Top 5 19" monitors

Budget-priced, but not bad in terms of content, a Dell monitor with a diagonal of 19.5 inches and a comfortable 16:9 aspect ratio, which is almost ideal for home movies or modern games. However, the impression is slightly spoiled by the maximum resolution, which is limited to 1600x900 pixels, but this is partly offset by the pixel response time, which is only 5 ms. The display of this model is built on the basis of a TN + film matrix with WLED side illumination and a matte anti-glare coating. Accordingly, you should not expect ultra-clear contrast ratio, here it is 600:1, and large viewing angles. On the other hand, this monitor is the best in terms of economy and consumes no more than 15 watts in working mode and 0.3 watts in sleep mode.
