Monitor Reviews

Chock-full of features and shining with solid brightness and color coverage, the Philips Brilliance 279P1 is an excellent entry in the growing category of docking-station monitors.

ViewSonic's Elite XG270QG gaming monitor delivers everything that 1440p gamers could want, and a bunch more. It's a premium panel that, despite the price, still packs tremendous value for serious high-speed play.

The HP E27m G4 QHD USB-C Conferencing Monitor enhances your video calls with a high-res webcam, dual mics, and powerful stereo speakers, plus the connectivity of a USB-C docking station display and a full range of ergonomic features. Its primitive OSD buttons are our only quibble.

BenQ's EX2780Q is primarily a gaming monitor, but its punchy sound system and deft handling of HDR make it a winning all-around screen for general entertainment, too.

If you value gaming performance and content watching above all, the Dell 24 S2421HGF stands head and shoulders above other budget 1080p displays.

If your only gaming concern is how well your monitor performs in fast-paced esports scenarios, Acer's Nitro XV252Q F is your panel. It sheds everything you don't need and nails the big target: sheer speed.

HP's 24mh IPS-based budget monitor is surprisingly feature-rich for its price, packing three inputs, a stand with ergonomic chops, and built-in speakers. Plus, the panel delivers a high contrast ratio and stellar sRGB color coverage for the money.

The Alienware 34 QD-OLED is a fine start for this new panel technology, and it shows that with just a few more refinements to its configuration settings and performance peaks, QD-OLED could be the only display type we're playing on five years from now.

If you have the money to spend on the ultimate ultrawide gaming monitor, the Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ has the features, the power, and the prowess to sit atop the segment for the foreseeable future.

The Dell UltraSharp 27 4K PremierColor (UP2720Q) is one of the only monitors in its price range with a built-in calibration tool, which automates and simplifies the task of preserving a panel's color accuracy.

Apple's Pro Display XDR provides exceptional color accuracy and build quality at a price that's quite competitive with those of reference-grade pro monitors. It's exquisite enough that swallowing the wildly extravagant cost of its Pro Stand is worth it.
