ROUND UP
back to menu ↑1.ASUS VP249QGR
Features
- 23. 8 inch Full HD (1920x1080) LED backlit display with IPS 178° wide viewing angle panel
- Up to 144Hz refresh rate with Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync ) technology to eliminate tracing and ensure crisp and clear video playback
OUR TAKE
ASUS used a blend of matte and gloss for the VP249QGR’s coating. Pretty much similar to the coating of the previous 23.8″ IPS panels we’ve tested. Glare is obviously miminal with this configuration but still, avoid placing your monitor against direct light sources.
Ergonomics is the weak point of the monitor – lacking to be blunt. You could tilt the monitor and that’s about it. For proper ergonomics, you have to shell out at least another 2000 Peso bill.
back to menu ↑2.ASUS 24″ 1080P
Features
- 24 inch Full HD (1920x1080) display with an overclockable 165Hz (supports 144Hz) rapid refresh rate and 0.5ms (GTG) response time
- NVIDIA G-SYNC technology removes stutter and screen tearing for the smoothest gaming experience
OUR TAKE
The Asus VG248QE is a good 144 Hz LCD monitor with a 1080p resolution and a slew of gaming-oriented features. It has very low input lag, and its high refresh rate and low motion blur make for very fluid and responsive gaming. However, its very narrow viewing angle and ordinary picture quality make it less suitable in office environments or for those that watch a lot of movies in a dark room.
The Asus VG248QE is a decent monitor overall. It does particularly well with gaming usages due to the excellent motion handling, and its good brightness means it won’t look dim even in well-lit rooms.
back to menu ↑3.Sceptre IPS
Features
- IPS Panel: The IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel cannot be beat when it comes to consistently delivering top color performance and sharp visibility from multiple viewing angles.
- 165Hz Refresh Rate: Pushing beyond the standard refresh rate, 165Hz gives gamers an edge in visibility as frames transition instantly, leaving behind no blurred images.
OUR TAKE
The size of a screen is the length of its diagonal, which is the distance between opposite corners, usually in inches. The display size of this above average monitor is 24 inches. Check our compare monitors page to see other monitors this size at a larger range of prices.
When it comes to the all important specs the max screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels, the refresh rate is 165 Hz. This is a 1080p Sceptre monitor and can run at 165 Hz.
This gaming monitor weighs 6.1 lbs – important to know if you’re taking it to live events or college. The color of this monitor is Machine Black.
back to menu ↑4.LG 32GN650-B
Features
- 32” QHD (2560 x 1440) Display
- 165Hz Refresh Rate with 1ms Motion Blur Reduction
OUR TAKE
When set side by side with an IPS panel monitor, blacks of the IPS model would even appear grayish in comparison.
However, even though the LG 32GN650 has specified viewing angles of 178° both horizontally and vertically, they’re nowhere near as wide as those of IPS panels.
While there are no drastic gamma shifts when looking at the screen from below or above, like it’s the case with TN panels, the image does degrade at an angle.
As long as you’re sitting in front of the monitor, the viewing angles won’t be an issue apart from subtle gamma/saturation shifts, though this mainly affects those doing color-critical work.
back to menu ↑5.SAMSUNG Odyssey G5
Features
- UNMATCHED IMMERSION: Get your head in the game with Odyssey’s 1000R panel, which matches the curvature of the human eye for maximum immersion and minimal eye strain
- STUNNING WQHD: Your gaming world, now astoundingly lifelike. Packing in 1.7 times the pixel density of Full HD, WQHD resolution boasts incredibly detailed, pin-sharp images. Experience a fuller view with more space to take in all the action | Operating Temperature: 10~40 ℃
OUR TAKE
The Samsung Odyssey G5 LC27G55T is a good budget gaming monitor with a 1440p resolution. It’s better suited for a dark to moderately-lit room, as it has a high contrast ratio to produce deep blacks but doesn’t get bright enough to overcome intense glare. It has a quick response time, high refresh rate, and low input lag, resulting in a smooth and responsive gaming experience.
On top of that, it has FreeSync support and G-SYNC compatibility. Unfortunately, it has sub-par viewing angles and terrible ergonomics, so it isn’t the best choice for co-op gaming or sharing content. Also, even though it supports HDR, it has a low peak brightness and can’t display a wide color gamut.
