The design will allow you to use it for various purposes, both for working with texts and spreadsheets, and for graphics.

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

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). As for the image, the color rendition angles really correspond to the premium class.

A good model from a good brand. Dell managed to create a really high-quality product, but it was not without errors in the pricing policy too.
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. Also gamers will appreciate the presence of inputs for direct connection to consoles.
Characteristics: TN matrix (response time 1 ms), interfaces: HDMI, DisplayPort; brightness 350 cd / m², aspect ratio 16: 9, resolution 2560 x 1440, matte finish, WLED backlight (LEDs), power - 33 W.
Conclusion: a great option for esports, because everything is done in it for a comfortable game and no minor problems (except for the price) can change this.
Price: 47,000 rubles.
BenQ brand distinguished itself in two nominations for the 2024 review, and as the most expensive devices in the group. Well, for the most part, their products really deserve attention, but the prices are still pretty high.

Photo and video processing, graphic design - that's what BenQ SW24 was created for (there are built-in tools, and the monitor displays the maximum shades). And professional calibration (Palette Master Element function) will preserve and reproduce the true color of images.
