The 6 Best G-SYNC Monitors - Fall 2019
Reviews

The ASUS ROG Swift PG279QZ is the best G-SYNC monitor we've tested so far. It's an excellent gaming display with an extremely fast response time, fast refresh rate, and outstanding low input lag. There are a few great gaming features, including an optional black frame insertion feature to further improve the already great motion performance.

This monitor has great wide viewing angles, decent peak brightness, and good reflection handling, so it looks great in most brightly-lit rooms. The stand has great ergonomics and it can be VESA mounted, which is great for a multi-monitor setup.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look quite as good in a dark room, as blacks appear gray and there can be noticeable backlight bleed. It also has a slightly higher 60Hz input lag than most gaming monitors, which may disappoint some console gamers, although this shouldn't be very noticeable. Overall, this is an excellent gaming monitor.

The Dell Alienware AW3418DW is the best ultrawide G-SYNC gaming monitor we've tested so far. The wide-format, high-resolution screen delivers a more immersive gaming experience, allowing you to see more of your favorite games. The 1900R curve makes this monitor even more immersive, but might not be ideal for everyone.

This monitor has wide viewing angles, decent peak brightness, and great reflection handling. It might not be bright enough for a bright room, but most people shouldn't have any issues. Overall, this is a great gaming monitor, with excellent motion handling and outstanding low input lag, and is a versatile choice, great for almost any usage.

Unfortunately, like most IPS monitors, it doesn't look as good in a dark room, as it has a low contrast ratio and poor black uniformity.

If you want a great gaming monitor with G-SYNC support but don't want to spend too much, the Dell S2417DG is the best G-SYNC monitor in the budget category. It's a great monitor with an extremely fast 144Hz refresh rate. The 24", 1440p screen delivers a crystal clear image that looks great.

It has an excellent response time, extremely low input lag, and an adjustable backlight flicker that can improve motion blur. Like most Dells, it has an excellent stand and simple design that looks great in any situation.

Unfortunately, this monitor is limited by the TN panel which, like other IPS gaming monitors, isn't great in a dark room. Unlike IPS monitors, though, it doesn't have great viewing angles and is best enjoyed by one person from directly in front. Because of these issues, it isn't as versatile as the Dell AW3418DW or the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QZ.
