Best forBudget players who want real HDR and 180 Hz at 1440p
The cheapest way to see real HDR on a 1440p gaming monitor. 336 dimming zones, up to 1,365 nits measured and 180 Hz with low input lag put it well ahead of any edge-lit panel at the price. It blooms around small bright objects, the menu is fiddly, and HDMI tops out at 144 Hz. Buy it for HDR on a budget, not for OLED black.
Best forGamers moving from IPS who want OLED without a flagship bill
The 27GX704A-B is the first OLED gaming monitor we would call a normal purchase. Perfect blacks, near-instant response and 240Hz at 1440p come at a price close to a good IPS panel. It is dim in bright scenes and the glossy coat reflects lamps, so a bright room needs care.
Best forCompetitive players with a high-end GPU in a bright room
The fastest 27-inch OLED you can buy in its class, and the matte coat is a real help in bright rooms. It costs you some black depth by day, the VRR flicker is worse than rivals, and it only pays off if your GPU can feed 300fps or more. At the sale price it is easy to like, at list it is a hard sell.
Best forEsports players who want 500Hz OLED with a USB hub and DP 2.1
This is a fast, colourful 1440p QD-OLED with the best burn-in housekeeping we have seen: a presence sensor, Pixel Shift and a warranty that covers burn-in. The sensor is useful but not perfect. At $799.99 it undercuts the launch price of $900, and it is a better deal than Samsung's list price, though not the cheapest 500Hz OLED.
Best forPC players on a budget who want OLED motion at 1440p
The cheapest QD-OLED gaming monitor that we would still recommend. Motion, contrast and input lag are in the same league as dearer panels, and the three-year burn-in warranty helps. The cuts are real: no HDMI 2.1, no USB-C, modest SDR brightness and a glossy coat that picks up room light.
Best forCompetitive shooter players pushing several hundred fps
The best-moving OLED we know of, and a pure esports tool. A fourth-generation Tandem WOLED gives 540 Hz at 1440p, a brighter HDR peak of about 1,800 nits in TFTCentral's test and a clean glossy finish, backed by a three-year burn-in warranty. At $1,099 it asks you to have frame rates few games reach, and it lacks USB-C, KVM and a matte option.
