On some high refresh rate monitors (mostly VA), FreeSync can sometimes cause brightness flickering with FPS fluctuations. It’s possible to reduce or fix it.

Should you stick with the good old IPS panel or get one of those fancy new OLED panels? We’ll guide you through them both and help you discover which one is the right one for you.

What is Nano IPS and how is different from regular IPS? Let’s find out.

Unsure about whether you should pick a HDR10 or Dolby Vision display? Let’s dive deeper into the similarities and differences between these two technologies.

Whether a 4K monitor is worth it depends on what you will use it for. Read this guide to discover if 4K Ultra HD (UHD) monitors are something for you.

Learn all about common flaws associated with the VA panel technology including VA glow, gamma shift, and black crush.

V-Sync eliminates screen tearing, but it also introduces input lag and limits your FPS rate to the monitor’s max refresh rate.

Ever wonder how some TVs can show images so smooth it feels like a soap opera? That’s called the soap opera effect and here’s how it works.

Screen tearing can really take away from the gaming immersion. Luckily, there are a few ways to make it go away for good.

Resolution is the number of pixels the display can show. The standard 1920×1080 resolution has 1920 pixels horizontally times 1080 pixels vertically.

Pixel walk or pixel inversion occurs due to the display’s alternating positive and negative voltages that can manifest as different visual artifacts.

The aspect ratio is the ratio between the width and height of the screen. Find out what 16:9, 21:9 and 4:3 mean and which one you should pick.

The higher the refresh rate, the better. However, if you cannot get past 144 FPS in games, there’s no need for a 240Hz monitor. Here’s a handy guide to help you choose.

Which panel type is the best — an IPS panel or a PLS panel? Both offer the same advantages and disadvantages, so what’s the difference? Let’s find out.

TVs work differently than monitors so it’s not always better to have higher refresh rates. Here’s a short comparison between 60Hz and 120Hz for TVs.

2560×1440 has 78% more pixels than 1920×1080, but is it always better? This guide will help you pick the right display so you don’t waste any money.

It can be hard to decide if you should go for a 4K monitor or an UltraWide monitor. This guide will help you make the right decision.

You’ve probably seen the terms panel variance and panel lottery thrown around when looking for a new monitor. Find out exactly what they imply and what things you should expect to be different even on two identical monitors.

NVIDIA Fast Sync and AMD Enhanced Sync eliminate screen tearing but with a lower input lag penalty than VSync and with no frame rate limit.

Monitor vignetting occurs due to the panel’s bad brightness uniformity. Sadly, on most monitors, you won’t be able to fix it, only decrease it a bit.
