Top 4K Gaming Monitors 2018

I've been using a 4k screen for a couple of years, but it was a Samsung TV as I wanted a larger screen and nothing in the monitor space yet existed. It was a good experience, I didn't have any issues - regardless of what people say about using TVs as monitors. However, once I noticed that OLED monitors were coming around, I considered going back. I wasn't crazy about dealing with burn-in and the odd ways manufactures try to prevent it. Instead, I wanted to see what Samsung was up to in the gaming monitor space. I came across this and was immediately drawn in because of the high fresh rate and it being 4k. I didn't consider the G8 because I didn't think the even higher refresh rate warranted the extra cost. Once I got the G7 connected, it was like playing games for the first time. Cyberpunk looked incredibly better than my 4k TV, colors popped and I could see details that I couldn't previously. The curvature is a bit odd at first, especially in Windows, but for gaming, I really like it. The high refresh rate was a new experience as well - I hadn't had anything higher than 60Hz, so again it was a new experience. This makes a big different not only in gaming, but using Windows - everything is so smooth. The height adjustment was another helpful feature as I needed it to be in a specific place. Without it, I would have had to use a box or something else unsightly. I'm not an RGB person, but found that I liked messing with the colors and do leave a solid color on most of the time. My only complaint, is the buttons to control the settings. I have some business monitors for work that are also Samsung and they use the same buttons. It's not my favorite and it feels a bit cheap. For an $1100 monitor, I'd expect a bit more, but it's not something I use often. I feel the monitor is on the expensive side, but it is worth it if you have the machine to push high end graphics to it.

I switched from 2 4K monitors to this & love it. I use the dual inputs while working and the entire screen for gaming. More space on the desktop & more immersive gamibg

was debating between a few 4k 144hz monitors and so happy with this one!

New OLED is an upgrade over my 2018 4k television. LG had a nice sale going on too!

We have bought tow of these monitors. For our use which does not include gaming they are perfect for our use.

using cable to connect my two NEC PA272W, 271W monitors to my 2018 MacBook Pro, USC-C ports. NEC monitor calibration software recommends to not use HDMI connection, rather DisplayPort-to-USB-C. This cable does the trick, and calibration result is indeed better than before on HDMI. Cable is longer than the NEC-recommended J5create Displayport-to-USB-C, which comes only in 4 ft/120cm length.

I have been gaming since I broke my hip in 2018. I find it sometime hard not working, however, gaming is a huge passion of mine. This motherboard is the best I have owned, and I build my own computers to suit my needs. It is amazing to me that the board is capable of using 128 GB of RAM. What an amazing motherboard. Thank you ASUS for a great board.

Those who want this to buy for gaming, buy a GAMING MONITOR! This is for art not gaming unlike someone who thinks it's for both. There are HDR gaming monitors out there.

Despite the hefty price tag, I gave it a try because I have had a BenQ Gaming monitors from long ago which lasted till now when I figured its time to upgrade to the newer techs. 165Hz and curvature really made gaming more immersive & oh man, the speakers were really a great addition. Hear for yourself, I never knew speakers would make such a difference in the overall gaming experience. It is premium in build from every angle....despite the price lol, but it's worth it I'd say

Apple TV 4K is excellent for steaming and gaming.
