As in general, technology advances in the niche of monitors. We have seen the advancement of the displays through decades. I can even recall the times when people were sitting in front of a big, old CRT monitor, which hasn’t even displayed the colors in their real form, since it used infra green or infra-red technology. It seems both pretty funny and nostalgic, however, what we have now? IPS, UHD displays, 4K resolution instead of the old 640 x 480 level. If you just compare a monitor now, and 10 years before, you will see serious advancement. Not just in colors, but in the technology too. The manufacturers used the cathode ray tube (CRT) technology, now they use the thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) and different forms of the latter.
The visuals of a high-end monitor are quite fantastic, especially if the display comes with the latest 3D technology. 3D has improved quite a lot during the years. In the “good old days” we used paper glasses to watch three dimension movies. One of the lens of the glasses was red and the other was blue, so combined we could have a feeling that the things we are seeing are in three dimension. However, it wasn’t that great. After the movie Avatar, don’t pretend you haven’t see it, I know you have had, 3D technology improved quite a lot. James Cameron, the director of the movie, has used the newly released three dimension technology (IMAX 3D) and used it in his movie, even improving it by a lot. The movie was a huge success, I can even recall that the cinemas were full after 1-2 months of the release of the movie. Why was that? Because Cameron has combined great graphics with the newly released (that time) IMAX three dimension tech. Of course, the movie was great too, but what most people has seen was the visuals, they were AMAZING.
Newest Tech
The newest technology in monitors is the IPS and UHD displays. UHD displays are quite beautiful, however, they cost quite a lot. On the other hand IPS displays are gorgeous looking too, maybe not as much as the UHD ones, however, they are quite affordable. Chinese companies, and, of course, a huge monolith, Apple is using the IPS technology on their devices. Apple has been famous for developing this technology, we don’t know if they have done that, but they encouraged companies to use it on their devices.
The Best Monitors Today
We have reached the topic, which our article is about. Let’s see which the best monitors are nowadays.
The Luxurious Option – The LG Ultra Wide 34UC97 is a great looking monitor with decent visuals, however, the price of the device is quite high. It comes at the cost of 1086 American Dollars, so unless if you are not a hardcore gamer, movie junkie or someone who wants to show off his or her economical status to his or her friends and families, then I won’t recommend you buying this device. The monitor comes with a 21:9, a not so usual, aspect ratio, ensuring that you will enjoy your games and movies while sitting in front of your desk.
Vision At A Moderate Price – The Acer S277HK provides astonishing visuals for gamers and movie lovers at a quite moderate price, compared to LG’s flagship display. The device is quite expensive for normal persons too, since it costs 699 (roughly 700) dollars. The monitor features a 27 inch big 4K IPS display.
Verdict
We have chosen these two monitors, as they seem to be the best in their area. Of course, there are quite some gaming displays and monitors that could be introduced here, but I think these two, the LG Ultra Wide 34UC97 and the Acer S277HK, represent our latest technology.
I will write you some instructions for buying your monitor here. Here are the things you should look first. Do you game a lot? Do you watch movies or series a lot? Do you want to spend much on this device? If your answers to all these questions are yes, then go to the store and buy a high-end one, if not then buy an affordable one.
