But while 5K and 8K monitors have better image quality they are also significantly more expensive in most cases, and with less support for higher resolutions, they're not always necessary for most everyday monitor needs.

A larger screen can increase productivity by allowing the user to open multiple windows at a time, allowing them to work on different tasks simultaneously. In addition, a larger display can provide a more immersive viewing experience when playing video games or watching movies. Computer Monitor Sizes A computer monitor’s size is important because it affects the user’s experience. It determines how much and how clearly you can view the content on the screen. The correct monitor size can improve your work, gaming, and streaming experiences, whereas the incorrect size can cause discomfort and decrease productivity.

The image will be clearer and more detailed if the resolution is higher. 1080p (Full HD), 1440p (Quad HD), and 2160p (4K Ultra HD) are all common resolutions. Response TimeWhen choosing which 5K or 8K monitor is best for you, there are several key factors at play. Like any of the best monitors, size isn't everything. Like 4K before it, the best 5K and 8K monitors are another big jump in quality, price, and requirements. Ensure that the monitor you select has the required ports for your computer and other devices, such as HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C. Some monitors include USB hubs or other features that facilitate the connection of peripherals.

This is a 50-inch behemoth and by our calculation the one with the cheapest per-inch price we’ve seen. Don’t expect the sort of color reproduction and fidelity or smart features of more expensive models; as there is no HDR here. There are several factors to consider before buying a computer monitor. These factors can affect your viewing experience and your computer’s overall performance. Here are some of the key factors to consider. Resolution It's amazing for gamers with full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth support on all four of its HDMI ports, enabling up to 4k @ 144Hz gaming to stress even the fastest PCs. It supports all variable refresh rate (VTT) technologiesand has low input lag. Unfortunately, like all OLED displays, there's a possibility of permanent burn-in when you expose the TV to static elements, like a PC's user interface. It makes the Samsung LEDsbetter choices overall for PC users, but if you plan on using it mainly for gaming and take a few precautions, like hiding your taskbar, this TV is also a fantastic choice. The best TV to use as a monitor that we've tested is the Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED.It delivers a fantastic desktop experience, with support for HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four HDMI ports, so you can enjoy 4k @ 120Hz (4k @ 144Hz on the 43 and 50-inch models) while still getting clear text with full chroma 4:4:4 support. It has a decently wideviewing angle, so the sides of the screen remain relatively uniform if you're sitting up close, and it has decent gray uniformity. It's even available in a wide range of sizes, meaning you can find the best size for your needs. Note that the 43 and 50-inch models have a worse viewing angle than the bigger models.

Terms & Conditions

If you're looking for the cheapest TV to use as a PC monitor, consider the Samsung CU7000/CU7000D. It displays proper chroma 4:4:4 with extremely low input lag, so you have clear text alongside a very responsive user experience. It doesn't get nearly as bright as the more expensive models, so it's not as well suited for bright rooms. It does have decent reflection handling, so it looks good in a room with a few lights butlooksits best in a dark room due to its okay contrast.

The LG OLED Flex is unique in that it can curve itself; you can use it as a typical flat panel TV or curved in increments up to a 900R curve. However, it's very expensive, only available in a 42-inch size, and has an unremovable stand. While its ability to curve is very welcome when used as a PC monitor, you might be better off just shopping for a curved PC monitor rather than a TV if that's what you're looking for. However, if you work in the photo or video world and are working with 5K or 8K video or photo files, then a 5K or 8K monitor is essential. In our experience, the image quality at these resolutions is absolutely remarkable. Is 5K or 8K better than a 4K monitor? The TCL QM8/QM850G QLED is a fantastic TV and a good alternative to the Hisense U8/U8K for PC monitor use. Unfortunately, the TCL can't output proper chroma 4:4:4 in Game Mode, so you can't have the lowest input lag and clear text simultaneously. A monitor’s size and aspect ratio can affect your viewing experience and desk space requirements. Monitor sizes typically range from 19 to 40 inches, and aspect ratios can range from 4:3 to widescreen 16:9 to ultrawide 21:9. ConnectivityThe main benefits of a 5K or 8K display are the increased picture quality, higher resolution, and sharper visual experience. However, those visuals differences aren't always clear to the naked eye. How to choose the best 5K and 8K monitors for you The best TV for PC monitor use for gamers that we've tested is the Samsung S90C OLED. It delivers a better PC gaming experience than the Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLEDthanks to its nearly instantaneous response time, meaning motion is incredibly smooth and crystal-clear, with no distracting blur behind fast-moving objects. It also has a near-infinite contrast ratio, making it an incredible choice for late-night gaming in a darker room. It also has an even better viewing angle than the QN90C, which is nearly perfect on the S90C; this is great if you like to sit extra close to the TV to immerse in the action fully. Yes - if you're purely focused on resolution. The best 5K and 8K monitors crisply display details that 4K monitors can't match, since these monitors use 4840 x 2160 pixels.
