The Best 240Hz Monitors (2025 Reviews)

So, you’ve decided to upgrade your game by getting a faster monitor?

We’ll cut right to the chase — there are various 240Hz models out there, both good and bad, so we’ve picked the best of the best models for you to choose from according to your budget and preference.

At 240Hz, fast-paced motion becomes significantly smoother as opposed to standard 60Hz-75Hz displays. Although the bump isn’t as noticeable as it’s when going from 60Hz to 144Hz, you can definitely see and feel the difference.

A higher refresh rate also ensures lower input lag! While these things won’t magically make you a better player, you do get a slight advantage over other gamers with regular screens.

Most importantly, a high refresh rate makes the gaming experience feel more responsive and enjoyable.

Now, to ensure you’re getting the optimal performance, there are additional things to consider, such as the screen size and panel type as well as VRR and MBR performance — all of which we’ll get into in the following monitor reviews.

If you want to view our changelogs for this particular buying guide, you can do so at the end of this article.

Best 1080p 240Hz Gaming Monitors

Looking for a 1080p display to maximize your frame rate? Here are the best models!

About The Monitor

The ViewSonic XG2431 was the first gaming monitor to receive the Blur Busters Approved 2.0 certification for its PureXP backlight strobing technology which implies superior performance, firmware updates and more.

Image Quality

Panel-related specifications include a 400-nit peak brightness, a static contrast ratio of 1,000:1, 8-bit color depth support, 1ms GtG response time speed and the standard sRGB color gamut.

So, you’re getting the same viewing experience as with the other ~24″ 1080p 240Hz IPS gaming monitors. It’s when we get to its impeccable MBR performance that things start to get interesting.

The ViewSonic XG2431 supports AMD FreeSync with a 48-240Hz VRR range and offers stable VRR performance with NVIDIA cards.

Other gaming features are pretty standard and include pre-calibrated picture presets and Black Stabilization (for better visibility in darker games).

Its main feature, of course, is the PureXP backlight strobing technology approved and pre-tuned by Blur Busters, who popularized and helped develop Motion Blur Reduction in gaming monitors.

Backlight strobing on 240Hz monitors is most efficient when the display is set between 100Hz and 144Hz as there’s less strobe crosstalk (double images) than at 240Hz.

Note that a 240Hz monitor will have better MBR performance at 144Hz than a 144Hz display strobing at 144Hz, so the monitor’s high refresh rate isn’t going to waste here.

Now, when you set the ViewSonic XG2431 to 120Hz, enable PureXP, and ensure you’re getting ~120FPS (either by using V-SYNC or capped frame rates), you’ll get an incredible CRT-like motion clarity with no blur behind fast-moving objects.

It also supports strobing from 60Hz up to 240Hz and offers plenty of customization, allowing you to tune it just right for your preference.

What’s more, thanks to the monitor’s high peak brightness and vibrant colors, the image quality will also be excellent!

Design & Connectivity

The ViewSonic XG2431 has a fully ergonomic stand with up to 120mm height adjustment, -5°/15° tilt, +/- 90° swivel, 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, a headphone jack, two 3W integrated speakers and a dual-USB 3.0 hub.

About The Monitor

BenQ’s Zowie gaming monitors are often the choice of professional players and various eSports tournaments; there are good reasons for that, too!

Features

The BenQ XL2546X is based on a TN panel with inferior image quality and narrower viewing angles in comparison to IPS panels.

So, why is the XL2546X almost double the price of the ViewSonic XG2431?

Well, it’s mainly due to its exclusive gaming features, most importantly, the DyAc 2 (Dynamic Accuracy) backlight strobing technology.

This Motion Blur Reduction implementation is much better than that of most monitors. First of all, it has a minimal picture brightness toll allowing you to enjoy a bright picture quality.

Secondly, there’s minimal strobe crosstalk up to 240Hz strobed, so there won’t be any prominent double images or other distractions. The monitor’s TN panel also has a bit faster pixel response time speed, resulting in zero trailing behind fast-moving objects.

Indeed, the XL2546X resembles CRT displays when it comes to motion clarity due to the absence of motion blur, trailing and overshoot paired with low input lag.

Other gaming features include the S. Switch device which allows you to remotely make some quick adjustments to monitor settings, Black eQualizer (improves visibility in darker scenes), FreeSync up to 240Hz and Color Vibrance (color saturation presets).

There’s also the ‘XL Setting to Share’ feature which allows for easy import/export of the monitor’s settings among users.

Design & Connectivity

The stand is designed with professional gaming in mind as it doesn’t take up a lot of desk space yet it’s sturdy and allows you to place your keyboard close to the screen.

You also get extensive ergonomic support with up to 155mm height adjustment (with precise positioning), -5°/35° tilt, +/- 45° swivel and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Along with the monitor, you also get the S. Switch device for quick and remote OSD-related tweaks and shading flaps to minimize distractions. Connectivity options include three HDMI 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.2 and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

• BenQ XL2546K – the previous version of this monitor with DyAc+, which has a bit of strobe crosstalk, but still a good performance at a bit lower price

Best 1440p 240Hz Gaming Monitors

Want a higher resolution display for mixed-use? Check out the best 1440p 240Hz gaming monitors!

About The Monitor

If you want a 24″ gaming monitor for competitive gaming with a higher screen resolution, the Titan Army P2510S is for you!

Image Quality

The Titan Army P2510S offers a high pixel density of 120 PPI thanks to the 1440p QHD resolution being displayed on its 24.5″ viewable screen. As a result, you get crystal-clear details and text!

Moreover, it has a wide 95% DCI-P3 gamut coverage for vibrant colors, a decent 300-nit peak brightness and a typical contrast ratio of 1,000:1.

You also get the standard gaming features, such as VRR up to 240Hz, Shadow Boost, Color Vibrance, crosshair overlays and on-screen timers.

Check out our full Titan Army P2510S review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor is tilt-only, but the screen is VESA mount compatible via the 100x100mm pattern.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

In case it’s not available, you’ll have to settle with a model with a lower 165Hz refresh rate and no wide color gamut, the Koorui GP01.

There are two more 24″ 1440p 165Hz IPS models, the AOC Q24G2A and the Philips 24M1N5500Z, but these aren’t available in the US.

About The Monitor

If you’d rather have a 1440p 240Hz IPS gaming monitor, check out the HP Omen 27qs!

Image Quality

The HP Omen 27qs uses an IPS panel with a wide 95% DCI-P3 gamut (~130% sRGB size) for lifelike colors.

Next, it has a decent 400-nit peak brightness, which is more than enough for SDR content, but the HDR viewing experience is not as immersive. The HP Omen 27qs has VESA’s entry-level DisplayHDR 400 certification.

The 1ms pixel response time speed efficiently eliminates all trailing behind fast-moving objects, though you will need to adjust the overdrive setting depending on your frame rate for optimal performance.

FreeSync is supported for tear-free gameplay up to 240FPS and VRR performance is smooth when using compatible NVIDIA GPUs.

There’s also a backlight strobing technology called MPRT available.

Other features include various picture presets, Black Stretch, a refresh rate tracker and on-screen crosshairs.

Check out our HP Omen 27qs review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The HP Omen 27qs has a height-adjustable stand (up to 100mm) as well as tilt support (-5°/20°), 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a headphone jack, a dual-USB 3.0 hub and built-in 2W speakers.

Alternatives

There are a few alternatives based on the same panel, though the HP Omen 27qs usually offers the best value for money.

• LG 27GR83Q – no MBR
• ASUS VG27AQML1A – MBR
• Gigabyte M27Q-X – built-in KVM
• MSI G274QPX – with USB-C (DP Alt Mode, 65W Power Delivery)
• Gigabyte GS27Q-X – cheapest model but it has a tilt-only stand and not as wide color gamut. It does support MBR though

Keep in mind that you can also find 1440p 360Hz gaming monitors nowadays, such as the ASUS PG27AQN, with even faster response time and excellent MBR implementation, though they are more expensive.

There are 300Hz models available too, such as the ASUS XG27AQMR, but we find that the extra 60Hz is not worth $200+ more.

About The Monitor

Want a 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor with a 32″ flat-screen panel? The Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q-X is for you!

Image Quality

The 1440p resolution results in a lower pixel density on 32″ sized screens, so the image won’t be as sharp on the Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q-X as it is on 27″ 1440p displays, but the bigger screen can offer a more immersive gaming experience.

Next, the monitor has VESA’s DisplayHDR 600 certification, so the HDR image quality is a bit better as you get a higher 600-nit peak brightness and 16 dimming zones, while the 98% DCI-P3 color gamut ensures vibrant and saturated colors.

Keep in mind that this is still not ‘true’ HDR support, which requires either an OLED panel or a full-array local dimming solution with hundreds or thousands of dimming zones.

The monitor also supports Aim Stabilizer-Sync, which allows you to use VRR and MBR simultaneously up to 240Hz (or 270Hz when factory-overclocked). You get the standard gaming features as well, including crosshair, timers, a refresh rate tracker, Black Qualizer and Color Vibrance.

Design & Connectivity

The Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q-X has a sturdy stand with up to 130mm height adjustment, +/- 20° swivel, -5°/21° tilt, 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

At the back of the monitor, you will find two HDMI 2.1 ports with 24 Gbps and DSC, DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 18W PD, a dual-USB 3.0 hub, built-in KVM, a headphone jack (with ESS Sabre HiFi support), a microphone jack with active noise canceling and an audio line-out port.

About The Monitor

The KTC H27E22 is one of the rare 1440p 240Hz flat-screen VA gaming monitors with a rapid 1ms GtG response time speed!

Image Quality

If you want a 240Hz display that’s both fast and has a high contrast ratio, the KTC H27E22 is for you!

Its VA panel has a fast 1ms GtG response time, a high 2,500:1 contrast ratio, a strong 400-nit peak brightness and a ~90% DCI-P3 wide gamut coverage for vibrant colors.

VRR is supported up to 240Hz, but some units are susceptible to VRR brightness flickering in in-game menus, loading screens and games with fluctuating frame rates.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers full ergonomic support with up to 130mm height adjustment, +/- 90° pivot, +/- 45° swivel, -5°/20° tilt and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a USB-C port with DP Alt Mode, three downstream USB-A ports and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

• KTC H27E22S – the same monitor but without an ergonomic stand or as extensive connectivity options for a (usually) lower price.
• Samsung Odyssey G6 – with a 1000R curved panel and built-in Tizen smart OS, however, it’s a lot more expensive

About The Monitor

If you want a larger 1440p 240Hz VA gaming monitor, we recommend the KTC H32S25E!

Image Quality

The KTC H32S25E boasts a wide 90% DCI-P3 gamut coverage for vibrant colors, a decent 350-nit peak brightness and a high 4,000:1 contrast ratio for deep blacks.

It also offers plenty of features, including VRR and MBR support up to 240Hz, and the usual gaming tools (Black Equalize, crosshair overlays, etc.).

Sadly, its pixel response time speed isn’t quite as fast as that of the KTC H27E22, so there’s minor ghosting noticeable in dark scenes of fast-paced games, but most users will find it tolerable.

Check out our in-depth KTC H32S25E review for more details.

Design & Connectivity

The design of the monitor includes a steep 1000R curvature which matches the curvature of the human eye for added immersion, though some people might find that the curvature is too aggressive.

The stand is tilt-only, but the screen is VESA mount compatible via the 100x100mm pattern.

Connectivity options include two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, two HDMI 2.0 ports (max 144Hz at 1440p), a headphone jack and a USB hub for service and firmware updates.

Alternatives

• Samsung Odyssey G6 – with a 1000R curved panel and built-in Tizen smart OS, however, it’s a lot more expensive

If you want a flat-screen 32″ 1440p 240Hz VA monitor, there are the AOC AG325QZN and AOC Q32G111ZNE models, but they aren’t available in the US. You can get a lower refresh rate model though, such as the LG 32GN650 with 165Hz.

About The Monitor

The ASUS XG27AQDMG is the best 240Hz gaming monitor with the standard 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio!

However, we recommend getting the MSI MAG 271QPX – it’s a 27″ 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitor with a higher 360Hz refresh rate for a lower (or similar) price.

Image Quality

Thanks to its OLED panel, each pixel produces its own light and can be individually turned off completely for true blacks. This makes for an infinite contrast ratio with no backlight bleeding, haloing, glowing or other LED-backlit-related visual artifacts.

What’s more, OLED panels have instantaneous pixel response time speed for zero ghosting behind fast-moving objects.

The XG27AQDMG also offers exceptional HDR image quality thanks to its wide 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and a high 1300-nit peak brightness for small HDR highlights. The brightness is a bit lower for smaller white windows (750-nits for 10% and 275-nits for 100%), but you still get true HDR support!

In SDR, the peak brightness is limited to 275-nits, which is plenty bright under normal lighting conditions.

The main downside of OLED panels is the risk of permanent image burn-in, but the XG27AQDMG has plenty of built-in feature that prevent it, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

Another downside is the WBGR subpixel layout that causes minor fringing on small text and fine details. This isn’t noticeable in games and videos, but if you plan on doing a lot of productivity work, it might bother you a little bit.

VRR is supported up to 240Hz for tear-free gameplay and you get plenty of gaming features, such as crosshair overlays, on-screen timers and Shadow Boost. It even supports BFI (Black Frame Insertion, OLED’s version of backlight strobing) up to 120Hz for smoother motion clarity at 120FPS.

Be sure to check out our XG27AQDMG review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The ASUS XG27AQDMG has a sturdy stand with up to 120mm height adjustment, -5°/20° tilt, +/- 45° swivel, +/- 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. There’s also RGB lighting at the back of the monitor.

The screen has a glossy finish, which makes for a more vivid image quality as there no graininess associated with matte anti-glare coatings, however, it also means that the screen is a bit more reflective.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, DP 1.4 with DSC, a dual-USB 3.0 hub and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

There are many monitors using the same W-OLED panel with different design, features, connectivity options, warranty and pricing.

Best UltraWide 240Hz Gaming Monitors

Want an ultrawide display for extra immersion? Check out the best 240Hz models!

About The Monitor

Do you want an immersive gaming experience, while at the same time keeping the fluidity of 240Hz? There’s the Samsung Odyssey G95C!

Image Quality

Here’s the deal: this behemoth of a monitor has a 49″ sized screen with a 5120×1440 Dual Quad HD resolution. That’s equivalent to two 27″ 1440p monitors side by side, but without the gap in between them!

The Samsung G9 is based on a VA panel with a steep 1000R curvature, 2,500:1 contrast ratio, wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut and rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time.

Additionally, it has a higher peak brightness of 1,000-nits for even punchier highlights in HDR content.

VRR is supported up to 240Hz, but the common VRR brightness flickering issue with VA panels is present.

Gaming features such as custom crosshair overlays, Black Equalizer and various picture presets are available as well.

Design & Connectivity

The design of the monitor includes a steep 1000R curvature for added immersion and RGB lighting at the back of the monitor.

You can elevate the screen up to 120mm, tilt it by -5°/15°, swivel by +/- 15°, or VESA mount it (100x100mm).

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a headphone jack and a dual-USB 3.0 hub.

Alternatives

For $900, we highly recommend getting an OLED ultrawide display instead, such as the Samsung Odyssey G93SC for a much better image quality and smoother performance – unless you’re too concerned about burn-in or aren’t interested in HDR image quality.

About The Monitor

The newer Odyssey Neo G9 model improves upon the original model by implementing a 2048-zone full-array local dimming solution for superior HDR image quality.

Image Quality

For the most part, the Neo G9 is similar to the older version. You get the same 49″ 5120×1440 1000R curved screen with a high 240Hz refresh rate and a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed for both immersive and responsive gameplay.

However, the Neo G9 has 2048 dimming zones that can individually dim parts of the screen where the image is supposed to be dark without greatly affecting parts that should remain bright, thus significantly boosting the contrast ratio.

Moreover, it’s capable of reaching up to 1,000-nits of brightness for small window sizes, delivering a true HDR experience with deep blacks and bright highlights.

It supports FreeSync with a 96-240Hz VRR range and its overdrive is a bit better optimized for less overshoot at high frame rates. While there’s no official G-SYNC Compatible certification (yet), VRR works well with NVIDIA GPUs.

Other features include PiP/PbP, Black Equalizer, crosshair overlays and various picture presets.

Design & Connectivity

The stand is quite robust and offers height adjustment up to 120mm, -5°/15° tilt, +/- 15° swivel and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, two HDMI 2.1 ports (limited to 144Hz), a headphone jack and a dual-USB 3.0 hub.

Alternatives

Keep in mind that you can get the MSI MPG 341CQPX for as low as $720. It has a 34″ 3440×1440 240Hz panel, but uses QD-OLED technology for significantly better HDR image quality and smoother performance.

Samsung offers a 32″ 4K 240Hz curved gaming monitor with a 1096-zone mini LED FALD backlight, the Neo G8. However, it has noticeable scanline issues.

The Neo G7 has a lower 165Hz refresh rate, but no such issue and it’s also more affordable. Considering how demanding it is to drive 4K 240Hz, we find that the Neo G7 is a lot better option.

About The Monitor

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G95NC is a beefed-up version of the G95NA model.

Image Quality

The G95NC has a larger 57″ panel with a higher 7680×2160 resolution to back it up. It’s basically equivalent to two 32″ 4K displays side by side without the bezels in between!

It has a 2392-zone mini LED FALD solution for excellent backlight control, a high 1300-nit peak brightness and a wide 95% DCI-P3 color gamut.

VRR is supported up to 240Hz for tear-free gameplay and the monitor has a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed.

Note that the RTX 40-series GPUs don’t support the maximum resolution of this monitor – they’re limited to 120Hz at 7680×2160, whereas AMD’s 7000-series cards support 240Hz.

However, even with the RTX 4090, you won’t be able to get over 120FPS at 7680×2160 with decent picture settings in most games. So, you can think of this monitor as an investment for your future GPU upgrades.

Check out our full G95NC review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor offers height adjustment up to 120mm, -5°/12° tilt, +/- 15° swivel and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. There’s also a steep 1000R screen curvature for added immersion.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 2.1, three HDMI 2.1 ports, a headphone jack, two USB-A and two USB-B ports for the built-in KVM.

About The Monitor

Want an ultrawide monitor with an OLED panel, the MSI MPG 341CQPX is an exceptional option!

Image Quality

The monitor uses Samsung’s QD-OLED panel, which provides you with a wider 99.3% DCI-P3 color gamut and a higher color luminance (colors are brighter) in comparison to LG’s W-OLED panels. The MSI 341CQPX has an sRGB color space volume of 165% as opposed to 145% of W-OLED panels.

As a result, you get a higher perceived brightness even though LG’s W-OLED MLA+ panels have a specified 1300-nit peak brightness, whereas the MSI 341CQPX reaches 250-nits for 100% APL, 450-nits for 10% APL and 1000-nits for < 3% APL.

The 34″ 3440×1440 ultrawide form factor is also very popular – it’s basically a 27″ 2560×1440 monitor with ~33% extra width for added immersion thanks to the extended field of view.

The panel has a triangular RGB subpixel layout, so some minor green and magenta fringing will be noticeable on small text and fine details, but it’s not as obvious as the red/green fringing on W-OLED RWBG panels.

Check out our in-depth MSI MPG 341CQPX review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The monitor’s stand is robust and offers height adjustment up to 100mm, -5°/20° tilt, +/- 30° swivel and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

It has a glossy screen surface, so the image is more vivid as there’s no added graininess associated with matte anti-glare coatings. However, the screen also has mirror-like reflections and there’s no polarizer, so blacks will be raised under direct lighting. The screen also has a moderate 1800R curvature for added immersion.

Connectivity options include DP 1.4 with DSC, two HDMI 2.1 ports with full 48 Gbps, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 98W PD, a dual-USB 3.0 hub and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

There are also 34″ 3440×1440 240Hz W-OLED gaming monitors available, such as the ASUS PG34WCDM and the LG 34GS95QE.

While they offer a higher white luminance, their W-OLED panel has more noticeable fringing issues, not as high color volume and gamut and a steep 800R screen curvature. They are, however, also available as 39″ 3440×1440 240Hz variants, such as the LG 39GS95QE, which we’ll get into next.

About The Monitor

If you want a larger ultrawide OLED display, the LG 39GS95QE is for you!

Image Quality

Now, the LG 39GS95QE has the same 3440×1440 resolution as the 34″ sized screens, so you’ll have a lower pixel density of 95 PPI (pixels per inch).

Further, it uses LG’s W-OLED panel with the old RWBG subpixel layout, resulting in noticeable fringing on small text and fine details, but this isn’t noticeable in games and videos.

The panel boasts MLA+ support for higher white luminance of up to 1300-nits for < 3% APL, 800-nits 10% APL and 275-nits for 100% APL, while the color gamut is standard for W-OLED panels with 98.5% DCI-P3 coverage. Overall, the image quality is excellent though a bit less vibrant than that of QD-OLED panels.

As there are no 39″ QD-OLED variants available, the 39GS95QE is your best option if you want a larger ultrawide display. Alternatively, consider waiting for the 2025 models with 45″, 39″ and 34″ 5120×2160 240Hz W-OLED RGWB models.

Other features include hardware calibration, VRR up to 240Hz, PiP/PbP, Black Stabilizer, on-screen timers, a refresh rate tracker and crosshair overlays.

Check out our LG 39GS95QE review for more details.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers a good range of ergonomics, including up to 120mm height adjustment, +/- 10° swivel, -10°/15° tilt and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

The screen has a steep 800R curvature for added immersion and a bit heavier matte anti-glare coating that adds some graininess to the image (mainly noticeable on solid colors) but it efficiently prevents reflections.

Connectivity options are abundant and include DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, two HDMI 2.1 ports with full 48 Gbps bandwidth, a headphone jack (with DTS Headphone:X support) and a dual-USB 3.0 hub.

Alternatives

• ASUS ROG Swift PG39WCDM – ASUS’ model based on the same panel with KVM, USB-C (90W Power Delivery, DP Alt Mode), BFI up to 120Hz and a better 3-year burn-in warranty. It’s a lot more expensive at $1,500, whereas the 39GS95QE model can be found for as low as ~$900.

About The Monitor

Don’t want to deal with blooming on super-ultrawide FALD displays? Check out the MSI MPG 491CQPX, a super-ultrawide monitor with an OLED panel!

Image Quality

The MSI MPG 491CQPX has a 49″ 5120×1440 240Hz panel with a more subtle 1800R screen curvature than the previous 1000R models.

Further, it uses Samsung’s QD-OLED panel with superior color gamut and brightness performance than that of LG’s W-OLED panels with 99% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, higher color volume (brighter colors) and a high 1000-nit peak brightness for small HDR highlights and up to 250-nits for a 100% white window.

The monitor also supports VRR up to 240Hz and uses the second-gen QD-OLED panel with reduced subpixel layout issues regarding text clarity.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor offers height adjustment up to 100mm, +/- 30° swivel, -5°/20° tilt and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

It uses the same screen coating as other QD-OLED panels, meaning that the image is more vivid, but also more reflective, and it has a moderate 1800R screen curvature for extra immersion.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 98W PD, a dual-USB 3.0 hub and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

• MSI MPG 491CQP – the cheaper model with 144Hz
• Samsung OLED G9 – Samsung’s model that’s usually more expensive yet doesn’t have USB-C or KVM

About The Monitor

Interested in an even larger 21:9 ultrawide display? Check out the LG 45GS95QE!

Image Quality

The LG 45GS95QE uses a W-OLED MLA+ panel, so the colors and brightness won’t be as impressive as that of QD-OLED panels, but you still get an excellent 98% DCI-P3 gamut coverage and a peak brightness of 1300-nits for small HDR highlights and up to 275-nits for a 100% white window in SDR.

Sadly, it uses the older WBGR subpixel layout, so there will be some noticeable fringing on small text and fine details, though this isn’t a big issue in videos and games.

The main downside of the LG 45GS95QE is that its 3440×1440 resolution is a bit too low for its 45″ sized screen. You get a pixel density of roughly 83 PPI (similar to that of 27″ 1080p monitors), so it’s mainly intended for gaming and watching videos, though it can still be used for productivity work and basic content creation.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers a good range of ergonomics, including up to 120mm height adjustment, +/- 10° swivel, -1°/15° tilt and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a dual-USB 3.0 hub and a headphone jack with DTS Headphone:X support.

Alternatives

The LG 45GR95QE is the older version of this monitor. It can be found for $1,000, but it has notably lower brightness performance (similar to the Xeneon Flex).

The LG 45GS96QB uses the same panel as the 45GS95QE, but has a different design, dual 7W integrated speakers and a USB-C port with DP Alt Mode and 65W Power Delivery. Usually, it’s $100 more expensive than the 45GS95QE.

There’s also the LG 45GX950A monitor with a 5120×2160 165Hz 800R curved W-OLED panel with RGWB subpixel layout for sharp text and 2560×1080 330Hz Dual Mode.

Best 4K 240Hz Gaming Monitors

Here are the best 4K 240Hz models currently available.

About The Monitor

If you want a 240Hz gaming monitor with a high 4K UHD resolution, you’re going to need quite a powerful setup to put the display to good use. The MSI MAG 321UPX is one of the best options available thanks to its excellent value for price.

Image Quality

The MSI MAG 321UPX is based on Samsung’s 32″ 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panel, so you get that exceptional color vibrancy with 99.3% DCI-P3 color space coverage, while maximum brightness amounts to 250-nits for 100% APL, 450-nits for 10% APL and 1000-nits for < 3% APL.

Next, the monitor uses a newer panel with a diamond-shaped subpixel layout, which in combination with the display’s high 140 PPI pixel density eliminates the issue of fringing on small text and fine details.

Other specifications include VRR support up to 240Hz and standard gaming features, such as crosshair overlays, a refresh rate tracker, on-screen timers and Night Vision.

Check out our MSI MPG 321URX review for more details – it’s the same monitor, but offers a higher USB-C PD of 90W and has a built-in USB hub / KVM switch at a bit higher price.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor offers a good range of ergonomics, including up to 110mm height adjustment, -5°/15° tilt, +/- 30° swivel, +/- 10° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

The screen has the same glossy screen finish as the MSI MPG 341CQPX, meaning that the image is more vivid, but also more reflective.

Connectivity options include DP 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 15W PD and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

There are a lot of monitors based on the same QD-OLED panel to choose from. Pricing and availability will vary across different regions, so pick whichever is the most affordable or has the features that you need. The image quality and performance are basically identical between these models.

Note that there are also cheaper 32″ 4K 165Hz QD-OLED models, such as the MSI MGA 321UP.

About The Monitor

The ASUS PG32UCDP is another 32″ 4K 240Hz gaming monitor worth considering!

Image Quality

If you play a lot of competitive FPS games, the PG32UCDP might suit you better thanks to its 1080p 480Hz mode!

With a press of a button, the screen can change between 4K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz modes, allowing you to choose resolution for graphically oriented games and refresh rate for fast-paced shooters and racing titles.

Of course, since the 1080p resolution is displayed on a large 32″ sized screen and since it’s not a native resolution, the image will be a bit blurry, but this isn’t that noticeable in games, especially if you push the screen a bit further away from you.

In addition, the PG 32UCDP supports VRR up to 240Hz and BFI up to 120Hz for smoother motion clarity.

Using BFI at 120Hz provides you with the same motion clarity as native 240Hz, which is ideal for consoles and games where you can’t get over 120FPS – the downside is that you get lower brightness and can’t use VRR at the same time.

Other features include crosshair overlays, on-screen timers, Shadow Control, a refresh rate tracker and more. Check out our full PG32UCDP review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor offers height adjustment up to 110mm, +/- 15° swivel, -5°/20° tilt and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility. The screen has a matte anti-glare coating that adds a bit of graininess to the image (mainly noticeable on solid colors), but efficiently prevents reflections.

Connectivity options include DP 1.4 with DSC, two HDMI 2.1 ports with full 48 Gbps bandwidth, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 90W PD, three downstream USB-A 3.0 ports, a headphone jack and SPDIF.

Alternatives

• LG 32GS95UE – LG’s model based on the same panel, however, it doesn’t have USB-C, KVM nor ELMB. Moreover, its burn-in warranty is only 2 years

If you’re interested in a 480Hz OLED display, but don’t want to deal with the big 32″ screen and blurry image, check out the ASUS PG27AQDP with a 27″ 1440p 480Hz OLED panel and BFI support.

Conclusion

Did you find the perfect 240Hz gaming monitor?

Feel free to leave us a comment below if you’re not sure which one to pick, and we’ll help you out!

Overall, the MSI MPG 341CQPX is one of the best gaming monitors currently available for the price, but if you’re after something with a higher resolution or a larger screen, the other mini LED and OLED displays are definitely worth considering too.

For competitive gaming, we find that most users will be happy with the ViewSonic XG2431 – or the BenQ XL2546X if you want brighter MBR performance.

For all-around use, the HP Omen 27qs offers particularly good value for the money, especially if you catch it on sale for ~$300.
