The best gaming monitors of 2024 from ROG and TUF Gaming

2024 is a great time to buy one of the best gaming monitors and level up your battlestation. Whether you’re looking for the latest and greatest advancements or balling on a budget, our 2024 lineup has a winner custom-tailored to your needs.

We’ll start with our best all-arounder OLED options, move onto some ultra-immersive 32-inch OLED displays, narrow down the top pick for esports gamers, then peek at our most affordable TUF Gaming monitors, before rounding out this guide with a look at some excellent accessible ROG gaming monitors.

The best all-around OLED gaming monitors

If it’s been a few years since you last upgraded your gaming monitor, or if you’re building your first PC gaming rig, these recommendations are for you. Gamers used to have to pick and choose which specs were most important to them, but in 2024 you can grab one display that delivers an incredible experience for any game in your library — and the price tag for said monitor might be lower than you think. Armed with cutting-edge OLED tech, speedy refresh rates, and an enviable set of gaming-first features, these are the all-around excellent monitors that you’re looking for.

For 2024, we’re recommending you check out the ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG and ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG. Both these 27-inch QHD OLED displays offer visual clarity capable of revealing the finer details in your games with stunning crispness, high refresh rates for butter-smooth action, and 0.03ms response times for ultra-clear motion without ghosting. Plus, these are both HDR panels, meaning punchy highlights and vibrant colors will appear in vivid, accurate detail whether you’re playing your favorite game or watching a visually sumptuous movie.

While these two monitors are fairly similar, each has a different claim to fame. The ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG benefits from a glossy WOLED panel that delivers inky blacks and vibrant colors in any environment. On the other hand, if the most-played games in your library are competitive titles like Apex Legends or Counter-Strike 2, the ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG might be more your style. Its extra-fast 360Hz refresh rate was made to boost your command of the action in fast-paced titles, and its semi-glossy QD-OLED panel minimizes distracting reflections while serving up vibrant colors thanks to quantum dot technology.

Either way, you can’t lose. Both 27-inch monitors will comfortably fit on your desk and give you an incredible gaming experience.

The best 32-inch OLED gaming monitors for ultimate immersion

If you’re a gamer or film buff who wants a big, gorgeous HDR-enhanced OLED experience, the 32-inch ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM and ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP are your premium picks in 2024.

This is also our first ROG monitor with Dolby Vision, which provides ultra-accurate HDR in video content, including gaming. Whether you’re basking in the glow of bright, sunny environments or skulking around the dimly lit halls of horror games, you’re in for a visual treat.

And don’t sleep on the versatile ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP, which features a dual-mode WOLED panel that you can run at 4K at 240Hz or Full HD at 480Hz, making it perfect for high-resolution AAA gaming or esports gaming at ultra-high refresh rates. Gamers who like to bounce back and forth between single-player spectacles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and competitive, blink-and-you-lose affairs like Counter-Strike 2 need a monitor that can jump between ultra-sharp graphics and blazingly smooth refresh rates at any given time. For these players, the PG23UCDP offers the best of both worlds, sans compromises.
