When you are a heavy gamer, then you definitely need a professional gaming monitor with 4K UHD resolution and 144 Hz frequency. In this article, I want to show you 5 top gaming monitors.
What size Gaming Monitor should I get?
Before we start reviewing gaming monitors, you should think about the size you want your monitor to be. For an immerse experience a 32-Inch Curved Monitor makes sense. 4K UHD resolution on a 32-Inch is not as good as 4K on a 24-Inch monitor, though. 24-Inch and 4K UHD is a killer combination if you seek maximum pixel density.
1. ASUS 4K 144Hz ROG Swift PG27UQ 27″

![Best 4K Gaming Monitor 144 Hz [Top 5 Guide] 2](http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B01LPNKFK0&Format=_SL1000_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=digital0e4-20&language=en_US "Best 4K Gaming Monitor 144 Hz [Top 5 Guide] 4")
The LG 4K UHD is available in 24-Inch and 27-Inch. Both are much cheaper and affordable than the ASUS PG27UQ. But this monitor only comes with 60 Hz which is the main caveat. Therefore, this monitor suits many gamers that want a good gaming monitor but not pay that much money.

- At 250 cd/m2 it’s not on the high end of peak brightness, but not bad either
- 24 Inches 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS monitor. Brightness is 250 cd/m2.Specific uses for product - Business, personal

![Best 4K Gaming Monitor 144 Hz [Top 5 Guide] 3](http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B01LW5CGIS&Format=_SL1000_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=digital0e4-20&language=en_US "Best 4K Gaming Monitor 144 Hz [Top 5 Guide] 6")
The LG 34UC79G-B is a gaming monitor that suits many gamers. It has the right prospects like 4K UHD, 144 Hz, and 34-Inch. This monitor is quite big and gamers should have space for it.
It’s a very competitively designed display that not only looks good but delivers on the best balance of performance, features, and price. Hard to go wrong with this one.

- Menu is the best and easiest you will ever use. Super quick and responsive, tons of controls
- The stand is amazing. very high quality and allows height adjustment with tilt

- You can control some settings for the monitor through your PC with LG app (works through display cable, USB cable not required)
- Is VESA compatible
- 144 Hz
Disavantages
- HDMI stuck at 60hz
- Black stabilizer menu is not in the LG app along with a few other must have adjustments (more of a sad let down than a con)
- You have to use the right displayport cable. It must be a high grade proper displayport cable or this monitor will give you all kinds of motion blur and fuzzy images that will give you a headache and make you think the monitor is no good, text will not be clear
- No speakers, cheaper LG ultrawides have speakers and this comes with none which is kinda crazy
- VESA mount is terrible, it is sunken in and NO they do not have/sell or offer any adapter on any level for you to squeeze and mount in there. Go to your local hardware store and get special spacers and longer mounting screws to solve this problem
