 Hz monitor are:

            • size and resolution;
            • viewing angle;
            • matrix type;
            • type of video card;
            • color range.

            Initially, you need to decide on the purpose of use, and then study the technical features in detail.

            Size and resolution

            The diagonal length of the monitor in inches is the size, resolution is the number of vertical and horizontal pixels. Here it is necessary to take into account not only the feasibility of use, but also the size of the workplace where the device will be placed. Other overall features that affect the choice of monitor:

            • Up to 24″ — for working with documents in a limited workspace.
            • 24″ is the standard screen size that is most popular for home and office use.
            • 27″ — Ideal for watching movies.
            • 32″ — for gaming, working with graphic editors.

            Screen resolutions in demand in 2022-2023:

            • 1920×1080 pixels — Full HD;
            • 2560×1440 pixels — Full HD+
            • 3840×2160 or 4096×3072 pixels — 4K;
            • 5120×2160 pixels — 5K.

            Be sure to consider size and resolution. For example, a screen resolution that is too high on a small monitor will distort the image, and a small number of pixels on 27 inches will also be displayed in the same way.

            Screen size/resolution ratio to consider when buying:

            • up to 24 inches — fit Full HD, Full HD+;
            • 24-27 inches — optimally Full HD +;
            • 27″ — 32″ — 4K resolution.

            Viewing Angle

            This setting will be relevant for multiple users who can look at the screen at the same time. A poor viewing angle will only show quality viewing when looking directly at the display, otherwise text will be blurry and the image distorted.

            There are vertical and horizontal angles, the choice of a monitor is significantly influenced by the first indicator. That is, the higher it is, the better the view of what is happening on the screen from different corners of the room will be.

            Matrix type

            The most important parameter that is responsible for transferring the image to the screen is its working part. There are four types of matrices:

            • TN;
            • VA;
            • IPS;
            • OLED.

            TN. The simplest inexpensive matrix. Such displays are usually installed in aircraft cabins or shopping malls. TN is characterized by weak viewing angles, low screen resolution or so-called «broken pixels», as well as low contrast and poor color reproduction.

            But there is also a key feature of such matrices — high speed. Monitors with this working part switch pixels in 1 msec, due to which the scanning frequency becomes high and reaches 240 Hz. Therefore, such displays are optimal for gamers, but in cases where speed and smoothness of the image are important, and other indicators can be neglected.

            VA. The main difference between such matrices and TN is a lower response speed, while the color reproduction is much better, and the viewing angle is wider. In addition, monitors with a VA matrix give better contrast and black depth, which is a rather controversial advantage in the presence of uneven backlighting.

            IPS. Such devices are significantly superior to the quality indicators of VA and TN. Wide viewing angles, high-quality color reproduction, high resolution and almost perfect contrast are noted here. But there is also a drawback — the high cost, which is always noticeable when choosing a 144 Hz monitor with an IPS matrix.

            OLED. Such matrices have a good viewing angle and color reproduction, do not need backlighting. A significant drawback of matrices with OLED technology is that there is a noticeably large distance between subpixels, which requires a high resolution for the monitor. Due to the very high cost, such displays are extremely rare.

            Variant of video card

            For Full HD resolution it is quite easy to achieve decent quality rendering. For example, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT or Nvidia GeForce 1650 SUPER video adapters skillfully deliver standard 60 frames per second. But a 144Hz monitor requires a more powerful graphics card, such as the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and the like.

            Color range

            Color depth is determined by the number of gradations on the monitor. That is, the higher its numerical value, the brighter and deeper the image on the screen will be. This parameter directly depends on the matrix bit depth, the gradations used today are in the range from 6 to 12 bits. Color gamut shows the specific colors displayed on the screen, but not their number. It is commonly referred to as the sRGB or NTSC color space coverage percentage.

            Rating of the best 144 Hz monitors of 2022 (TOP 5)

            Using a monitor at 144 Hz after 60 Hz is a separate kind of pleasure . The first week is really super: it’s unusual not only to play, but even just to scroll the browser. These feelings are hard to describe. It’s easier to see it once, try it, and then 60 Hz for your eyes will turn into 30. If you understand this and decide to switch to a smoother monitor, but are lost among the huge selection on the market, this rating will be just right. I picked the TOP 5 best monitors at 144 Hz in 2022, which give out a cool image for various tasks plus adequate money.
