GADGET GIZMO SPECIAL.... 8 best monitors to jazz up your PC

8 best monitors to jazz up your PC

These display options stand for ideal specifications and technology, without the need to break the bank

Considering the niche audience conventional PCs maintain to day, there has been a rise in extravagant displays complete with exploratory technologies. Adaptive synchronisation and high refresh rates have inhabited the market, while 4K screens make it possible to embrace the technical prowess of the best graphics. Here's a list of the best monitors money can buy today.

ACER PREDATOR X34
Cinematic monitors are a great alternative to their 4K counterparts for gaming. In fact, you might say they are even better due to their ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio. The Acer Predator X34 certainly looks the part, featuring an eye-catching aluminium bezel and angular, crow's footshape stand.

VIEWSONIC VP2772
With a 2560x1440 resolution, the Viewsonic VP2772 won't dazzle as much as some other lavish 4K screens, but what it lacks in pixels, it excels in colour accuracy. Featuring a palette of 1.07 billion colours and gray scales, covering 99 per cent of the Adobe RGB space, it is both sharp and vibrant.

ACER S277HK
With a 1,000,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a colour gamut of 1.07 billion and a resolution of 3840x2160, the Acer S277HK is good to look at. Unfortunately, because of the way Acer designed it, you can't mount it onto a wall for everyone to appreciate. If you prioritise high pixel density, reasonable cost and `zero frame' over malleability, this is a monitor to shoot for.

ASUS MG248Q
If your PC can't afford 1440p or 4K video, the Asus MG248Q is the next best thing. Despite exhibiting a mere 1080p twisted-nematic (TN-panel), rather than IPS, the Asus MG248Q makes up for any shortcomings with fast response times and adaptive sync.Adaptive sync reduces screen tearing if you have an AMD graphics card.

SAMSUNG UD970
A 4K display that's calibrated for great colour accuracy and image quality, the Samsung UD970 is ideal for designers, CADCAM engineers and videographers who aren't put off by the highprice tag. The matte finish adds to its appeal by giving it a glare-reducing face. Samsung also includes Picture By Picture (PBP) support on the UD970, for multi-tasking scenarios.

PHILIPS BRILLIANCE BDM3490UC
The Brilliance BDM3490UC should be your top pick if you're looking to watch movies or work from home. Its IPS display is bright and inviting. The 21:9 curved display can be a bit disorienting if you're accustomed to flat screen displays. Still, this one takes the cake for gaming. Notably absent, though, are both G-Sync and FreeSync.
AOC AGON AG352UCG
The Agon AG352UCG has a lot in common with the Philips Brilliance monitor. For one, they both share the same 21:9 aspect ratio paired with a resolution of 3440x1440. The main advantage this monitor has is G-Sync, meaning if you're sporting an Nvidia graphics card, you don't have to worry about screen tearing inhibiting your video.

LG 34UC79G
The LG 34UC79G features a sharp, black matte design with ominous red lighting that will match your RGB-backlight peripherals. Rather than packing the 34UC79G with unnecessary pixels and going all the way up to 1440p, LG has kept the resolution to a sensible 2540x1080, which gives you 33 per cent more pixels on the screen compared to 16:9 .
