Which Monitor should you buy for your Gaming PC? Does it suit your PC configuration?
What is the point of buying all that fancy PC hardware if the monitor is not good? The result of all the graphics card and processor’s muscle is “What we see on the Monitor Screen.”
Moreover, without an excellent monitor everything else is useless.
A lot of Gamers I have interacted with, in the last couple of years, try to set a lower budget for the monitor. Without realizing how much difference it makes to your gaming experience when you have a great monitor.
Graphics details and overall experience is way better on a Full HD display in comparison to HD.
Also, the 4K or Quad-HD display is great, but it is taxing on the hardware. In-fact to run games on a 4K display, you will need the top of a line graphics card like Nvidia RTX 3080 or AMD Rx 6800.
I have listed 7 monitors that are best for Full HD Gaming at 1920*1080 pixels resolution. Also, some of these monitors come with a higher refresh rate that offers a better experience and can make a difference in fast-paced games like CS: Go or Valorant.
1) LG 24 inch Gaming Monitor (24MP59G) Priced @ ₹ 9,299 :
First, on the list is the 24 inch LG monitor. It is one of the highest-selling monitors and is an incredible value for money deal. Let’s go through the detailed specs and features for the LG 24 inch Gaming Monitor.

Let’s also understand the crucial terms like the response time, viewing angle, and the Pixel Pitch.
What is a Response Time for Monitor and how does it Impact the Gaming Performance of the Monitor?
Simply put – Response time is the amount of time a pixel in a display takes to change. It is measured in milliseconds(ms). Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore fewer visible image artifacts. Older monitors with long response times would create display motion blur around moving objects, making them unacceptable for rapidly moving images. The 16ms is a high response time, but in this budget this is acceptable.
Understanding the viewing Angle
The viewing Angle for the monitor is 90 degrees that is good for watching the monitor even if you are not directly placed in front of it. In fact, it is better to have a higher viewing angle to enable better visibility of the screen.
In display technology parlance, viewing angle is the maximum angle at which a display can be viewed with acceptable visual performance.
What is a Pixel Pitch?
The pixel pitch is the distance from the center of an LED cluster (or pixel) to the center of the next LED cluster/pixel measured in millimeters. It is acceptable for this AOC monitor.
It has low power consumption 7 W (Operational), 0.5 W (Standby), great to reduce your electricity bill.
