The 10 Best Monitors With AMD FreeSync

This Review has been updated 13 times since it was first published in November of 2018. Screen tearing and judder not only pull you out of immersion, but can also give you a headache. So if you can’t maintain 60 FPS at 4K — and nearly noone can — AMD FreeSync can tie the display’s refresh rate to the number of frames per second, preventing distracting, lag-inducing stuttering. These monitors pair perfectly with Radeon- and Vega-powered systems, including the entire Xbox family.

The 10 Best Monitors With AMD FreeSync

10. LG UltraFine

Developed hand-in-hand with Apple, the LG UltraFine (about $1478) is built to accommodate the company’s flagship line of notebooks. It uses a special protocol that simulates two DisplayPort connections over a single Thunderbolt 3 cable, meaning Windows users are somewhat out of luck.

9. BenQ EL2870U

Relatively affordable for such an advanced display, the BenQ EL2870U (about $300) connects via HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 to drive its 4K panel and built-in speakers. It features a smart sensor that adjusts color temperature and brightness based on ambient conditions.

8. BenQ EX3203R

Outfitted with the 2nd generation of AMD’s anti-tearing tech, the BenQ EX3203R (appx. $579) varies up to 144 hertz, and manages to secure VESA’s esteemed DisplayHDR approval. Its 2560 by 1440 resolution allows many gaming rigs to crank their settings up and still get a good frame rate.

7. LG WK95C-W

If you’re a firm believer that bigger is better, the LG WK95C-W (about $1573) may be the one for you. This ultrawide beast is one of the biggest ways to dynamically lock refresh rates to your AMD GPU, and its 3840 by 1600 resolution is about as good as it gets for gaming at a desk..

6. Alienware 25

Manufactured by Dell for their performance-oriented subsidiary, the Alienware 25 (around $291) is remarkably well priced, considering its professional-grade, 240-hertz panel. It’s the perfect size for fast-paced gaming where you can’t afford to miss any of the action.

5. G-Story 173H

The G-Story 173H (appx. $279) is a very different beast from most PC monitors. It weighs under 7 pounds and its stand folds flush when not in use, making it perfect for gaming on the go with a slim console or compact PC build, and its 17-inch screen looks fantastic at 1080p.

4. ViewSonic VX2458

Aspiring eSports pros should consider the ViewSonic VX2458 (appx. $162), which operates at up to 144 hertz, and costs less than almost any other. Its flicker-free, blue-light-filtering screen will keep your eyes fresh and active during long matches.

3. Samsung CJ791

To drive its 125 percent-sRGB, QLED screen, the Samsung CJ791 (around $749) relies on the high-speed Thunderbolt 3 protocol, which also lets it serve as a multidevice charging station. Its 3,000:1 static contrast ratio and 100-Hz refresh rate are nearly unheard-of on monitors this size.

2. LG 29WK600-W

At under $300, the LG 29WK600-W’s rock-bottom price falls right in line with one of the famed Radeon family’s biggest selling points. It covers nearly the entire sRGB gamut, and adds exceptional productivity with its built-in split-screen function.

1. HP Pavilion

The HP Pavilion (about $400) is one of very few in this class to receive VESA’s official, second-tier DisplayHDR certification. It has two HDMI and one DisplayPort that all support HDCP 2.2, and it’s constructed using relatively environmentally friendly methods and materials.
