Common Questions
Factual answers about monitors rankings and the DEN scoring system.
How are monitor recommendations ranked on DEN?▼
Monitor rankings weight refresh rate and response time for gaming use cases, and colour accuracy and resolution for creative use cases. Truth calibration and composite scoring (60% intelligence, 40% revenue) determine final ordering.
What is the best gaming monitor?▼
Gaming monitors are scored primarily on refresh rate (144Hz minimum for high scores), response time (1ms GtG), and panel type. IPS panels score higher for colour while TN panels score higher for raw response time. DEN uses outcome-verified signals to surface monitors with verified gaming satisfaction.
