**A Monitors' Review: Finding the Best Display in a World of Mediocrity**

I recently had the opportunity to test five monitors that claim to offer exceptional gaming performance. However, my experience was far from impressive. In fact, I'm still trying to recover from the ordeal.

The first monitor I tested was the Samsung, which I had high hopes for given its reputation. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The frame rate was unconsolable, and the panel overdrive feature helped a little bit but not enough. I'm starting to think that the Samsung is less terrible than the other ones, but only slightly.

Next, I tried the 72 Hertz monitor, which was weirdly okay. At this point, I wasn't even sure what correct colors looked like anymore. The Samsung's color was a bit off, with a brown tinge, but it could be way worse. On the plus side, the motion rendering was significantly better than the other monitors aside from the Pixio.

I then measured all of these monitors and was surprised at how well they measured. However, I was also disappointed to find that none of them measured great, and some were even worse than others. Compared to the image quality I saw in games, my expectations were really low going into this test.

The problem is that all of these monitors are okay when it comes to static images but fall apart as soon as they have to render movement. My best guess for why this is happening is that manufacturers overclocked panels that couldn't handle the high refresh rates. This results in a complete loss of motion rendering, which is just heartbreaking.

The only two monitors that didn't completely ruin my eyes were the Pixio and Adder. However, I wouldn't even call them good – they're just better than the other three.

So, which of these five monitors would I buy? Unfortunately, none of them. What I would do instead is save up some money and buy the LG monitor, which is currently on sale for $130. It's a significant improvement over the other four monitors, and it's definitely worth the extra cost.

Monitors really make a big difference, as they're what you see your games through. They also last a long time, so it's not like buying a cheap one will save you money in the long run. I would always recommend saving up and buying something better.

If I had to pick one of these five monitors due to circumstances beyond my control (like the apocalypse), I would choose the Pixio with little hesitation. I might give an honorable mention to the Samsung, but only because it's a bit better than the other three.

I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that companies are selling monitors this bad in 2023, even for $100. It's just sad.
