Gaming monitor 

A gaming monitor is more than just a screen – it’s the window into the gaming world. For those who play regularly, whether it’s action-packed FPS or strategic MOBA games, the choice of monitor is crucial to the experience. As a parent, it can be confusing when your child wants a “real gaming monitor” – but the fact is that the difference between a regular computer monitor and a gaming monitor is huge.

At TNS Gaming, we have collected the best gaming monitors on the market – whether you are a beginner, an e-sports enthusiast or just want something that makes every session more fun, faster and better looking.

What makes a gaming monitor so special?

A gaming monitor is designed with performance in mind. While a typical office monitor often has a refresh rate of 60 Hz, a modern gaming monitor offers 144 Hz, 165 Hz or even 240 Hz. This means that the image is refreshed more frequently – resulting in a smoother and more accurate gaming experience.

The second important factor is response time, which is how quickly a pixel can change color. The best gaming monitors have a response time of 1 millisecond (1 ms), which eliminates motion blur and improves accuracy in fast-paced games like Fortnite, Valorant, or Call of Duty.

Gaming monitor panel types – what should you choose? 

Different panel types affect how your gaming monitor performs:

• TN panels (Twisted Nematic): Fastest, perfect for competitive gaming. Slightly worse color reproduction.
  
  
• IPS (In-Plane Switching) panels: Best color and viewing angles. Slightly more expensive but very versatile.
  
  
• VA (Vertical Alignment) panels: Deep blacks and contrast. Suitable for games with high graphics and dark scenes.
  
  

We offer gaming monitors with all types of panels – so you can choose what suits your gaming style best.

Choose the right resolution and size for your gaming monitor

Bigger isn't always better. The most popular size for a gaming monitor is 24 to 27 inches, which provides a decent amount of screen space without losing focus during intense matches. And if you choose a resolution of 1080p (Full HD) or 1440p (QHD), you get a good balance between sharpness and performance.

For those of you with more powerful graphics cards, a 4K gaming monitor can provide an unparalleled image – but keep in mind that it requires a lot of your computer.

Benefits of a gaming monitor for children and young gamers

Many parents wonder if a gaming monitor is really necessary – and the answer is usually yes. Children and young people today play games with high graphics and fast movements. A regular screen can feel blurry or dull, which impairs the gaming experience and can create frustration.

Gaming monitors often feature technology that reduces flicker, reduces blue light, and provides better color reproduction – which means your eyes won’t get as tired after long sessions. And that’s not just good for gaming – it also makes distance learning, movie watching, and creative work more comfortable.

G-Sync and FreeSync – so you don't have to worry about lag and tearing

A modern gaming monitor is often equipped with adaptive sync, either G-Sync (NVIDIA) or FreeSync (AMD). These technologies synchronize the display with the graphics card to avoid so-called "screen tearing", where the image appears to "break" during movement.

For those of you who want a future-proof gaming monitor, it is a great advantage to choose a model with support for both G-Sync and FreeSync – many of the models in our range have this.

Which gaming monitor suits you best?

There is no universal solution. Here are some guidelines:

• For esports and fast-paced FPS games: Choose a 24-27 inch gaming monitor with 1080p, 144-240 Hz, 1 ms, and TN or fast IPS panel.
  
  
• For all-round gaming and multimedia: A 27-inch IPS-based gaming monitor with QHD resolution and 144 Hz provides both good images and speed.
  
  
• For maximum immersion: Choose an ultrawide gaming monitor with a curved screen, high resolution and adaptive sync for the ultimate feeling.

Frequently asked questions about gaming monitors

Does refresh rate really matter that much? 

 Yes! A high refresh rate (e.g. 144 Hz) makes the image smoother, which improves reaction time in games.

What does response time mean on a gaming monitor? 

 It's the time it takes for a pixel to change - the lower the better. 1ms is optimal for gaming.

Is it worth buying a gaming monitor for a younger gamer?

Yes, especially if the child plays a lot. A good gaming monitor provides a better image, less strain on the eyes and greater gaming pleasure.

What is best – IPS, TN or VA for a gaming monitor?

It depends on what you prioritize: IPS for color and angle, TN for speed, VA for contrast.

How big should a gaming screen be?

24–27 inches is most common. This gives you a good overview without having to move your head to see the whole picture.

Do I need G-Sync or FreeSync?

Yes, if you want a smooth gaming experience without tearing and stutter. It greatly improves the fluidity of the game.

Is 4K necessary on a gaming monitor? 

Not for everyone. It requires a powerful graphics card. For most people, 1080p or QHD with a high refresh rate is enough.
