REVEALED: How we test gaming monitors at gamesradar - The Real Truth

Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 with Halo Infinite multiplayer gameplay on screen.

At GamesRadar+, we test gaming monitors using specific practices alongside our in-depth screen knowledge. Doing so helps us create reviews that are informative, insightful, and detailed enough to help you buy the perfect panel, whether you're looking for a console screen or a high-spec display for your PC. We always take all use cases and budgets into consideration too, so you'll be able to read our thoughts on a wide range of models. 

Putting gaming monitors to the test involves a mix of qualitative visual impressions, set tests, and comparative analysis. As standard, we take note of attributes like colors, contrast, and brightness, but also use real-life gaming scenarios to check if a screen can deliver exceptional visuals at native resolution on console and PC. That way, we're able to determine whether a screen is good for one genre, like first-person shooters, but not so much so for big RPGs or colorful adventures.
