Choosing a monitor, like any electronic product, depends on factors other than price. This is because the current market has very varied models and each one includes different features, made to meet the needs of those who work with visual arts, enjoy games or just want to have a screen for casual use and entertainment. Knowing all these details may seem complicated, but it is certainly a relief when buying to avoid possible regrets.

The first thing to keep in mind when buying a new monitor is your primary purpose as a user. Assuming that the person uses the screen to do architecture projects or digital arts, the resolution is a crucial point. There are different levels of resolution and the most popular ones are Full HD, QHD and UHD. That’s why it’s important to understand each one of them and the difference that this characteristic causes in the quality of the content displayed.

Full HD images (1080×1920), for example, are not enough to see color and shadow details in drawings. For better definition, QHD (2560×1440) can better meet this need, as it has almost twice as many pixels as the popular Full HD. For those looking for the most advanced image quality on monitors, UHD (3840×2160), popularly known as 4K, is the best choice as it offers four times more resolution than Full HD, with regarding 8 million pixels. Also look for complementary functions such as HDR, this technology is capable of improving the black tones and brightness of the screen, making your work even more realistic.

Comfort is also important, as the person will probably spend several hours in front of the equipment creating projects. Look for models with ergonomic stands and on-screen solutions that are easy on the eyes. It’s important that you can adjust height and inclination for perfect ergonomics, in addition to extra functions such as the reduction of blue lights, automatic brightness and color temperature settings. Believe me, following hours of work these technologies will make all the difference, preventing you from aggravating possible eyestrain, for example.

Gamers also need to be very careful when buying a monitor, considering that investing in a powerful case is not enough to take advantage of all the performance of the latest games. What the player needs is dynamism and one of the main functions that can help in this regard is the refresh rate. Measured by Hz, these rates represent the number of times the monitor is able to update the displayed frame, preventing the movement within the game from looking like an old movie shot by a manual projector, that is, much more fluid. The higher the refresh rate, the better the performance of the displayed game.

You know those blurs that appear especially in games with a lot of speed? This phenomenon is called ghosting and it is necessary to observe another characteristic of the monitor to avoid it: the response time. During the transmission of an image, the color sequence is constantly changing. The speed it takes for a pixel to turn on and off completely as it reproduces motion on the screen is known as the response time. When the previous pixel takes a long time to erase, it ends up creating the effect that hinders performance. If the intention is to play high-performance games, look for displays that have this specification with the shortest possible time. The current market already offers models with an impressive 0.1 millisecond response.

And for those who want to do a little bit of everything and still watch series and movies, there are Smart models with an integrated operating system and the most popular streaming applications. Some can even be used for office work, without the need for a complete PC, as it includes programs such as office 360. For those who want to have a connected home, Smart models can integrate with the smart ecosystem to control other devices in the home, receive voice commands and much more. These screens make everyday life easier for consumers in a variety of ways, complementing your Internet of Things (IoT) hub.
