Purchase Monitors 19 inches or less

Your screen is the heart of your gaming setup. It’s responsible for displaying the graphics generated by your PC, and its quality has a direct impact on your gaming experience.

There are many criteria to consider when choosing a screen, but the main ones are:

• Panel size: This is the length of the diagonal, measured in inches, of the part of your screen that displays images. The larger the number, the bigger your screen.
• Resolution: Simply the number of pixels on the screen. Today, the standard resolution is Full HD, or 1920×1080 pixels. However, more and more screens now feature resolutions of 2560×1440 or 4K, which is 3840×2160 pixels.
• Framerate: This is the maximum number of frames the screen can display per second. The higher it is, the smoother the display. It’s sometimes referred to as FPS (Frames Per Second).
• Response time: The response time of a screen is how long it takes for a pixel to change color, expressed in milliseconds (ms). The lower it is, the faster your screen transitions from one frame to the next. For gaming, especially online gaming, it’s recommended to aim for as close to 1ms as possible for a better gaming experience.
• Connectivity: The type of cables the screen supports to connect to your computer. It can include DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, USB-C, etc.

19-inch screens or smaller are the most compact on the market. They fit well in small spaces where a larger screen wouldn’t fit. Their small size also makes them the most affordable screens available.

19 inches is approximately 48.3 cm, meaning that with a 16:9 format, the panel measures 42.1 cm in width and 23.7 cm in height, or 995.2 cm² in total.
