• 2x HDMI 2.

3) Gigabyte M32U

For its price range, it should appeal to users looking for a monitor that's over 30 inches. On the connectivity side of things, it has:

• 1x Display Port 1.4
• 2x HDMI 2.1,

2) Samsung Odyssey Neo G7

Samsung's Odyssey series of monitors have been recurring names in the world of premium displays. The Neo G7 continues the trend of being cream-of-the-crop. The monitor has a 32-inch display that boasts a 1 ms, 165 Hz refresh rate on top of the 3840 x 2160 resolution. With QUANTUM HDR 2000, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, G-Sync compatibility, and more, it leaves no stone unturned in its quest to be the best.

However, it also usually comes at a hefty price of $1.2K. Thankfully, the ongoing asking price of $999.99 on Best Buy is more digestible, thanks to current holiday sales.

1) LG OLED Evo C2

With a massive 42-inch display, the LG OLED Evo C2 is a force to be reckoned with. In all honesty, this is more of a 4K Smart TV than a traditional monitor. It features an OLED display, resulting in far more vibrant colors and deep blacks than LCDs. It also features true HDR tech (similar to the Samsung Odyssey Neo C7).

Typically, the fear of OLED burn-in is valid for The Witcher 3 fans, and the monstrous $1.3K price tag can be tough for many to swallow. It also features a low-tier refresh rate of just 120 Hz. However, taking everything into consideration, players won't find a better option than this. Best Buy currently has it on offer for just $899.99, making it a steal at that price.
