The upgrade choice for people wanting 1440p 165Hz but at better image quality all round is the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD which we've been recommending for a while and continues to be a great choice at $420. You also get decent speed, not at the level of the best IPS panels of today, but for $260 we think HP are nailing the basics and then some. The downsides to the X27q are that the contrast ratio isn't great, though no different to other budget monitors like the LG 27GL83A and Dell S2721DGF and that the color gamut isn't as wide as today's best gaming monitors. And third, you still get the benefits of an IPS display like excellent viewing angles and solid color quality. This affects text clarity, with the win here going to the HP's more traditional layout. Second, it uses a regular RGB subpixel layout, whereas the M27Q uses BGR. First, it's cheaper, which at this level is a huge price saving – and it performs just as well in key areas like response time performance. Pricing tends to fluctuate between $250 and $270 and for that price you get a 27-inch 1440p 165Hz IPS display with all the usual modern features like adaptive sync support for all of today's GPUs.īefore in this category we recommended the Gigabyte M27Q, but the HP X27q is a better monitor for several reasons. The HP X27q, which we fully reviewed just a few weeks ago, is insanely good value at just $253. Starting with the budget class, for most people this is where the best bang for buck in the entire monitor market is found today and pricing continues to become more attractive as well. For high-end shoppers, we can start talking about today's 240Hz 1440p options. If you want something a bit better with higher performance, around $400 will get you an upgrade pick in the same medium refresh class. The way we see it, there are three main classes of 1440p monitors to consider: if you're after a budget gaming display at 1440p, we recommend a medium refresh ~165Hz IPS for under $300. This can make buying a 1440p monitor daunting, but also there are so many options that there should be something for everyone, including budget shoppers. If you're after a 1440p gaming monitor, the first question you need to ask yourself is what sort of 1440p monitor do you want, because there are a ton of products on the market today, covering many refresh rates, sizes, panel types and price points. Masthead credit: u/Noble3781 at r/ultrawidemasterrace The Best 1440p Gaming Monitors: Late 2022.We've grouped monitors in five categories: 1080p, 1440p, 4K, ultrawide and HDR, with a few key recommendations on each, depending on the level of refresh rate you are targeting, display size and budget. It's always worth going back and checking out the dedicated monitor reviews we produce for more in-depth thoughts on each, but most importantly the recommendations below are the byproduct of our testing results and research.
As we've discussed before, we tend to discuss and recommend only the monitors we've tested and know to be good, or monitors that are very similar to products we have tested (use the same panels). Our monitor testing methodology was updated this past year, testing 60+ displays.
In this guide, we're going to go through everything we've learned so far and all the latest models we tested to give you comprehensive advice on gaming monitor shopping.Īlso worth mentioning, if you're not sure what monitor category is best for you, but you do have a specific budget in mind, a recent feature discusses the best monitors to buy at each price point between $100 and $1,000. We've been testing and reviewing gaming monitors and putting together recommendations for distinct categories including 1080p, 1440p and 4K gaming monitors for the past few years.
