Best G-Sync monitors:
Editor’s note: We will update this post as more G-Sync monitors are released.
Alienware AW3420DW G-Sync Monitor
The Alienware AW3420DW is definitely one of the best G-Sync monitors, especially for 4K PC gaming. This monitor has a 34-inch 21:9 curved display with a 3,440 x 1,440 resolution. The refresh rate normally is 100Hz but it can be overclocked to 120Hz.
The display has a 1900R curvature, which should provide a more immersive experience. Also, the design of the monitor itself is well done, with some rather thin bezels. It’s definitely not cheap, but it’s worth investigating.
ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ
The ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ is one of the more expensive models, but it is still one of the best G-Sync monitors. It supports HDR with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 3,840 x 2,160 resolution. It has an LED backlight that has 384 zones, which is supposed to offer gamers darker blacks for a better contrast while playing graphically intensive titles.
Even the monitor’s stand offers support for a variety of views, including portrait viewing for people who want to use it for remote video conferencing.
Acer Predator XB273K
The Acer Predator XB273K is a 27-inch widescreen monitor, with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160. It has up to a 144Hz refresh rate on the screen and a 1ms response time.

The monitor uses Acer’s own Predator GameView software. It allows owners to offer up control over things like darkness levels, along with more customized color controls. Finally, the price of this monitor shouldn’t break the bank.
Dell S2721HGF
If you want one of the newest and best G-Sync monitors, check out this latest Dell model. It comes in either 24-inch or 27-inch models. Both offer a 144Hz refresh rate combined with a 1ms response time. However, the 27-inch model has a curved display for a more immersive experience. The best thing is that both models are highly affordable ways to check out G-Sync based PC gaming.
Acer Predator XB321HK
The Acer Predator XB321HK has a 32-inch display with a 3,840 x 2,160 resolution. The brightness level goes up to 1,000 nits, and users quantum dots for its pixels for excellent colors. All of this comes at a pretty high price, but it may be worth it for one of the best G-Sync monitors.
LG UltraGear 27GN950-B
This LG UltraGear monitor has a lot of nice features. This 27-inch monitor has a top resolution of 3,840 x 2,160, which is pretty impressive. It also has a 144Hz refresh rate and a latency of just 1ms.
There are some extra features as well. This monitor has lights that change color based on both the sound and the visual of the PC game you are playing at the time. Also, the back of the monitor is well designed, with RGB lighting and a stand that allows the monitor to move up or down or even be placed in a vertical “portrait’ mode.
ViewSonic Elite XG270QG
The ViewSonic Elite XG270QG is definitely one of the best G-Sync monitors, and one of the best monitors overall. The 27-inch display has a 165Hz refresh rate, along with a 1ms response time. It has a QHD resolution and supports IPS Nano Color technology. That means you should get excellent color reproduction when playing games, with a 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and 10-bit color depth.
The monitor also has dual speakers and several nifty features. They include two built-in mouse anchors and a reinforced headphone hook to keep your accessories in order.
8. Samsung Odyssey G7
The Samsung Odyssey G7 is an ultra-wide product on our best G-Sync monitors list. It comes in either 27-inch or 32-inch models with WQHD 1440p resolution and a 1000R curvature. Both offer a fast 240hz refresh rate, along with a 1ms response time. The Samsung QLED panel uses Quantum Dot technology, which allows the monitors to generate more vivid colors and 125 percent more color space compared to an sRGB display.
The monitors also support HDR 600, and the back of the displays use what the company calls Infinity Core lighting for that cool futuristic look.
Samsung CRG5 monitor
The monitor also has a high 3000:1 contrast ratio, along with an Eye Saver mode. It cuts down on the display’s blue light, so you can keep gaming for hours with lower eye strain.
ASUS ROG Swift PG35VQ
The ASUS ROG Swift PG35VQ is pretty much the ultimate G-Sync monitor. It has a curved 35-inch 3440×1440 display. It also has a 200Hz refresh rate, a 2ms response time, and a DCI-P3 90% color gamut. All that plus an onboard DAC for your headphones that supports 24-bit/192kHz audio reproduction.
In short, if you want the best of the G-Sync monitors, this is the one to buy. However, it also happens to be highly expensive.
Samsung Odyssey G9
The Samsung Odyssey G9 is the biggest of the G-Sync monitors you can buy, and one of the best. It has a massive curved 49-inch QLED 32:9 aspect ratio display, which is the same as having two 27-inch monitors. It also supports HDR 1000 for better depth and clarity, and a fast 240hz refresh rate, along with a 1ms response time. Finally, there’s the support for Infinity Core Lighting, for excellent custom color choice for the back of the monitor.
Viotek SUW49DA
Here’s another huge ultrawide display on our best G-Sync monitors list. The Viotek SUW49DA is a massive 49-inch curved monitor with a resolution of 5,120 x 1,440p. It has a 120Hz monitor refresh rate and a 121% sRGB color gamut for excellent color and visuals. The 4ms response time isn’t as good as some of the others on this list, however.
That’s our look at the best G-Sync monitors for the best gaming PC experience with NVIDIA graphics. We’ll update this list as more G-Sync monitors hit the market.
