So, here are the Top 6 Best Monitor Sizes For Gaming Of 2022.

#1. ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM

Larger-sized monitors are the norm now, but smaller models have their benefits and are popular for some uses. 24 and 25 inch monitors offer enough screen space for gaming, and it’s easier to see everything in your field of vision, like maps, during competitive gaming. These monitors are great for fast-paced FPS games but not as good for more immersive ones like adventure or RPG games. Also, a smaller screen results in a higher pixel density, which translates to better text clarity than larger screens with the same resolution.

Most of the models we’ve tested in this size have a 1080p resolution. This relatively low resolution puts a lighter load on the graphics card, allowing it to push out more frames per second. Recent models support refresh rates as high as 360Hz, delivering an incredibly smooth and responsive gaming experience. The downside with a small 1080p screen is that you don’t get much room for productivity, especially for split-screen multitasking.

#2. ASUS ROG Swift PG279QM

Many people will say that 27 inches is the best monitor size for gaming, and that’s because most gaming monitors are available in a 27 inch model. You can find anything from basic 1080p screens to high 4k resolutions, and you can also find monitors with 60Hz refresh rates or with stunning 240Hz refresh rates. 27 inch monitors are good if you want more screen space than a 24 or 25 inch display, and you find 32 inch screens are too big.

There are 27 inch models for different types of gamers. If you’re a PC gamer, you can easily find a 27 inch monitor with a high refresh rate and VRR support to reduce screen tearing, and while most have native FreeSync support, some have native G-SYNC support, too. If you tend to play on a console, there are some 4k options available with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and there are also a few 28 inch models with a 4k resolution if you want something slightly bigger.

#3. Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T

If you want something even larger, 32 inches is the best gaming monitor size as it offers more space while still maintaining the 16:9 aspect ratio. It’s not the most common size, but they have plenty of options to choose from, with a wide range of features, so there’s something for everyone. At this size, you can find models with both 1440p and 4k resolutions, as a 32 inch 4k monitor delivers high pixel density for productivity. You won’t find many 1080p monitors in this size because the pixel density is so low.

With many options to choose from, 32 inch monitors are versatile. 1440p models are available with high refresh rates and fast response times, making them a great choice for fast-paced gaming. With HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0 models starting to hit the market, some high refresh rate 4k models are available but require high-end graphics cards to take full advantage of them, so most people are probably best looking at 1440p models instead.

#4. Dell S3422DWG

Ultrawide monitors are different from standard 24, 27, and 32 inch monitors because they offer more horizontal screen space. It’s great for an immersive gaming experience, as they have a 21:9 aspect ratio, which offers extra screen space on the sides while maintaining the same vertical height, so your eyes have to move side-to-side and not up and down. Most ultrawide monitors have a 34 inch screen size with a 3440×1440 resolution, but there are some 38 inch models with a 3840×1600 resolution instead; those are generally for office use.

Another advantage of an ultrawide screen is that you can open multiple windows side-by-side, which is good if you already have a multi-monitor setup and don’t want to see the bezels. However, ultrawide monitors don’t generally have good ergonomics as you can’t rotate them into portrait mode. Also, gaming consoles don’t support the ultrawide format, so they’re better if you’re a PC gamer and your games support this format.

#5. Samsung Odyssey Neo G9

A super ultrawide monitor is good for those who have multi-monitor setups and would rather get one monitor instead. These monitors are rare, but they have a staggering 32:9 aspect ratio and 49 inch screen size, which is the equivalent of placing two 27 inch monitors side-by-side. Naturally, with a bigger screen, you can achieve a larger resolution. Most super ultrawide monitors have a 5120 x 1440 resolution, the same vertical resolution as a 1440p screen, but with more horizontal pixels.

Since these super ultrawide monitors are so large, they’re curved so that the screen’s edges are easier to see. However, there are often uniformity issues, and due to the larger size, the stands don’t offer much in ergonomics. You’ll need a big desk to place it on, and not all content works with a 32:9 aspect ratio; it’s not a problem if you’re opening multiple windows side-by-side, but you will see black bars at the sides when watching movies or playing certain games.

#6. LG 48 C1 OLED

If you find typical 24, 27, or 32 inch monitors too small, you should look for larger displays. Although you can easily game on a 55 inch TV, you might find that too big for a desk, so monitor manufacturers are starting to release more large-screen monitors in the 40 to 50 inch range. There are LED options with a 43 inch screen like the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U, and there are slightly larger OLEDs at 48 inches. The advantage these sizes bring you is that they maintain the typical 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning you won’t get black bars on the side in certain games like with an ultrawide.

There are a few downsides to this screen size, though. They tend to be expensive, and there aren’t many models available, but they’re growing in popularity. Also, these monitors don’t usually have good ergonomics as they come with fixed stands, so it’s harder to move the screen around to share with a friend for co-op gaming unless you have the desk space to move the entire monitor.
