Monitors with a vertical resolution of 1440 are known as 1440p displays, which is also called 2k, QHD, or Quad HD. It strikes a great balance between 1080p and 4k and is often called the sweet spot in resolution. Most 1440p monitors are available in 27 and 32-inch sizes, as these sizes provide good pixel density with this resolution. They can be useful for various uses, from productivity to content creation to gaming, although many 1440p monitors have gaming features. Even if you aren’t a gamer and you’re looking for a 1440p monitor, some options are focused on productivity too, or you can simply get a 1440p gaming monitor and use it for work.
We’ve bought and tested more than 275 monitors, and below are our recommendations for the best 2k monitors with a native resolution of 2560×1440 that are available to buy. Check out our picks for the best 1440p 144Hz monitors, the best 1440p gaming monitors, or, if you want a higher resolution, the best 4k monitors.

The best 1440p monitor we’ve tested is the LG 27GR95QE-B. It’s an excellent overall monitor that offers a high 240Hz refresh rate for gaming, and it also has FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing. It has fantastic motion handling at high refresh rates, but there’s overshoot when gaming at lower refresh rates, which causes a white trail behind fast-moving objects. If you want to use it for console gaming, it has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth that lets it take full advantage of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
On top of its fantastic gaming performance, it delivers stunning picture quality thanks to its OLED panel. It allows it to display deep blacks without blooming, which is ideal for using the monitor in a dark room. Unfortunately, OLEDs are prone to burn-in when exposed to the same static elements over time, which can be problematic if you have elements like the taskbar or icons on the screen all day. However, this is less of a concern if you use it for varied stuff, like gaming and watching content in full-screen mode.

If you prefer saving money by getting an upper mid-range monitor, or if you’re concerned about the risk of burn-in, consider the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QM. It has a 27-inch screen like the LG 27GR95QE-B but doesn’t deliver nearly the same picture quality because it has an LED-backlit LCD panel with a low contrast ratio.
Because of this, it isn’t as good as the LG for use in dark rooms, but it also gets brighter, making it a better choice for use in well-lit rooms. Luckily, LCD monitors like this one aren’t prone to burn-in, so you can easily use them for gaming and work without worrying about damaging your screen over time.Like the LG, the ASUS has a 240Hz refresh rate and impressive gaming performance. The main difference versus the LG is that this monitor has native G-SYNC VRR support, which lets you take full advantage of your NVIDIA graphics card. It also supports NVIDIA’s Reflex Latency Analyzer, which measures the latency of your entire setup. Lastly, it has excellent motion handling across its entire refresh rate range, so motion looks smooth no matter the game you’re playing.

If you don’t have an NVIDIA graphics card and don’t need something with native G-SYNC support, the Dell Alienware AW2723DF is a good, cheaper alternative.
It has a 240Hz native refresh rate like ASUS ROG Swift PG279QM, but instead of the native G-SYNC support like on the ASUS, it has G-SYNC compatibility and FreeSync VRR, so it can still reduce screen tearing with any graphics card. You can also overclock its refresh rate up to 280Hz for a slightly smoother feel, and it has excellent motion handling too.It has a few helpful extra features for gaming, like a virtual crosshair or different vision modes that make it easier to see your opponents in games, giving you a competitive advantage. It also has four USB-A ports, so connecting your peripherals or charging devices is easy. Even if you want to use it for general desktop use, it delivers good picture quality with accurate colors and high peak brightness, meaning visibility is fine in well-lit rooms.

If you prefer saving money and don’t mind getting a lower refresh rate, a lower mid-range monitor like the LG 27GP850-B is a good alternative.
It has a lower 165Hz native refresh rate than the Dell Alienware AW2723DF and still offers excellent gaming performance. It’s available in different variants at different retailers as the 27GP850-B and LG 27GP83B-B. Both models are essentially the same, but the 27GP850-B has an overclock feature of up to 180Hz. They offer fast response times for excellent motion handling and have FreeSync VRR with G-SYNC compatibility.The picture quality is also good, especially if you use it in a well-lit room because it has great SDR peak brightness and good reflection handling. It also has wide viewing angles that keep the image consistent from the sides, which is great if you need to share your screen with someone else, but its stand doesn’t offer swivel adjustments. If you find that the 27-inch screen is too small for your needs, the LG 32GP850-B is another good option with a larger 32-inch screen, but it costs a bit more.

If you’re looking for something on a budget, there are a few good 1440p monitors to choose from.
The Gigabyte M27Q is a great gaming monitor similar to the LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B because it has a max 170Hz refresh rate and offers impressive gaming performance, but its motion handling isn’t as good. While it has a 27-inch screen and the same pixel density as the LG, it uses a BGR subpixel layout that makes text clarity worse as programs don’t render text well with it, but that’s only a concern for reading text as it still delivers the same amount of details while gaming.While this monitor is designed for gaming, it has a few extra features that make it versatile for other uses, like productivity. It has a KVM switch that makes it easy to switch between devices, like a gaming PC and a work laptop, and use the same keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor. It’s great if you need to work with two devices simultaneously, like a work and personal laptop, and you often need to switch between them.

- Dell Alienware AW3423DW:
The Dell Alienware AW3423DW is an excellent high-end monitor delivering stunning picture quality, even better than the LG 27GR95QE-B. It’s different than the LG because it has an ultrawide screen with a 3440×1440 resolution, so only consider it if you want the ultrawide format.
See our review - Gigabyte M27Q X:
The Gigabyte M27Q X offers more productivity features than the Dell Alienware AW2723DF, as it has a KVM switch. However, it has worse motion handling and can be harder to find.
See our review - ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV:
The ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV is a good monitor for work and media creation if that’s what you need it for, and it costs only a bit more than the Gigabyte M27Q. However, it isn’t as versatile for other uses like gaming and doesn’t support HDR, making the Gigabyte the best option in the budget category.

There is no shortage of fast QHD monitors appearing in manufacturers’ lineups these days, many of which are among the best gaming monitors that we’ve reviewed. As the ideal balance of price and performance, it’s no wonder that gamers are snapping them up in quantity. The best deals are usually in the 27-inch size, but if you can have the same performance in a 32-inch screen for around the same price, wouldn’t you be interested?
The Dell S3222DGM is a close match on specs in many regards to S2722DGM, which we recently reviewed. The sale prices of the monitors are within $5 of each other – $295 for the former, $300 for the latter. At that price, you get a VA panel, QHD and 165 Hz with Adaptive-Sync. While the monitor lacks HDR, it delivers 85% coverage of DCI-P3 and outstanding contrast. With the solid build quality that we’ve come to expect from Dell along with impressive overall performance, the S3222DGM represents a tremendous value for gamers shopping in the 32-inch category.

- Dell S3222DGM (32-inch) at Dell for $349.99
The Dell S3222DGM starts with a VA panel (see IPS versus VA panels) rated by Dell for 3,000:1 contrast.
My sample measured closer to 4,000:1, and that is a difference easily seen in a side-by-side comparison. The color gamut is also visibly larger. Where the 27-inch hits 75 percent of DCI-P3 gamut, the 32-incher covers more than 85 percent, which is about average among all the extended color monitors I’ve tested. The only thing not here is HDR, but you won’t feel you’re missing out when you see the SDR image.
As confirmed by my tests, video processing comes in the form of FreeSync over a 48-165 Hz range and G-Sync compatibility (see FreeSync vs G-Sync), though the Dell S3222DGM has not yet been certified by Nvidia. In addition to a three-level overdrive, you get a backlight strobe for blur reduction. You’ll also find countdown timers and a frame counter as gaming enhancements. However, there are no aiming points, which might dissuade a few FPS newbies.
Build quality is typical Dell, which means that it punches above its price class. The chassis is solid with a wobble-free stand and a panel that feels ready for long-term use.
A small lighting feature is included too, a soft blue LED bar that shines on the desktop. And there’s the curve with an 1800mm radius; just right for gaming but not so severe that images are distorted. At 32 inches in the 16:9 aspect ratio, you’ll get an immersive effect in the horizontal and vertical planes. While some may prefer a 21:9 ultra-wide, there’s no denying the impact of that extra height.
The Dell S3222DGM may just be the bargain of the century with everything one needs for a high-performance gaming experience.
Assembly and Accessories for Dell S3222DGM
Dell’s now familiar and appreciated clamshell box opens to reveal the S3222DGM securely packed in molded pulp with just enough non-crumbly foam to protect the curved screen. The stand and base mate with a captive bolt, then snap onto the panel. If you’d rather use an aftermarket arm, there’s a 100mm VESA bolt pattern with the fasteners included. Bundled cables are of higher quality than the norm, with thick wiring and soft, flexible insulation.
You get HDMI and DisplayPort along with an IEC cord for the internal power supply.
Product 360: Dell S3222DGM
Image 1 of 4

The S3222DGM’s styling could be called understated, but the gaming intent is there. The hexagonal base flares up ahead of the upright’s attachment point, creating a slick effect with a few louvers molded in. When the blue LED is on, it glows softly, illuminating only the base and a small area ahead. You can turn the light off in the OSD if you wish. The panel has an 8mm thin bezel around the top and sides and a 19mm strip across the bottom with the Dell logo front and center. On the right side, a tiny power LED glows white, steady when the power is on, and breathing in standby mode.
The curve looks pronounced in photos but is not that extreme in practice. Though not subtle, it isn’t tight enough to cause image distortion. Viewing static photos or text looks about the same as a flat screen.
The Dell S3222DGM is perfectly usable as a workday monitor, and you’ll appreciate that extra screen area.
A 32-inch, 16:9 monitor is my favorite because it’s wide and tall. QHD resolution means the pixel density is 92ppi, which is enough that you won’t see individual pixels unless you sit very close. A monitor this large is best enjoyed from three to four feet away.
In the back, you’ll see the familiar Cylon shape (Battlestar Galactica reference) surrounding the upright’s attachment point. The Dell logo has a neat holographic effect that changes color as light hits it from different directions. OSD buttons are visible here as well. A joystick handles most of the navigation duties along with four control keys. Two of them can be programmed by the user.
The stand is super solid with 3.9 inches of height adjustment along with 5/21 degrees tilt. There is no swivel built into the base, but the upright includes a small hole for cable management.
The input panel is tucked well up and under, but I had no problems plugging in cables with large connectors.
There are two HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.2 along with a 3.5mm audio jack. There are no internal speakers, so you’ll have to derive audio from headphones or some sort of external system.
OSD Features of Dell S3222DGM
The Dell S3222DGM’s OSD is identical to the one in the S2722DGM. However, some image settings are different. I’ll explain everything below. To bring up the full menu, press the joystick. The control keys access specific functions, and two of them are programmable.

The Game menu starts with 12 picture modes. Standard is the default and is reasonably accurate out of the box. For the best possible picture, though, I selected Custom Color and calibrated the two-point white balance sliders. Unlike with the S2722DGM, you can’t improve the image by only selecting Custom Color.
The three Game modes also allow calibration and let you create individual combinations of the overdrive and Dark Stabilizer controls.
Dark Stabilizer is a gamma tweaker that raises the black level to make shadow detail more visible. Also in this sub-menu are the FreeSync toggle, overdrive, and the Game Enhance options which include countdown timers and a frame counter. There are no aiming points available.
In Custom Color mode, you can adjust the two-point white balance sliders, gain and offset, and hue and saturation sliders. The same controls are available in the three Game modes along with Response Time and Dark Stabilizer.
Under the Response Time heading are three overdrive options plus MPRT, a backlight strobe. It cancels out Adaptive-Sync but delivers slightly better motion resolution. The cost in brightness is small, and if you can keep the action above 150fps, it’s a good alternate video processing option.
Calibration Settings for Dell S3222DGM
In the Dell S3222DGM’s Standard picture mode, color, gamma and grayscale tracking are good enough that calibration is not required. The white point is a tiny bit cool but, in most content, that will not be visible.
Color is definitely in the DCI-P3 realm, with 85% coverage measured. There is no sRGB mode.
Calibration is possible to a very high standard in Custom Color or the three Game modes. Below are the settings I used, and remember that there is no HDR mode available. Also, note that you shouldn’t just use Custom Color without adjusting it or otherwise the image will look flat.

Gaming and Hands-on with Dell S3222DGM
The debate between 27 or 32-inch sizes for a QHD monitor will come down to how picky you are, how good your vision is, and how close to the screen you plan to sit.
Since the S3222DGM is about gaming performance, its QHD resolution is a major plus over a same-sized Ultra HD display because that 165 Hz refresh rate makes a real difference in motion resolution.
For static images, I could just see the pixel structure at a two-foot viewing distance but pulling back to three feet made it disappear. If I spent all my time working in Photoshop, Ultra HD would be my choice. But for general workday tasks, the S3222DGM is more than adequate. Its superb contrast, saturated color and sharp image serve well for getting through a few hours of writing or blitzing through a spreadsheet full of data. I use the word blitz because that vast screen area means a lot less scrolling. This is also the case when browsing the web. You can see so much more information in one glance.
Watching video is big fun on a curved 32-inch screen. The Dell S3222DGM adds just enough extra color to make everything from YouTube to Netflix pop like a premium television. The curve is a definite asset for entertainment.
And so is the 4,000:1 contrast ratio. I didn’t miss HDR thanks to deep blacks, detailed highlights and shadows, and broad dynamic range.
Gaming was a similarly excellent experience. Though I couldn’t dial up HDR in Doom Eternal, color was vivid with deep, fiery reds, textural earth tones and shiny highlights that made the image look three-dimensional. I didn’t miss HDR a bit.
Trying out the different video processing options proved that the Dell S3222DGM is a versatile display. The overdrive works best at its middle setting, Super Fast. Extreme produced slight ghosting. The blur reduction, called MPRT, didn’t look that great when running Blur Busters test patterns, but I didn’t see the same phasing artifacts in actual content.
I was able to play Doom Eternal and Call of Duty WWII with no visible downsides. It made motion a tad smoother and sharper without reducing brightness. However, I did notice a slight drop in contrast due to a rise in black levels.
It’s subtle, but during the nighttime missions in Call of Duty WWII, the shadow areas were a little brighter.
My takeaway from the MPRT versus Adaptive-Sync question was that the two options are both usable; they just look different. One is not better than the other, and they are equal in performance. You’ll have to decide which one suits you better.
Of course, color and contrast were always exemplary. There is nothing better than a high-contrast VA panel, and the Dell S3222DGM is one of the best I’ve seen. It strikes a rare balance between gaming performance and image quality. Yes, you can go faster and smoother but then you’ll be giving up contrast. If you want a solid all-around gaming monitor that looks good doing everything, this is it.

Not so long ago, Full HD monitors were considered the most popular models. But, today they are gradually being replaced by modern 2K models. And the reason is that they were really able to bring a lot of new things – for example, they have a much higher resolution and screen refresh rate, and there are also several connection methods at once.
A couple of years ago, the prices for such monitors seemed simply huge, however, today there are a large number of them from various manufacturers, at the most affordable prices. However, so many models of these devices have appeared on the market that choosing a monitor is far from an easy task.
Next, we will talk about the best 2K monitors in 2022-2023, which have a number of features and advantages over their competitors.

- Operating modes . When choosing a monitor, you should also think about the operating modes. After all, modern devices support human vision protection, anti-reflective coating, reduced response modes, and so on;
- Diagonal . It is worth paying attention to the screen size. Since 22-inch monitors will allow you to solve simple tasks. For constant work with graphics and tables, it is better to choose monitors from 23-24 inches.
- Hertzovka . The higher the number of hertz, the better the image transmission speed and smoothness will be. It is recommended to take a device from 144 hertz and higher, especially speaking about a gaming device;
- Firm . It is worth paying attention to the fact that the monitor brands presented in the list above were able to establish themselves as one of the leaders in this market. Therefore, the reputation of the manufacturer is also worth considering.
After all, modern devices support human vision protection, anti-reflective coating, reduced response modes, and so on; In the end, I would like to say that when choosing a 2K monitor in 2021, you may face a difficult choice, since the number of devices offered on the market is simply colossal.
Choosing a monitor according to the parameters above, a person will be able to purchase a durable high-quality device that will delight him with rich and saturated colors. These monitors are suitable for both graphics and gaming.
