A high resolution

Basically, gamers cannot do without a high refresh rate. Especially if they have a powerful video card at their disposal. The smoother the picture in the game, the more enjoyable experience you can get from it. That is why modern gamers have practically stopped looking towards traditional monitors, the screens of which have a refresh rate of no higher than 75 Hz. Instead, they are trying to get a model with a frequency of 144 Hz. And if earlier this required a lot of money, now you can find such solutions even with 20-30 thousand rubles in your pocket.

The monitors included in this selection collect a lot of positive feedback on M.Video, DNS, KNS, Yandex.Market and other resources. In our rating, you see the average rating of each product. It includes itself and a surcharge personally from us for the following features:

Low response time - if this parameter does not exceed 3 ms, then even an e-sportsman should like the monitor.

A high resolution - bonus points are given if the manufacturer has gone beyond the usual Full HD.

Affordable price - a slightly higher estimate will be for devices whose cost does not exceed 20 thousand rubles (as of spring 2022).

A large number of connectors - ideally, the monitor should have at least one HDMI input and a DisplayPort jack.

FreeSync and/or G-Sync support - these technologies allow the display to successfully deal with frame breaks, which are so relevant when playing shooters.

High backlight brightness and HDR - will also earn extra points from us. However, we still do not recommend waiting for such miracles from budget monitors.

A high resolution

The screen of this monitor boasts not only a 144 Hz refresh rate, but also a high pixel density.

  • Average price: 29,200 rubles.
  • Country: Taiwan
  • Matrix: IPS, 2560x1440, 27 inches
  • Response time: 4ms
  • Connectors: 2xHDMI, DisplayPort, headphone output
  • Backlight: 350 cd/sq. m

A rare case when a monitor is offered for relatively little money, the screen resolution of which exceeds the traditional 1920x1080 pixels. This makes the load on the video card even stronger, but it will make it easier to use professional programs.That's why an Acer product often finds its way onto the desks of video and photo editors.

IPS technology was used to create the display used here. The manufacturer squeezed out of it, if not everything possible, then a lot. As a result, the monitor boasts 100% sRGB color gamut. And its 27-inch screen has maximum viewing angles. Everything is in order with the brightness of the backlight. And only the response time is not amazing - some esportsmen will prefer to buy some other monitor. It is curious that this model received built-in speakers. But their total power is only 4 watts, so many buyers do not even think about using them.

Pros and cons
  • Integrated power supply
  • Warranty period extended to three years
  • High screen resolution
  • The cost is not very low
  • Increased marriage rate

One of the largest monitors among those with an adequate price tag and a high refresh rate.

  • Average price: 28,500 rubles.
  • Country: Taiwan
  • Matrix: IPS, 1920x1080, 27 inches
  • Response time: 1ms
  • Connectors: 2xHDMI, DisplayPort, 2xUSB 3.0, headphone output
  • Backlight: 300 cd/sq. m

A very large monitor that boasts not only a 144 Hz refresh rate, but also several other features. For example, this device can be used as a USB hub - there are two corresponding connectors on its rear panel. Also, this model is able to independently play content from a USB flash drive or external hard drive - you do not need to turn on the computer for this.Everything is in order with her and with color reproduction - the display has a DCI-P3 color gamut coverage of 95%.

When creating the matrix used here, IPS technology was used. This allows you to count on maximum viewing angles. During the game, FreeSync Premium technology can be activated, thanks to which frame tearing is eliminated. And the buyer can use the built-in stereo speakers. However, their power leaves much to be desired, so it is better to forget about them immediately.

Pros and cons
  • Excellent color reproduction
  • A large number of connectors
  • Ideal viewing angles
  • An external power supply is used
  • The price won't suit everyone

Economical curved display

According to experts, a certain radius of curvature of the screen allows you to get a more positive experience from the game.

  • Average price: 16,500 rubles.
  • Country: USA
  • Matrix: VA, 1920x1080, 23.6 inches
  • Response time: 4ms
  • Connectors: HDMI, DisplayPort
  • Backlight: 300 cd/sq. m

Some buyers take this monitor for its curved display. However, you need to understand that with such a modest diagonal, the benefits of bending are not so much. However, the rest of the specifications of the device did not let us down, so there is still a point in buying. For example, VA-technology, which was used to manufacture the matrix, allows us to hope for a decent black depth. Many owners appreciated the brightness of the backlight, although it still cannot be called a record.

To connect a computer, either HDMI is used here, or DisplayPort, which is more suitable for this purpose. The frequency of 144 Hz is well felt in any game.Only the response time of 4 ms can confuse someone, but in fact only professional cybersportsmen complain about this parameter. It is also impossible not to note the internal power supply - a regular plug follows the outlet. The advantages include the presence of holes for wall mounting.

Pros and cons
  • Color calibration available
  • Good contrast
  • Height adjustable
  • Response time is not instant
  • Viewing angles are not ideal

Best value for money

People like that for relatively little money they get a monitor with decent specifications.

  • Average price: 23,900 rubles.
  • Country: USA
  • Matrix: IPS, 1920x1080, 27 inches
  • Response time: 1ms
  • Connectors: 2xHDMI, DisplayPort, headphone output
  • Backlight: 250 cd/sq. m

An excellent inexpensive monitor, the capabilities of which are more than enough for the vast majority of our readers. Especially if there is a willingness to put up with Full HD resolution. This model has not only a refresh rate of 144 Hz, but also a minimum response time. This allows you to see the actions in the game immediately after the perfect manipulation of the mouse or keyboard.

The electronic part of the monitor is ready to deal with frame breaks. But only with FreeSync technology. Another advantage of this model is the backlight without flicker. However, it is now implemented in most monitors in this price segment. But if competitors save on the number of connectors, then there is no such problem here - a pair of HDMI inputs and a single DisplayPort are found on the rear panel.You can complain about the device only because of the not very bright backlight, because of which the manufacturer did not even think about introducing support for HDR technology. Not everyone will be satisfied with an external power supply, for which you need to look for a place near the surge protector.

Pros and cons
  • A large number of connectors
  • Instant response
  • Color calibration available
  • An external power supply is used
  • Not very high backlight brightness

Best price

The very low price is due to the modest capabilities of the matrix and a small diagonal.

  • Average price: 13,500 rubles.
  • Country: Taiwan
  • Matrix: TN, 1920x1080, 21.5 inches
  • Response time: 1ms
  • Connectors: HDMI, DisplayPort, headphone output
  • Backlight: 250 cd/sq. m

The most inexpensive monitor among those whose refresh rate is brought to 144 Hz. In this regard, you will find a lot of shortcomings. Firstly, the device turned out to be quite small - its screen diagonal is only 21.5 inches. Secondly, the frame of the display makes you remember the past decade. Thirdly, a TN-matrix is ​​used here, because of which you will definitely suffer from modest viewing angles.

If you agree to put up with the above disadvantages, then the purchase will not disappoint you. The display used here has not only a huge refresh rate, but also an instant response. You will most likely not complain about the permission either. Computer connection methods should also please - there is not only banal HDMI, but also DisplayPort. And the flicker-free backlight allows you to spend as much time as you want on the monitor - your eyes will not get tired. FreeSync technology is also implemented here, which also causes only positive emotions.

Pros and cons
  • Very low price
  • Minimum response time
  • Color calibration possible
  • TN matrix applied
  • Complete with external power supply
  • Modest screen size

Stylish design

The monitor has a spectacular stand and a curved display.

  • Average price: 22,600 rubles.
  • Country: USA
  • Matrix: VA, 1920x1080, 24 inches
  • Response time: 1ms
  • Connectors: 2xHDMI, DisplayPort, headphone output
  • Backlight: 250 cd/sq. m

This monitor has a curved screen. However, the concavity radius here does not exceed 1500R, so this fact is not striking. What can not be said about the manufacturing technology of the display. She allowed the manufacturer to achieve a deep black color. The flip side of the coin is not the best viewing angles. Also, the use of special technologies helped MSI to achieve an instant response. 144 Hz should also please the buyer, especially if he has a top-end video card.

Other gaming features include FreeSync adaptive sync. To connect to a computer, one of the two HDMI inputs or DisplayPort is used. You can also connect headphones to the monitor. As for the power supply required to generate electricity, it is external - this is one of the few drawbacks of the device.

Pros and cons
  • Good contrast
  • Minimum response time
  • Has holes for a wall bracket
  • Not the brightest backlight
  • Would like perfect viewing angles

LG tries to use high-quality components even in inexpensive devices.

People love the value for money.

  • Average price: 35,000 rubles.
  • Country: South Korea
  • Matrix: IPS, 1920x1080, 27 inches
  • Response time: 5ms
  • Connectors: 2xHDMI, DisplayPort, headphone output
  • Backlight: 400 cd/sq. m

This monitor can be called budget only conditionally. Most of the time it is sold for 38-40 thousand rubles. However, sometimes there are sales that allow you to purchase this model for significantly less money. In this case, you will definitely not be disappointed. The stand will start to please: it allows you to adjust the height of the screen, as well as switch it to portrait mode at any time. As for the display itself, it offers both a very high refresh rate and a good margin of brightness. Perhaps only the standard response time can upset someone.

As befits such a monitor, the LG product supports FreeSync technology. But much more pleasing is the fact that the device is ready to display HDR content. In this regard, this model surpasses the vast majority of its competitors! Nothing bad can be said about the viewing angles. The device is supplied with electricity by an external power supply, and three connectors are provided for connecting a computer. By the way, the DisplayPort cable is already found in the kit.

Pros and cons
  • There are proprietary image enhancement technologies
  • HDR supported
  • Comes with headphone holder
  • You have to use an external power supply
  • Not very low cost

Very thin screen bezels

During the game, it seems that the display here has no frames at all.

  • Average price: 19,500 rubles.
  • Country: Taiwan
  • Matrix: VA, 1920x1080, 23.8 inches
  • Response time: 1ms
  • Connectors: HDMI, DisplayPort, headphone output
  • Backlight: 350 cd/sq. m

A good choice for an esports player who hasn't bought a top-end graphics card yet. The screen of this monitor is capable of boasting a minimum response time, which is sure to please in online shooters. The same games should benefit from a refresh rate of 144Hz. It should be noted and support for FreeSync Premium technology. She has to deal with moments when one half of the frame moves out relative to the other.

This model is not ready to boast a high resolution display. She is not going to break the record and the number of connectors. But the monitor turned out to be very inexpensive. It also uses a flicker-free backlight. And the buyer can also count on deep blacks, since VA technology was used to create the screen. By the way, the sRGB color gamut here reaches 126%. The monitor also received built-in stereo speakers. But their four-watt total power does not allow this item to be included in the number of advantages.

Pros and cons
  • Impressive contrast
  • Very low response time
  • Built-in power supply used
  • Not ideal viewing angles
  • Mediocre stand
  • Not the best anti-reflective properties

Improved fight against frame breaks

The manufacturer of this monitor spent money licensing FreeSync Premium adaptive sync technology.

  • Average price: 17,500 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Matrix: VA, 1920x1080, 23.8 inches
  • Response time: 4ms
  • Connectors: HDMI, DisplayPort
  • Backlight: 350 cd/sq. m

A rare gamer will write something bad about this model. The fact is that he will get almost the maximum possible for his money. For example, the monitor is ready to boast a refresh rate of 144 Hz, which even a budget video card usually pulls out at Full HD resolution. Also, the buyer should like the depth of black - not an easy manufacturer made a choice in favor of VA-technology. The set of connectors should not be embarrassing either - two HDMI inputs will seem like overkill to someone.

The monitor includes not only the display, but also the speakers. Their total power is 6 watts. In an office environment, this is quite enough. Flicker-free backlighting also helps in the work - your eyes will definitely not get tired. You can complain about the manufacturer only because of the external power supply. Not everyone wants to think about placing it somewhere under the table.

Pros and cons
  • Decent contrast
  • Color calibration possible
  • Not the worst speakers built in
  • An external power supply is used
  • Response time leaves much to be desired
  • A modest number of connectors

portrait orientation

The stand of this model allows you to rotate the monitor 90 degrees, as well as adjust its height.

  • Average price: 19,800 rubles.
  • Country: Taiwan
  • Matrix: TN, 1920x1080, 24 inches
  • Response time: 1ms
  • Connectors: 3xHDMI, DisplayPort, headphone output
  • Backlight: 350 cd/sq. m

Usually this monitor is bought by people who work professionally with photography. It is they who will most appreciate the ability to rotate the device in portrait orientation. However, people of other professions should also like this model.Especially if you want to connect the monitor to several computers at once. For this, there are all the possibilities - the rear panel received not only DisplayPort, but also three HDMI inputs.

The built-in display of this monitor has a very high backlight brightness. It also has a minimal response time. It turns out that the creation of the Taiwanese company BenQ may appeal to gamers. Especially if they agree to put up with a fairly wide frame of the screen. And with narrow viewing angles, because the matrix was created using inexpensive TN technology. This is the reason for the low cost of the monitor itself.

Pros and cons
  • Instant response
  • Huge number of connectors
  • Portrait orientation available
  • Wide display bezel
  • TN matrix is ​​used
  • Missing adaptive sync
