Monitor shopping can sometimes feel like committing to a go-kart race through a minefield while wearing a blindfold.
That being said, many of the options on this list arent cheap.
The bigger they are, the better the screen, the more expensive theyll be.

Keep that in mind; perhaps you could use this list as a springboard for shopping around.
For that, you really cant go wrong with thePhilips Evnia 4K OLED.

Its light enough to use as your standard daily monitor.
It swivels a full 60 degrees and also has a fair degree of tilt.
While there are two HDMI 2.1 and one DisplayPort 1.4 connection, theres also no built-in sound.

In that case, the Agon Pro 240Hz OLED monitor gives you that and a bit more besides.
Its a QHD, 2560 x 1440 resolution with a 0.03 ms response time typical of OLED screens.
The price is also a big plus in the Agon Pros favor.

We havent noticed any real input lag playing multiple titles that support high refresh rates.
It costs less than similar models you might buy today, a huge plus in AOCs favor.
Its an FHD, 1920 by 1080p display with a max brightness of 400 nits.
If youre looking for a low-budget curved screen, we might also suggest the Pixio PXC277 Advanced.
Its a 1440p, 1500R curved panel that also goes up to a 165 Hz refresh rate.
Its at 140 PPI and has a stated pixel response time of 0.03ms.

However, the main benefit of the Studio Display is that its easy to use.
It comes out of the box with the power cord neatly bundled and ready to be plugged in.
Theres no need to handle HDMI, as the USB-C cable will handle everything nicely and tidyly.
