onitors are an

important com

ponent of your

rig and each year

we see a ﬂood of new monitors.

With each passing year, we

are witnessing a steady move

towards full HD panels, as that

is the only way we can justify the

media we consume. Unless you

are on a strict budget, it does not

make sense to go for monitors

which are not full HD.

Not only did we receive full

HD monitors, but there were

a few which went beyond the

humble 1920x1080 pixel count.

We got a couple of monitors

which scaled the 2560x1440

pixel mark. We also saw a

Out to buy a new full HD monitor for your rig? Confused about the options? Let us make

things easier and help you in deciding the best monitor for your budget

lot of variety in terms of the

panels being used. We had the

twisted neumatic (TN), in-plane

switching (IPS) as well as the

vertical alignment (VA) panels.

This year we decided to keep the

minimum size of the monitors at

21.5-inches (22-inches) as any-

thing under that does not make

sense for home use unless you

are on the strictest of budgets.

A monitor’s shelf life is around

four to ﬁve years, so you should

make sure that it counts.

23-INCHES AND

UNDER

Features

Here we have ﬁve monitors

each from a different brand

with three 21.5-inches and

two 23-inchers. Dell S2240L

is the only monitor which has

a glossy screen and an edge-

to-edge glass design. For a

21.5-inch monitor, that is quite

interesting as the other moni-

tors: BenQ GW 2250, Philips

227E3QPHSU, NEC E231W

and ASUS VS 238H have the

standard matte ﬁnish on the

screens. The Dell S2240L has

eight preset modes including

multimedia, movie, text and

so on. It has an Energy Use

bar atop the OSD menu, which

shows you power consump-

tion. On turning on the Energy

Smart option, the monitor will

keep the power low by adjusting

the backlighting levels, so that

you can actually notice the back-

light adjustment as you work on

the monitor.

The Philips 227E3QPHSU

also has a power-saving fea

ture called Power Sensor, which

reduces the monitor’s bright-

ness if it senses that there is no

one sitting in front of the mon-

itor. It ensures that by infrared

communication – the two IR

sensors on the monitor’s front

face transmit and receive IR

signals to ensure the monitor

is not lying idle. Thanks to its

IPS panel, the viewing angles

are really good. It also features

a Smart Contrast option which

dynamically adjusts the contrast
