It would be pretty difficult to play flight sim games without a monitor, and it would be equally as difficult to enjoy the experience without the best monitor available. With that in mind, HiTech Creations takes a look at the best gaming monitors for 2024.
HiTech Creations is the creator of Aces High, the combat simulator which has led the way since 2000. Try our free two-week download and see for yourself what great gaming looks like.
But first, let’s chat about gaming monitors.
Excellent monitors for flight sim gaming.
Without further delay, here are our choices for a great gaming monitor:
- Sceptre 34-inch curved
- Acer Nitro 27-inch
- LG Ultragear 34-inch
- ASUS TUF Gaming 32-inch
- Acer Nitro 23.8-inch
We could continue with the next five on our list, but they are all made by either Sceptre, Acer, or ASUS, the three companies which easily outdistance the rest in gaming monitors and the required hardware. The next five would only differ in size, certainly not in performance.
Our overall top pick: Sceptre 34-inch curved.
Budget always plays a part in this discussion.
The question then becomes do you have the $325 to spend on a gaming monitor like the Sceptre? Not everyone does in today’s economy; in fact, you better be very serious about gaming if you are going to fork out that kind of change for a monitor. We understand that, and that is why we now mention the bottom line in this discussion.
Bottom line about gaming monitors.
The gaming monitor market is continuously growing, and finding the best option for your needs is becoming easier with more models coming out each year. When looking for a gaming monitor, there are different factors you'll have to consider, as there's no perfect solution for everyone. A monitor's HDR performance, resolution, and refresh rate all impact your buying decision. For example, competitive PC gamers may prefer higher refresh rates and lower resolutions, but you may want an HDMI 2.1 display with a 4k resolution for more detailed games.
Due to all these factors, you'll need to consider the type of games you play and your budget before looking for a monitor. Of course, premium monitors combine fantastic gaming performance with incredible picture quality, so they offer the best of both worlds, but they also cost a lot. No matter what type of gamer you are, getting a monitor with a fast response time for great motion handling is beneficial. Low input lag is also important, but that's the case with most monitors. Having VRR support helps reduce screen tearing, but this feature works on most monitors with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
A final word about HiTech Creations and Aces High.
Aces High burst onto the gaming scene in 2000 with its flight simulator game, and for the next twenty-four years remained the standard in combat flight simulators. Consider how many new games are created yearly, the sheer number of competitors which are in the gaming market; to remain a viable option for over two decades speaks volumes about Aces High. Give us a try. Strap on your flight helmet and fly the skies with Aces High.
