Monitors 25" to 27"
The ideal type of 25-27" monitor depends on what you will need it for
Monitors for office or home use
If you know you will spend a lot of time using the monitor, choose a model with adjustable height and technologies that minimise eye fatigue (Flicker-free, Flicker-safe, etc.). Otherwise, a basic office monitor will be sufficient for your needs.
Gaming monitors
For gaming monitors, response times and refresh rates are critical criteria. Gaming enthusiasts often choose monitors with 4 ms response times and refresh rates of at least 60 Hz, which provide smooth and sharp images even during fast action scenes.
Professional graphics monitors
To work with photos, videos, and CAD software, monitors with at least 10-bit colour depth are recommended. The graphic display should have a wide colour gamut and wide viewing angles.
Commercial monitors
For advertising kiosks, self-service checkouts or monitor systems, touch screen monitors are suitable as they allow the computer to be controlled without the use of a keyboard and mouse.
What else should I look for when choosing a 25-27" monitor?
Resolution
| Screen Size (1" = 2.54 cm) | 25-27" (about 63-69 cm) |
| Resolution to ensure adequate image quality | Full HD (1920 × 1080 pixels) or higher |
Panel type
- IPS / S-IPS monitors - excel in natural colours, low power consumption and wide viewing angles. The disadvantage is a higher purchase price.
- TN monitors - often characterised by a low response times. Compared with IPS monitors they are cheaper, offer lower-quality colour reproduction and narrower viewing angles. While cheaper TN monitors are sufficient for less demanding users, models with 4 ms response times are popular with gamers.
- MVA / PVA monitors - in terms of price and picture quality, these are somewhere between IPS / S-IPS and TN monitors. They provide more realistic colour reproduction and wider viewing angles than TN monitors and are cheaper than IPS monitors.
Screen surface
- Matte - reflects light from the surroundings; provides less-saturated colour reproduction.
- Glossy - provides vibrant and realistic colours; conversely, more light is reflected light from the surroundings, so the display can be difficult to view in bright sunlight.
- Anti-glare (glossy display with antiglare) - a compromise between glossy and matte screens; they are easier to view in direct sunlight than glossy screens but also offer lower quality colour reproduction.
Connectors
Before buying, make sure the monitor has at least one same port as your computer. If not, you will not be able to connect the monitor to it.
Useful functions and features
- Technology that minimises eyestrain - Flicker-free, Flicker-safe, etc.
- Adjustable height - allows you to adjust the monitor to a comfortable position.
- TV tuner - to watch television broadcasts.
- VESA mount - allows your to mount the monitor on a bracket.
- Web camera - useful if you plan to make calls over the Internet.
- USB Hub - play data from portable drives; connect a keyboard or mouse.
- Pivot - allows the screen to rotate horizantally; suitable for office work and reading texts from your computer.
Monitors 25" to 27" - additional info
The dominance of vacuum-based CRT monitors has long gone. This older and potentially eye damaging technology has since been replaced by LCD displays that provide a more eye-friendly user experience. Our wide range of LCD monitors consists of models to suit every user; from home to business, you're bound to find a model that meets your requirements.
For the majority of users, diagonal size is the most important parameter when selecting a monitor. Diagonal size is measured in inches (where 1" equals 2.54cm), and we offer models in sizes from 10" up to 30". The most commonly used sizes are 17", 19" and 22".
How to choose the right LCD Monitor
Do you need a widescreen monitor or one with a classic 4:3 aspect ratio? Widescreen monitors are ideal for watching movies, playing games, and browsing the internet, while classic 4:3 monitors with diagonals of 17"-19" are ideal for office work. As for the display surface, you can choose from matte or glossy. Glossy displays deliver enhanced colour contrasts and better readability while matte displays reduce screen reflection.
It's not only the number of pixels on the screen (display resolution) that determines the quality of a monitor, the size of a monitor's dot pitch is also important. Comparing monitors of two different sizes but of the same resolution, you'll find that the larger one produces a coarser image. This can be slightly reduced by font-smoothing functions, which are integrated in most operating systems. To get the most out of your monitor, you'll need to adjust the screen resolution, as the native resolution might differ from model to model.
Response time indicates how many milliseconds it takes for a pixel to change - the lower the response time, the smoother the change. Brightness determines the luminous intensity of an image and higher contrast ensures blacker blacks and whiter whites.
In addition to basic D-Sub analog inputs, modern monitors also feature digital DVI inputs. Some monitors offer multiple options together with HDMI inputs. Before you select a particular model, be sure to check whether it is compatible with your graphics card.
We recommend choosing a monitor with a larger diagonal size and higher resolution. Opt for a model with a lower response time, higher brightness and contrast, and check that the monitor features DVI/HDMI inputs.
