Our Favorite Computer Monitors for PC Gaming
For ultrawide screens, I'd recommend checking out the MSI Mag 34CQP (9/10, WIRED Review), which is also a QD-OLED panel. It has a smooth 175-Hz refresh rate, super high brightness for excellent HDR performance, and a price tag that's pretty appealing for how much screen you're getting. I was a devout ultrawide gamer for years, and I love how much more immersive games are when they take up more of your field of view. I also like them for games like World of Warcraft where I have a zillion UI elements to keep track of, but still need to see my character. The MSI also has some unique features that justify the slightly elevated price tag. The main draw is a KVM switch, which lets you use the same keyboard, mouse, and screen with two different systems, switching between them with the push of a button. It also has some OLED-specific features to help prevent burn-in, something you'll see some form of on most OLED and QD-OLED panels. Specs Panel Type QD-OLED Resolution 3,440 x 1,440 Refresh Rate 175 Hz For some gamers, refresh rate is the most important factor, giving you time to respond in the snappiest of shooters. At 1440p, the Samsung Odyssey G6 (8/10, WIRED Review) can reach a teetering 360 Hz, and I know some of you are already dreaming of perfectly tuning your Counter-Strike 2 or Valorant settings to get over 300 fps. It still has an OLED panel for when you don't feel like getting sweaty, and FreeSync Premium Pro, which means you get better HDR support, even when your frame rate isn't smooth. It's a versatile screen and great for daily gaming or productivity. Unless you have the graphics card to power it, and plan on playing over 240 Hz often, it's worth saving the cash and getting the panel upgrade to the AOC. Specs Panel Type OLED Resolution 2,560 x 1,440 Refresh Rate 360 Hz

Samsung just launched the first-ever 500Hz OLED gaming monitor – but I think it's overkill
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Samsung has launched a new gaming monitor, the Odyssey OLED G6 The monitor is the first ever 500Hz OLED option on the market It will be available in other regions later this year Samsung's Odyssey lineup includes some of the best gaming monitors available on the market, many of which are OLEDs for immersive experiences – and it's just added another to the list. As reported by VideoCardz, Samsung has launched the world's first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor; the Odyssey OLED G60SF, which boasts an incredibly high 500Hz refresh rate and a 27-inch display at the 2,560 x 1,440 resolution. VideoCardz states that it will be priced at $1,488 (around £1,120 / AU$2,320). It's currently only available in some countries in Asia but is expected to roll out to other regions later this year. The Odyssey OLED G60SD is the current model available but instead utilizes a 360Hz refresh rate. The new OLED G60SF pushes this up to 500Hz, while also offering a VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 display with peak of 1000 nits – a step up from the G60SD's 250 nits of brightness. It's worth noting that Samsung recently announced that it plans to introduce cheaper OLED monitors, but that isn't the case with the new OLED G6. This is a monitor that should appeal to first-person shooter gamers, notably games like Counter-Strike – but aside from using tools like Nvidia's Frame Generation, there are very few games that can reach frame rates up to 500fps (or frankly, games that don't need to) even with the best PC hardware available. While there's no harm in providing a high 500Hz refresh rate, especially for browsing and games that are capable of reaching super high frame rates, the $1,488 price says otherwise. Having used a handful of monitors with different refresh rates over the years, I can assure you, you don't need a 500Hz monitor. With my Alienware AW3423DWF OLED monitor, 165Hz is perfectly fine and is the sweet spot for high-end gaming; some might even argue that 144Hz or 120Hz is more than enough. That's because the difference between them isn't significant enough for you to notice – unless you jump to one of those directly from a 60Hz display. The most impressive feature with the new Odyssey OLED G6 is in fact the VESA certification, as DisplayHDR True Black 500 and 1,000 nits of peak brightness will revitalize your gaming experience if you're upgrading from an LED display. However, there are many cheaper options for OLEDs on the market that can do the same, but just without the absurdly high refresh rates. Call me crazy, but I don't see the value of a 500Hz refresh rate monitor for gaming...

Staying Undetected: The Art of Legit Hacking In CS2
As Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) evolves, the demand for subtle and undetectable gameplay enhancements is growing. Players who value stealth and legitimacy often seek tools that offer just enough edge without raising suspicion. In this guide, we'll explore the philosophy and approach behind playing 'legit' — using CS GO 2 hacks and enhancements responsibly. Understanding Legit Gameplay Legit hacking refers to the practice of using subtle cheats that mimic human behavior. Unlike rage hacking, the goal isn't domination — it's survival and progression, often over long periods, without being caught. This approach blends skill and assistance in a way that appears natural to both spectators and anti-cheat systems. Features That Matter Aimbot with smoothing and FOV limits Triggerbot with human-like delay Visual ESP with team checks and line-of-sight filtering Recoil Control System (RCS) These tools help improve reaction and accuracy, but only when used with discipline. Why Go Legit? Many players prefer legit cheats to avoid VAC bans, overwatch reports, or social suspicion. It's about maintaining your status, skins, and trust factor. Plus, legit cheats allow players to still enjoy the core competitive mechanics of CS2. For example, premium solutions like counter-strike hacks offer configurable legit features that align with modern anti-cheat requirements while maintaining high usability. Avoiding Detection Staying undetected isn't just about the software — it's about how you use it: Avoid suspicious stats (headshot % too high, no misses) Don't top frag every game Mix in losses and passive rounds Avoid wall-peeking or pre-firing unless justified Legit play is an art of restraint and adaptation. Final Thoughts If you want to gain a competitive edge while maintaining your reputation, going legit is the safest and smartest way. Tools labeled as CS GO 2 hacks or Counter-Strike 2 cheats aren't inherently risky — it's all about how they're configured and used. The best players know when to let the cheat work silently in the background and when to rely on their own instincts.
