For the most immersive gameplay, you need one of the best 4K gaming monitors. Traditionally reserved for high-end gamers with fat wallets, 4K gaming displays are becoming much cheaper.
Samsung's Odyssey Neo G8 is a one-of-a-kind gaming monitor. It is the world's first 4K monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate and a response time of 1ms. The monitor makes use of a 1000R curved 32-inch VA panel, which can hit up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness, making it fantastic for HDR, and colors really pop off the screen — especially in brighter-lit games. There are almost 1,200 local dimming zones too, so even high-contrast scenes don't have much blooming.

There are also two 3W speakers and a built-in KVM switch that allows one to control multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse connected through the monitor.
