That&#8217;s why we looked for the best options using four questions to guide us: What is the resolution? What is the response time? What type of display is it? Does it have a fair price for the same image quality? Our favorite option came from Sceptre, whose E275B-FWD240 model has full HD, fast response time, and a bargain price. But if you want something with greater immersion, consider the curved 27-inch monitor from AOC, which we review below.

But this 240Hz monitor is more than just reasonably priced; it&#8217;s a downright bargain. It earns its spot at the top of our list with all the gaming-ready specs we could ask for, including FreeSync compatibility, full HD resolution, and both DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. Surprisingly, it also has quality built-in speakers and a height-adjustable stand, so it&#8217;s a versatile display that can be used for streaming shows, video editing, gaming, and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bargain price<\/li>\n<li>Nice and bright<\/li>\n<li>Competitive gaming specs<\/li>\n<li>Supports DisplayPort and HDMI<\/li>\n<li>Easy to adjust the height and angle to your liking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s LED, so the colors aren&#8217;t as vivid compared to those on an IPS screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>AOC Curved Ultra-Fast Gaming Monitor, C27G2Z<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AOC-C27G2Z-Frameless-Ultra-Fast-Adjustable\/dp\/B088LG2BSW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AOC-C27G2Z-Frameless-Ultra-Fast-Adjustable\/dp\/B088LG2BSW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41FV9vKfo1L.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AOC-C27G2Z-Frameless-Ultra-Fast-Adjustable\/dp\/B088LG2BSW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Immersion at its finest<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This wicked-fast monitor has a lightly curved screen to help you get your head in the game.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Curved Screen<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AOC-C27G2Z-Frameless-Ultra-Fast-Adjustable\/dp\/B088LG2BSW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Another affordable 240Hz monitor, this one sports a lightly curved screen to keep you right in the center of the action. The curvature is 1500R, which hits the sweet spot between curved and flat. It&#8217;s something you may have to see to believe, but we genuinely find it offers greater immersion when playing video games. Add to that the full HD resolution, 0.5ms response time, and 27-inch size, and you have yourself one excellent piece of hardware that punches high above its price point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Compatible with FreeSync<\/li>\n<li>Speedy response time<\/li>\n<li>The angle and height can be adjusted<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;frameless&#8221; design adds to the immersion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Because it&#8217;s curved, the ideal viewing angle is limited to the center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Samsung Odyssey G4 Series Gaming Monitor, LS25BG402ENXGO<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-Compatible-DisplayPort-Adjustable-LS25BG402ENXGO\/dp\/B0B45998BM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-Compatible-DisplayPort-Adjustable-LS25BG402ENXGO\/dp\/B0B45998BM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41VF0 ihU4L.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-Compatible-DisplayPort-Adjustable-LS25BG402ENXGO\/dp\/B0B45998BM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">For your viewing pleasure<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This gorgeous monitor has an ultrawide screen and vivid colors to help expand the horizons of your display.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Colors<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-Compatible-DisplayPort-Adjustable-LS25BG402ENXGO\/dp\/B0B45998BM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Compared to LCD and LED screens, IPS screens are generally considered superior when it comes to color depth. Samsung&#8217;s Odyssey G4 Series is no exception. This 1080p monitor offers vivid colors with deep blacks and rich hues. And once you add the HDR10, you&#8217;ll feel like all the colors of the visual spectrum are at your disposal. Of course, it also has excellent specs, including a 1ms response time, an \u201cUltrawide Game View\u201d setting, and a 240Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Useful presets for gaming<\/li>\n<li>Excellent choice for color correction and video editing<\/li>\n<li>Has both HDMI and DisplayPort inputs<\/li>\n<li>Compatible with both G-Sync and AMD FreeSync<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some models in this line have built-in speakers, but this one doesn&#8217;t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Samsung Odyssey G7 Series Gaming Monitor, LC27G75TQSNXZA<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-27-inch-Odyssey-G7-Monitor\/dp\/B088HJ4VQK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-27-inch-Odyssey-G7-Monitor\/dp\/B088HJ4VQK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51WJV0p0xAL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-27-inch-Odyssey-G7-Monitor\/dp\/B088HJ4VQK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Climb the ranks<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">With an extremely fast response time and a WQHD screen resolution, this one is worthy of professional gaming.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best For Competitive Gaming<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-27-inch-Odyssey-G7-Monitor\/dp\/B088HJ4VQK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Competitive gaming requires competitive specs. The Odyssey G7 Series from Samsung offers precisely that: a 1ms response time, a 27-inch curved screen, and a reliable 240Hz refresh rate. But the most impressive part is the WQHD (also known as 1440p) resolution, which helps you hone in on fine details to distinguish a distant rustle in the bushes from an enemy on the move. Ideal for first-person shooters, this high-speed, high-res monitor may just give you a game-winning edge over the competition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Supports HDR 600<\/li>\n<li>Acceptable specs for professional gaming<\/li>\n<li>The curvature of 1000R offers greater immersion<\/li>\n<li>The 1440p resolution is a rarity among 240Hz monitors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Because the curvature is high, at 1000R, there are limited viewing angles and distances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Samsung 49\u201d Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor, LC49G95TSSNXZA<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-49-inch-Odyssey-FreeSync-LC49G95TSSNXZA\/dp\/B088HH6LW5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-49-inch-Odyssey-FreeSync-LC49G95TSSNXZA\/dp\/B088HH6LW5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41Kh 9lFlxL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-49-inch-Odyssey-FreeSync-LC49G95TSSNXZA\/dp\/B088HH6LW5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Far from cheap<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This premium monitor has all the specs and resolution to deliver an unforgettable viewing experience. <\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Premium Pick<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-49-inch-Odyssey-FreeSync-LC49G95TSSNXZA\/dp\/B088HH6LW5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Samsung&#8217;s Odyssey G9 gaming monitor is pretty much as premium as it gets. This massive display offers a gorgeous dual QHD resolution, so it&#8217;s like two 1440p monitors side-by-side. And even with all that screen to illuminate, it still manages to achieve a 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time. That makes it a proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamerevolution.com\/reviews\/the-best-4k-gaming-monitors-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gaming monitor<\/a>, but it&#8217;s an excellent option for computer work, as you can open and view multiple windows simultaneously.

If you were to look down at the monitor from above and extend the curvature out and around into a complete circle, you could then measure the radius of that circle in millimeters. Thus, more extreme curvature leads to smaller circles and, consequently, shorter radiuses. That&#8217;s why 1000R monitors have more extreme curvature than 1500R monitors since their circle&#8217;s radius is shorter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does the refresh rate of a monitor matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">A monitor&#8217;s refresh rate is most important when it comes to gaming. Many modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamerevolution.com\/reviews\/the-best-graphics-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">graphics cards<\/a> can produce extremely high frame rates, but you won&#8217;t get to enjoy those if your monitor&#8217;s refresh rate can&#8217;t keep up. For example, in competitive shooters such as Valorant and Counter-Strike, your very high refresh rate and response time when swinging a corner can mean the difference between losing a round and clutching the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For Monitors with a 240Hz refresh rate are some of the fastest on the market, but there are still some worth praising and others worth avoiding.
