Samsung Odyssey 3D Gaming Monitor costs $1,996:If you really need something next-generation, check out this glasses-free 3D gaming monitor (7/10 Wired recommends). Just like trying VR for the first time, anyone needs to play the game in 3D at some point. Samsung throws Ai-Enhanced conversions into 3D. Enhance this technology future. Although game support is still limited to issues, Samsung has plans to fix it soon.

Benq 27 inch IPS monitor $170: Review Editor Julian Chokkattu says that he bought this monitor with a MacBook and paired it with a great work and has nice colours. A large 27-inch screen combined with a resolution of 1080 pixels means things look a little vague when they’re too close to the monitor, but with normal viewing distance it’s fine. Supports VESA mount standard.

HP VH240A 24 inch IPS monitor $148: Using this monitor’s stand will make the second monitor without hassle when you rotate the screen to portrait orientation (also you can do Vesa Mount). Wired editor Julian Choccut says he bought it for his partner in 2020, but has since grown stronger with a sharp 1080 pixel resolution and a slim bezel. Built-in speakers don’t sound great, so don’t worry about built-in speakers (as is the case with most built-in speakers).

$370 Benq 27-inch QHD HDR monitor: This is a good option for creative professionals who don’t need a 4K screen and need excellent color accuracy. Wired senior editor Michael Carol says the 2K resolution display is gorgeous and has very accurate color reproductions.

ViewSonic 27-inch 2K OLED gaming monitor for $950:viewsonic(7/10, wired review) A bright and beautiful 2K OLED screen with an impressive 240 Hz refresh rate. However, the monitor controls may be better.

BENQ PD3225U 4K IPS Monitor $1,200: This 4K monitor is made for Mac in M-Book mode that instantly matches the colors of connected Macs, with many screen settings that can be accessed remotely by Little Puck. It is a beautiful 32 inch screen and adjusting it up or down or side feels very smooth. But it’s an expensive purpose and there are plenty of cheaper options to do similar jobs.
