Some monitor suggestions grouped by their core specs. Each link is to an in-depth review or note about the product. The “speculative” section implies reason to believe the monitor could be good (usually going off the panel used), but lacking in-depth reviews to prove so.
Note: Monitors are not tiered inside the categories and they are not all comparable. As prices and availability vary in different regions, the idea is that you can find what’s actually available for you at your budget and then compare them via the reviews.
LCD #
- Monitors in this category are IPS unless otherwise marked.
- All listed MiniLEDs are VA due to MiniLED IPS having accentuated blooming and glare issues & a general lack of good models outside of that.
- All listed VA monitors constitute as “Fast VA” (TCL CSOT HVA) and often match IPS monitors in response time measurements, but may still exhibit slight trailing in pursuit photos in comparison.
- VA monitors are more susceptible to VRR flicker
- VA monitor response time varies by ambient temperature
