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. This feature-packed monitor has a 27 inch screen that feels incredibly immersive and it delivers a sharp image with its 1440p resolution. It has an impressive build quality and great ergonomics, and it has an IPS panel that provides wide viewing angles, so the image doesn't degrade even if you don't have the best viewing position.

This monitor has a decent peak brightness and reflection handling that's suited for an averagely-lit room. In darker settings, blacks tend to look grayish due to its low contrast ratio, which is expected of most IPS panels. Gray uniformity is excellent; however, with almost no sign of dirty screen effect, and it has good color accuracy right out of the box. It has a 144Hz refresh rate that can be overclocked to 165Hz, and of course, it has native G-SYNC support for a nearly tear-free gaming experience.

In addition to its great performance, this monitor comes with a host of extra features, including a USB hub for charging, built-in speakers, and even some RGB lighting on the back of the monitor. All-in-all, this is an excellent G-SYNC monitor with features to satisfy most gamers.

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.
