4K G-Sync Monitor: Which to buy
A good monitor allows us to fully enjoy all the details offered by our gaming PC hardware. However, users often underestimate the purchase of a new monitor, as no particular attention is paid to the features of the product. Monitors with 4K resolution allow us to enjoy details that we can hardly perceive with Full HD resolution.
For this reason, many gamers prefer to buy a product of this category. Some companies have decided to adopt NVIDIA G-Sync technology, in order to improve fluidity and break down screen tearing, a problem that is common to most users.

How to choose a 4K G-Sync monitor
The choice of a monitor in this category is certainly not to be taken lightly. This is a purchase that must be made with the utmost care, especially given the price that distinguishes the various models on the market. Some aspects and some features must be taken into consideration that will determine the choice of our new monitor.
Type of panel
If we have to buy a strictly gaming monitor, it is advisable to opt for a TN or VA (Vertical Alignment) panel. If, on the other hand, we want to use the monitor, mainly for editing and graphics, it is advisable to opt for an IPS type panel, a reliable type that guarantees excellent color rendering.
Refresh rate and response time
These two aspects are fundamental in choosing a good monitor. The refresh rate is the refresh rate and represents the number of times in a second the image is redrawn. This characteristic is measured in Hz, while the response time, instead, is measured in ms., The response time also varies depending on the type of panel our monitor is equipped with. Usually, in 4K monitors we will not find very high refresh rates as in Full HD monitors, such as the AOC AGON AG251FG.
Dimensions
In this category of products, it is advisable to purchase a monitor with a diagonal display of 27 inches. In this way, we will be able to enjoy all the details offered by this resolution, as a 24-inch diagonal would be restrictive for such a resolution.
