A true video game enthusiast absolutely cannot do without hardware worthy of the name. We are talking about a package that includes various peripherals, but the role of the monitor still remains central today, to obtain a truly engaging and immersive gaming experience. Precisely for this reason, today we will discover together what features a high-performance gaming monitor should have, also suitable for pro players.
Screen resolution
The screen resolution represents one of the first evaluation criteria and, to date, excluding the now outdated HD and the much more widespread Full HD, the most advanced options include the so-called Ultra HD, better known as 4K. The models with this resolution offer a definition of 3840×2160 pixels, which guarantees the presence of sharp and detailed images, making them perfect for players who love graphic details. Device like theUltraGear Gaming 4K Monitorthen, they also add other important features, such as a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz and record-breaking image fluidity, for an even more realistic and immersive gaming experience.
Screen technology
Another crucial element is the screen technology, with OLEDs standing out for their superior performance, if you make a direct comparison with LEDs. These screens use organic diodes that emit light autonomously when an electric current passes through them. This allows for perfect blacks and very high contrasts, as each pixel can be turned off individually. In addition, OLEDs have a broad color spectrum and wider viewing angles: these are factors that further improve the visual experience in gaming contexts, where color fidelity and visibility from different angles are often essential
A concrete example of an OLED screen with these characteristics is certainly represented by LG's UltraGear OLED gaming monitors, which recently arrived on the Italian market. With a 240Hz refresh rate and lightning-fast response times, these monitors offer significantly superior image quality, with sharp, true-to-life colors. The monitor is available in 27 and 45 inch versions, the latter also with the addition of a curved display, for an even more engaging gaming experience.
Refresh rate
The update frequency is a factor that we mentioned above, and which requires further investigation. The advice is not to go below 120 Hz, preferring gaming monitors with a higher Hertz range, up to over 144 Hz. The value in question indicates the monitor's ability to refresh the image on the screen up to 144 times per second. The result is the reduction of the so-called motion blur, i.e. the blurring of images that follow one another rapidly on the monitor. In summary, you get significantly superior fluidity, and this makes the difference especially in games like FPS, which require rapid movements and immediate reactions.
Response time (Input lag)
Response time, also known as input lag, indicates how long it takes for a screen to react to a command. In gaming, a short response time is essential to keep the synchrony between the player's action and what is displayed on the screen intact (or almost intact). A response time of around ms is considered excellent for gaming, as it allows quick and timely actions without perceiving delays between the command given and its execution on the screen. Once again, we are faced with an element that is decisive for very dynamic games, especially in pro gaming.
