Since your monitor is the portal to actually using your PC, it makes sense to invest in a good one. Of course, the best gaming monitor for your needs depends on how you use your PC, and if ultra-fast framerates is your thing, check out this deal on the Alienware 25 (AW2518H).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn’t very big at 24.5 inches, and the resolution stands at just 1920×1080. However, that makes it easier on your hardware to utilize the rapid native 240Hz refresh rate it offers, making this a great choice for less demanding esports games (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive comes to mind). And as for the size, not everyone has the space for a hulking display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you might have guessed, the AW2518H is built around a TN panel (240Hz refresh rates are no longer the exclusive domains of TN displays, but IPS monitors are much fewer in number). Compared to a typical IPS display, TN panels have tighter sweet spots and lower color gamuts, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While professional photographers will want to look elsewhere, competitive gamers have reason to zero in on this one. It has a 1ms response time to facilitate quick reactions, and is built for speed and smooth gameplay. To that latter point, it supports Nvidia’s G-Sync technology with an actual G-Sync hardware module inside (as opposed to being a “G-Sync Compatible” model).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AW2518H is also fairly generous in terms of connectivity. The underbelly is home to an HDMI 1.4 port, a DisplayPort 1.2 connector, two 3.5mm jacks (headphone and audio out), and four USB 3.0 downstream ports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
