Prime Day FAQs

Which features should you look for in a monitor?

Monitors come in various sizes with a range of resolution options and features. Which features are right for you depends on how you plan to use your monitor.

Most office users who only need a monitor for work, browsing the web, and basic productivity tasks will likely be satisfied with a simple 1080p HD monitor that has a 60Hz refresh rate. Screen size is up to you, but 24 inches is the standard these days, with 27 inches offering a nice bump in screen space.

Gamers, multimedia enthusiasts, and photo editors will want to consider monitors with larger 27- or 34-inch screens, higher resolution QHD or 4K displays, support for a wide color gamut, and features like high dynamic range (HDR) to deliver the best image quality.

In addition, hardcore gamers will want to look for monitors with low input lag, a fast refresh rate of 144Hz or higher, and VRR (variable refresh rate) technology like AMD FreeSync to achieve the smoothest gameplay. Some gamers may also want to consider an ultra-wide panel that can expand the image further to the left and right on supported games. Those planning to connect their monitor to a console like a PS5 or Xbox Series X should also ensure that the model they choose has an HDMI 2.1 port to enable the best video signal.

What is an OLED monitor?

Most computer monitors use panels based on LCD (liquid crystal display) technology. However, some high-end monitors from brands like Samsung, LG, and Alienware are now available with OLED panels. If a monitor has an OLED display, it will be clearly stated in its product listing. OLED stands for organic light emitting diode, and this technology enables some key benefits over LCDs.

Each pixel in an OLED display can illuminate or dim without needing a backlight, unlike LCDs, which gives OLED displays much better contrast than even the best LCD monitors. OLED displays also have pixel-level HDR highlight control, perfect black levels that can disappear into a dark room, wide viewing angles, and low input lag. These features make high-end OLED monitors ideal for gamers and viewers who want a premium entertainment experience.

However, OLED monitors tend to have dimmer full-screen brightness than top LCDs. OLEDs are also technically susceptible to an issue called burn-in. This problem can occur in extreme situations if a static image is left on the screen for hours on end. When burn-in occurs, a faint ghost image gets stuck permanently on the screen. Thankfully, OLED monitors are designed with pixel-shift features and optimized heat management to prevent this. Likewise, some companies like Alienware even provide warranties that include burn-in coverage. If this is a concern, make sure to read each brand's warranty details before you make a purchase.

Considering all that, we think OLED monitors are best suited for people who primarily want to use their display for mixed gaming and movie-watching. We don't recommend OLED displays for office users who spend several hours at a time using the same productivity apps with lots of static elements and fixed icons on the screen.

What are the benefits of a high refresh rate?

The refresh rate of a monitor specifies how many times the display can update (or refresh) its image on-screen per second. For example, a 60Hz monitor can show 60 frames per second, while a 120Hz monitor can display 120 frames per second.

In practice, a high refresh rate can make gameplay look smoother if your PC is capable of outputting games at high frame rates.

Generally, entry-level gaming monitors offer a refresh rate of at least 144Hz, while high-end options offer refresh rates of 360Hz or higher. However, some monitors can only achieve certain refresh rates when output at certain resolutions.
