It may lack a snappy name, but this monitor’s killer app will grab you immediately: it’s a 27-inch 3D gaming monitor, featuring LightBoost technology to counteract the dimness that has plagued such devices in the past.

Price: £500 | Asus

The Asus VG278H is a 27-inch LED-backlit monitor with NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 3D technology, which to be concise blows other 3D gaming experiences out of the water.

3D Vision 2 offers the best glasses and the best 3D tech (even if it is sadly restricted to PC gaming), but this monitor takes things further with its LightBoost feature, which increases brightness to as yet unseen levels for a 3D screen.

It’s also height adjustable, making it by far the finest 3D gaming monitor we’ve ever set two eyes on.
