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.

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.

Monitors usually have lower input lag, higher refresh rates, and faster response times than TVs which make them a better choice for gaming. Here’s a guide to help you make a good decision.

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.

Backlight bleed is characterized as light leaking around the edges or corners of an LCD display. It is fixable in some cases. Here’s a short guide on the topic.

Response time overdrive allows you to push the monitor’s response time speed in order to reduce the trailing/ghosting of fast-moving objects.

Do you like gaming? If you do, the size of a monitor plays an important role in improving your gaming experience. Here is the best monitor size for gaming.

For 1080p 144Hz you will need DisplayPort, Dual-Link DVI, or HDMI 1.3 (or higher), while 1440p 144Hz requires either HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2.

Native G-SYNC implies that the monitor has a dedicated module installed in the monitor while G-SYNC Compatible relies on Adaptive-Sync.

If you’re interested in an ultrawide display, we recommend getting a curved model. For widescreen monitors, it’s a matter of preference.

Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) allows you to manually change your monitor’s FreeSync range, quick and easy.

If you surpass 60FPS in most games and mostly play competitive FPS, go with a 144Hz monitor; otherwise, a 60Hz monitor will do just fine.

What’s IGZO and is it better or worse than IPS? We have made a simple guide, explaining the differences between IGZO and IPS, and which one you should choose.

Motion blur reduction creates CRT-like motion clarity by backlight strobing which is ideal for competitive fast-paced games.

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.

Choosing a new keyboard? You can choose between a mechanical or membrane keyboard. Here’s the ultimate guide to help you make the right decision.

FALD blooming/halo effect occurs when the light from small bright objects bleeds into the surrounding dimmed zones.

G-SYNC synchronizes refresh rates of a monitor (Hz) to the frame rates of a GPU (FPS) in order to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering.

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

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.
