Price: 30,000 rubles.

The popularity of models for esports is growing, because electronic competitions themselves attract more and more attention every year.

NEC MultiSync EX241UN

Price: 35,000 rubles.

This manufacturer has not yet been in the collection, but the reason for this is not the lack of decent copies, but, on the contrary, the presence of too powerful and expensive models. However, everything immediately becomes clear, just look at the features of the model.

So: Full HD combined with Low Blue Light Plus and Flicker-Free technologies make the model extremely successful for financial workers and people whose lives are in constant contact with a computer. However, in addition to taking care of health, the Japanese managed to combine high performance, modern design and safety (the display is protected by special ultra-thin glass, which, among other things, can be easily removed if necessary). There is also a multitasking mode, easy to install and configure (thanks to a convenient joystick and the Control Sync system), an automatic system for saving consumption and energy is installed (reacts to lighting, user activity).

Features: WQHD (refresh rate 165 Hz) provides a very beautiful picture and the question of which monitor matrix is ​​better for viewing widescreen content simply disappears. The viewing angles, which are very good for TN, also leave a positive impression. However, the S2417DG's vocation is games. Everything from NVIDIA® G-Sync ™ support, astonishing clarity and flicker-free backlighting to a thin display bezel is geared towards them.
