Response Time
Gray-to-gray response time (GTG)
Panel
- TN (earliest, cheap, poor color, fastest response time, low budget/FPS enthusiast use)
- VA (can be used for ultrawide screens, long response time)
- IPS (balanced, good color, used for office and design)
- fast IPS focuses more on response speed
- nano IPS focuses more on color
Backlight
- LED
- miniLED (used in high-end monitors)
- OLED
- faster response, higher contrast, thinner
- very high cost (5k+)
- short lifespan
- MicroLED
- better than OLED, also more expensive
FreeSync/G-Sync
Optimizes game screen tearing
HDR
Color standard certification
400 minimum, 1400 maximum, 600 is a dividing line
