If you're in the market for a new gaming monitor with the releases of some really kick ass new games lately including DOOM Eternal, then you'll want to check out our list of the best gaming monitors of 2020. We've also got a list of the Best GPUs for PC Gaming in 2020.

Whether it's a lower-end but super high refresh rate 1080p panel at up to 240Hz (and even far beyond) or a mid-range 1440p beast at up to 144Hz, or something more badass. Yeah, the gaming monitor market is an exciting one if you've got the money to spend. There are some large 4K gaming monitors in sizes between 27/32/43/55 inches -- right up to 65-inch and beyond if you want to spend many thousands of dollars. Alienware even makes a huge 55-inch OLED 4K 120Hz gaming TV that is out-of-this-world.

But if you want a little bit of luxury and want to be fully pulled into the world of the game you're playing, then maybe you want a huge UltraWide monitor -- they came in different shapes and sizes, too.

What more can I say? Alienware has a gigantic 55-inch 4K 120Hz OLED Gaming Monitor that would be utterly insane to play games on. The huge 55-inch TV being an OLED panel is even better as you get some of the best image quality capable today, with true blacks that will only make for the best gaming experience possible.

The native 4K resolution and super-smooth 120Hz should be perfect at 55 inches in size, with the OLED doing so much of the heavy lifitng. The design of the Alienware 55 OLED Gaming Monitor is also out-of-this-world.

I've personally used and I'm even typing this article up on the ASUS ROG Strix XG438Q Large Gaming Monitor and it is gorgeous. The huge 43-inch panel with 125% scaling in Windows 10 is perfect for productivity, but man-oh-man the gaming on this display is awesome.

It's also $2000 cheaper than the Alienware 55 OLED, so if you don't quite have the money to buy a $3000+ gaming monitor then the ASUS ROG Strix XG438Q Large Gaming Monitor should become your next purchase.
