As mentioned above, the Razer Raptor 27 is our No. 1 pick for the best gaming monitor. While it’s more expensive than some of the other options on our list, this is less of a problem now it’s on sale for this price.

This monitor has a gorgeous display, with a high resolution and fast refresh rate. Even so, the resolution isn’t so high that you’ll need an extremely high-powered PC to make use of it. This means it’s a great monitor for the everyday user.

It has a stylish design, too. The Razer Raptor has small bezels that are almost invisible, and its ports are hidden along the back of the monitor behind the stand. This means cables stay out of sight, without being inaccessible. The stand is non-removable and pretty large, so this monitor will take up a lot of desk space — but the upside is that the monitor is highly adjustable and very sturdy.
