We're swiftly entering gaming monitor hunting season, and that means deliberating over an endless list of display features and specs. If you're seeking a new screen, you'll no doubt be already deliberating over whether to invest in a swanky OLED panel, stick with a traditional IPS display, or give brighter mini LEDs a try. Before you even think about any of that tech tomfoolery, though, I need those of you who play games across multiple systems to consider grabbing something with a remote control.
Yes, you heard me: a monitor with a remote control. If you strictly play on a singular gaming PC and rarely feel the need to fiddle with OSD settings, you'll likely shrug and get on with your day. However, if you've got a console perched next to your rig or anything else plugged into one of your panel's multiple sources, having access to wireless controls is invaluable, and it'll save you from the pain of using the dreaded gaming monitor nipple.
