REFERENCE FILE
MONITOR
The part of the PC you actually look at.
The display decides what your hardware investment is worth in pixels and motion. We match resolution and refresh rate to the GPU that must feed them.
WHAT WE CHECK
- Resolution vs GPU tier
- Refresh rate real-world value
- Panel type (IPS/OLED/VA)
- Color coverage for creator work
- Adaptive-sync support
