Best Monitors With 2 Hdmi Ports

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Ultra Wide Monitor with HDMI 2.1

Samsung's successor to the hugely popular Odyssey G9 offers powerful performance in a huge 49-inch ultra-wide bezel. It is equipped with 1ms response time, 240Hz fast refresh rate and many features that make the game exciting.

With new features like mini LED backlighting and VESA DisplayHDR2000 certification, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is one of the best monitors on the market.

Samsung recently updated its hugely popular 49" gaming monitor with the release of the Odyssey Neo G9, which features mini LED backlighting, VESA DisplayHDR2000 certification and all the same high-end gaming features you could expect from the original.

In terms of specs, the Odyssey Neo G9 hasn't changed much from the original - still offering a good mix of specs for a highly immersive and smooth gaming experience. Users can expect a 240Hz refresh rate, low 1ms response time, and impressive color accuracy. The VA panel at the heart of this monitor is a new offering, offering decent viewing angles and a wide color gamut. The Neo G9 covers 125% of the sRGB spectrum along with 95% of DCI-P3.

Neo G9 designers say that the curvature of the 1000R panel helps reduce eye strain by matching the curvature of the eyeball. In addition, the G9 also offers excellent image clarity thanks to its 5120×1440 screen resolution (32:9 aspect ratio).

Inputs include 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, multiple USB 3.0 Type-A ports, 3.5mm audio jack.

The only real downside to this panel is the price. Neo G9 is almost twice as expensive as the original. However, with 2048 local dimming zones (thanks to mini-LEDs), it's no wonder the monitor sells for such a high price.

ASUS ROG STRIX XG43UQ is a premium monitor with HDMI 2.1

A list of the Best Monitors With 2 Hdmi Ports wouldn't be complete without something from the ASUS team. Here comes the ASUS XG43UQ, their large 43-inch HDMI 2.1 gaming monitor.

The new HDMI 2.1 monitor from ASUS meets all the requirements in terms of performance. Equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR, ELMB and HDR1000 support, 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT, games have never looked better.

The ASUS ROG STRIX XG43UQ is a large screen gaming monitor designed to bridge the gap between TV and monitor. Despite its large size, the ROG STRIX XG43UQ is an incredibly capable gaming monitor.

From an aesthetic point of view, ROG STRIX XG43UQ looks great. Like other ROG STRIX monitors, the XG43UQ has an extremely "gaming" feel that is characterized by ASUS branding and ROG streaks.

Is HDMI 2.1 needed for 4K

While you get the best gaming experience with HDMI 2.1, it's not required for 4K resolution. Both HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 can run at 4K resolutions at 60Hz.

Do I need HDMI 2.1 for 120Hz

For PC gamers, getting an output frequency of 120 Hz is a pretty easy task - the DisplayPort standard does it well. The same can be said for console players as HDMI 2.0 can effectively hit 1080p at 240Hz.

However, HDMI 2.0 limits the refresh rate when you run a game at 4K resolution. To achieve 120Hz on the next generation console, you'll need an HDMI 2.1 TV or monitor.

This monitor really meets the highest standards. At the heart of this monitor is a highly capable VA panel with a wide color gamut (90% DCI-P3), 4000:1 contrast ratio and VESA DisplayHDR1000 certification. It also supports 144Hz refresh rate, UHD screen resolution and 1ms response time (MPRT).

In addition, the XG43UQ comes with a range of exciting features, including ELMB sync, 10-watt stereo speakers, and VRR support for flawless performance. The only real downside to this monitor is its price.

LG OLED48C1 is the best TV with HDMI 2.1

For those looking for a big screen, there really is no better choice than the LG 48CX OLED display. While it may not be the best solution for PC gaming, it's great for console gaming and general entertainment purposes.

Despite being an entry-level TV, it performs at an incredibly high level when it comes to console gaming. Equipped with HDMI 2.1, VRR for both FreeSync and G-Sync, near-instantaneous response times and OLED technology, this TV might just be what you're looking for.

The LG 48CX may not be a monitor, but it offers an excellent gaming experience for console gamers - and can actually be used as a large screen monitor if you need one.

Unlike every other monitor in this guide, LG's 48-inch offers OLED technology. While this drives up the price of a TV, it more than makes up for it with picture quality, response times and HDR. OLED technology allows you to individually turn off pixels to help create perfect blacks and an extremely wide contrast ratio. Not only is this ideal for consuming content (movies or TV shows), but it also helps you get more immersed in the game.

Speaking of gaming, LG offers console gamers great gaming performance with HDMI 2.1 support and a host of additional features. The TV supports VRR for FreeSync and G-Sync systems for a flawless gaming experience. The near-instantaneous response time will also greatly reduce motion blur and ghosting, delivering greater clarity in fast-moving images, combined with a fast 120Hz refresh rate.

The 48" screen size is great for general use and gaming, but not ideal for competitive games like CS:GO or COD. Also, since this is an OLED panel, this TV will always be at risk of permanent burn-in. However, if you're careful, this shouldn't be a problem.

You get all this for a pretty solid price. But, when you compare the pros and cons, it's easy to see why many console gamers prefer this TV over a monitor.
