Rtings publishes charts in abundance, but the subjective quality of a monitor is more important. For example, a chart will tell you a monitor has low color deviation from sRGB after calibration, but won't tell you that the monitor UI takes 10 laggy clicks to switch from sRGB to DCI-P3 and will reset your selection every time you toggle HDR mode.

I admire Rtings' attempts to add more and more graphs to quantify everything from VRR flicker to raised black levels. They were helpful when I last shopped for a monitor. But the most valuable information came from veteran monitor review sites such as Monitors Unboxed and TFTCentral.

Agreed; rtings has by far the best reviews and comparisons, and detailed tests nobody else seems to do.

I originally found them because they were one of the only sources that tested for PWM flicker in monitors.

Notebookcheck and the German C'T magazine also do really decent jobs.
