Most gamers prefer 27 inches as the sweet spot — big enough for immersion without excessive eye movement. For competitive gaming, 24–27 inches is ideal.

Yes! Curved monitors create a more immersive viewing experience, especially for gaming and multitasking, by reducing edge distortion and eye strain.

For smooth performance, aim for at least 120Hz. Competitive players often go for 144Hz or higher for the fastest response times.
