Passionate Australian gamers helping you make informed decisions about your next gaming display.
GamingMonitor.au was born from a simple frustration that many Australian gamers know all too well. Back in 2023, our founder Marcus was searching for a new gaming monitor to replace his ageing 60Hz panel. What he found was a confusing landscape of technical jargon, conflicting reviews written for overseas markets, and very little information relevant to Australian buyers. Refresh rates, response times, GTG measurements, MPRT figures, panel types—the terminology alone was enough to make anyone's head spin.
That experience sparked an idea: what if there was a dedicated resource for Australian gamers that cut through the marketing speak and provided genuinely helpful, educational content? A place where enthusiasts could learn not just what to buy, but why certain specifications matter and how they translate to real-world gaming performance.
Today, GamingMonitor.au has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of Australian gamers. We've spent countless hours testing monitors, measuring input lag with specialised equipment, evaluating colour accuracy with calibration tools, and stress-testing panels across everything from competitive shooters to cinematic RPGs. Our team understands the difference between manufacturer-quoted response times and real-world pixel persistence. We know why a 240Hz IPS panel might be perfect for your CS2 sessions while an OLED would better serve your single-player adventures.
What sets us apart is our commitment to education first, recommendations second. We believe that an informed consumer makes better purchasing decisions. That's why we invest heavily in creating comprehensive guides that explain the technology behind modern gaming displays. Whether you're trying to understand the difference between G-SYNC and FreeSync, wondering if you really need HDR, or curious about the practical benefits of ultrawide aspect ratios, we've got you covered.
Our mission is straightforward: to be the most helpful, trustworthy gaming monitor resource for Australian gamers. We achieve this by maintaining complete editorial independence, testing products using consistent methodologies, and always prioritising our readers' interests over affiliate revenue. When we recommend a monitor, it's because we genuinely believe it offers excellent value for Australian buyers—not because it pays the highest commission.
We're also committed to keeping our content current. The gaming monitor market evolves rapidly, with new panel technologies, connectivity standards, and features emerging regularly. Our team continuously updates our guides and recommendations to reflect the latest developments, ensuring you always have access to accurate, up-to-date information.
Our team brings together diverse gaming backgrounds and technical expertise. From competitive esports players who demand the lowest possible input lag to content creators who require colour-accurate displays for video editing, we cover the full spectrum of gaming monitor use cases.
