Frequently Asked Questions
- What size desk is best for gaming?
- Most gamers need at least a 55-60 inch wide desk to comfortably fit a monitor, keyboard, mouse pad, and speakers. L-shaped desks are popular for multi-monitor gaming setups. Make sure the desk depth is at least 24 inches for proper viewing distance.
- Is a 240Hz monitor worth it for gaming?
- For competitive FPS games like Valorant or CS2, yes — the smoother visuals provide a real advantage. For casual gaming or single-player story games, a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor offers excellent value and you likely won't notice the difference.
