Best gaming monitors under 300

Some manufacturers do not specify GtG values ​​in the documentation and measure the response time in MPRT, which stands for motion picture response time (response time to a moving image). This figure https://thetimes.digital/games/best-gaming-monitor-under-300/  expresses how long an object is displayed on the screen before it disappears completely.

MPRT

The official Aorus website talks about "increased liquid crystal rotation speed", but in fact 1ms (MPRT) is achieved by inserting a black frame in AIM Stabilizer mode
Most often, the MPRT value can be found as a “1 ms” mark on the box, but in this case it does not indicate the actual speed of the matrix, but only the presence of a strobe mode. To increase the visual clarity of motion, every second frame is rendered in black, thereby greatly reducing or even eliminating ghosting.

At refresh rates greater than 120 Hz, the flicker itself is not perceived by most people, but the eyes get tired faster. Also, fatigue is affected by the monitor's own flickering of the backlight, which, unlike the “strobe”, is present all the time and cannot be turned off in the settings. To make your eyes less tired, you should look for a monitor with the designation Flicker Free (flicker-free backlight).

The flickering of the backlight can be seen if you point the smartphone camera at the screen and turn on the video recording.

At similar refresh rates and similar advertised response times (but in different amounts), monitors behave differently. This is clearly seen in the tests that our colleagues from 3DNews conducted in their laboratory. In the UFO Ghosting IPS test, the LG UltraGear 34GK950G matrix with a frequency of 120 Hz and a response time of 5 ms (GtG) demonstrates a fairly clear image with a readable inscription, while the AORUS CV27Q based on a VA matrix with a frequency of 165 Hz and a claimed response time of 1 ms (MPRT ) copes significantly worse even in AIM Stabilizer mode (with a strobe).

Quite high-quality WQHD displays with a screen diagonal of 31.5-32 inches include the AOC AG322QCX and Samsung C32HG70QQI (the first monitor released in this segment). LG's new products are an alternative to them: the LG 32GK850G tested by reviewers with Nvidia G-Sync and the only presented 32GK850F with support for AMD FreeSync 2 and pseudo-HDR. Another important difference between both models and solutions from AOC and Samsung is a flat matrix with less problematic elaboration of fonts and small elements.

UWQHD (3440×1440)

If Nvidia G-Sync support is not important to you, then you can start your acquaintance with the class of fast UWQHD displays with Samsung's excellent time-tested solutions: C34F791WQI and C34H890WJI. The models differ slightly in price, matrix used (*VA 1500R with QD-LED backlight and *VA 1800R with W-LED) and design. Making a choice is easy enough: if unusually saturated/juicy colors and a larger bending radius do not scare you, then a model with QD-LED will be the best choice.
