Adaptive sync technology can really change your gaming experience, but the big graphics cards manufacturers don’t make it easy to get adaptive sync on your computer. If you have an AMD processor, you can’t take advantage of NVIDIA’s G-SYNC technology, and NVIDIA users can’t enjoy the advantages of a monitor with FreeSync.

This one goes out to the NVIDIA fans. With NVIDIA as the dominant graphics processor manufacturer on the market, it’s understandable that monitor manufacturers are flocking to G-SYNC technology. And while there are a whole lot of G-Sync monitors on the market today, we’ve winnowed it down to 16 monitors that can compete for the best G-Sync monitor in 2020.

1. ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27” Monitor

1440p Resolution Without a Performance Hit

1+
ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27” MonitorCLICK HERE FOR PRICE

The ASUS TUF really threads the needle well in terms of covering the qualities that should matter most to gamers in a monitor: combining some of the best input lag and response time you'll find in any gaming monitor and a 1440p resolution. It's not quite 4K, but with the affordably mid-ranged price tag at work here, it's still a best deal for gamers without a whole lot of money to spend on a gaming monitor.

It also works great from wider viewing angles, making it one of the obvious best choices for local competitive gaming or gaming in less than ideal public spaces.

Pros
  • Incredibly solid gaming specs
  • Full support for HDR10 standards
  • Also uses proprietary motion blur
  • Lots of connectivity, great for additional consoles
Cons
  • Contrast ratio is pretty weak

2. Acer Predator X35 bmiphzx 1800R  QHD Gaming Monitor

The Best Raw Specs on a G-Sync Monitor

Acer Predator X35 bmiphzx 1800R  QHD Gaming MonitorCLICK HERE FOR PRICE

The Acer Predator X35 may be pricey, but it represents the best of the best in gaming monitors. The 1440p resolution is about the best you can expect from a monitor of this size, and it's accented by some of the best color reproduction available. This monitor promises coverage of 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and a smooth refresh rate of 200 Hz.

Then there's the curved screen which makes it easy to immerse yourself fully. The focus on gaming is pretty clear, also. Eight different game modes are available, and the dual speakers are actually pretty solid.

Pros
  • Eight Predator game modes
  • Very fast maximum refresh rate
  • 512 full array local dimming zones
  • Vivid HDR backed color reproduction
Cons
  • Very high asking price

3. AOC G2590FX 25″ Framless G-SYNC Monitor

One of the Best Budget Monitors

AOC G2590FX 25″ Framless G-SYNC MonitorCLICK HERE FOR PRICE

We've already talked about budget gaming monitors, but we'd be remiss to not include one on here. The AOC G2590FX is among the best. Everything is small here - from the 25 inch screen to the almost absent bezel to the price tag of under $500. The Full HD resolution won't be the best you'll find, but that's counterbalanced by the pretty high response times and refresh rate.

There are even a range of solid features for gamers. These include a blue light mode to keep your eyes safe through all nighters and in depth game color adjustment modes.

Pros
  • Choose from 20 levels of gray
  • Dial point mode ideal for FPS games
  • Good value for a very low price
  • Blue mode flicker free mode
Cons
  • Graphical performance is a bit lackluster

G-Sync, High Resolution, and Solid Refresh

Dell S2417DG YNY1D 24″ G-SYNC MonitorCLICK HERE FOR PRICE

Dell's gaming monitor provides some serious performance for a seriously low price. The 24 inch panel is far from the biggest around, but that does allow Dell to pack in support for 2K quality resolution. And it won't take a whole lot of time to get things looking the way you want them to.

There are a number of different gaming presets included, but there are some pretty deep configuration options as well. And the performance specifications here really cook. That VA display can produce refresh rates over the gaming standard of 120 Hz, and the response rates are similarly impressive.

Pros
  • Flicker free with blue light tech
  • Serious anti-glare coating
  • Multiple ports for connecting consoles
  • Preset RPG, FPS, and RTS modes
Cons
  • Color can be a bit washed out

5. Samsung 27″ CRG5 G-SYNC Gaming Monitor

A Best G-Sync Curved Gaming Monitor

Samsung 27″ CRG5 G-SYNC Gaming MonitorCLICK HERE FOR PRICE

You can get a curved gaming monitor with G-Sync support and smooth performance without spending a fortune. Samsung did have to downgrade to Full HD resolution to make it work, but the specs here are among the best for their price in just about every factor. If you've ever found yourself frustrated by the actual meaning behind picture settings, there are a number of presets catered towards different gaming experiences.

Then there's the refresh rate of 240 Hz, which is well beyond what most of today's games can support but makes this monitor well future proofed as tech continues to grow.

Pros
  • Ridiculous high maximum resolution
  • Includes multiple game picture modes
  • Above average contrast ratio
  • Dedicated low input lag mode
Cons
  • Below average resolution support

The ASUS ROG Swift is a smooth operator. This monitor comes in for well under a grand and comes with some of the best refresh rate and input lag available today. It can keep up with just about anything available today. And the viewing angles here are actually pretty good, so if you're in a public place or trying to play some local multiplayer, the ASUS ROG Swift monitor is well equipped.

In addition to coming with G-Sync support, the ASUS Rog Swift monitor offers some pretty smart motion handling technology to reduce the risk of blur. It also sports a smart and highly ergonomic design.

Pros
  • Looks great from any angle
  • Mounted on an ergonomic stand
  • Comes with ASUS Eye Care tech
  • Generous number of connectivity ports

Alienware rarely pulls any punches when it comes to the quality of their gaming products, and their upper range curved monitor is living proof of that. It's large enough to really provide some value to that curved panel, but it's built with the needs of seriously competitive gamers in mind.

Both the refresh rates and the response rates are solid if not class leading, and the stand is fully adjustable, making it one of the best monitors around in terms of ergonomics. And for the serious gamers, there are even customizable lighting effects that can link up with other Alienware products.

Pros
  • Decently sized curved display
  • Supports advanced customized lighting
  • Smart and highly ergonomic design
  • High resolution for the size
Cons
  • Middle of the road performance specs

BenQ Zowie is a name that doesn't mess around. They've earned a position as the official sponsor of countless esports events, and their brass tacks industrial design translates well to the more budget priced market. The refresh rate of 240 Hz is more than you'll need anytime soon, and the dense adjustment options give you the opportunity to find an ergonomic experience that's matched to you.

There's even a removable shield. This can be used to block out light that can cause reflections and even filter you from annoying external sounds, so you can't blame outside distractions for your next loss.

Pros
  • Advanced black equalizing options
  • Very adjustable VESA stand
  • Multiple gaming modes to choose from
  • Easy to navigate customizable presets
Cons
  • Relatively small screen size

The HP X 25f is a monitor that cares about performance above all else. There's support for what's presently an excessive refresh rate of 240 Hz but will offer its best performance as that technology expands. And the responsiveness to your controllers or keyboard and mouse are arguably the best around.

This baby offers an input lag of less than a millisecond. There's also some cool ambient lighting that can adapt from ultra chill to super hectic. The one problem is that it doesn't look great from angles - but the target audience of competitive online gamers doesn't need to worry too much about that.

Pros
  • Cable management and head rest built in
  • Absurdly high refresh rate
  • Ambient light for reducing eye strain
  • Includes three full USB ports
Cons
  • Picture quality is below average

Balance is probably the most operative word to describe the ViewSonic Elite. The panel size is right in the standard range for gaming monitors, and the 144Hz refresh rate isn't the best you'll find anywhere, but it can be further enhanced through overclocking and is well complemented by a response time of only a second.

The resolution is more than ample for the size of the panel, and it can even boost its existing refresh rate through overclocking. It's a subtle improvement but one that will be appreciated nonetheless. And the flexible connectivity options means you can get choices no matter how you prefer to game.

Pros
  • Refresh rate can be overclocked
  • Crisp IPS Nano Color tech
  • Smart pro level design sensibilities
  • GtG response time of a millisecond
Cons
  • Contrast ratio is pretty weak

Predator is a name that ASUS rolls out when they want you to know they're pulling out all the stops for gamers. The XB271HU bmiprz can hit a decent 144Hz refresh rate that can then be further enhanced through the inclusion of overclocking. NVIDIA users can benefit from the inclusion of G-Sync support, but Ultra Low Motion Blur technology helps smooth out the edges even more and provides some decent motion reduction even if you're running on specs that can't quite keep up with your graphical settings.

The frame of the Acer Predator itself is almost entirely without a bezel, and both a cable clip and headset hook are included for neater organization.

Pros
  • Function keys built into screen
  • Compatible with VESA mounting
  • Includes two decently loud speakers
  • Supports Ultra Low Motion Blur tech
Cons
  • Doesn't provide support for HDR

ASUS provides top shelf gaming performance along with all the tools you need to keep healthy during long gaming sessions. While your NVIDIA graphics card will benefit from the inclusion of G-Sync technology, these monitors further embolden that G-Sync with the best motion blur tech around and eye care tech that blocks blue light from reaching your eyes.

And regardless of your computer, you should be able to connect up these monitors just fine. They include both DVI and DisplayPort inputs in addition to the HDMI input that's now becoming the standard for both standard and gaming monitors.

Pros
  • Uses ASUS Eye Care tech
  • Highly adjustable ergonomic stand
  • Includes a pair of two watt speakers
  • Preset visual modes via ASUS GamePlus
Cons

The fact that the LG 27GL850-B monitor uses an IPS panel comes with some distinct advantages: most notably the color quality and the fact that it looks great even from wide viewing angles. Calculate in the price and the fact that it offers great color quality even at a 2K resolution, and what you're left with is one of the best monitors for single player gaming and decent enough performance to even suit the needs of online competitive monitor gaming.

It even offers support for the HDR 400 format - a decision that results in better aesthetics than even the best gaming monitors.

Pros
  • Better HDR than most monitors
  • Great price for 1440p resolution
  • Sphere Lighting 2.0 included
  • Ultra wide, high resolution, curved display
Cons

G-Sync technology really help you get the most out of your graphics card, but not all monitors offer the best G-Sync compatibility. The 34 inch IPS panel is plenty spacious enough but is also curved to provide you with a greater level of immersion during single player gaming. And while the refresh rates aren't enough to keep up with the demands of the most competitive gamers, they'll be plenty good enough for most gamers.

And that visual quality is just too good to pass up. The color gamut coverage here extends into the sort of vibrancy used to measure professional photo and video editing monitors.

Pros
  • Solid color reproduction with no washout
  • Wide and slightly curved IPS panel
  • Offers plenty of USB ports
  • Four fully customizable RGB lighting zones
Cons
  • Performance specs are a bit middling

G-sync Monitors Buyer’s Guide

Wrapping Up

The main question you should ask yourself when shopping for the best gaming monitor is what graphics card is packed in. The best G-Sync monitors won’t do you a whole lot of good if you don’t have a NVIDIA graphics card to use. At the same time, there’s no reason to not get a gaming monitor with G-Sync or FreeSync capabilities. A G-Sync monitor doesn’t cost much more than non G-Sync monitors, but they bring out the best features of your NVIDIA graphics card and help provide an added gaming boost for less capable graphics cards.

In any case, shopping for the best G-Sync monitors for gaming isn’t that different from tracking down any gaming monitor. There’s naturally a bit of crossover between our best G-Sync monitors and our best gaming monitors, but the latter can expand your horizons if G-Sync isn’t your highest priority. And if you decide you want something more affordable, you can turn your attention to our guide for the best budget monitors in 2020.
