Our dream monitors for the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora are either 4K, ultrawide, curved or all three. James Cameron created a beautiful, interconnected world with his epic sci-fi film franchise – and I know I’m not alone in imagining how life could be amongst the flora and fauna of Pandora.
The game then presents a special opportunity to explore the planet in a way that we haven’t before. In our Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora review, we were surprised just by how much you can explore without being tied to completing the next task. With that, playing on a worthy monitor could seriously elevate your gameplay. With other vast and visually stunning games like Starfield coming out this year too, these monitors would all perform beautifully.
For the best monitor settings, we recommend checking out the game’s system requirements. It clarifies you can play Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora on a multi-monitor setup, with support for ray tracing and ultrawide monitors, too. You may be tempted to check out the best ultrawide monitors for a wider selection of options as well.
Best monitors for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
If these picks are a little big for your gaming setup, or else out of your budget, we highly recommend checking out the best OLED monitors instead. Since an OLED panel lights individual pixels rather than relying on a backlight, it excels in producing inky blacks and higher contrast ratios than a widely used LED monitor which can’t block the light out entirely. For a total overhaul of your PC, you should check out the best GPUs for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Without further ado, let’s explain our top picks.
1. ASUS ROG OLED PG42UQ – Best overall monitor

This is our dream monitor for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. It features a large 42-inch 4K OLED display that’s perfect for taking in a detailed game world. Its frameless design encourages total immersion into gameplay, and would work well with either console or PC players thanks to its abundance of connectivity. You’re completely covered here with an HDMI 2.1 port that increases the max bandwidth to 48Gbps, plus there are 3.5mm audio jacks, a DisplayPort 1.4 connector, and 2 x HDMI 2.0 ports. There’s also the option to attach a webcam on the top of the monitor.
The high contrast ratios of the ROG OLED PG42UQ produce fantastic colors and deep blacks which is ideal for taking in the breathtaking visuals of Pandora. Though the size is a little gargantuan for a desk, it does make this monitor great for multiple use cases. It could easily double up as a TV, especially with the monitor’s pretty decent 2.1 channel speakers and thin profile.
The blazing 0.1ms response time and 144Hz refresh rate are big contributors to tipping this monitor into the high-end category. It’s what might give it the advantage over the Gigabyte AORUS FV43U, especially if you play other games that require from a faster response time.

2. ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B – Best budget monitor
ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B
Screen size
34in
Resolution
3440 x 1440p
Response time
4ms (GtG)
Refresh rate
165Hz
- 1500R curvature feels natural
- Built-in speakers
- Excellent for entertainment and gaming
- Wall mountable
- Not suited for competitive gaming
- Struggles to achieve true blacks
For our non-OLED budget pick, we’re recommending this surprisingly good value ASUS TUF VA panel monitor. A standout feature is its extra USB ports found at the bottom of the monitor that comes in handy for plugging in peripherals and charging devices. We’d consider it to be one of the best curved monitors on the market.
As for its performance for a game such as Frontiers of Pandora, its ultrawide display still offers a good level of immersion that you’re getting with our more expensive picks. If you have the money, we’d still recommend an OLED panel over VA for Frontiers of Pandora – the disadvantage of VA is that it struggles to reach those pure blacks. That being said, the moonlight on Pandora means you’re never in total darkness so it doesn’t have to be a dealbreaker. To make up for this, it has a good contrast ratio which is great for those who like to game under the cover of darkness.
The monitor can run at a 144Hz refresh rate at 1440p, featuring a wide color gamut and FreeSync Premium which should keep screen tearing to a minimum (also helped by ASUS’ Extreme Low Motion Blur technology that keeps the game visuals sharp).
All-in-all, this monitor is good value for money and comes highly recommended to enjoy the visuals of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. For more budget picks, you should consider the best budget 4K monitors, or else go for a lower resolution if you’re worried about frame rates with the best 1080p monitors.
3. Alienware AW3423DW – Best ultrawide monitor
Alienware AW3423DW Curved Gaming Monitor
Screen size
34″
Resolution
3440 x 1440
Refresh rate
175Hz
Display technology
QD-OLED
- Good viewing angles
- High color accuracy
- Variable refresh rate
- Excellent HDR performance modes
- Expensive
- 21:9 isn’t supported by all games
- No HDMI 2.1
The Alienware AW3423DW curved monitor is an epic display that will allow this Avatar game to shine with its wide color gamut, high contrast ratios and silky smooth gameplay thanks to its Samsung QD-OLED panel. Seriously though, imagine climbing through the trees and taking in the breathtaking views of Pandora with this monitor. *Chef’s kiss*.
Its curved display also works wonders with a game like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Expect minimal ghosting and screen tears – meaning there’s little to take you out of the game. The 3,440 x 1440p resolution is still sharp enough to enjoy all the details of the game and will suit those whose GPUs can’t handle 4K resolutions. Like our top ASUS ROG pick, this QD-OLED monitor has an anti-reflection coating which also helps minimize distractions.
The actual design of the monitor is pretty sci-fi in typical ASUS ROG fashion, featuring a white plastic back design and a blue glowing light. For those who like an uncluttered setup, this Alienware monitor has built-in cable management and VESA support, meaning you can mount it on the wall with one of the best ultrawide monitor arms if you fancy it.
