I'm planning to surprise my boyfriend with a new monitor for his PC as a birthday gift. However, I'm feeling a bit lost on what to consider when shopping for one. What are the top brands I should be looking at, and are there any compatibility issues I need to keep in mind? He primarily plays games like Path of Exile and League of Legends, so I'd love some guidance on this!

First, do you know if he has any space limitations for the new monitor? It might help to measure his current screen size diagonally, too. I'd suggest looking into 27-inch, 1440p, IPS monitors with at least a 144Hz refresh rate for gaming. Those specs are generally a sweet spot for most gamers! If you find out what he’s currently using, that’ll help narrow down the options.
He has two older 24-inch monitors, and he's mentioned they're not great anymore. The goal is definitely to upgrade his experience for those long gaming sessions, especially when new patches drop. Appreciate the advice!
