The 10 Best 240Hz Gaming Monitors for Fortnite in 2027

If you play Fortnite on a PC that clears 240 fps, this is where we'd spend the money. Monitors Unboxed measured about 0.3 ms pixel response and roughly 0.3 ms of processing delay, so frames land fast and clean. And at 360Hz, you keep headroom for the day a GPU upgrade lifts your frame rate.

Picture the last circle of a ranked Zero Build match, one opponent left and both of you boxed up. They swing out for a quick peek, and the frame stays sharp instead of trailing, while deep blacks pick them out against a dark interior. Day to day, the stand adjusts every way, the fan is near silent, and a DisplayPort cable comes with it. Dell's three-year burn-in cover applies to Dell-direct purchases, so check the seller's terms on Amazon.

Light is the real weakness. Facing a window, the glossy screen lifts blacks to a gray-purple, and owners on Dell's forum describe VRR flicker and white flashes in dark scenes, with one fixed by swapping in a certified DP cable. Our call: for a dim room and a strong PC, it's the one. Still saving for a first 240Hz screen? The Acer Nitro XV272U W2 (#10) costs far less.

Here's the 360Hz OLED to buy when Fortnite isn't only on your PC. Speed and input lag sit level with our top pick, but the port list is longer: two HDMI 2.1 inputs that take 4K 120Hz, 90W USB-C, a KVM and a three-port USB hub. Tom's Hardware found nothing to gain by recalibrating it.

Say your cousin comes over on Friday and wants to squad up on the PS5. You switch to the HDMI 2.1 input, turn on Fortnite's 120 FPS mode, and the console runs smoothly. On Saturday morning you flip back to the PC at 360Hz for solo ranked. A tripod mount on top takes a webcam or mic, and ASUS packs a DisplayPort cable and a zippered ROG pouch.

It has one known weak spot. Owners on the ROG forum keep reporting bright flicker in dark game scenes while VRR is active, and current firmware helps. Is it worth paying more than the Alienware? Only if you'll use the console inputs or the USB-C. For PC-only Fortnite, the Alienware AW2725DF (#1) does the same job.

Think of this as our top pick's twin, kitted out for a busier desk. It uses the same Samsung 360Hz QD-OLED panel, so motion and lag match, and KitGuru called its motion clarity the best it had tested. MSI then adds a KVM, 90W USB-C and two HDMI 2.1 inputs, and cools it all without a fan.

That pays off the moment you go live. Your gaming PC runs Fortnite while a laptop runs OBS and chat. The KVM moves your keyboard and mouse to the laptop to answer a mod, and one USB-C cable keeps it topped up. A console fits on HDMI 2.1 at 120Hz with HDR, and burn-in is covered for three years.

Here's the thing, though: firmware matters. RTINGS notes an update fixed input lag at lower refresh rates, so update before you judge it. Text shows slight color fringing, SDR tops out around 250 nits, and the stand feels cheap for the class. If you stream or work here, it's our pick. If you only game, the Alienware AW2725DF (#1) has the sturdier stand.

Want the fastest 1440p OLED for Fortnite? Start here. At 480Hz with near-instant pixels, its motion is about as clear as 1440p OLED gets, and Monitors Unboxed clocked total input lag below 1.5 ms. Its MLA+ panel also gets bright in HDR without the dimming QD-OLEDs show.

So picture tournament practice in Performance mode with your PC holding 450 fps. Piece control and rapid edits look smoother than on a 240Hz screen, and the matte coating hides the glare from the window beside you. It runs fanless, and every port reaches 480Hz. A one-year owner on YouTube reports no burn-in after heavy daily use, though he questions whether 480Hz is needed.

That question is the honest catch. Without 300-plus fps, you won't feel the extra speed. The software is the other one: RTINGS and owners on the ROG forum report settings that switch themselves off. If your PC tops out near 300 fps, the Alienware AW2725DF (#1) is the better value.

This one is built around how competitive players actually sit. Its 1440p 480Hz WOLED has very low lag, and The Display Guy measured about 23 ms of total system latency. But the reason to pick it is the 24.5-inch mode, which shrinks the image to tournament size at up to 480Hz.

So imagine turning that mode on before a Tuesday night scrim. The whole box fight sits in your eyeline like on a LAN monitor, with OLED clarity. The stand's small offset base leaves room for wide mouse swipes, and FPS Pro and Pro+ modes help you spot enemies. Sony has since raised its warranty to three years with burn-in cover.

Know what you're giving up, though. The DisplayPort 2.1 input is half bandwidth, so 480Hz still needs DSC. There's no USB-C, colors aren't accurate out of the box, and Sony advises turning VRR off if you see flicker. The newer 540Hz M10S II is out, but this model is still sold new. Don't need the 24.5-inch mode? The ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDP (#4) adds a fully matte screen.

This is the pick for one big OLED that handles Fortnite and everything else. Even at 4K and 240Hz it's quick: TFTCentral measured 0.47 ms average response and found lag very low. Monitors Unboxed rates it the best 32-inch 4K WOLED yet.

Say a Fortnite live event starts at 2 p.m. At 4K on 32 inches, the show fills your view with deep blacks and highlights near 1,300 nits. Ten minutes later, dual mode takes you to 1080p at 480Hz for ranked. A console runs at 4K 120Hz over HDMI 2.1, and a Neo Proximity Sensor blanks the panel during a snack break to help guard against burn-in.

Still, there are trade-offs. Point a lamp at it and you'll see the bulb mirrored back. The USB-C port charges at just 15W, VRR flicker appears as frame rates move, and 4K at 240 fps needs a top-end GPU. For a big-screen setup with a strong PC, we'd buy it. For pure 1440p ranked play, the Alienware AW2725DF (#1) costs far less.

This is the 480Hz OLED for players with a monster PC and a headset habit. Engadget's reviewer, on an RTX 5090, could feel the step up from his 240Hz QD-OLED in Rocket League and Overwatch 2. And unlike the other 480Hz picks here, its DisplayPort 2.1 input carries full bandwidth, provided your GPU also has DP 2.1.

Picture a late-night duo session. Your headset plugs straight into the monitor's 4-pole jack, so you hear footsteps under your ramp while the push plays out at 480Hz. Its stand raises, tilts and swivels, and the box holds HDMI, DisplayPort and USB cables.

The catch is flicker. GamingTrend saw it in every Adaptive Sync mode it tried, and LG's own menu warns about it, so plan on VRR off and a high, steady frame rate. Text looks a little hazy next to an LCD, SDR color needs calibration, and current firmware matters for 60Hz lag. If flicker bothers you, the Sony INZONE M10S (#5) is the 480Hz pick we'd try first.

Love OLED speed but worry about burn-in? This is the answer. The Nitro XV273U F5 is a 1440p IPS at 540Hz, and Tom's Hardware, running it on an RTX 4090, found aiming felt OLED-like, with about 14 ms of input lag. Its overdrive and strobing are among the best available, with blur staying low down to about 300 fps.

Say you grind for eight hours every weekend with Fortnite's HUD in the same spot. An IPS panel can't burn in, so you never think about pixel refreshes. Contrast measured about 2,000:1, nearly double a typical IPS, so shadowy builds look less washed out. There's also a 1000Hz mode at 720p for very light games.

Now the downsides. HDR has no local dimming, so it adds nothing. There are no USB ports, no DisplayPort cable in the box, and switching refresh modes takes a trip to the System menu. It's also new, so owner reports haven't built up yet. Fine with OLED and play with the lights low? The Alienware AW2725DF (#1) has the better picture.

Split your week between Fortnite and HDR story games? This is our value pick. It's a VA Mini LED at 1440p and 300Hz, with 1,152 dimming zones. In TFTCentral's measurements it topped 1,800 nits in bigger bright HDR scenes and about 600 in SDR, far brighter than any OLED here.

That brightness earns its keep in a sunlit room. Say your desk sits by a south-facing window on a Saturday afternoon. Fortnite's colors stay punchy instead of fading, and later a dark HDR game looks deep with little blooming. Two HDMI 2.1 ports take a console at 120Hz, and MSI lets you update firmware yourself. MSI packs a DisplayPort cable, so bring your own HDMI one.

Motion is where it gives ground. VA pixels smear in dark, fast scenes and don't fully settle at 300Hz. And owners in RTINGS' discussion thread say one firmware update changed local dimming for the worse, though feedback is still thin. Only care about Fortnite at 240 fps? The Acer Nitro XV272U W2 (#10) costs less.

Saving up for your first 240Hz screen? This is the cheapest one we'd trust. The Nitro XV272U W2 pairs a 27-inch 1440p IPS panel with about 3 ms of input lag and roughly 400 nits of brightness. Monitornerds called it an excellent buy for esports on a budget.

So say your PC holds near 240 fps in Fortnite's Performance mode. Builds and edits feel much quicker than on a 144Hz screen, and 1440p shows more detail at range. The stand adjusts every way, with a little wobble. Acer includes both DisplayPort and HDMI cables, but use DisplayPort, since HDMI stops at 144Hz.

Here's the catch: it needs high frame rates. Overdrive can't change with FreeSync on, so Monitors Unboxed saw heavy ghosting at lower frame rates, and its review unit's backlight flickered. There's no sRGB mode either. If your PC stays near 240 fps, it's a smart first step. Want HDR that actually looks like HDR? The MSI MAG 274QPF X30MV (#9) is the step up.
