4k 144Hz gaming monitors combine a high resolution with a high refresh rate for a smooth gaming experience with plenty of detail and sharp images. While you need a high-end graphics card and a premium computer setup to take full advantage of these monitors, this technology has become more accessible, and the demand for 4k 144Hz gaming monitors has grown. Because of this, these high-end monitors have also started to become more affordable in recent years, and there are 4k 144Hz monitors available for almost any budget.
We’ve bought and tested over 270 monitors, and below are our picks for the best 4k 144Hz monitors to buy. Also, see our recommendations for the best monitors for Xbox Series X, the best monitors for PS5, and the best 4k gaming monitors.

The best 4k 144Hz monitor we’ve tested is the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75.
It’s a high-end monitor with a max refresh rate of 165Hz, which delivers a slightly smoother experience compared to other 4k 144Hz monitors, but the difference isn’t extremely noticeable, either. You can also get the Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 S32BG85, which has many of the same features but an even higher 240Hz refresh rate. It’s great if you’ll take advantage of the full refresh rate, but if you want a 4k 144Hz monitor for now, it’s worth getting the Neo G7, which often goes on sale for cheaper.Motion looks smooth on the Neo G7 thanks to the excellent response time across its entire refresh rate range, and there isn’t any blur trail behind fast-moving objects. It also has a backlight strobing feature to reduce persistence blur, but it doesn’t work simultaneously with its variable refresh rate (VRR) support. It natively supports FreeSync VRR and is also G-SYNC compatible to help reduce screen tearing. It also delivers excellent picture quality because it has Mini LED backlighting, providing both bright highlights and deep blacks.

If you find the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 too expensive and prefer something a bit cheaper, consider the LG 32GQ950-B. It has a 32-inch screen size like the Samsung and a max refresh rate of 160Hz.
However, the main trade-off is that it has worse picture quality. It doesn’t have the same Mini LED backlighting as the Samsung, so the local dimming feature is worse, and it doesn’t perform well in dark scenes as blacks look gray. Besides that, it still offers an excellent gaming experience with an incredible response time across its entire refresh rate range.While it doesn’t have a backlight strobing feature to improve the appearance of motion, motion looks smooth without it. Like the Samsung monitor, it has low input lag for a responsive feel and FreeSync VRR with G-SYNC compatibility. If you also want to use it for console gaming, it doesn’t have any issues taking full advantage of the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, thanks to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.

If you want a slightly cheaper monitor in the mid-range price category, then consider the Sony INZONE M9. It’s similar to the LG 32GQ950-B because it’s also excellent for gaming and has many of the same features, but there are a few differences between them. The Sony has a slightly lower 144Hz max refresh rate and a slower response time than the LG, so while the motion handling isn’t the absolute best, it’s still good enough for most gamers. On the plus side, the Sony delivers better picture quality as it has a superior local dimming feature, making it the better choice for dark room gaming.
It’s also excellent for console gaming, especially if you have a PS5. As it’s a Sony monitor, it has a few features you can use with the PS5, like Auto HDR Tone Mapping to improve the picture quality in HDR games. Its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth lets you play 4k games up to 120Hz without any issue, and there aren’t any compatibility issues even if you want to use it with the Xbox Series X|S.

If you want something cheaper, the Gigabyte M32U is a great alternative to the Sony INZONE M9.
Although you don’t get the same great picture quality because it has terrible local dimming, it still offers excellent gaming performance for a lower cost. It has the same max refresh rate of 144Hz, and it’s an excellent gaming monitor with a fast response time.It has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two ports and supports 4k @ 120Hz gaming from the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There are some limits when gaming on a PS5, though, as the ports are limited to 24 Gbps bandwidth instead of the full 48 Gbps bandwidth of HDMI 2.1. This mainly affects the text clarity on the console, but this doesn’t affect the gaming or overall picture quality, and it isn’t a problem with the Xbox either. It also has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray in a dark room, and if you want something with better contrast, the Gigabyte M32UC is a similar model with higher contrast, but it also has worse motion handling.

As 4k 144Hz monitors don’t come cheap, you’ll have to expect to pay a bit more for a monitor than a regular budget display, but the Gigabyte M28U is still a good option if you want one of the cheapest 4k 144Hz monitors available. It’s essentially a smaller version of the Gigabyte M32U, with a few minor differences, like a different stand with worse ergonomics and no swivel adjustments; however, that’s only an issue if you need to constantly adjust the screen. It also delivers great picture quality in bright rooms as it has decent peak brightness and good reflection handling, but it doesn’t get as bright as the M32U.
It still has excellent gaming performance and is versatile enough for other uses. It has an excellent response time at its max refresh rate of 144Hz and remains quick at 120Hz if you want to use it for console gaming. It also has native FreeSync support and works with NVIDIA graphics cards for G-SYNC compatibility. Gaming feels responsive thanks to its incredibly low input lag, which doesn’t increase much at lower refresh rates.

Notable Mentions
- Cooler Master Tempest GP27U:
The Cooler Master Tempest GP27U delivers similar performance to the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 S32BG75 thanks to its Mini LED backlighting, and it gets brighter. Unfortunately, it can be harder to find, and there are bugs.
See our review - Dell G3223Q:
The Dell G3223Q is an excellent gaming monitor in the same price range as the LG 32GQ950-B. It also gets brighter in SDR, but the motion handling is better on the LG.
See our review - LG 27GP950-B:
The LG 27GP950-B is a bit more expensive than the Gigabyte M32U, and it supports the full 48 Gbps of HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so your graphics card doesn’t need to use compression, but the Gigabyte is more versatile for other uses as well.

Solid specs and coloring – iffy software
I purchased two of these monitors based on the specs, including color and refresh rate. One monitor required RMA process due to issues with flickering, however that was pain free thus far. The software for the color sphere is buggy and doesn’t work great. Lots of crashes there. I also cannot achieve the advertised 160mhz refresh rate. I’ve even followed up with support and cannot get my computer to offer the selection. Given I’m working with a 4090 GPU, I’m not sure why it’s unavailable and so difficult to achieve. Zero mention of it in the instructions.

Purchased this to replace a 1080p 144hz monitor I had.
Definitely night and day difference in picture quality. The thin bezel was definitely a significant upgrade. Software runs great and isn’t buggy and I’ve had 0 issues with display.

Great 4k Monitor
This is a great 4k monitor. The Nvidia Sync is a pretty neat feature too, and pairs nicely with my new 4090. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that needs a BRIGHT 4k monitor. It is great for bright roooms.

1080p, 1440p or 4K – which monitor resolution should I choose? — i2HARD
First of all, we will look at the options for monitors that can be purchased on the market today, and what are the differences in the price structure of each line.
For example, how much more does a 4K monitor cost compared to a 1440p monitor, and what sacrifices are you making in doing so? What are the GPU performance hurdles when upgrading an existing one or moving to a higher resolution? We test a lot of monitors every year, but for some reason we never talked about it, so let’s try.

We’ll start by talking about 1080p because whenever we review these monitors, we often see comments asking why even buy a 1080p monitor these days. I think that there are still a couple of reasons why such a purchase would still be justified.
First of all, the price. These are the most affordable monitors out there, and if you don’t have a lot of money, then 1080p might be your only choice. It’s not uncommon to see some great 1080p monitors on sale for under $200, such as the AOC 24G2./cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/10880575/24_011_229_V15.jpg)
So even if you only have $200, you can still buy a decent 1080p 144Hz gaming monitor. While 1440p prices start at around $250, at that price you won’t get anything other than higher resolution, which you can’t say about modern 1080p IPS panels for the same money.
For many buyers, paying an extra $50-100 for a higher resolution monitor is not easy, especially when that money can be spent on a GPU upgrade, for example. And since the vast majority of modern GPUs support 1080p gaming at decent frame rates, choosing a 1080p monitor will ensure your PC runs any game without any hiccups or dances. Especially with a diagonal of up to 24 “- the pixel size will be acceptable. I think this is the best option for buyers with an average income.
Another good reason to opt for 1080p is for players who are primarily into competitive esports gaming. Most esports players, like the organizers of modern professional large-scale tournaments, prefer 1080p monitors. The reason for this is that 1080p monitors have a higher refresh rate than any other monitor format, and the demands of games at this resolution are low, allowing ultra-high frame rates to be achieved.
The combination of a high refresh rate with a high frame rate significantly reduces latency compared to other configurations, which is extremely important for serious gamers as it gives them an advantage in the competition.
For beginner esports players, the market offers affordable 1080p monitors at 240Hz. Models like the LG 27GN750 and ASUS VG259QM, priced under $300, are great choices to start playing sports games with high refresh rates, not on an outdated TN panel, but with superb IPS image quality.
A monitor with the same refresh rate but 1440p will cost at least twice as much, making it out of reach for many gamers. If I were to choose between 1080p/240Hz and 1440p/144Hz at the same price – which is the case now – then for competitive gaming, I would prefer the faster 1080p.
In addition, 1080p will appeal to eSports professionals as well, offering options with 360Hz refresh rates or advanced TN panels that provide the sharpest picture possible thanks to backlight strobe, such as the BenQ XL2546K.
Those specs haven’t made it to 1440p monitors yet, so if that’s what you’re after, 1080p has no alternatives.
There are several other less significant points. 24-inch monitors usually only come in 1080p, so if you need something small for your desktop, 1080p is a great choice. I also think a 1080p monitor would work well as a secondary display for low-end builds, even if the main display is 1440p.
When to buy a 1440p monitor?
As we’ve said many times in our reviews, 1440p is the “tidbit” for gamers these days. The main reason for this lies in the pricing of modern monitors. Let’s take a typical monitor with an average refresh rate, something around 144 Hz, and a diagonal of 27 inches. A 1080p monitor costs between $200 and $250. A decent but still budget 1440p monitor like the Gigabyte M27Q costs between $300 and $350. Then, to jump to 4K 144Hz, it is suggested to purchase a product like the Gigabyte M28U, which is already $600 and up.
In other words, the difference in price between 1080p and 1440p is about one and a half times with identical other characteristics and quality, while a similar step from 1440p to 4K doubles the cost.
Many people (myself included) believe that at this screen size the transition from 1440p to 4K is not as noticeable and significant in games as the transition from 1080p to 1440p. Therefore, such an upgrade, costing a price increase of only 50%, can be called excellent value for money.
Cost:
- 1080p 144Hz – $200-$250
- 1440p 144Hz – $300-$350
- 2160p 144Hz – $600-$650
9000 4 Let’s say you have $350 for a monitor. You can choose from the 1080p 240Hz we talked about earlier, 1440p 170Hz, or 4K 60Hz. If you’re not into competitive gaming, a 1440p 170Hz monitor will be the most balanced, delivering both a decent resolution to keep games looking nice and crisp, and a decent refresh rate for a smooth gaming experience.
- 1080p 240Hz – $350
- 1440p 170Hz – $350
- 2160p – $350
does not have a good refresh rate, and 1080p monitors lack resolution, especially if you play modern gaming AAA blockbusters.
The 1440p monitor is the golden mean, optimally meeting all needs.
1440p monitors are also better value per pixel, with 78% more pixels than 1080p, but only 50% more price. Other than that, there are other factors in favor of 1440p.
1440p monitors fill the majority of the market today, so it’s much easier to choose the model that meets all your requirements among them. Prices range from $250 to $900, depending on sensor technology, refresh rate, diagonal and quality. This allows you to choose the best option according to some specific criteria, for example, you want a monitor with a VA matrix and its deep blacks, or you need a KVM switch, which is not very common on 1080p monitors (at least, the same level quality).
Often overlooked in discussions between 1080p and 1440p is the quality of the panels themselves. Although the response times of panels with the same technology at different resolutions are generally the same (for example, when comparing 1080p IPS and 1440p IPS), 1440p monitors usually have an advantage in color gamut.
I have yet to see a 1080p gaming monitor with 80% Rec.2020 coverage that delivers excellent performance in DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces. While this is not uncommon among 1440p monitors, it adds versatility to a gaming monitor depending on the task at hand. However, characteristics such as brightness, contrast, and viewing angle do not differ significantly and often vary from monitor to monitor.
Also note that 1440p monitors feel more confident in a wider range of diagonals. So, 32-inch 1080p panels look like a low resolution, pixels become visible to the eye. Things are different with 1440p, and again, there is a wider range of better quality 32-inch products than in other resolution classes. This reinforces the correctness of choosing 1440p as the most versatile choice in 2022 for any kind of gamer.
We are also seeing the emergence of 1440p displays with high refresh rates – up to 240 and even 270 Hz – for competitive gaming. Although these monitors cost a lot more, they are just as versatile and I would prefer them if I want to play both competitive and AAA games.
High resolution, at the expense of some FPS stuttering, ensures sharp images when playing games like Guardians of the Galaxy and Cyberpunk 2077, but if you want to play Fortnite or Rocket League, then a high refresh rate is a priority, providing a smoother work and reducing delays.
I think 1440p 240Hz monitors are very promising, perhaps even the most promising monitors available today, as their resolution and refresh rate allow them to last 5 years or more without an upgrade. While buying 1080p 240Hz, or even 4K 144Hz, you may want to consider upgrading sooner – you’ll want to up the resolution in the former case, the refresh rate in the latter. Only 1440p offers both.
If you think 1440p is right for you, the main thing to look at is your computer’s performance. According to our latest tests of modern titles, going from 1080p to 1440p is accompanied by a performance drop of 25-35% depending on the installed graphics card. The load on VRAM also increases, especially on cards with 4 and 6 GB of memory.

The load on VRAM also increases, especially on cards with 4 and 6 GB of memory.
Just so you know, with a GPU like the RTX 2070, instead of 110 FPS at 1080p, you’ll get around 80 FPS at 1440p. It’s the same with more powerful cards like RX 6700 XT: instead of ~160 FPS – 115 FPS. Only mid-range or lower cards may have problems, since most GPUs, including the RTX 2060, can handle 1440p just fine even at maximum quality settings.
On the other hand, 1440p isn’t ideal for console gaming. While the Xbox Series X supports 1440p output and games at that resolution, the PlayStation 5 and older Sony consoles do not. Some 1440p monitors offer the ability to connect and convert a 4K signal, but this adaptation is often limited to 60 Hz, and the resulting quality may vary between models.
This should be taken into account if you plan to play on both PC and console.
When to buy a 4K monitor?
Given the number of releases in this category over the last year or so, I think it makes sense in some cases to look into 4K gaming monitors. High-quality 4K monitors with high refresh rates can be purchased today for a very reasonable $650.
4K gaming aimed at non-poor buyers. If you’re on a tight budget, if you’re trying to save as much as possible, or if your hardware is generally average, then 4K isn’t for you. It does provide better image quality than 1440p, but the inflated price of 4K monitors hardly justifies the difference. As a rule, with similar characteristics, a 4K monitor costs as much as two 1440p monitors, or even more.
But if it’s important to you to have maximum resolution for gaming at a decent refresh rate, 4K is for you. Also, if you have a powerful graphics card, you should also consider buying a 4K monitor. While the RTX 3080 Ti or RX 6900 XT typically deliver over 150 FPS at 1440p, they are capable of reaching 100 FPS or more in many of today’s games at 4K.
In the most demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, they will also deliver decent 60+ FPS. If picture quality is more important to you than pure FPS performance, and you play a lot of single player games on a powerful GPU, then going to 4K definitely has its benefits, and in most cases the game will be very smooth.
Of course, you have to sacrifice performance, and the price is higher than when you go from 1080p to 1440p. Going from 1440p to 4K typically reduces performance by 40-45%, and cards with less than 8GB of VRAM may experience problems. Compared to 1080p, the performance drop in 4K is 60% or more. To some extent, technologies like DLSS and FSR help offset the loss in performance, but the upgrade to 4K is definitely the most expensive and demanding, and the image quality benefits are not as pronounced compared to other formats. This is why we only recommend 4K for professional gamers with GPUs like RTX 3070 or better.
An added benefit to buying a 4K monitor is its versatility.
4K monitors are generally great for work: text is very crisp, plenty of screen real estate for your applications, and most 4K monitors have great support for different color gamuts for all sorts of creativity. It’s also the ideal resolution for watching modern content, as many TV shows and movies come out in 4K. If you use your PC not only for gaming, but for all sorts of other tasks, then 4K monitors are a worthwhile upgrade worth the money. But for a purely gaming computer, it makes no sense to overpay.
The greatest benefit from 4K is achieved with a diagonal increase – from 32 inches and above. A 42-inch monitor at 1440p will look so-so, while 4K is quite usable at this screen size and even more. But unfortunately, 32-inch 4K gaming monitors are one of the most expensive categories you can find today, and some of the larger screen sizes aren’t top quality.
Among other things, 4K monitors are ideal for console gaming. Both the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 can output 4K at up to 120Hz, and to take full advantage of that, you’ll need a 4K gaming monitor.
These monitors are best suited for console gaming with and without a PC, as well as for the future – if you want to add additional devices in the future. Just make sure you get a full HDMI 2.1 monitor, which isn’t every high end 4K monitor on the market.
- 2160p 144Hz – $650-$750
- 1440p 240Hz – $650-$750
- 1080p 360Hz – $650-$750
When it comes to comparing 4K to other formats, 4K is usually just as fast and has just as good color performance. , as well as 1440p monitors, if not better, but it depends on the specific model. Modern 32-inch (for example) 4K monitors are not as fast as similar 1440p monitors with the same refresh rate, so this should also be kept in mind. And features like backlight strobe may be less advanced than on lower resolution monitors.
Another important question is what alternatives to 4K monitors are on the market for the same price? Based on a $700 price tag for a decent 144Hz 4K monitor, you can also get 1440p 240Hz monitors for the same price.
This option provides the added versatility of a high refresh rate for competitive gaming, while 4K is better suited to high-end hardware and consoles. So you have to choose what is more important to you. Both options look very promising and designed for many years of use, just each of them is optimized for its intended purpose.
When to buy an Ultrawide monitor?
Like 1440p monitors, Ultrawids are available in a wide variety of options, ranging from $350-$400 budget monitors to $1000+ flagships. At the same time, this is a completely different format, and not everyone understands the merits of its extra width. Personally, I appreciate the width for work and find the game on this format more exciting, but this is more my personal preference than a question of whether it is better or worse than the traditional 16:9 screen.
But let’s say you’re interested in an ultra-wide monitor. Which one to choose then?
There are decent options in the $400 to $500 range, but they are noticeably more expensive than 1440p 16:9 monitors.
If you want a 3440×1440 curved VA, you’ll spend at least $400, a 60% increase over a $250 1440p monitor with the same specs. An IPS-based analog will cost you about $500, compared to $300 for a standard 16:9. And that’s typical of all ultrawide monitors: they’re priced about 60% more than a similar 16:9 display – just for the extra width.
Ultra-wide monitors typically allow for split screen when two applications run side by side, as in multi-monitor use. With a 21:9 split screen, you won’t get as much real estate as with two 16:9 monitors, but one ultrawide monitor will cost less than two standard monitors, so this factor may be decisive in favor of choosing one, but ultrawide monitor.
However, there are some limitations that you should be aware of. With the exception of super-premium and fancy monitors like the Samsung Odyssey G9, most ultra-wide monitors don’t have the high performance you can get from a 16:9 monitor. For example, there are currently many monitors with 1440p 240Hz resolution, but none of them provide such a refresh rate at an ultrawide resolution of 3440×1440.
