Whether you want it for simple use at home or for gaming and professional use, we have gathered the best recommendations according to our users' reviews and their features.

The best monitors for simple use

For emails, social media, internet browsing, and basic file usage, you probably won't need a monitor with advanced features. Prefer one with *FHD resolution and a size of 21-24', for comfortable viewing. A common monitor for everyday use or watching movies doesn't need to exceed 60HZ, which means 60 refreshes per second.

Standouts:

The best for professional use 

If you work from home and spend many hours in front of a computer, choose a monitor with blue light filter and flicker free, which reduce eye strain, and choose a monitor with an IPS panel. In terms of ergonomics, make sure the monitor arm is height-adjustable, so the monitor is at eye level.

Skroutz tip: Ultrawide monitors are elongated monitors with a 21:9 aspect ratio and are suitable for tasks with many open windows, multitasking & video editing, and if they are over 27’’, they are ideal for you!

The Best for Gaming

Focus on 2 characteristics: refresh rate & response time.

Because the image of a game has higher demands, you need a monitor with a refresh rate of at least 75 Hz for casual gaming. If you play First Person Shooter action games, the requirements increase, as you need to accurately see the movements of your opponents, so choose a monitor with >144hz. Similarly, for casual gaming with a 3ms response time you're fine, while for more competitive games, prefer 1ms. This way, you ensure a clear image even in intense action, without any lag

The Best for Video Editing

In this case, a large screen is necessary, as you will often have many windows open at the same time. Pay attention to color deviation when editing an image, because if your screen is not suitable, you might easily correct the colors of an image when it might not actually be needed. To ensure accurate screen performance, frequently adjust its brightness, contrast, and color.

Finally, make sure to choose a screen with a resolution of at least 2K.
