Advice on monitors per usage situation

Refresh rate and response time. These 2 specifications are by far the most important things to take into account when looking for a gaming monitor. A high refresh rate ensures smooth images, a low response time prevents ghosting. For competitive games, we recommend you to get a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor. Do you mostly play open world games? Look into a QHD or 4K resolution and an ultrawide screen size. That way, you'll experience the gaming world even more intensively.
