Contrast level, dimensions and resolution, responsiveness or even anti-blue light filters: several criteria deserve to be evaluated when choosing your future gaming screen. In this flourishing market, we find entry-level models below €200, but also much more elaborate models which reach – and even exceed – €500.
The importance of each characteristic will depend on your gaming preferences. For example, for the most demanding, the frequency must be high in order to avoid a too jerky result. Others will favor a maximum number of pixels, for a perfectly sharp and ultra-realistic resolution.
Discover our selection of 4 gaming screens among which you may be able to find what you are looking for.
Samsung Odyssey G5: excellent value for money
This 34-inch curved screen offers a very immersive experience, ideal for enhancing the most captivating games. Its beautiful resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels guarantees an extremely sharp image, associated with superb responsiveness enabled by a frequency of 165 Hz. Including anti-reflection and anti-blue light filters, this screen promises better contrasts through technology HDR10. It has an HDMI port and a display port: sufficient, but to take into consideration if you have more important needs.
Samsung Odyssey G4, an excellent compromise for small budgets
With its resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and its dimensions of 25 inches, this screen, sold for less than €200, is a very good choice for people who want to control their gaming budget. Modular, it can be easily rotated into portrait mode and its height is also easily adjusted with adjustable feet. Including an HDMI port and a display port and boasting a frequency of 240 Hz, this product obviously does not offer the comfort of a high-end product. But the result remains very honest considering the sale price.
IIYAMA G-Master, an interesting alternative
With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a frequency of 165 Hz and a response time of 0.8 ms, this Iiyama gaming screen pleases for its low input latency. It works with a Fast IPS panel and offers a brightness of 250 cd/m2. If its frequency is a little lower than that of the Samsung G4 screen, this model is a little larger (27 inches instead of 25). It’s up to you to choose according to your preferences!
Acer Predator X45, an XXL model for enthusiasts
If you are looking for a gaming screen worthy of professionals, the curved Acer PREDATOR X45 model will certainly please you.
