Now on the windows of computer hardware stores you can see a huge number of monitors. But not everyone knows that most of them are not suitable for the gameplay. To choose the right gaming monitor, there are a lot of parameters to consider.
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing to do is to understand that the manufacturer of such equipment plays practically no role. You can give a lot of examples when a certain model of a little-known company will surpass the monitor of a well-known company in all respects.
Step 2
Next, you need to decide on the monitor diagonal. Don't chase big screens. Monitors with a diagonal of 19 or 21 inches are ideal for providing a high-quality picture during the gameplay.
Step 3
Stop using widescreen monitors right away. The fact is that the bulk of games released before 2008 were designed for old type monitors. Those. the aspect ratio should not be 16: 9, like widescreen screens, but 4: 3. Otherwise, you risk having two black bars on either side of the monitor.
Step 4
Pay special attention to the delay in the image appearance. For the bulk of liquid crystal screens, this parameter is five milliseconds. But there are monitors with latency of 2, 1, or even 0.1 milliseconds. This parameter is very important in fast-paced games, especially when it comes to online shooters.
Step 5
Find out the maximum screen frequency. Modern monitors must support 90Hz. But don't go chasing the highest screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD). HD quality with a resolution of 1280 × 720 will be quite enough.
Step 6
Pay attention to the dynamic contrast of the image. In this regard, LED monitors are leading, capable of producing up to a million colors per dot.
Step 7
The last thing to consider when choosing a monitor for gaming is the ability to connect a digital signal through the DVI or HDMI ports. This is especially true for monitors with high image resolution.
