Yes, 4K is about high-res gaming (and other media), but you're still going to want solid gaming specs, like a 60Hz-plus refresh rate, low response time and your choice of Adaptive-Sync ( Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync, depending on your system's graphics card). Anyone who's shopped for a 4K monitor before knows that they're not cheap.
With a packed pixel army, you can stretch your screen size well past 30 inches without having pixels so big that you can see them. And the best graphics cards, whether from Nvidia's RTX 30-series or AMD's Radeon RX 6000-series, make a move to 4K even more tempting.īut that image quality comes at a steep price. In addition to being the highest resolution you can find in a good gaming monitor these days, going 4K also offers the ability to expand to bigger displays while still retaining a sharp image.
