The 6 Best G-SYNC Monitors - Spring 2020
Reviews

The best G-SYNC monitor we've tested so far is the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QZ. With support for a wide range of refresh rates, this is a fantastic gaming monitor. It also has an incredibly low input lag when G-SYNC is enabled and the amazing response time ensures there's little motion blur behind fast-moving objects.

As is the case with most IPS panels, its horizontal viewing angle is superb and the vertical viewing angle is also decent. Unfortunately, the viewing angles come at the cost of a good contrast ratio, which is unremarkable on this monitor. However, it's still one of the best native contrasts that we've tested on an IPS panel so far.

Unfortunately, it doesn't support HDR gaming, but has good SDR peak brightness and decent reflection handling to combat glare in bright rooms. Overall, this is the best G-SYNC gaming monitor we've tested so far.

If you're looking for a more immersive gaming experience, the best ultrawide G-SYNC gaming monitor we've tested so far is the Dell Alienware AW3418DW. It has an IPS panel that helps maintain an accurate image at the screen's edges when you sit up close, and thanks to its high resolution and large size you can see more of your game. It has a low input lag and supports NVIDIA's G-SYNC for nearly tear-free gaming. It has excellent motion handling and most people will find that the curved design offers them a more immersive gaming experience.

Although it can get bright enough for most rooms, it isn't the best choice for a dark room. Just like most IPS panel monitors, blacks aren't uniform and look more like gray when in a dark room.

Overall, this is the best G-SYNC ultrawide monitor, and a great pick if you're a gamer with a compatible NVIDIA video card.

G-SYNC monitors can be expensive; fortunately, there's a cheaper option with the Dell S2417DG, the best budget G-SYNC monitor. It's a great monitor with an extremely fast 144Hz refresh rate. The 24 inch, 1440p screen delivers a crystal clear image that looks great.

The TN panel used in this model offers excellent response time, extremely low input lag, and an adjustable backlight flicker that can further improve motion blur. Unfortunately, like most TN monitors, it also comes with poor viewing angles and poor black uniformity. Because of these issues, it isn't as versatile as the Dell AW3418DW or the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QZ.

Like most Dell monitors, the bezels are thin and stylish, and it comes with an excellent stand. This monitor is worthy of consideration for the budget-conscious.
