One of the major factors behind the popularity of PC gaming is the superior performance and visual fidelity, which you can't always get even on modern consoles. Thanks to more powerful graphics cards and CPUs, a gaming PC can deliver fantastic visuals while maintaining high framerates in today's best PC games.

This experience is further enhanced if you have a great OLED gaming monitor. Due to per-pixel dimming, OLED monitors are capable of inky blacks, true HDR, and near-instantaneous response time. You can undoubtedly enjoy the OLED experience on your console, but the fluid gameplay delivered by a gaming PC takes things to another level. Of course, you need a powerful setup to enjoy these 10 amazing PC games in all their glory on your OLED monitor.

10 Destiny 2 (2019)

OLED is the way

Destiny 2 might not be known for a compelling narrative or revolutionary gameplay, but what it does better than many other online shooters is immersing players in a fantastical world full of interesting lore, with futuristic weapons and combat. This free-to-play game is still going strong, thanks to regular content updates.

The game's visuals are one of its other highlights, enhancing immersion and allowing players to make full use of their high-end displays, especially OLED monitors. If you enjoy getting into hours of engaging fun with friends online, Destiny 2 is one of the best and most visually impressive games to experience.

9 Resident Evil 4 (2023)

Return to your roots

After the success of the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes, Capcom knew it had a sure-shot hit on its hands with a modern Resident Evil 4. A remake of the 2005 original, Resident Evil 4 polishes the experience into a perfect blend of tight narrative, smooth gameplay, and state-of-the-art visuals.

The various environments in the game lend themselves beautifully to the near-infinite contrast and excellent HDR prowess of today's OLED monitors. Whether you are exploring shadowy dungeons or dimly lit corridors, the revamped lighting and textures do a great job of inviting newcomers to this landmark game.

8 Hogwarts Legacy (2023)

An iconic world rendered beautifully

Fans of the Wizarding World couldn't have hoped for a more definitive game that allows them to live the Hogwarts life they always wanted. Hogwarts Legacy not only remains faithful to the world fans are incredibly close to, but also embellishes the exploration, gameplay, lore, and combat to deliver a well-rounded and immensely replayable adventure.

The HDR seen in Hogwarts Legacy is one of the very best available today. Whether you're marveling at the floors or walls of the insides of the castle, or the lush environments outside it, the game has plenty of eye candy for you to get lost in. Paired with a decently powerful graphics card, your OLED monitor deserves this remarkable title to spread its wings.

7 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022)

Modern in every sense

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II might not have the best reputation among its fanbase, but it isn't devoid of compelling tactical missions, addictive gameplay, or top-notch graphics. Whether you are a fan of the Call of Duty series or not, this game should be on your bucket list if you have an OLED gaming monitor.

Some of the missions, especially the Washington DC night mission, alone make an OLED monitor worth the investment. The weapon roster, detailed maps, and character models — everything has been given a modern treatment. Those who are looking for a mix of fast-paced and stealthy campaign and multiplayer experiences should not give this one a miss.

6 Need for Speed Unbound (2022)

Unbound yourself from ordinary displays

The only racing game on this list, Need for Speed Unbound justifies its spot not just due to photorealistic graphics but also a unique visual art style. It may not seem as deep or layered as some other titles in the series, but Unbound is not without its moments. You'd be forgiven for staring endlessly at the lifelike reflections on your car's body or the rain pouring down its sides.

The multiple content updates in the form of "volumes" keep the game fresh and always bring a little something for fans of the older installments. If you can manage to convince your squad of its merits, Need for Speed Unbound is bound to be one of the highlights of your OLED gaming journey.

5 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019)

The force is strong with an OLED

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order might be slightly older now that players have the option of enjoying the sequel, but that doesn't take away from the graphical powerhouse that it was. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the story, gameplay, and characters were equally memorable. After a long time, fans of the series could enjoy a well-made Star Wars game.

The game's HDR is ideal for flexing your OLED monitor's capabilities, especially when you are going toe-to-toe with enemies in lightsaber combat in dark locales. Even outside of combat, the game's galaxy-spanning narrative takes you to wondrous worlds with visuals that pop, and will make you stop in your tracks.

4 Ori and the Will of the Wisps (2020)

Prepare to be mesmerized

No one was prepared for Ori and the Blind Forest — the insanely fun traversal, breathtaking environments, and the heart-touching story. What followed was an equally great title. Ori and the Will of the Wisps did almost everything better than the original and managed to wow gamers once again.

Owners of OLED monitors are in for a treat if they haven't already experienced this one-of-a-kind platformer on their high-end displays. Visually impressive platformers might not be rare, but those on the level of Ori and the Will of the Wisps are certainly so. If you want your addictive 2D side-scrollers with loads of eye-catching visuals, then this is the game for you.

3 Doom Eternal (2020)

Killing monsters in real HDR

Doom Eternal takes the quintessential chaos and gore of 2016's Doom and dials it up to 11. It delivers on all fronts — brutally satisfying takedowns, hype-enhancing weapons, and varied environments to show off your skills. The cherry on the cake is that the game is, once again, highly optimized, and can run on almost any relatively modern gaming PC.

What it also does well is render all of its mayhem in glorious lighting, reflections, and textures. Even without an OLED monitor, Doom Eternal is a must-play for fans of beautiful action games, but an OLED display certainly enhances the experience.

2 Cyberpunk 2077 (2020)

OLED chooms for life

Perhaps there is no other game on this list that makes a stronger case for an OLED display. Cyberpunk 2077 was already a next-gen visual masterpiece before CD Projekt Red brought path tracing, also known as full ray racing, to the game. We've seen other titles like Alan Wake 2 utilize the same tech since, but Cyberpunk 2077's Night City is a novel experience.

Never before had gamers seen ray tracing implemented to this degree, and path tracing took things to the next level, allowing gamers to experience even more realistic shadows, reflections, and lighting. It does take a lot of GPU horsepower to play the game at maximum settings, but if you have an OLED monitor, I'm guessing your PC is up to the task.

1 Dead Space (2023)

Muffle your screams with glorious HDR

2023's Dead Space set out to bring a classic fan favorite to newer audiences and loyal fans alike. The 2008 game revolutionized the survival horror genre in more ways than one, terrifying and impressing players at the same time. It was one of the first games I played after upgrading my PC's graphics card back in 2010.

Dead Space was the ideal candidate for a remaster, as it was novel yet simple in its ideas and visual style, compared to the sequels. What we got in 2023 was a near-perfect reimagining of Visceral Games' original masterpiece, complete with ironed-out kinks and quality-of-life improvements. Even without much ray tracing, this game is shockingly good-looking, and your OLED monitor is the definitive way to enjoy it.

OLED gaming is expensive, but some games make it worth it

Buying an OLED gaming monitor is still not easy for most gamers, as prices haven't fallen to the levels where you'd call them affordable. However, if your budget has room to accommodate one but you're on the fence about it, I highly recommend you grab a decent OLED display. Your monitor can have a much bigger impact on your gaming experience than upgrading your graphics card for a few extra frames (that is, if you already have a great card).

There is no dearth of titles that support HDR gaming, and an OLED monitor is necessary to experience true HDR. The games I've listed above are a mix of my personal favorites and those that took gaming visuals to new heights, but you can find many others that are equally impressive.
