The 10 Best Monitors

10. Dell S2419

If you’re on a budget and don’t need something massive, it’s hard to beat the Dell S2419 (around $149) for the price. It has 3 factory presets as well as customizable display profiles, and its 1-millisecond response time minimizes motion blur when gaming or viewing fast-paced content.

9. Philips Momentum

The Philips Momentum (appx. $910) is one of the most refined on the market, which is reflected in its price tag. It’s as large as any dedicated computer screen around, and features quantum dot filtration, much like what’s found on extremely high-end TVs.

8. BenQ 2720U

Developed for graphic design professionals, the BenQ 2720U (around $1100) features a remarkably accurate color spectrum, with 96% DCI-P3 and 99% Adobe RGB coverage. It also has dedicated darkroom, CAD, and animation modes geared toward maximizing productivity.

7. Samsung C34J791

Thirty-four inches of real estate in a 21:9 aspect ratio make the Samsung C34J791 (about $829) one of the most immersive displays on the market. Its renowned QLED technology produces stunningly lifelike color across the IPS panel, which has a curve measured at 1500R..

6. HP Z27

Priced in the middle of the pack, the HP Z27 (around $497) boasts some of the most helpful advanced features. Its USB-C port accepts video and data transfer while simultaneously delivering 65 watts of power, making it an all-in-one USB 3.0 hub.

5. Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ

For those willing to make a significant investment, the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ (appx. $1430) is arguably the finest gaming monitor yet released. Its Ultra HD panel refreshes at an impressive 144 hertz, and it’s fully certified for HDR with an impressive 1,000-nit rating.

4. Asus Designo

One of the newest and most technologically advanced selections, the Asus Designo (about $999) sports a gradual 2300R curvature and 10-watt Harmon Kardon speakers that sound surprisingly good. Its flicker-free backlight and blue light filter help protect your eyes from fatigue.

3. LG UltraFine

One of the highest-resolution 21:9 models to date, the LG UltraFine (appx. $1039) boasts a wide range of advanced features. It offers Thunderbolt 3 as well as DisplayPort 1.4 connectivity, and works great with modern MacBooks and the latest video cards.

2. Dell S-Series

The 27-inch Dell S-Series (about $290) is an all-around great-looking display that covers 90% of the cinematic DCI-P3 color space. Its high-end Corning light-guide plate glass and InfinityEdge bezel help to make it one of the slimmest and sleekest options available.

1. LG 27UL

Two distinct versions of the LG 27UL (appx. $347) stand out as among the best values currently available. The base model offers excellent image quality at an impressively low price, while the upgraded option adds a Type-C input and DisplayHDR 400 certification.
