Is there a more painful sphere of technology to shop in than computer monitors? It’s an endless checklist of specs and standards that no one product ever seems to meet in full, all for a higher price than you feel like you should be paying. And the situation is even worse with gaming monitors. The focus on cutting-edge performance places their relative deficiencies into even starker relief.

I strongly believe that if you have a high-end PC but don’t have a good gaming monitor, you are wasting your hardware. However, there is one — and only one — gaming monitor that I can wholeheartedly recommend. It’s called the Asus ROG Swift PG279Q, it was launched almost three years ago, and it still costs about $700. It’s my personal choice because it’s the only option I’m aware of that does everything I need it to, most of what I’d like it to, and almost none of what I don’t want it to.
