After several years of innovation only applying to the most expensive of expensive gaming monitors, displays are finally providing a leap forward for gamers.…

Zeke Jones / Digital Trends Input lag and response time might sound like very similar metrics, and it’s true they can both impact how your monitor or TV looks and feels, especially when you’re gaming. But they are very different things, and while you ideally want them to be as low as possible for the best gaming experience, there are different thresholds for what’s considered acceptable for each. And if you take your gaming seriously, one is more important than the other. Here’s how input lag and response time…

Getting a monitor of the right size is an important but tricky business. With 24-inch monitors being the starting point for so many and ultrawide monitors bringing in the hype, if you prefer 27-inch monitors it is easy to feel left out of the limelight. However, as mentioned in our monitor buying guide, though 24-inch monitors are the baseline, 27-inch monitors are increasingly popular. Sometimes that can mean a company redesigns a well-received monitor into a 27-inch version or even makes one special. In any event,…

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Gamers — myself included — have been begging for a 4K OLED gaming monitor for the past year and a half. And at CES 2024, we got exactly what we’ve been looking for.

The big change is LG’s dual refresh rate feature, which allows you to switch to 1080p at 480Hz with a single button. It delivers on a couple of counts — you get resolution when you…

Dell monitors are known for being gentle on the eyes and having great setup options. As a result, it makes sense to consider one for your next monitor, no matter its intended purpose. However, with 70+ current models to choose from and an ever-rotating assortment of Dell monitors passing through our monitor deals collection, it can be hard to choose which one is right for you. It becomes even trickier when you consider how different some buyers are from others — one person might be looking for a bright, QD-OLED…

Luke Larsen / Digital Trends Laptops with foldable screens have been around for years, but a portable monitor might end up being a more approachable use of the technology. At CES 2024, Asus announced the ZenScreen Fold, a 17.3-inch OLED monitor that can fold up into exactly half that size. It looks very similar to the ZenBook Fold 17 launched in 2022, but a little slimmed down in thickness and sporting a silver aluminum chassis. It’s 0.38 inches thick when unfolded (and 0.76 inches when folded) and weighs 2.65…
