10 best monitors under 20,000 rubles

A sought-after monitor that sells like hot cakes in stores, which once again confirms its quality and optimal balance of characteristics. It is positioned as a universal model suitable for office and home use. Accordingly, on board is an IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:9 with a display diagonal of 21.5 inches. Also in the arsenal there are eye protection features and support for AMD FreeSync dynamic screen update technology. Novice gamers will love the 75Hz screen refresh rate and the built-in headphone output.

Despite a good price / quality ratio, as well as a lot of positive reviews, users also note a lot of shortcomings. In particular, this model lacks a built-in USB hub, a more convenient system for setting operating parameters, as well as a modern frameless design for completing gaming multi-monitor systems.

This monitor is the best offer in the segment in terms of affordability, but maintaining the technical parameters at the highest level. The model received a 21.5-inch IPS matrix with WLED backlighting, an option to neutralize flicker and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Yes, the setting is office, plus a response time of 5 ms, so we won’t recommend it for games, this is more a monitor for work, especially considering its low power consumption (up to 25 W). But in general, we have an excellent value for money for a very low cost, even by the standards of the segment up to 20,000 rubles.

As for the nuances indicated in customer reviews, the model is praised for its convenient menu with a lot of operating modes, attractive design, high quality matrix and excellent picture. Among the shortcomings, the weak sound of the built-in speakers, insufficiently thin bezels and the constant glow of the power button are more often mentioned.

The American brand HP offers many budget monitors, but it is the HP 22x that is in very high demand around the world. The secret of success lies in the versatility of this model: it looks great both in the office and on the home computer desk, where it offers great opportunities for gamers. At 21.5 inches diagonally, the HP 22x has a TN-matrix (1ms response) with a resolution of 1920x1080, a convenient 16:9 aspect ratio, and a refresh rate of 144 Hz.

This monitor consumes a maximum of only 40 watts in operating mode, and even then when the built-in speakers are activated. The developers have managed to equip it with a blue color reduction function to protect the eyes, as well as a very bright 270 cd / m2 backlight. If we talk about the shortcomings, then users in their reviews note the flimsy design of the stand, the location of the settings buttons on the rear panel is not the best, as well as possible heating due to the built-in power supply design.

An excellent model that, at a modest cost, offers the best set of necessary features for beginner gamers.There is a high-quality 21.5-inch display with an IPS matrix, a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, a refresh rate of 75 Hz and eye protection features. In addition, the screen of this model is frameless, i.е. supports the creation of multi-monitor configurations, which in the price range up to 20,000 rubles can be considered a very significant plus. We also note the presence of support for AMD FreeSync dynamic screen refresh technology and a high level of dynamic contrast, reaching a ratio of 20M: 1.

Among the shortcomings of the AOC 22V2Q, it is worth highlighting the lack of a VESA wall mount and an integrated USB hub, as well as the presence of tilt adjustment only. However, this is quite acceptable for a budget monitor, so the model demonstrates the best price / quality ratio among representatives of the segment up to 22 inches.

This model boasts thin screen bezels, a universal resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and an AH-IPS matrix with a reduced pixel response (up to 4 ms). As a result, we get excellent image quality with high color accuracy, large viewing angles and a decent range of backlight brightness adjustment. There are also modern eye protection features, three types of ports for connecting a signal source, as well as an anti-reflective coating for working in high light conditions. As a result, the most optimal ratio of price and quality among monitors focused on everyday home use.

The only thing that can spoil the impression is the design of the stand, which is not durable and offers adjustment only in tilt and in a limited range. Also, there are no integrated USB ports and support for dynamic screen refresh technology.

A 29-inch ultra-thin bezel monitor designed for designers and editors working on multiple applications at the same time. The screen here is flat, created on the basis of an AH-IPS matrix with a resolution of 2560x1080 pixels, i.e. has a ratio of 21:9, which allows you to conveniently place multiple working windows through the "picture in picture" option. In addition, the model supports Mega DCR dynamic contrast, has a color depth of 6bit + FRC, a color gamut of 99% sRGB, works with HDR10 and AMD FreeSync. According to its characteristics, this is the best working monitor at a price of up to 20,000 rubles.

The reviews emphasize the build quality of the model, excellent color reproduction, efficiency (up to 28 W), frameless design and a large selection of settings in the menu. There is also a negative: LG 29WN600 is adjustable only in tilt, does not have a USB hub, has mediocre speakers and can be “naughty” when working in HDR mode.

An excellent entry-level semi-professional gaming monitor that will allow you to fully enjoy the high-quality graphics of modern games.It is based on an AH-IPS matrix with a resolution of 2560x1080, a refresh rate of 75 Hz and a phenomenal pixel response time of only 1 ms in Motion Blur Reduction mode. Of course, there's AMD FreeSync dynamic screen refresh technology, eye protection features, and a bezel-less design for multi-monitor setups. But much more interesting is the use of Mega Dynamic Contrast Technology, which allows you to achieve ultra-clear display of dark shades. A nice bonus is the built-in 10 W acoustics and the picture-in-picture option.

The most frequently mentioned drawback of this model is the inconvenient location of the headphone jack on the back wall. In addition, the disadvantages include the need to calibrate the factory color settings, an unstable stand, and not the best sound quality of the acoustics.

A well-balanced monitor with a good price / quality ratio and a high level of energy efficiency with a display diagonal of 31.5 inches. Built on the basis of an IPS-matrix with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, an operating refresh rate of 60 Hz and a response time of 4 ms. It has a large selection of video ports, a separate headphone jack and a simple built-in 4W acoustics. With a fairly high image quality, it consumes only 43 watts in operating mode, which is quite good for a 31.5-inch display with a price of just under 20,000 rubles.

However, partly the "energy" success is due to some savings on technology.In particular, this model did not receive dynamic screen refresh, offers not the best contrast ratio (1200:1) and lacks a USB hub. Another important drawback noted by users is small light in the lower corners during the display of dark scenes.

A new model from the Korean brand with an optimal curvature radius for avid gamers who want to fully immerse themselves in the gaming world. At 31.5 inches, this monitor offers a classic 1920x1080 resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate, 3000:1 contrast ratio and 4ms pixel response time. There is support for AMD FreeSync and Mega DCR dynamic contrast ratio, eye protection options, as well as a special game mode with flexible adjustment of parameters depending on the genre of the game. Together, all this provides the highest image quality with excellent detail and smoothness in dynamic scenes.

Of course, not without a fly in the ointment, which took the form of an extremely uncomfortable stand, which does not allow you to move the monitor closer to the wall, and also has only tilt adjustment. In addition, with such a diagonal of the screen, there is no support for the “picture in picture” option.

This monitor is often bought, so it can be considered the most proven in the segment of budget models with a diagonal of more than 30 inches. The Q3279VWFD8 features a 31.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and a contrast ratio of 1200:1.The monitor is enhanced with AMD FreeSync dynamic screen refresh, Flicker-Free for better eye protection, and a matrix capable of displaying more than 1 billion colors, which guarantees excellent color reproduction in both light and dark shades. Add to that a refresh rate of 75Hz and a pixel density of 93 ppi and you get a great balance of performance for both gaming and watching movies in high quality.

For complete happiness, this model lacks only HDR support, a curved display design and a frameless body. In addition, users include the lack of the ability to mount on the wall, only tilt adjustment and the instability of the stand as minor drawbacks.
