Gaming has transcended everything that the media once made it out to be. Gaming has inspired the innovation of multiple technologies that have made it a more immersive experience than any other entertainment media.
Choosing the monitor that is best for you depends mainly on the types of games that your play. If you are into competitive shooters that require high refresh rates and response time, you need a gaming monitor with a TN panel. However, if open-world gaming is more your speed, then a 4K IPS panel is your best bet as it offers wide viewing angles and superior picture quality. New gaming laptops also come with impressive monitors but they are very pricey. So instead of spending all your cash for laptop you can pick up a monitor for less and pair it with your desktop computer.
Regardless of the type of gamer that you are, we have compiled a list of the best gaming monitors in 2020.
