MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED
The MPG 321URX kind of encapsulates what 2024 had to offer in terms of both price and performance/quality. That's because it uses the same 4K, 240 Hz, 0.03 ms response OLED panel as many of the others that launched this year but retails for a lot cheaper. We're talking hundreds of dollars less than similar competition for a gorgeous glossy panel with great and vibrant colour reproduction plus some very deep blacks.

LG UltraGear 32GS95UE
While the MPG 321URX encapsulates what 2024 offered in terms of a balance between performance, quality, and price, the UltraGear 32GS95UE shows what it had to offer in terms of sheer high-end quality and performance, pricing be damned. First off, it's a dual-mode monitor, so you get the benefit of the 480 Hz refresh rate at 1080p if that's your jam. And if not, well, there's 240 Hz at 4K, and who can argue with that? Apart from that, though, it's an OLED panel that's actually slightly better than the others we saw this year, mainly because it's a little brighter and has a more neutral colour profile. It's got a matte finish, but it's glossier than most matte finishes so the colours still pop. The downside to all this lovely tech, however, is the very steep price tag.

Asus ROG Strix XG27ACS
This monitor showed what 2024 tech was capable of when put to the task of delivering in the mainstream monitor market—none of this $1,000 4K OLED malarkey. The ROG Strix XG27ACS features a 1440p IPS panel and comes in at $299, which is more expensive than some 1440P IPS panels you can get, but it's worth that extra cost. That's because it goes up to 180 Hz and has a 1 ms grey-to-grey response time, which makes it much snappier than most similar panels. Its colour reproduction is [[link]] also incredibly well-calibrated straight out of the box, even when viewing SDR content in HDR mode.
