Phil was waiting for her at home, while she was at a new event with Sophie her friend was mounting a pol dance pole in her bedroom,

"Hey I'm home!" she said aloud closing the door, put her handbag on the table and picked up the package she found next to her,

"Beautiful, welcome back" said Phil as he got out, "That arrived just now ..",

"Uhh it's from Thomas .." Y/N smiled opening it, ".. finally see you tonight on video call" she said happily, they hadn't seen each other for almost 3 weeks and they had heard a few times that call made her immensely happy,

"The pole is fixed and stable if you want to take advantage of it" Phil teased seeing the gift contained in the package, the woman laughed,

"I think I will," she said turning over in her hands the sexy outfit her boyfriend had sent her, a black silk bra and panties set that covered very little,

"I'll leave you to the preparations dear" said the man putting on his jacket, "See you in the next few days if you're free" she hugged him,

"Thank you so much for your help darling .." she smiled, squeezing him, ".. if I don't break my neck tonight I'll call you in the next few days to have lunch together", the two greeted each other and the woman went up to the room to start getting ready, she made a long bath and got dressed, put on the set and completed it all with fishnet stockings and the red heels that Thomas loved, put on the silk robe, put on make-up and took a bottle before going back to the room, tried a few turns on the pole to test it stability, he trusted Phil but did not want to fly live video so he did a couple of tests, the pole was really stable, he put the chair in front of the PC to mask the surprise and waited for the man to call her.

Punctually at 9 o'clock the video program rang, the woman checked that the dressing gown was tightly closed, she smiled and clicked on the call,

“My love,” she said melting as she saw the man, “How are you? How are things going? " she asked noticing her weariness on her face,

"Darling, how nice to see you" replied Thomas sitting comfortably in his chair, "It's okay, I'm starting to feel the shock but I'm fine" he smiled, "I thought I found you much less covered .. didn't you like the gift?" he asked her seeing her dressed,

"I really liked my King .." smiled mischievous Y/N uncovering a shoulder to show him the shoulder pad, ".. it's just that I also have a gift for you and I didn't want to waste the surprise ..",

"..I'm curious, wait .." he said getting up and out of sight a few seconds, "..I put the do-not-disturb sign and locked it, what do you have in mind Kitty?" he asked curiously,

"Why don't you get comfortable first?" the woman encouraged him, "Maybe you would be more comfortable on the sofa or in an armchair ..", Thomas laughed taking the laptop and moving to the sofa,

"Here is good?" he asked slyly, reappearing in the video, Y/N nodded and turned on the music as she stood up moving her chair and showing the man the new piece of "furniture" she had put in the bedroom,

".. interesting .." Thomas said leaning to the backrest to be more comfortable. ".. Come on Kitty .. let me have fun .." he said smiling at her,

the woman moved towards the pole remaining on her back, stroked the smooth surface of the shaft moving her hips trying to be as sexy as possible, the course she had done with her colleagues now came in handy, she undid her robe before grabbing with all and two hands the pole and kneel, she looked over her shoulder smiling at the man who was staring at her from the monitor, threw her head back by sliding the dressing gown over her shoulders swaying her hips, detached her hands one at a time bending backwards, leaning on the floor letting the robe slipped until it stroked her hips, showing the suit that the man had given her, she felt him wince when she got up and slipped on the pole, bending over to let Thomas look at her,

"..Kitty you are full of surprises .." he exclaimed as Y/N climbed up wrapping her legs around the pole before turning upside down holding onto her calves as she moved supple shoulders and breasts, as if it were the easiest thing in the world. world, stood up straight and went down to the ground holding with her hands rotating on the pole like a butterfly, came to the floor with a split, got on her knees turning towards the man, bending down sliding her hands on the floor, arching her back and raising her ass, she remained in position catching her breath, she felt the man panting, pulled herself up showing her breasts getting back on her knees, looked up smiling at the PC screen where she saw that Thomas had undressed and was touching himself,

"Stop .." he gasped "..look at me Kitty ..",

"I have your orders my Lord" the woman smiled and stared at the man without moving a muscle,

"..Open your legs for me .." he whispered "..be admired with that dress .." he said getting comfortable, Y/N straightened her back highlighting her breasts, put her hands behind her back and unfastened her bra doing it slipped up to her wrists, she turned it in her hands and used it to tie herself by bringing hands behind head, continuing to stare at Thomas opened her legs by sliding her knees on the silk of the robe, moved hips following the music she leaned back to arc touching the floor with her shoulders, heard the man moan, his breathing accelerated, she slipped again towards the pole pulling herself up with her hands, resting back with her legs bent, remaining exposed so that he could enjoy the show, Y/N moved slow on the pole as she had seen her teacher do a thousand times, she felt provocative and sexy and Thomas was appreciating, they were eye to eye saying nothing, she moved and he followed her,

".. come closer Kitty .." he moaned to the limit, the woman crawled up to the monitor getting back on her knees, clutching her breasts with her hands, the man came with a growl and relaxed leaning on the back of the sofa looking at her,

"Lustful little girl" he laughed, composing himself, "I want to find the pole in the same spot when I get home ..",

"Of course Thomas, I hoped you liked" she laughed with him, they stayed almost an hour talking, he told her about the promotional tour and how the fans were welcoming and warm, she told him about the latest releases with Sophie and what they had discovered the bricklayers, he too liked the idea of ​​the billiard room, the woman wanted to talk again but he realized with the man he was dead tired,

"My love you better go to bed" she told him smiling, "You don't want to be seen with dark circles tomorrow?" they laughed together,

"See you soon my Queen .. and thanks for the show" he laughed winking at her before closing the call, Y/N got up from the floor, picked up her dressing gown, finished undressing and went into bed herself, squeezed the Thomas's pillow and fell asleep.

She had kept free in the following days, Erik had called her telling her that the driving and theory test was booked for the week after and he wanted to make sure she was doing enough guides, the woman checked the calendar "Thomas was right .." she thought realizing that it had now been a month and that soon they would be together again, even though the schedule for the European tour was almost as much a nightmare as the one just done, they would enjoy a couple of days at home and she would make sure that Thomas rested doing everything possible, while he waited Erik made a shopping list, he wanted to prepare his boyfriend's favorite dishes, it would soon be his birthday but he didn't want to organize anything so as not to stress the man, he took his cell phone and wrote to his family,

§Day guys sorry if I write only now but I just realized that it's almost my birthday and it had slipped my mind! §

§Poppy is not like you usually organize months in advance§ almost everyone replied,

§I know but with all the commitments of this period I didn't pay attention to it..§

§Does old age advance so quickly? § Roby asked with a smile, §Do you think you are doing something? §

§We will be in Italy for the premieres so we could have dinner together if you are free ... § she wrote hopefully, she had always celebrated with them and did not want to give it up if she could,

§Of course, however, we will be together at the various evenings we will put your dinner in the middle! § Gian replied,

§Unless Tom has already done "private" programs § wrote Niko,

§I also wanted to talk to you about this .. do not tell him please, he does not know the date so shut up so he does not go crazy to surprise me, he is already stressed enough as well§ wrote Y / N, she was sorry not to celebrate properly but there were other priorities at the time, he could wait,

§Are you sure? § Rice asked, §We'll organize something secretly then§, she took her bag and joined Erik who was waiting for her outside the house,

"Hello Y/N, today we will start testing the exam circuit" he said cheerfully as the woman got into the car, "When you are ready follow the directions of the navigator and let's go",

"Okay" she replied nervously, it was the first time she let her move, on one side she was happy but on the other she was agitated, she felt much calmer when he drove her, they crossed the city smoothly and headed first outskirts,

"Turn right .." Erik said pointing to a shed, Y/N followed the road and parked next to the doors, a man joined them,

"Erik hi .." he said cheerfully greeting the boy, "..you must be Miss Hiddleston, I'm Ewan" he introduced himself, letting them in, the woman followed them looking around, Ewan made her sit down and took her file, "Here here, I see that she has studied a lot .. ok .. she should sign here and here" he said giving her the forms and a pen, Y/N read before signing, they were the exam forms, "The driving school has advised that it could have problems with writing so we have prepared the quizzes with the translation next to it for your convenience "he smiled leading the woman to a room where they were other people sat down, pointed to a counter and went out, the woman smiled and sat down looking at the papers in front of her, "in England it will use to test .." she was thinking when a girl entered,

"Good morning everyone you have 45 minutes" she said to the class before sitting down and starting the big clock behind her, Y/N looked around and saw that the others had opened the file and were already reading did the same thing, put the translated sheet in front of her to understand what she was reading and began to take the test, she thought carefully about the answers before marking them as she could not change them,

".. you still have 5 minutes .." the girl at the desk said aloud, Y/N saw that many had already finished and she got anxious she was not even halfway through the test,

"Miss Hiddleston still has 25 minutes, we understand that the language can be a problem for her" she told her accommodatingly,

"Thanks but you don't have to favor me .." she replied embarrassed, everyone was staring at her,

"It's not to favor it, normally foreign students have more time to take the test", the woman picked up the sheets and concentrated hard to finish, 20 minutes she handed over the test together with the others,

"Thank you all, take a seat in the waiting room for the guide" the girl invited all, Y/N joined the others reaching Erik in the room, the instructor was waiting for her talking to a man,

"It's her" he said when she approached, "Y/N he's Victor your instructor for today" he said introducing the man,

"Nice to meet you" Victor said introducing himself, "Erik was informing me about your progress"

"My pleasure" Y/N answered shaking his hand, the man led her way towards what looked like a track, a sort of path was marked by stripes on the asphalt and colored pins, the woman got into the car and waited to know what she was should do,

"Position lights, mirrors and belts as you find most comfortable and let's go" said the man smiling, "If you look in front of you you will see the arrows to follow in the path", Y/N observed the asphalt and noticed small yellow arrows that they set course,

"I'm ready .." the woman answered, snapping the seat belt and checking that Victor had put it on too, ".. the seat belt please" she said to the man who smiled, put on the seat belt in turn and waved her back. leave, took a pad and began to write while Y/N moved agile and nervous between the pins,

"Great .." said Victor, "..turn right and follow the blue arrows" he motioned her to continue in an inhabited area, "When the light turns green you can leave" he smiled at her, Y/N was surprised, the area inhabited it looked like one of the many sets where she had been with Thomas, she followed the arrows paying attention to the signs, the intersections and the people who moved, at the end of the path she found herself in difficulty .. the arrow indicated one direction the sign another , not knowing what to do, she approached putting the 4 arrows,

"Victor sorry what should I do in this situation?" she asked after putting on the yellow vest and re-hanging the belt,

"You did the right thing" he replied finishing filling out the sheets on the file, "Many focus on the arrows and do not notice the prohibition so they are wrong"

"Did I go well?" asked the woman still nervous, the man smiled at her without giving her an answer and made her go back to the starting point where Erik was waiting for her,

"Excellent work seen from here" he gave her courage, "Let's go back and see how you went" he smiled opening the door, the others present were divided into small groups, each close to their instructor, the girl present at the written test passed between the groups giving the results ,

"Here you are" she smiled giving the man her papers,

"So let's see .." he said seriously, "At the writing you did 98 out of 100, you made two mistakes but I expected it" he smiled at Y/N, "The guide was perfect 100 out of 100, this time your anxiety helped you not to make mistakes "he laughed, the woman was proud of her result, she could still improve before the exam," If you allow me I'll take you for a drink to celebrate .. ",

"To party?" replied the woman not understanding,

Erik put a card in her hand, "Congratulations, you managed to get your driver's license in less than a month" he laughed at her at her expression,

"Erik I don't understand .." Y/N said confused, what she thought was a test turned out to be the exam, "..you lied to me!" laughed,

"My job was to prepare you, if I had told you that the exam was today you would have been blocked by anxiety" he explained, "I'm sorry, now we go to the pub",

"Erik I don't think that's the case .." Y/N tried to refuse the invitation without sounding rude, she didn't seem to have encouraged the man in any way,

"Quiet is not a romantic thing" Erik laughed seeing her in difficulty, "It is traditional for the instructor to pay for a drink" he explained, pointing to the other test takers, "We will all go together",

the woman felt embarrassed for having thought wrong then she was struck by having passed the exam and she went wild like a girl, Erik laughed at her accompanying her towards the car.

Thomas had written to her that he would arrive on the 9 o'clock flight from Tokyo, Y/N checked that everything was in order for his arrival, lunch was ready and only to be heated, the pool was on in heating, the champagne was in the fridge and the cake was getting cold in the kitchen, she prepared herself carefully, put on jeans and a blouse, put on comfortable shoes for driving, went down to the garage and looked around, the mini seemed the most suitable, she didn't want to risk scratching certain cars, started the engine , he maneuvered slowly and left for London, the man would have a couple of days of relaxation before leaving together for the European tour and they would spend them in the countryside away from everything and everyone, the master builder had given her the keys and the house it was exactly how they wanted it, arrived at the airport she left the car at the valet and headed excited and happy to the arrivals board, Thomas's flight was on time, she sat down not paying attention to the people watching her,

"Y/N" he heard the call from behind her, saw Luke turning around and smiled, he didn't think he would go to the airport,

"Luke what are you doing here?" she asked imagining the answer, the man came up smiling,

"If I'm not with Tom I usually pick him up when he comes back" he smiled, "Ali he didn't tell me you were coming, I would come and get you",

"I didn't even think about telling her, or about notifying you" the woman apologized, "I wanted to surprise Thomas and leave for the countryside right away, but if you're here it means he has to come to the office first" she said, giving up on the job of the boyfriend .. again,

"It's a matter of a couple of hours at the most" replied Luke professionally, "We have to organize well hotels, flights and cars for the tour",

"I understand quietly" smiled Y/N, "Do you mind if I take it to the agency?",

"No problem" the man smiled in turn, "I know how you feel, during the promotion periods my boyfriend never sees me ..",

"Actually even your life, like Ali's, is hell at times" laughed the woman following him towards the gate, the flight had landed, the woman just had to follow the cries to understand where it would come from, she too jumped like a fan, she ran up to him as soon as she saw him appear and threw herself into his arms ignoring the people taking pictures or approaching to get an autograph, they simply became estranged from the world,

"Hey" Thomas said of her kissing her, "You're beautiful",

"Hey" Y/N replied with tears in her eyes, "I missed you", Luke took the man's luggage and they headed for the parking lot,

"I'll wait in the office" he said to Y/N getting into the car, Tom started to follow him,

"Where do you think Mister Hiddleston is going?" the woman asked laughing, the man stared at her dumbfounded,

"I thought I'd go to the office Darling.." he replied holding her hand,

"And that's where we will go .. but not with Luke .." she said mysteriously, ".. please follow me", they walked towards the private parking, the woman took the keys and went to the car,

"My Queen I'm too tired to drive .." the man began, Y/N laughed at her as he opened the passenger door, Tom got in and continued to look at her confused,

"If you allow today I'll be his driver" laughed Y/N taking the brand new license out of her purse and passing it to her boyfriend, Tom took the card and read,

"Oh my God, my love, did you get your driver's license?" he asked her amazed,

"I was fed up with rental cars and taxys" laughed Y/N reaching out to kiss him, "I wanted to surprise you .." the man squeezed her,

"Oh Darling I'm so proud of you" he whispered, "What are you waiting for, start the engine and let's go .. the sooner I finish and the sooner we can be alone" he said mischievously stroking her knee, he laughed at her when Y/N sighed excitedly,

"Another surprise .. they gave me the keys to the house yesterday, how about two days in the countryside my King?" the woman asked as she followed the navigator to the agency, Thomas nodded happily and enjoyed the journey, they wasted three hours between schedules and flight schedules at the office and finally left for the countryside.

24 Days

It was Friday, you were in the middle of doing your two-hour-long stream that you did every Friday. Since you took weekends off from your own streams you did a long one every week. It worked out, you seemed to get a lot more views on Friday anyways.  All the donos seemed to ask about you and Wilbur, you forced a smile to tell everyone you guys were well and that you’re very happy together. The viewers seemed to be happy with your responses and didn't catch you falter.  You were on the DreamSMP cleaning up things and repairing things from any creeper explosions, as having holes in the walkways annoyed you to no end because it didn't look pleasing to the eye. Many ties you were passed by Fundy, Tubbo, and even Tommy.  The in-game chat stated to be spammed by Tommy, VC 2 VC 2 VC 2 over and over again. 

“Well chat, let’s see what Tommy wants,” You giggled and switched to discord.  “Hello Tommy,” You smiled, wondering what type of shenanigans he was up to today, you noticed he was also streaming so you knew it was something that was going to be very entertaining to the stream.  “Y/N!” He yelled  “Tommy!” You yelled back, matching his energy.  “How do you do?” His sudden calm tone almost made you burst into a fit of laughter.  “I do well, Thomas. What are you up to tonight?” You asked, smiling to yourself when using his full name.  “Well, you see, Y/N. See here’s the thing. I am out of supplies, I don’t even have iron to my name Y/N-” “Do you want me to help you get some?” You offered, cutting him off  “Well, actually I was hoping you could just give me some.”  “Tommy,” You laughed, “That’s- unfortunately, that not how it works my friend.” You paused, taking a sip of your water, “I am more than willing to help you go mining, I know a pretty good spot actually, but I’m not going to just give you stuff for nothing.”  “C’mon Y/N you could write it off your taxes as a charity donation,”  You had to give it to him, although Tommy could be annoying at times he was so effortlessly funny, you were almost certain that he didn't even have to try. 

“Ah yes, hang on let me see what I have to give to Tommy’s charity fund,” You laughed, looking through your inventory, pondering for a few moments, making it look like you were going to give him half your stack of iron only our stream before clicking to the three seeds you’d picked up some time ago and throwing them at his feet. His character's head went from looking at you to the seeds, then back to you and back to the seeds again, you pulled up his stream on your other monitor so you could see his face, trying so hard to not burst out into laughter when you saw his unamused look. 

Feeling bad you pulled up a donation, giving Tommy Five bucks so the text-to-speech would work, “Tommy Charity Fund.” You sent and waited for it to go through.  He paused, hearing the dono tts voice, before looking back up at you in the game.  “Fuck you,” He said running away. You couldn't suppress your laughter any longer and it all fell out at once, chat exploded into laughter and emotes, everyone found it hilarious.

A few seconds after you were still in the voice chat with Tommy, he had ventured off to go mining, I guess stealing from people wasn't going well. Since the last war, nobody has really been gathering supplies, taking a break from the lore to just get things done around the server. Tommy still bringing up the ‘charity fund’ you found it hilarious. 

“You’re a bitch you know that,” He mumbled, you knew he was only joking, with Tommy you never took anything to heart, if he had a true problem with you, you know he would message you privately.  “Tommy,” Wilbur's voice came over discord, making you jump slightly.  “Hi Wilbur,” He said, sounding like a little kid when their mom gets them in trouble.  “Apologize to Y/N.'' Wilbur's voice was playful, yet stern, sounding exactly like the older brother who was put in charge of his younger siblings. 

After a second, you could see Tommy bow his head on his stream that was still pulled up on your other monitor.  “Sorry, Y/N. You’re not a bitch.” He said  “It’s okay Tommy,” You chuckled  “Thank you.” Spoke Wilbur before leaving the voice chat. 

You and Tommy stayed on call until his stream ended. You were left alone, talking to your chat. Without anyone else there to keep a consistent conversation you started to daze off, forgetting you were on stream, yawning and leaning forward onto your desk. Your back hurt from how long you’d been sat in front of the monitor. 

Your discord made a noise again, but this time you didn’t bother tabbing out to see who had joined.  “Hey, Y/N,” Wilburs soft voice came across your headphones  “Will,” You smiled, sitting up  “You look tired, how long have you been up?” He asked 

You looked at the clock, it was only 11 PM but you could have sworn it was later.  “Since one,”  “AM or PM?” Will asked  You looked down, “AM,” You mumbled. “You should go to bed,” He said You sighed, knowing he could break you eventually, as your eyelids were drooping shut and your eyes were burning. “Its not even that long, Wil, I’m fine.” You argued 

“How long have you been streaming?” Wilbur asked  “I’m almost at my five hour mark, I’m like forty-five minutes away,”  “End your stream early and get ready for bed than we can chat,” His voice was soft and warm speaking over your stream, your chat exploded, loving Wilbur and you together.  “But I’m so close, just a few more minutes,” You sighed, tabbing out of your game and switching the stream to a full face cam. “I’m sure they wont mind if you end a little early, you've been streaming for a while, love.” He continued, slowly wearing you down. “I can even entertain your chat for a bit while you go get ready for bed, or even make yourself a cup of tea, then when you come back, it will be close enough that you can end the stream, how does that sound?”  You sighed, knowing he had won. You looked at chat and back to the timer of how long you've been on stream, “Okay.” You nodded. 

“Alright Chat, I’m sorry for ending early but you heard the man. Next week will be extra long to make up for this, I promise.” You said, looking at the chat, everyone was spamming ‘goodnight’ and ‘goodbye’  “It was nice spending this fine evening with you all, but I must go now, I will see everyone Monday. Bye!” You ended stream 

“Hi, Wilbur,” You smiled to yourself after ending stream  “I’m going to call your number now, and you can go get ready for bed, okay?” He said  “Alright, Wil,” you nodded, closing all the windows you had open on your pc. 

After shutting everything off you grabbed what you needed and went to the bathroom. Wilbur called you halfway through taking your makeup off, you had eyeliner smudged all around your eyes when you answered his facetime.  When his face popped up on your screen, he was wearing his glasses and a big smile, his hair was a mess and he was already in bed. 

“Getting ready for bed?” He asked, as if he didn't already know.  “Of course,” You shook your head, leaning closer to the mirror making sure you had all the bits of makeup taken off before washing your face with warm water  Picking up your phone you held up a peace sign, making Wil laugh and attempt to take a sneaky screenshot.  “Hey, no, delete that, I look terrible.” You quickly argued after hearing the noise.  “You do not.” He was fast to respond. “You look refreshed, you're glowing.” you shook your head at him as you walked back to your room through the dark house. 

Your roommate had already gone to bed, close to an hour ago. You were always the last person up, being an internet person with many American friends who are in a different time zone and a night owl at heart. You flopped down into your soft pillows, pulling your duvet over yourself and propping your phone up on your laptop so you could still see Wilbur and he could see you. You pulled the corner of the blanket up to hide your face. 

“Don't do that, I want to see your face,” Wilbur frowned.  “No you don’t,” You shook your head  “Yes,” He spoke, “I do.” You moved the blanket so it wasn't all the way covering your face but it was still pulled up enough that your shoulders were covered.  “You realize next week you’ll be here for your stream?” Wilbur said.  “I do now,” You pinched the bridge of your nose, “I’m sorry, I didn't think of that,”  “Its okay, you can stream from my computer,” He smiled. “It will surprise chat,”  “Oh my god, can you imagine, they're going to go crazy,” You chuckled  “They will,”

Wilbur continued to tell you about how he was truly getting excited to have you meet him in person, but his soft voice had been lulling you to sleep, your eyelids struggling to stay open and your warm bed weighing you down. Eventually you were out. Wilbur didn't notice until he asked you a question and did not respond. Your laptop screen was still shining light on you, and he saw you were asleep against the black screen, smiling at you. He snuck another screenshot, making sure the sound was off this time. 

“Goodnight, Y/N.” He said sweetly before getting comfortable in bed himself and slowly drifting off.

The best monitor 2018: the top 10 monitors and displays we’ve reviewed

http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=17039 The best monitor 2018: the top 10 monitors and displays we’ve reviewed - http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=17039 Just a few years ago, we were hearing from all kinds of pundits that computers were on their way out of relevance. Just ask Apple, with its ‘what’s a computer?’ ad campaign. However, if you take a look at the best monitors we’ve gathered here, you’ll see why the naysayers couldn’t be more wrong. In 2018, the best PCs are more powerful than their laptop and tablet brethren with far fewer drawbacks than you might think.The best monitors won’t increase your computer’s performance, but anything you’re looking at with your PC will definitely look a lot better. You don’t even need to worry about breaking open your piggy bank either – many of the best monitors available today are affordable enough for anyone to get in on the action. They can also feature higher resolutions and refresh rates than you may be accustomed to – a win for everyone.And, now that 2018 has rolled around and manufacturers are showing off their new screens, it might be the best time to pick up one of the best monitors. So, whether you’re looking for gaming monitor or the best USB-C monitor for your MacBook or Dell laptop, TechRadar has you covered. We’ve created a list of the best monitors you can buy in 2018 – each tested and reviewed personally by us. So, without further ado, let’s dive in.  Now that computers are equipped with the encoding technologies that can natively display at the intended resolution, 4K monitors are in increasingly high demand. That explains why BenQ has added the PD3200U, a massive 32-inch Ultra HD display, to its Designer Monitor range. Intended for worker bees, the company has, seemingly by mistake, crafted a screen that gamers can enjoy wholeheartedly as well, so long as they can fit it on their desks. Then again, given the comparatively sluggish 4ms response time, the PD3200U is best suited for creators. 3D designers, for instance, will be grateful for the inclusion of a CAD/CAM mode, while everyone else will revel in the factory-calibrated color accuracy and Rec. 709 adherence. Read the full review: BenQ PD3200U It might be marketed as a gaming monitor, but if you need an ultra-wide monitor, you really can’t do much better. With its fantastic color support, strong contrast ratio and lightning-fast 120Hz refresh rate – everything you do on your PC is going to feel quick, snappy and it’ll look good while doing it. It comes in on the expensive side, but when you consider all of the tech that’s built into the AOC Agon AG352UCG6 Black Edition, it’s really not that hard to see why it’s one of the best monitors you can buy in 2018 – just make sure you have the hardware to power it.Read the full review: AOC Agon AG352UCG6 Black Edition  When it comes to the best monitors, sometimes we’ll come across something that manages to combine so many high-end features that it seems almost alien – the Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ is one such display. Not only does this gorgeous display feature an Ultra-HD 4K display, but it tops that off with HDR and Nvidia G-Sync tech – a trifecta of high-end features that makes this the best monitor you can buy today, if you have the cash. If you’re doing any kind of photo or video editing work, you really can’t go wrong with this display.Read the full review: Asus ROG Swift PG27UQ  When you start to get tired of that classic 16:9 aspect ratio, nothing does the trick like a cinematic, 21:9 screen. It may not be ideal for watching Netflix, or playing one of the few games that still don’t support it but the Acer Predator X34 is a great example of what an ultra-wide monitor can do. Boasting an attractive aluminum bezel and a polygonal stand that resembles a crow’s foot, this massive 34-inch panel is a marvel to behold. What’s more, armed with Nvidia’s G-Sync tech, you don’t have to worry about enabling VSync and stressing out your graphics card. The Acer Predator X34 does all the heavy lifting for you. This is about as immersive as a gaming monitor gets. Read the full review: Acer Predator X34 Rarely we run into the kind of technology that’s so far ahead of what everyone else is doing that we’re left dumbfounded. The Dell UltraSharp UP3218K is the most recent example. Finding a monitor that can reach the raw beauty that the UltraSharp UP3218K does would simply be nearly impossible. It’s not just the resolution, either – Dell went a long way to make sure that the build quality and color reproduction were the best in the business, and it pulled it off. It’s a very expensive monitor, but it is aimed at professionals – it’s unlikely many consumers would have the horsepower to drive this thing anyway. So, if you’re a professional looking for the best monitor for your work, look no further. Read the full review: Dell UltraSharp UP3218K  This product is only available in the US and UK at the time of this writing. Australian readers: check out a fine alternative in the BenQ PD3200U  If your PC can't swing 1440p or 4K gaming, the Asus MG248Q is the next best thing. Despite exhibiting a mere 1080p twisted-nematic, or TN, panel rather than IPS, the Asus MG248Q makes up for any shortcomings with lightning fast response times and Adaptive Sync. The latter reduces screen tearing if you have an AMD graphics card, a clear demonstration that the MG248Q tailors to the budget gamer. On the other hand, even Nvidia fans can rejoice at the 144Hz refresh rate. But, without the right GPU equipped, you might be better off saving for the G-Sync equivalent Asus ROG Swift PG248Q. Read the full review: Asus MG248Q This product is only available in the US at the time of writing. UK and Australian readers: check out a fine alternative in the Acer S277HK   Depending on your budget, it might break the bank in classic Alienware style, but Dell’s 25-inch gaming monitor won’t let your screen tear. Whether you’re siding with Team Red or Team Green for your graphics needs, there’s a configuration designed with specifically you in mind. Taking away some of the heavy lifting away from the GPU that would otherwise be spent on VSync, the Alienware 25’s 120Hz refresh rate might actually be viable. So, as long as your graphics card can handle it, you can expect to reach 120 frames per second. The 1ms response time is just gravy.  Read the full review: Alienware 25  You might not believe it at first glance, but the BenQ Zowie XL2540 is every bit the gaming monitor that the Asus Predator X34 is. And though it may not seem it from the outside looking in, it does its job remarkably well too, sacrificing dazzling lighting effects for a zippy 240Hz refresh rate and nigh-instantaneous 1ms response time. There’s no G-Sync or FreeSync, as this monitor assumes you already have a rig that’s plenty capable of eliminating screen tears on its own. Instead, this monitor keeps it simple by supplying you with lots of visual presets, an “S Switch” control pod for managing those presets and even a pair of adjustable light screens.Read the full review: If you’re running games using AMD- or Intel-based graphics and want to get into ultra wide displays without spending a fortune, this is the monitor to look out for. At 34 inches diagonally, the LG 34UC79G-B is equipped with AMD FreeSync for screen tear elimination and a 21:9 aspect ratio best suited for games and cinema. Despite the resolution being lower than a lot of other widescreen displays on the market, there’s no denying that the LG 34UC79G-B pulls off a crisp image nonetheless – and with stunning color accuracy at that. Plus, you can change the height, which is more than can be said for even some of the pricier 4K monitors available today.Read the full review: LG 34UC79G-B If you care more about frame rate more than graphics or resolution, this one's for you. Because of its mind-blowing 180Hz refresh rate capabilities, the Asus ROG Swift PG248Q takes the 60fps gold standard for gaming and triples it – provided you're equipped with a rig that can handle the extra stress. While you're unlikely to enjoy Forza Horizon 3 at 180fps on Ultra settings given its high demand, a higher refresh rate is more than welcome in fast-paced, competitive games that don't necessarily depend on a wealth of resources. Plus, as one of the most affordable G-Sync displays on the market, it helps that you can rely on the monitor to prevent screen tearing, too.Read the full review: Asus ROG Swift PG248Q Gabe Carey and Bill Thomas have also contributed to this article Get one of the best monitors on sale this Black Friday Source link
