What to Look for in a Cheap Computer Monitor
Buying a cheap computer monitor doesn’t mean settling for poor quality — you just need to know which specs matter most.
Resolution is the first thing to check. Full HD (1920×1080) is the minimum for comfortable daily use, whether you’re working on spreadsheets, browsing, or video calls. Most inexpensive computer monitors in this range now offer Full HD as standard.
Screen size comes down to your desk space and usage. A 22″ monitor is compact and ideal for tight setups, a 24″ hits the sweet spot for most home and office users, while a 27″ gives you more screen real estate for multitasking.
Panel type affects image quality. IPS panels deliver better colours and wider viewing angles, making them great for general use. VA panels offer stronger contrast, which works well in darker environments.
Connectivity is worth a quick check — make sure your monitor has at least one HDMI port to connect easily to any laptop or desktop.
Finally, if you use your screen for long hours, look for a refresh rate of 75Hz or above and built-in eye-care features like flicker-free technology or blue light filters.
22″ vs 24″ vs 27″ – Which Size Is Right for You?
Choosing the right monitor size depends on how you use it, how much desk space you have, and your budget.
- A 22″ monitor is the most affordable option and works well if you have a small desk or only need one screen for basic tasks like emails, documents, or web browsing. It’s also a solid choice as a secondary monitor in a dual-screen setup.
- A 24″ monitor is the most popular size for good reason. It offers enough screen space for comfortable multitasking without taking over your desk. It’s the sweet spot for most home office and office users, and you’ll find the best value-for-money options at this size.
- A 27″ monitor gives you significantly more room to work — ideal if you regularly have multiple windows open side by side, work with spreadsheets, or spend long hours in front of a screen. Prices have dropped considerably, making 27″ monitors increasingly accessible on a budget.
