These screens are the next big thing in display technology - literally. They've got a mighty 3,840 x 2,160 resolution to ensure that games, movies and content creation applications look as good as possible, and many of these screens are large enough to dominate a desk. Just ensure that your gaming PC can spare enough power for these high-end panels to drive so many pixels if you want to play those triple A titles.

Monitors that support AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate technology synchronise the panel's refresh rate to the frame rate produced by a graphics card for silky smooth gaming free from stutter and screen tears. Available in a wide range of resolutions, including ultra wide 2,560 x 1,080, these monitors are a gamer's best friend. For FreeSync gaming, you'll need to check you've got a supported AMD graphics card and connect to the monitor using DisplayPort.

The edges of these monitors very gently curve inwards, matching the curvature of the human eye. The curve is so gentle it's not really conciously visible, but combined with an ultra wide aspect ratio makes games, particularly first person shooters even more immersive than when played on a standard flat monitor.

These portable monitors are a handy way to extend your laptop's display when you're on the move, as they are thinner and lighter than traditional monitors. They have integrated rather than bulky stands and are USB powered so don't need a separate power brick.
