There are a number of basic concepts when looking for information about them, and according to the use we give them will have to invest more or less money.
Whether at work or at home, to watch a movie or to play a video game, no model is worth. We are talking about computer monitors, those screens bigger or smaller and whose size is precisely one of the variables that can not be disdained when buying or replacing it: it is not the same if we just use the computer for leisure that if we work As graphic designers.
It's not a matter of keeping their eyes on them, either. Equally, not all budgets are the same. Therefore, today we will talk about the best monitors and what we should look for when selecting one. Which one fits your needs?
Some concepts
In the same way that when we buy a television, the type of light is very important. There may be LED monitors (whose light source are LEDs) and OLED (pixels are LEDs that generate light), although the most affordable and popular are LED technology. Also 4K, 5K and UHD, but these only get the maximum performance with a computer powerful enough.
Take into account where the monitor will be placed, to adjust the size that we are going to buy. That is to say, if it is going to be very close to our face, it does not compensate for a 28-inch one, but if it is going to be far away (for example, installed on the wall or at a distance to watch movies and videos) higher. Before acquiring it or starting to look at options, let's also measure the space available to discard an excessive width.
Also, when you consult the different options of monitors, you will see the concept of resolution in pixels, ie how sharp the image of the screen. For professionals of design and workers or lovers of the cinema will be necessary a greater resolution, but this will not be so important for the computers of an office. Today it is generally considered that at least to operate without forcing the view too much, it must be 1920 x 1080 pixels.
You can also find a concept called panel type, which refers to the image quality. It is considered that the IPS is the best quality, but also the most expensive and with the worst response times. There are also TN and VA, which looks like TN: it improves the image quality, but it raises its response time.
Finally is the aspect ratio. In other words: if the monitor is more square or more rectangular (panoramic). This will especially interest film fans, because if we do not buy a widescreen monitor we will probably see the movies with the classic black bands above and below. One of the most popular formats is the 16: 9 widescreen type. Probably this feature only interests you for professional uses or watching movies.
In addition to these concepts, you should look at some physical characteristics. For example, the number of connectors and their nature (HDMI, USB, USB Type-C ...) or a monitor foot that allows you to put it higher or lower and vary its angle. The first thing is especially interesting if you want to connect the monitor to cinematographic equipment, such as a DVD; The second, if several people are going to use that computer and want to adjust it.
For home or office
Sure you want a size as big as possible and at a good price and that can serve to browse Facebook and watch a movie. However, some 18.5 inches is more than fine for a home use or labor intensive. For this, for example, you have a model of the V5 brand of 1366 x 768 pixels for just 66 euros through Amazon sellers. LED technology with 16.78 million colors, is also ideal for certain moviegoers and creative workers (editors, photographers, musicians ...).
The LG company also has computer monitors. An affordable 19.5-inch model, which can be used for the office or home, is the TN type 20M38A-B.AEU (81 euros on Amazon). With a screen resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels, it has two USB ports.
If you are looking for a VA (because you are interested in a better response time), something more in size and you can afford to spend something more, an attractive option could be the BenQ GW2270H (99 euros on Amazon), 21.5 inches 1080 pixels) and with 2 HDMI ports.
Designers and photographers big donkey
Those who use the computer for jobs such as photography, graphic design or video editing probably want a large monitor (or two) and something better than the previous options. The alternatives are expensive in these cases, but it is a question of investigating well, knowing our needs at the same time.
For example, the Philips BDM3270QP2 / 00 (505 euros on Amazon) will serve the most demanding professionals: 32 inches, 2560 x 1440 pixels and up to 4 USB ports. It is an LCD backlit LED display, included speakers and DVI-D and DisplayPort ports. According to the manufacturer, it has 1074 million colors. In addition, it can be adjusted in numerous positions and even placed vertically.
Movie buffs
Some of the monitors we have talked about could pass perfectly the test of the best moviegoers, but there are other models that we could not fail to review. For example, the LG 29UM68-P, 29-inch screen and 2560 x 1080 pixels. Its panoramic aspect (the ratio is 21: 9) is ideal for watching movies as if they were in the cinema. Its price, yes, can pull back: 289 euros on Amazon. Now, it can also serve you to enjoy video games, so consider this option if you have a budget.
Another model, if you are one of those people who wants to see 3D movies at home, is the ASUS ROG Swift PG248Q (477 euros on Amazon). This Full HD 24-inch 16: 9 ratio is compatible with NVIDIA 3D Vision 2, suitable for playing three-dimensional content, also video games.
And since we talk so much of video games, let's now focus on the 'gamers', that there is also cloth to cut there.
Monitors for players
While an IPS monitor is the most common type, gamers should opt for a VA or their TN brother, as responsiveness and refreshment is greater. Here the inches are very important. For example, you can opt for a BenQ ZOWIE RL2755, 27 inches and 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution (279 euros on Amazon) and with a frame that reduces the reflexes with the goal, according to the manufacturer, not to distract. BenQ also ensures that the response time is 0, in real time, ideal for players who can not stand a millisecond delay.
This model has 2 HDMI ports, but for ports that have AOC G2460PF and G2770PF (277.92 euros the first and 387.92 euros the second), 24 and 27 inches respectively. 2 USB, VGA, DVI, DisplayPort ... The response time is 1 millisecond, the resolution of 1920 x 1080 and the refresh rate of 144 Hz. With built-in speakers, it draws much attention that can be turned up to 90 Degrees and place it in a completely vertical position, a feature that may also interest graphic designers or photographers.
And if your budget is exorbitant and you want to throw the house out the window, you have curved screen models, such as the LG 34UC98-W, 34-inch IPS bestiality (3440 x 1440 pixels) and 21: 9 ratio, 5 millisecond refresh rate Image or the most diverse ports (two USB 2.0, two HDMI, two Thunderbolt ...). Lovely to work and watch movies. Its price? 816 euros on Amazon. Now, is it what you need or is pure whim? If your answer is the second, you may want to go back to the beginning and stick with one of the economic options that we have proposed.
