Discover how Japannext monitors can transform your gaming experience and help you climb the competitive rankings.
1. Why is it important to choose a good monitor for Valorant?
A noticeable competitive advantage
Valorant is a game where shooting accuracy and reaction speed are crucial. Unlike single-player games where immersion is key, every millisecond counts in this competitive FPS. A high-performance monitor allows you to spot your opponents faster and adjust your shots with greater precision.
Better game reading
The tactical phases of Valorant require excellent readability of visual information: enemy positions, skill effects, and environmental details. A high-quality monitor significantly improves this readability, allowing you to make more informed decisions at critical moments in a game.
A smoother gaming experience
Smoothness is essential in Valorant, especially during rapid fire exchanges or sudden movements. A suitable monitor significantly reduces stuttering and motion blur, providing a more enjoyable and less tiring experience over time.
2. Essential technical specifications for Valorant
Refresh rate: top priority
For Valorant, refresh rate is the most important feature. While standard monitors display 60Hz, competitive gamers are moving towards much higher frequencies:
- 144-165Hz: recommended entry level for a smooth experience
- 200-240Hz: intermediate level offering a significant advantage
- 320Hz and above: expert level for the most demanding gamers
A high refresh rate allows you to see your opponents' movements earlier, significantly improving your reaction time in the head-to-head duels that make all the difference in Valorant.
Response time: the key to sharp action
A fast response time (1 to 4ms) limits motion blur during fast-paced action. For Valorant, where every pixel can mean the difference between hitting or missing an opponent's head, a response time of 1ms is ideal. This feature ensures a clear image even during the frequent fast camera movements found in the game.
Resolution: balance between clarity and performance
While Full HD (1920 × 1080) remains the competitive standard for maximizing FPS, WQHD (2560 × 1440) offers a good compromise for powerful configurations. For Valorant, where visual clarity is important for spotting opponents from a distance, this higher resolution can offer an advantage on some large maps, provided your PC can maintain a high frame rate.
Display technology
Modern IPS monitors are currently the best compromise for Valorant, offering:
- Excellent color reproduction for easy identification of enemy agents
- Superior viewing angles that maintain image quality even during fast movements
- Response times now comparable to TN panels traditionally favored for FPS games

4. Optimize your monitor for maximum performance
Recommended settings in Valorant
To get the most out of your Japannext monitor:
- Enable “Performance” mode in the graphics settings
- Disable vertical synchronization (V-Sync) to reduce display latency
- If your computer allows it, unlock the FPS limit to exceed the screen refresh rate
- Adjust the contrast settings to optimize enemy visibility
Optimizations on your Japannext screen
Japannext monitors offer several optimization features for Valorant:
- Use the preconfigured “FPS” mode, specially calibrated for shooting games
- Enable the “Black Equalizer” feature to improve visibility in dark areas
- If available, use motion blur reduction for fast-paced action
- Set the brightness to a comfortable level (usually between 30 and 50%)
The importance of positioning
The position of your screen greatly affects your performance:
- Place the screen about 60-70 cm from your eyes
- Adjust the height so that the top third of the screen is at eye level
- Avoid direct light sources that create glare on the screen
- The ergonomic stand of the 24.5” IPS FHD 320Hz Gaming Monitor makes these adjustments easy
5. Frequently asked questions about monitors for Valorant
Does the refresh rate really affect my performance?
Absolutely. Tests have shown that gamers using high-frequency monitors (200Hz+) react on average 15-20% faster than those limited to 60Hz. In Valorant, where battles are often decided in a fraction of a second, this advantage is considerable.
What screen size should I choose for Valorant?
Most professional Valorant players use screens between 24 and 25 inches. This size allows you to keep your entire field of vision without excessive eye movement. 27” formats offer a more immersive experience but require more eye movement to monitor peripheral information such as the mini-map.
Is it better to prioritize refresh rate or resolution?
For Valorant, refresh rate should be the priority. A 1080p monitor at 240Hz will generally offer a greater competitive advantage than a 1440p monitor at 144Hz. However, if your computer setup is powerful enough to maintain high FPS at 1440p, the Japannext 27” IPS WQHD 165Hz Gaming Monitor offers an excellent compromise.
Are G-Sync or FreeSync technologies important for Valorant?
These adaptive synchronization technologies are less crucial for Valorant than for other genres of games. Competitive gamers often prefer to disable any form of synchronization to minimize input latency. Nevertheless, they can improve visual comfort by eliminating screen tearing during less intense training sessions.
