As mainstream graphics cards become more powerful, it’s not surprising that PC gamers are increasingly interested in 4K monitors. A panel packing 8.3 million pixels (3840 x 2160) makes your favorite games look sharp and realistic. And we can’t forget that the added resolution also comes in handy for productivity tasks. However, that 4K resolution requires a graphics card capable of delivering high enough frame rates to make games playable.
In addition to being one of the most popular resolutions available among the best gaming monitors, embracing 4K also offers the ability to expand to larger displays while retaining a sharp image. With a packed pixel army, you can stretch your screen size well past 30 inches without having pixels so large that you can see them.
However, that image quality can often come at a steep price. Anyone looking for a 4K monitor knows they’re not cheap. Yes, 4K is about high-res gaming (and other media), but you’ll still need solid gaming specs, like a 120 Hz-plus refresh rate, low response time, and your choice of Adaptive-Sync (Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync, depending on your system’s graphics card). And you can’t forget the cost of the powerful graphics card you’ll need to game properly in 4K. See our Best Gaming Monitors page for lower-resolution recommendations if you’re not ready to embrace 4K fully.
Our top overall pick is the Asus ROG Swift PG27UCDM, a 27-inch monitor capable of 240 Hz at 4K resolution. However, it’s not the only standout 4K monitor available today; let’s look at the other contenders to the enviable crown.
