How to choose — what our testing shows

1440p high-refresh is the sweet spot

Modern GPUs comfortably drive 1440p past 144–240 fps in most titles, and the jump in sharpness over 1080p is immediately visible. For pure competitive FPS on a budget, a 1080p 240 Hz panel still delivers the highest frame rates per dollar.

Refresh rate vs resolution

Competitive players should prioritise refresh rate (Hz) for smoother motion and lower latency. Players who value visual fidelity in single-player games should lean toward higher resolution and, ideally, an OLED panel for contrast.

FAQ

Common questions

Is OLED burn-in a problem for gaming?

With mixed use and modern panel protections (pixel-shift, compensation cycles), burn-in is no longer a practical concern for most gamers within the warranty period. The real risk case is the same static UI displayed many hours a day, every day.

How many Hz do I need?

144 Hz is a huge upgrade over 60 Hz and plenty for most players. Competitive FPS players benefit from 240 Hz; beyond that, gains are smaller and need a powerful GPU to reach.
