Unconsciously, it was the warm-up time of the 618 again, and I thought of taking advantage of the big promotion to quickly refurbish my electronic equipment. Seeing that more and more games are coming out this year, I really can't help but look for a good gaming screen for myself. A good gaming monitor has several factors that must be considered, such as resolution, refresh rate, size, color, price, etc. must be measured according to their preferences and economic conditions.
Resolution: At present, the most common in the digital market is 1080P, and the budget is better to choose 2K and 4K displays. The higher the resolution, the more pixels are displayed in the same size, and the clearer and more detailed the picture is. We can also feel the enjoyment of clear picture quality when playing games. Of course, the choice of resolution also needs to adapt to the performance of the host graphics card to achieve the ideal state.
Refresh rate: 60Hz is often said by general e-sports people, and 144Hz refers to the number of screen images refreshed per second. In FPS games, this factor is quite important and closely related to the player's operating experience. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the picture, and now many manufacturers continue to improve the refresh rate technology and breakthroughs, 144Hz is already the most basic game configuration.
Size: 24 inches, 27 inches, 32 inches as the current mainstream monitor size, also have a certain impact on the gaming experience. Playing MOBA games "DOTA" and "League of Legends" 27 inches is a more suitable choice, and games like "Rainbow Six" with more information and faster rhythms of about 24 inches are the optimal solution. Of course, there are also 32-inch and 34-inch fish screens, which are more friendly to gamers who love to see the scenery and value the visual experience.
Color: The priority of color may be relatively higher than the above three points, but rich colors and a wide enough color gamut coverage are important to the player's experience, and it is difficult to appreciate the game's real painting style and gorgeous special effects without enough delicate colors. Good colors also help some artistic creation work.
These four factors are my understanding of choosing a gaming monitor, looking for several monitors with excellent screen quality, and also helping you understand what the current 2-3K price market is like, which can be selected and matched according to needs.
HKC Aegis MG25H
As a well-known involution manufacturer in the industry, HKC broke through the conventional MG25H, and the original backlight module that comes with the FAST IPS panel gives excellent and fine picture quality. With a 24.5-inch class size, the eyeball can capture different information in the scene faster. The resolution of 1080P with a refresh rate of 360Hz is basically for FPS games, and the 360Hz output through the DP1.4 interface, as a better configuration than professional players, brings the ultimate smooth experience without delay, and the adjusted response speed also ensures the consistency of the picture. The color has a wide gamut coverage of 99% sRGB, but there is some color difference in the display of red colors. However, the price of 2499 is indeed the king of volumes.

LG 27GP850-B
The third generation of Nano-IPS panel, 2560x1440 resolution has been able to meet the needs of players for the clarity of various game screens. The original 165Hz overclocking can reach a high brush of 180Hz, which solves the shadow lag situation that will occur in online game team battles. At the same time, it supports AMD FreeSyne and NVIDIA G-SYNC tear prevention technology, which also allows me to get a coherent picture experience when I operate carefully, and although the response speed is 1ms (GtG), it seems that it has not been carefully tuned, and the performance is not as good as expected. As well as the top-heavy stand design is slightly weird. It is a gaming monitor with comprehensive quality. The price is around 2299.

ROG XG27AQ superb view
27 inches to play MOBA games is very comfortable, basically the Internet café to play "League of Legends" is this size. The combination of 2K screen and overclocked 170Hz refresh rate is relatively reasonable, and it is also a hexagonal warrior route, and the AUO 6.8 FAST-IPS panel is also equipped with ASUS ELMB-SYNC and NVIDIA G-SYNC tear prevention technology. The grayscale response time is also 1ms as standard. But I was pleasantly surprised by the color of this monitor, with the DCI-P3 95% color gamut and appearance color correction, and the colors are more realistic without excessive saturation. However, the overall thick sense of the display is relatively strong, and the operation of removing the projection logo lamp is removed, and the current price is 2399.

Philips 275M1RZPRO
Philips' 27M1RZPRO uses a second-generation NanoIPS panel, and the ultra-fast response of 1ms (GtG) on this panel is combined with Adaptive sync technology to ensure a consistent experience when playing games. With a 2K screen, 170Hz high brush, 10-bit color depth and HDR400 support, this monitor is indeed good for playing large single-player games. And there is a circle of ambient light LED lights on the back panel to set the atmosphere. The loading of the built-in speaker is also a plus. However, the brightness in sRGB mode is relatively high, and the daily reception is low. The current price is 1799.

Summary:
