ASUS has released this model of a 21-inch gaming monitor relatively recently, but the device is already difficult to find in small cities of the Russian Federation. It works on the basis of TFT IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The brightness of the model is 250 cd / m2, the contrast ratio is 1000: 1.

Immediately I want to point out a significant minus - the light at the edges of the screen, which will have to be eliminated through custom resolution utility. But even if you take into account the complex setup, then an inexpensive monitor for games fully justifies its value. The 21-inch screen works on the basis of the TFT TN matrix, which, in fact, argued the affordable price of the device.

For those users who do not know how to choose a game monitor for their computer, we present a number of important parameters that should be considered when buying:

1. Matrix type - The most affordable are TN, differing from more expensive counterparts with worse color rendering and viewing angle. IPS-matrices have good color rendering, low power consumption. VA-matrices are the "middle ground", between the options already indicated, and often have the best response time;
2. Response time - minimum 5, maximum 1 millisecond;
3. Update frequency - It is important to consider the power of the PC. If the device is gaming, then you can afford 140 hertz;
4. Screen coverage - glossy is better than matte in terms of color rendition, but reflects sunlight worse;
5. Brightness - The optimal indicator for the game screen is considered to be 250-300 cd / m2;
6. Contrast - can be static and dynamic. In the first case, we are talking about the ratio of dark to light point (1: 1000 is optimal). Dynamic contrast is a marketing move, and indicates the level of black color with minimal backlight;
7. Design - Recently, models with a thin frame or without it at all have become increasingly popular. Such models look very beautiful.

In fact, the question is not simple, as many buyers in the pursuit of inches forget about an important factor: the optimal distance from the display (taking into account the dimensions of the screen). Therefore, you should first determine the size, if you do not know which monitor to buy for games. For convenience, we highlighted the winners of the rating in different segments:

1. Best 24-inch gaming monitor - Samsung C24FG73FQI;
2. With a diagonal of display of 27 inches - Acer KG271Cbmidpx;
3. With support for 4K resolution - Alienware AW3418DW;
4. 32-inch display - Acer XZ321QUbmijpphzx;
5. Huge PC monitor - Acer Predator Z35P;
6. Inexpensive and good (21 ″) - ASUS VP228QG.

Do not forget that ease of use depends not only on the response speed, but also on a number of useful game modes. Therefore, the "extra buns" from leading brands must be studied individually!
