If you have a powerful gaming PC, you know that 60 frames per second is not enough. Newer LCD monitors can display up to 144 frames per second, but it’s surprisingly hard to find exactly which monitors support this standard, as well as more advanced tech like FreeSync and G-Sync variable refresh rates. So, we’ve rounded them all up into one big list.
We scoured the ‘net and built this list, but if you know of a particular model that you can buy in Australia — we didn’t include drop-ship importers that operate through eBay — tell us in the comments below! We’ve also included links to Aussie product pages and rough pricing, pulled from StaticIce, as well as a quick guide to screen size, resolution, panel type and extras like FreeSync or G-Sync. Without further ado:
