Best Gaming Monitors in 2026 — 1080p, 1440p, and 4K Ranked

by

The best gaming monitor for most builders in 2026 is a 1440p display at 165Hz or higher. The LG 27GP850 at 1440p 165Hz is the consistent recommendation for builds in the RTX 4070 Super and RX 9070 range. Moving to 4K makes sense with a RTX 5080 or RX 7900 XTX level GPU. Match your monitor resolution to your GPU before buying either. See all monitor picks.
