HOW TO CHOOSE the right panel.

Start with how you play, not the spec sheet. Competitive, cinematic, or console — this is the fork that lands you on the right panel instead of the most expensive one.

DECISION JOURNEY · 4 STEPS

The path

Name how you play

Competitive shooters, cinematic single-player, or console — pick the one that’s most of your hours.

Set the refresh floor

144Hz+ if you play competitive. 60–120Hz is plenty for cinematic and story games.

Match resolution to your GPU

1440p is the value sweet spot. 4K needs real horsepower to hit high frames.

Then pick the panel type

IPS for color, VA for contrast, OLED if the budget allows. Now you can read the spec sheet.
