The monitor is an important device in any computer. The degree of comfort when working, resting or playing at the computer depends on its quality. Therefore, you should seriously approach the choice of a monitor and figure out which one is considered good enough.
Monitors differ among themselves in different parameters, therefore, it is worth seriously delving into what each of them means. After that, it will be enough to simply decide which monitor is right for you.
Monitor screen size
Initially, you need to decide what monitor size you need. Screen size is measured in inches diagonally.
1 inch equals 2.54 cm.
Models with a diagonal of 19 inches are in the greatest demand at the moment. This is a classic option for both the office and home.
Those who like to watch movies or play on the computer are advised to buy a larger monitor. For example, with a diagonal of 24 or 27 inches.
Screen resolution
The next thing to pay attention to is the screen resolution. Resolution refers to the number of pixels that the monitor displays vertically and horizontally. For optimal performance of 19-inch monitors, the extension should not be less than 1280x960 pixels. For 22-inch monitors, 1600x1050 pixels are considered normal.
In this case, the size of the point should not exceed 0.3 mm. Points with a size less than 0.278 are considered a good enough indicator.
Viewing angle
Each monitor has a limited viewing angle. If you are going to use a computer alone, you should not pay much attention to this indicator. However, to view photos or movies with friends, you need a monitor with good viewing angles. Choose those models that have a viewing angle of at least 160 degrees vertically and horizontally.
Please note if the model you like has the ability to adjust the monitor vertically and horizontally. It happens that even in monitors with a good viewing angle, the image may be slightly distorted.
Monitor appearance
In most cases, it is worth paying attention to this factor as well.
The surface of the monitor can be glossy or matte. The picture in a glossy monitor will be brighter, but any light will be reflected from such a monitor, and this will affect the usability. Therefore, if you buy such a monitor, it is best for working in a dark room. In models with a matte surface, the picture is less vivid, however, this does not create any discomfort in work.
Display color does not affect anything. Therefore, trust your taste and choose the one you like.
Different ways to connect to a computer
The monitor can be connected to a computer in different ways: through a digital or through an analog input. If there is a digital input, there is a direct connection between the monitor and the computer. Thanks to this, the picture is clearer and brighter, which cannot be said about the analog input.
