The best monitors for early 2022.

We all need various kinds of screens, whether it be the screen of a smartphone, TV, or a monitor familiar to everyone, because, without them, it would be impossible to perceive information in the form we are used to, whether it be games, movies, even a banal reading of this text. Especially taking into account the fact that in recent years many have become accustomed to working from home, the choice of a monitor must be approached carefully to choose one that will not only be convenient to work with but, in general, is pleasant to use for work and leisure. Our article today breaks down the top 10 monitors for early 2022. Here, we’ll go over budget and high-end options. But before you start, you should first go through the main characteristics important to the famous and vital to know about.

1. The monitor’s purpose: gaming, work, or general-purpose.
• For gaming monitors, the most important thing is a high refresh rate (refresh rate), low response speed, as well as the presence of AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync technologies, which allow you to avoid screen tearing (Visual artifact, which is a horizontal tearing of the image Occurs due to an attempt to render multiple frames in one render, since the video stream is out of sync with the screen refresh rate).
• For monitors for work, it is worth giving preference to color accuracy, because this affects not only the fact that you will see more realistic colors, but it will also reduce eye strain, because. More often than not, monitors with more accurate color reproduction also have softer backlights and, therefore, closer to natural colors so that the eyes do not have to adapt and be constantly stressed due to “unnatural” colors.
• For general purpose monitors (for watching movies, reading, and in general without any particular task), it is worth looking at the contrast. The higher it is, the better you will distinguish colors, but this will also allow you to use them in games and work. In case of using various system settings (color profiles, day/night profile settings, etc.), you can adjust the monitor for universal work so that its use does not tire your eyes.

2. Permission. The higher the monitor’s resolution, the more precise the image will be. At the moment, it makes no sense to buy monitors smaller than Full HD / 1080p (/ 1920×1080). But if you have a big budget, it makes sense to look towards 4K (3840×2160), or choose the middle option in the form of QHD / 1440p (2560×1440), which is often the sweet spot for the price and the presence of a high refresh rate.

3. Contrast and colors. Contrast can be considered one of the most essential parameters in image quality. The higher it is, the better. 1000:1 can be viewed as a standard to start from.

4. Matrix type. Most often, the accuracy of color reproduction and the backlight quality depends on the matrix type. In the case of image quality, the order from best to worst is VA > IPS > TN. Monitors with a VA matrix have high contrast and excellent color reproduction, comparable to IPS. However, the latter is usually considered closer to natural colors.

5. Diagonal. Currently, 24 inches is considered relatively small, and 27 inches has become the norm. But also recently, 31.5-32″ is becoming popular, which is quite large, but not as significant as 43+”, which will no longer fit standard size tables.

6. Color rendering standard. There are a reasonably large number of them, but everyone is guided by the two main ones, sRGB and DCI-P3. In most cases, you should choose those that are created for sRGB, because. by default, Windows, Internet resources, and games without HDR support use it. Still, suppose you want the most saturated colors (for example, for working with video or images). In that case, you should look at monitors with directivity in the DCI-P3 standard.

7. Refresh rate (sweep frequency). The higher it is, the more image updates occur per second. Regular monitors have a refresh rate of 60-75 hertz, while gaming and high-end monitors have a refresh rate of 120+ hertz. A high refresh rate guarantees a smoother image (less “trace” is left after a frame refresh), this can be easily seen if you just quickly move the cursor on the Windows desktop, at a low refresh rate you will see a frequent “trace” of the cursor, but the higher the frequency updates, the less often the “trace” becomes. It also reduces screen tearing, but it is also affected by AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync technologies, which synchronize high frame rates with the monitor’s refresh rate, which eliminates the main cause of screen tearing – desynchronization between the frame rate of your graphics card and the refresh rate at the monitor.


Well, now knowing the key parameters that we will refer to, we can go to the monitors themselves:

Such a monitor can be advised to those who like a high screen lift since the long leg allows you to significantly raise it above the level of the table. In addition, the tilt adjustment and the curved screen will allow you not to experience any disadvantages because the viewing angles will ideally fit under the field of view of the monitor used. Also, those who like competitive games will love the low input lag mode, which minimizes delays, allowing you to react to events as quickly as possible. In addition, the monitor software will enable you to have up to 6 settings profiles, between which you can switch by pressing one button. Well, for lovers of fine-tuning, there is the possibility of adjusting the gray level and fine-tuning the brightness of the screen zones.

Perhaps one of the best monitors for gamers on our list, a 1440p resolution at a diagonal of 27 inches allows you to enjoy a clear and large image, in addition to this, the IPS matrix will give excellent color reproduction out of the box, without the need for calibration, and the flicker-free backlight will not give your too tired eyes. Also, low latency and a refresh rate of 165 hertz will provide a very smooth image, which, coupled with HDR, will allow you to enjoy games and movies fully immersion. Also, to ensure that the eyes are not subject to unnecessary stress, the monitor has BenQ’s proprietary Eye-Care feature set, which includes intelligent brightness adjustment and blue brightness control. With flicker-free backlighting, this will allow you to spend more time at the monitor without the resulting feeling of eye fatigue, which is very important in our time.


Summing up our list of monitors, I would like to emphasize the main points again that we recommend paying attention to when choosing a monitor:
1. Determine the main focus of your pastime in front of the monitor. If you play many games, you should look for monitors with low latency and high refresh rates, and flicker-free backlighting is also helpful. If you are going to use a monitor for work, we recommend choosing a monitor with an IPS matrix first of all, which will give the best color reproduction and viewing angles, as well as choosing a monitor with a flicker-free backlight and the ability to adjust the blue level to reduce eye strain and minimize monitor fatigue. If you want to choose a monitor for general use, choose a monitor with a VA matrix. It will give you good color reproduction, which is suitable for work and gaming. In addition, you should pay attention to high contrast.

2. Synchronization technology – AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-Sync, both technologies are inherently similar and even similar, but monitors are not always compatible with both options, but in recent years, G-Sync has developed a compatibility mode well and NVIDIA quite often updates the list of supported monitors, so if you choose a gaming monitor, it is also recommended to check whether the synchronization technology used by it is suitable for your video card (such information can be seen on the manufacturer’s website in the specification, as well as on the AMD / NVIDIA website in the hardware compatibility lists) .

3. Size and general convenience. No matter how trite it may sound, but before buying, carefully consider whether the monitor is suitable for your desktop, because. Often monitors of a larger diagonal have a larger stand, which can take up quite a lot of space on the table, so you should not forget about this either, but in this regard, you can also look at various brackets / separate clamp stands that have a standardized VESA mount.
Choosing a monitor for yourself should not be a big deal knowing these three main aspects.
