Ranking of the best 19-23-inch monitors in 2020

In this article, everyone can find useful information about different monitors (for work, play, etc.).

Nowadays the pace of life is very fast, and for every person it is inherently connected with the Internet. After all, even this article you read on a useful site via the Internet. At the moment, it is difficult to meet a person who does not know what a computer is. This gadget has firmly entered the human environment. They turn to the help of a computer everywhere - in shops, schools, institutes, medical institutions, at gas stations and in other industries. Hence the demand for the purchase of monitors arises.

There are a large number of monitors. Their choice is simply huge. It's very easy to get confused with such a variety. How to choose a display so that you will not be disappointed later? What should you pay attention to - price, diagonal, manufacturer? All these questions will be answered in this article. It will also give an overview of the best monitors with a diagonal of 19-23 inches.

How to choose the right monitor?

A monitor is an object designed to reproduce video images and other information coming from a computer. It differs from a TV set only by the fact that it does not have a tuner, it does not allow receiving signals from ordinary TV broadcasting. Most often, displays do not reproduce sound; this requires additional equipment.

Nowadays, liquid crystal monitors are being produced, which allows them to change their structure due to electrical voltage. Active matrices (transparent screen) are very often installed in them. Such screens are called transflective. This means that the screen is made up of pixels, and each of them manages its own transistor. There are lamps behind the screen that make the backlight. When power is supplied, the crystals are built in a certain order, the light from the lamps is blocked and a picture appears on the screen. From this it becomes clear that the monitor takes an image from the computer and displays it on the screen.

Choosing the right monitor is not as simple as it sounds. After all, you cannot buy the cheapest display for a gaming computer or the most fashionable body color and not see its characteristics at all. When choosing, you need to pay attention to many criteria - matrix, diagonal, price, popularity of the model.

The main thing is that the buyer must decide for what purposes he needs a monitor - games, work (eyes should not get tired), watching movies, for home, for office.

The display can handle a large number of tasks at an “amateur” level or one or two tasks at a high level (professional). Professional monitors are much higher.

Displays can be:

• Homemade. For daily use, without any professional purposes.
• Gaming. Such displays are preferred by fans of online games.
• For the office.These monitors must be able to meet specific objectives at various levels of training.
• For watching movies. These monitors differ from their counterparts in high resolution and viewing angle.
• Professional monitors for working in certain programs (photographers, designers, architects and others).

After the person has decided on the purpose of the monitor, you can proceed to the choice.

What diagonal is needed?

There is a rule - the larger the diagonal, the more powerful it is to install the video card. For gaming, video viewing and design purposes, consider 24-32-inch monitors. The larger the screen, the easier it is to see small details on it. For home and office, it is better to choose monitors with a diagonal of 19-24 inches.

What permission should be?

The image quality will depend on the selected resolution. The higher the resolution, the clearer and brighter the picture.

The resolution of 1280 * 1024 is suitable for working with documents, printing texts. Such permission can be found on monitors in schools, offices, medical institutions.

1920 * 1080 resolution is most common. Such monitors are suitable for many purposes - games, video viewing, graphic work.

2560 * 1440 and 3840 * 2160 are commonly found on professional monitors. With such a high resolution, it is very easy to edit the smallest details in a photo.

It follows from this that the choice of resolution depends on the purpose of the monitor.

What should be the response time?

The optimal response time (the moment the picture is recreated) is 4 ms. If the computer is a gaming computer, then the response time should be less. And if you need it for printing documents, then the response time can increase up to 5 ms. The higher the response rate, the faster the movie frames will change (important for movie fans). This will allow you to fully enjoy the movie and not wait for the picture to "load".

What should be the matrix?

The most common matrix is ​​TN, it is considered standard. Such a monitor is suitable for both home use and for work in special institutions (offices). You can even play and watch movies with such matrices. But there are a number of disadvantages - not very good color rendition, small viewing angle, average contrast level, the appearance of corrupted pixels.

For work in specific programs (color correction, work with graphics) monitors with an IPS, MVA matrix are suitable. Such monitors perfectly reproduce the color gamut, black. They can be installed in front of the window, because the picture will not be highlighted. The advantages are high resolution, better color rendering, wide viewing angle. The downside is the high response time.

In addition to all these parameters, it is worth paying attention to the additional functions of the monitors. On some models it is possible to adjust the screen tilt. This will allow you to set the optimum tilt angle for your work. Some models are equipped with a 90 degree screen rotation system. Gaming monitors can have a 3D effect, this will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the game. We should also pay special attention to monitors with built-in speakers and additional connectors for connecting other devices.
