The 10 Best IPS Monitors

10. Acer SB Series

If you’re outfitting an office or just don’t want to spend a lot, the Acer SB Series (around $168) may have what you need. It comes in 22, 23, and 27 inches, can display up to 75 frames per second, and is one of the most cost-effective choices around.

9. BenQ SW270C

Designed for those who spend a lot of time touching up photos and videos, the BenQ SW270C (about $800) is one of the finest professional displays available. Ninety-nine percent Adobe RGB coverage and AQColor reproduction mapping ensure that what’s onscreen will match the real world.

8. LG 34WL850

One of the most refined options, the LG 34WL850 (appx. $899) boasts Thunderbolt 3 connectivity that allows it to function as a high-bandwidth docking station for advanced laptops. It’s one of the few to cover as much as 98 percent of the wide DCI-P3 color gamut.

7. Acer Nitro

Gamers on a tight budget should take a good look at the Acer Nitro (around $362) series. Offered in full, ultra, and wide quad HD models, it provides variable refresh rates, expansive color coverage, and fast response times that result in low motion blur..

6. LG Ultragear

You don’t have to spend a fortune for a quality gaming option, thanks to the LG Ultragear (about $380). It’s available in two models, one with HDR support and one without, but both use the company’s proprietary nanoparticle technology to increase the boldness and accuracy of colors.

5. LG UltraFine

The impressive LG UltraFine (appx. $976) features a 5120 by 2160 resolution spread out across 34 diagonal inches. It’s one of the nicest displays available for Mac users and makes a great Windows peripheral too, as long your GPU is powerful enough to accommodate it.

4. AOC U4308V

You might mistake the AOC U4308V (about $480) for a modern TV, as it’s one of the rare PC monitors with a 43-inch screen. It provides a range of connectivity options, including line in, headphones out, dual HDMI, and a single DisplayPort 1.2 input

3. Dell Ultrasharp U3219Q

One of the all-around best-looking displays on the market, the Dell Ultrasharp U3219Q (appx. $729) measures 32 inches with a 3840 by 2160 resolution. It’s one of the first of its size to obtain the official DisplayHDR 400 certification and covers almost the entire sRGB spectrum.

2. Asus ROG Swift PG279QZ

With a 1440p panel offering up to 165 hertz, the Asus ROG Swift PG279QZ (appx. $599) delivers what many gamers consider the ideal balance of clarity and smoothness. A four-way adjustable stand helps to prevent fatigue and soreness, even during long gaming sessions.

1. Dell Ultrasharp U2719DX

At 27 inches with a 1440p resolution, the Dell Ultrasharp U2719DX (around $350) offers about as crisp an image as the eye can see. It features excellent factory calibration that results in a delta E of less than two, and its compact design won’t take up too much space on your desk.
