Based on your monitor's characteristics, Windows automatically applies optimal display settings, in particular, screen resolution, refresh rate and colors. These settings also depend on the type of monitor. To configure display settings or restore default settings, follow the recommendations below.

LCD monitors, also called flat-panel monitors, have significantly replaced CRT monitors. They are significantly lighter and thinner than bulky CRT monitors with glass tubes. LCD monitors also come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, including widescreen and standard-width screens, with aspect ratios of 16:9 and 16:10 for widescreen models and 4:3 for standard-width models. Laptops also use flat panel displays.

In the case of both types of monitors, the more dots per inch set on the screen, the better the fonts are displayed. By increasing the number of dots per inch, you increase the screen resolution. The resolution you use depends on the resolution supported by your monitor. The higher the resolution, such as 1900x1200 pixels, the clearer the elements will appear. They will also be smaller, allowing for additional elements to be placed on the screen. The lower the resolution, such as 800x600 pixels, the fewer elements can fit on the screen (the size of the elements increases).

Windows allows you to increase or decrease the size of text and other elements on your screen while maintaining your monitor's optimal resolution.

Best Display Options for LCD Monitors

If you are using an LCD monitor, check its resolution. This will determine the clarity of the image on the screen. For LCD monitors, it is recommended to set your own resolution: the one that the manufacturer has provided for the monitor according to its size.

To check your monitor resolution, check the display settings in Control Panel:

1. Click the drop-down next to Resolution. Find the resolution with the (recommended) icon. This is the native resolution of the LCD monitor. This is usually the highest resolution it supports.

For information about the native resolution of your LCD monitor, contact your LCD monitor manufacturer or supplier.

LCD monitors that are set to their native resolution generally display text better than CRT monitors. Technically, LCD monitors can support resolutions lower than native ones. However, text may not appear clearly, the image may be small, placed in the middle of the screen, surrounded by a black border, and the image may appear stretched.

Because standalone monitors are typically larger than laptop screens, they have higher resolutions than laptops.

LCD monitor resolution according to its size

Adjusting the Color Rendering for the LCD Monitor

To obtain better color rendition of the LCD monitor, make sure the display mode is set to 32-bit color. This measurement refers to color depth: the number of color values ​​that can be assigned to a single pixel in an image. The color depth value can range from 1 (black and white image) to 32 bits (more than 16.7 million colors).

1. Open the Screen Resolution window.
2. Click Extra options and go to the tab Monitor.
3. In chapter Colors select True Color (32 bit) and click OK.

Color management

Windows also includes additional color controls. Color management systems provide the most accurate color reproduction on any device, in particular on monitors and printers.

Display calibration

Display calibration software allows you to get accurate colors on your screen. If your computer has display calibration software from another vendor, use that software to calibrate your display.

Display calibration devices often come with the necessary software. By using the calibration device with the software it came with, you can achieve better color results.

Windows also has a display calibration feature.

Adjusting brightness and contrast

On external displays, brightness and contrast are adjusted using the monitor's controls rather than through Windows. Most CRT and LCD monitors have buttons or other controls on the front panel that allow you to control brightness and contrast.

On some monitors, a menu opens on the screen and allows you to make the appropriate settings. To learn how to use these controls, consult your monitor's manual or the manufacturer's website.

The brightness of most laptop screens can be adjusted using Windows. If you are using a laptop, you can adjust the brightness in the Power Options window.

Improved text display

Windows uses ClearType technology, which is enabled by default. With this technology, fonts are displayed on the monitor as clearly and smoothly as possible. This makes it easier to read text for a long time without tiring your eyes. The greatest efficiency can be achieved when working with LCD displays, flat panel monitors, laptops and portable devices.

Make sure ClearType is not disabled, especially when text on the screen appears fuzzy. ClearType technology can be configured to work with a specific monitor.

Good day! Many users understand permission as anything, so before starting to talk about it, I want to write a few words of introduction...

Screen resolution- roughly speaking, this is the number of image pixels per certain area. The more dots, the clearer and better quality the image. So, each monitor has its own optimal resolution, in most cases, which needs to be set for a high-quality picture on the screen.

In this article I will consider the issue of changing resolution, and typical problems and their solutions to this action. So …

What resolution should I set?

This is perhaps one of the most popular questions when changing resolution. I’ll give you one piece of advice: when setting this parameter, I primarily focus on ease of use.

As a rule, this convenience is achieved by setting the optimal resolution for a specific monitor (each has its own). Usually, the optimal resolution is indicated in the documentation for the monitor (I won’t dwell on this :)).

How to find out the optimal resolution?

2. Next, right-click anywhere on the desktop and select screen settings (screen resolution) in the context menu. Actually, in the screen settings, you will see the option to select a resolution, one of which will be marked as recommended (screenshot below).

You can also use various instructions for selecting the optimal resolution (and tables from them). Here, for example, is a clipping from one such instruction:

• - for 15-inch: 1024x768;
• - for 17-inch: 1280×768;
• - for 21-inch: 1600x1200;
• - for 24-inch: 1920x1200;
• 15.6-inch laptops: 1366x768.

Important! By the way, for older CRT monitors, it is important to choose not only the correct resolution, but also sweep frequency(roughly speaking, how many times the monitor blinks per second). This parameter is measured in Hz; most often monitors support modes of: 60, 75, 85, 100 Hz. To prevent your eyes from getting tired, set it to at least 85 Hz!

Changing the resolution

1) In video drivers (for example Nvidia, Ati Radeon, IntelHD)

One of the easiest ways to change the screen resolution (and in general, adjust brightness, contrast, picture quality and other parameters) is to use the video driver settings. In principle, they are all configured in the same way (I will show a few examples below).

Intel HD

Extremely popular video cards, especially recently. In almost half of budget laptops you can find a similar card.

After installing the drivers for it, simply click on the tray icon (next to the clock) to open the IntelHD settings (see screenshot below).

Actually, in this section you can set the required resolution (see screenshot below).

AMD (Ati Radeon)

You can also use the tray icon (but not every driver version has it), or simply right-click anywhere on the desktop. Next, in the pop-up context menu, open the line “Catalyst Control Center" (note: see photo below. By the way, the name of the setup center may vary slightly, depending on the software version).

Nvidia

1. First, right-click anywhere on the desktop.

2. In the pop-up context menu, select “ Nvidia Control Panel"(screenshot below).

2) On Windows 8, 10

It happens that there is no video driver icon. This can happen for several reasons:

• reinstalled Windows, and you have a universal driver installed (which comes with the OS). Those. there is no driver from the manufacturer...;
• There are some versions of video drivers that do not automatically put the icon in the tray. In this case, you can find a link to the driver settings in the Windows Control Panel.

Well, to change the resolution, you can also use control panel. In the search bar, type “Screen” (without quotes) and select the coveted link (screen below).

3) On Windows 7

Right-click on the desktop and select " Screen resolution"(this item can also be found in the control panel).

Next you will see a menu that will display all the possible modes available for your monitor. By the way, the native resolution will be marked as recommended (as I already wrote, in most cases it provides the best picture).

For example, for a 19-inch screen the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels, for a 20-inch: 1600 x 1200 pixels, for a 22-inch: 1680 x 1050 pixels.

Older CRT-based monitors allow you to set the resolution much higher than recommended for them. True, a very important quantity in them is frequency, measured in hertz. If it is below 85 Hz, your eyes begin to ripple, especially in light colors.

After changing the resolution, click "OK". You are given 10-15 seconds. time to confirm settings changes. If you do not confirm within this time, it will be restored to its previous value. This is done so that if your picture becomes distorted so that you cannot recognize anything, the computer will return to its working configuration.

4) On Windows XP

Almost no different from the settings in Windows 7. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and select “properties”.

Here you can select the screen resolution and color quality (16/32 bits).

By the way, the quality of color reproduction is typical for old CRT-based monitors. In modern ones the default is 16 bits. In general, this parameter is responsible for the number of colors displayed on the monitor screen. Only a person is practically unable to distinguish the difference between 32-bit color and 16-bit (perhaps experienced editors or gamers who work a lot and often with graphics). Whether it’s the butterfly’s business...

PS

For additions on the topic of the article, thank you in advance. I have everything for this, the topic is completely covered (I think :)). Good luck!

Screen resolution is the number of horizontal and vertical pixels in accordance with the screen size. This is the size of the image on the screen in pixels:

• 800 x 600
• 1024 x 768
• 1280 x 1024

The pixel is shaped like a square because the resolution in different directions is the same size.

After reinstalling the operating system, problems with screen resolution often occur. Moreover, this does not always apply to installing drivers, although this point also cannot be ignored. It is worth considering the fact that each user has certain components on his computer, for each of which you need to install your own drivers. This also includes the video card. Screen resolution depends on the video card used, as well as the connected monitor.

Some monitors have a diagonal of 21.5, while others have more than 30. Therefore, each device has its own resolution. To adjust the screen resolution on your computer, you must first connect your monitor to your computer. Today, most new products have switched to an HDMI cable, but most monitors are still connected via VGA. As soon as you connect, install the drivers on your computer or use automatic installation programs. Typically, an installation disc is included with the monitor.

Otherwise, you can go to the official website and download from there. So what's now? You need to make some settings in the system. To do this, on the desktop, right-click on any free area. Next, select “Properties”. “I can’t change the screen resolution of Windows 7” - this is a question asked by those who work with the Windows 7 operating system. This item in Windows 7 will be called “Personalization”. Now go to the “Options” tab. Here are all the settings that are related to color quality.

In this window you will see the monitor model that is connected to your computer. If the driver is missing, then the system will not be able to determine the type and model of the monitor. Find the “Screen Resolution” item there. Below it you will see a small slider that allows you to adjust the clarity and blurriness of all images on the desktop, and indeed the entire computer. Move it all the way to the “More” side. The system will automatically show you the screen resolution, for example, 1920*1080 pixels. Next, click the “Apply” button so that all changes are saved in the system. If you have several monitors connected to your computer, you will need to set the resolution for each one separately.

The easiest way to see the screen resolution on your desktop is to right-click with your mouse and go to Screen options.

The modern market for computer peripherals and components is ready to offer consumers a great variety of monitor models. All of them may differ in the type of matrix, type of backlight or aspect ratio. Also, different monitors may have different screen resolutions. Modern models can easily support even 4K resolution. But will it suit your monitor? This is a big question. As a rule, manufacturers indicate only the maximum value that the device’s display is capable of. They tactfully omit the optimal figure. So what screen resolution is best for a monitor? This will be discussed in the material.

What determines the choice of resolution?

It depends on many factors. When choosing the optimal resolution, it is worth taking into account the screen diagonal, aspect ratio, matrix type and the “Hertz” of the monitor. Although the last parameter was applicable to CRT displays. Modern LCD panels do not require fine tuning of "hertz". However, other characteristics affect the screen resolution for the monitor. Which one is better? We will understand this with the help of He alone is effective in this case. Also, do not forget that screen resolution directly depends on the capabilities of the operating system. For example, Windows OS does a very poor job of scaling text and icons to 4K resolution. While in Linux-like operating systems (Ubuntu, Mint) there are no such problems.

Selection based on matrix type

What screen resolution is best for a TN+Film monitor? Let's consider this option, since this type of matrix is ​​dominant in budget models. For such a monitor, the optimal resolution will be Full HD (1920 by 1080 pixels). Even if it is designed for 2K. The fact is that in such matrices the distance between the pixels is quite decent. Therefore, you should not get carried away when setting the resolution. But with IPS panels it’s a completely different matter. Here you can display at least all 4K. But again, we should not forget about the scaling capabilities of the operating system. In general, let’s look at the screen resolution parameters for monitors with different diagonals. Let's start with the smallest - 17 inches.

Monitors 17"

So, what screen resolution is best for a 17 inch monitor? First you need to study the documentation for the device and determine the maximum resolution that the screen is capable of. For seventeen-inch devices, the standard resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels. This is according to the manufacturers. But have you seen how bad everything looks at this resolution? Here. But the producers apparently didn’t see it. If the screen is widescreen, then you can safely set the resolution to Full HD. If it is supported. It's easy to check. Right-click on the desktop and select “Screen Resolution” from the menu that appears. The parameter selection window will appear. Here it is necessary to calculate the extreme limits of resolution. To do this, you need to move the slider all the way. If the monitor supports Full HD, then feel free to set this value. You will see how much the picture will change.

Monitors 17" CRT

If you are still using an old CRT "semnashka" (you never know, then you first need to set the flickering frequency (the notorious "hertz"). This can be done using the same algorithm as setting the maximum resolution. Only in the window you should Click "Advanced", go to the "Monitor" tab and select the required number of hertz in the "Screen refresh rate" list. Optimally - 75-85.

Now you can start choosing a resolution. For a CRT, the optimal screen resolution is 1280 by 1024 pixels. It is at this resolution that there will be no problems with displaying icons and text. You can, of course, set more, but then you won’t be able to see anything. This is not an LCD panel. The text will be blurry.

So, we have already figured out which screen resolution is best for a 17-inch monitor. Let's continue. And next in line - 19 inches.

Monitors 19" CRT

No matter how crazy it may sound, among 19-inch monitors there are also CRT models with an aspect ratio of 4 to 3. Let’s start with them. So, what screen resolution is best for a 19 inch monitor? In the case of a CRT, again you need to start tuning with the screen refresh rate. And then just go to setting the resolution. No matter what computer gurus write in their public pages, the standard resolution for a “nineteen” CRT is 1600 by 1200 pixels. Let it stay that way. If you set it higher, using the monitor will be uncomfortable. And if lower, then the components (icons and fonts) will be very large. Be that as it may, 19-inch CRTs with an aspect ratio of 4 to 3 are extremely rare. But there are also LCD panels with the same 4 to 3 diagonal. Oddly enough, the standard screen resolution for them is exactly the same.

Monitors 19"

What about 16 to 9? What screen resolution is best for a 19 inch monitor? A widescreen monitor has a slightly different structure. Therefore, the resolution will be different. However, most manufacturers advise using Full HD resolution (1920 by 1080 pixels) on 19-inch “widescreens”. It is this that is most comfortable for work. Moreover, if the user sits at the computer for days, then with this resolution the strain on the eyes will be minimal. And this is important, since the wrong resolution can seriously damage the user’s eyes. Now let's move on to larger toys. Next up are the giants with a 22-inch screen diagonal.

Monitors 22"

Well, with such a diagonal, thank Gates, only LCD panels are available. That's what we'll talk about. What screen resolution is best for a 22 inch monitor? It's not that simple here. Devices with this diagonal have both IPS and TN matrices. But this is not the main thing. And the main thing is that there are models with both declared Full HD resolution and 2K. And if your monitor supports 2K resolution, then it is not a fact that it will be comfortable for work. Here you will have to select the resolution “by eye”. Play with the settings, move the sliders. Try on different options. There are cases when a Full HD image looked better on such a monitor than the “native” 2K one. However, you shouldn’t get too carried away. There is no need to lower the screen resolution “below the plinth”. This won't make the image any better.

You can also read the accompanying documentation for the device. Maybe there will be recommendations on what resolution is best for the monitor. But it is not a fact that they will coincide with your preferences. In general, screen resolution is a rather abstract value. Each user customizes the computer for himself, including the monitor. One thing is certain: this component must be configured in such a way that the user can work with it as comfortably as possible. Because it is through the monitor that tons of information is transmitted. And if you sit for a long time at an incorrectly configured display, you can go blind. Do you need it?

Okay, now let's move on to the really big toys. Next up are 23-inch monitors.

Monitors 23"

These devices are still positioned as screens for home use. However, placing them on the desktop is already a little problematic. But some manage. What screen resolution is best for a 23 inch monitor? But it’s better to look at the accompanying documentation of the device, because these displays can support both Full HD, 2K, and 4K. The optimal resolution for a screen of this size would be 2K resolution. If your device is designed for it, then feel free to install it. But with 4K it’s better to slow down for now. This resolution is still a fairly new feature. Therefore, not all operating systems and programs are adapted to it. But work is underway. Do not forget that in order to set this resolution, you need a special driver from the monitor manufacturer. It can be downloaded from the official website or installed from the disk that comes with the device.

Keep in mind that monitors with a diagonal of 23 inches and above have an increased risk for the eyes if the resolution is incorrectly set. It's up to you to decide which screen resolution is best for your monitor. But it would be a good idea to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. The specifications indicate exactly those resolutions that were tested under various operating modes. It was with these numbers that the monitor showed the best results. Therefore, you should not neglect the advice of the manufacturing company’s engineers. Sometimes they contain very useful information. In the meantime, we are moving to an even larger diagonal - 24 inches.

Monitors 24"

These devices are not very different from the previous ones. And therefore their working resolution is similar. So, what screen resolution is best for a 24 inch monitor? Answer: exactly what it is designed for. Everything here is exactly the same as in the previous model. But due to the non-standard aspect ratio, you will have to adjust the resolution manually, “by eye”. In 24-inch monitors, the aspect ratio is 16 to 10. That is why you will have to select a resolution that is comfortable for the eyes. By the way, 24-inch monitors are not as frequent guests on users’ desks as their 23-inch counterparts. Apparently, users are quite conservative and do not want to suffer with a non-standard aspect ratio. However, the market share of these monitors is still very high. The next monitor we'll look at is a real giant - a 30-inch screen.

Monitors 30"

It is extremely rare to see such monsters on users' desktops. Unless professionals in some field will purchase such a display. Or a crazy gamer. The average user will never buy anything like this. In a standard apartment there is simply no place to put this monitor. It's easier to connect your computer to the TV. The effect will be the same. But such boxes exist, and you have to put up with it. So, what screen resolution is best for a 30 inch monitor? Again, this all depends on the manufacturer's specifications. But if you look purely at the diagonal, then you can safely set it to 4K. If the monitor supports this resolution. There is no point in betting less. Icons and text will look poor at lower resolutions.

Some "thirties" are also designed for 2K resolution. This is also normal. But under no circumstances try to install Full HD. Nothing good will come of this. What screen resolution is best for a monitor, in this case the manufacturers know better. Therefore, it is worth following their recommendations. However, thirty-inch models can only be used by professionals. And in this case, the more, the better. This is especially true for designers and those who work with images. There is not much text there, but the image quality will increase noticeably at high resolution.

If the maximum resolution is not set

This is a common problem for those who have just started using a computer. If in the operating system settings it is impossible to set the resolution to more than 600 by 800 pixels, then this means that there are not enough drivers in the system. And it’s not at all a fact that drivers are needed specifically for the monitor. It is much more likely that a novice user simply forgot to install the software for the video card. Then such tricks are possible. If the drivers for it are 100% correct, then it makes sense to check their version. It also happens that the “firewood” of the old version does not want to detect new monitors. Therefore, it is highly advisable to update the video card software to the latest version.

If the monitor shows nothing at all

There are several options here. First: you didn't plug it into the outlet. Check the power and connecting cord. Second: you need special drivers for this monitor. The latter problem often occurs with G-Sync-enabled devices. You just need to install the software from the CD that came with the monitor. Option three: if you have a CRT monitor, then you have set the “Hertz” to an unacceptably high level. Wait a minute and the image will return.

Conclusion

So, what is the best resolution to set for your computer monitor? As you already understand, this parameter directly depends on the diagonal, monitor type and matrix type. Therefore, you should first take into account all the features, and then set the required resolution. You can also pick it up by eye. Leave it as comfortable as you like. Personal preferences also play an important role here. In any case, you will have to read the accompanying documentation for the device. Often the specifications offered by the manufacturer are the most correct. But you should not abuse documents. You never know what they can write? You can't believe everything.

In the age of high technology, the market is replete with all kinds of computer peripherals. And when buying a monitor for his personal computer once again, a person asks a reasonable question about what size and model of screen he wants. This, of course, depends, first of all, on the purpose for which it is purchased, and only after that one or another model is selected. In any case, the first thing the owner of new equipment will want to see is a high-quality picture. And this is directly affected by screen resolution.

Which screen resolution is better?

Permission– this is the size of the image displayed on the monitor screen (measured in pixels). The more pixels, the clearer and better quality the picture.

Today the most popular is Full HD (1920x1080). In general, any manufactured monitor has its own recommended characteristics. For example, for monitors measuring 17-19 inches, the manufacturer recommends setting 1280x1024. It is at this value that the monitor will work best. And if we consider the 15-inch version, then the standard resolution will be 1024x768. It is worth noting that this parameter can be changed independently and adjusted to suit you, but remember, if you use a resolution less than the standard one, the picture will have a cloudy effect, which will obviously bring inconvenience and discomfort. Much also depends on the diagonal of the monitor; the larger it is, the correspondingly higher the screen resolution will be.

So, there is no clear answer to the question of what resolution an ideal monitor should have. First of all, you need to clearly understand why it is being purchased, and only after that delve into the characteristics of choosing the optimal resolution. These include: the size of the screen diagonal, its format, the type of built-in matrix, as well as the number of hertz (this parameter applies to CRT displays). In addition to these factors, the resolution can also be affected by what operating system the PC is running on.

T matrix types

Today in production used in monitors. And for each type of activity, different types of models are suitable.

• TN matrices (Twisted Nematic). Cheapness and speed are its main advantages. Basically, equipment with such a matrix is ​​accessible to anyone who prefers to play computer games. Among the minuses, it is worth noting the poor quality of color reproduction and minimal viewing angle.
• IPS (In-Plane Switching). The manufacturer of such matrices is the Japanese company Hitachi. Since the previous type of matrix was characterized by poor color reproduction, the company primarily focused on this factor. The color on equipment with such a matrix is ​​very distinct, bright and saturated. Regarding the viewing angle, the developers also did a great job. And if compared with the previous model, the angle has become much larger. One of the disadvantages is the long pixel response time (60 ms).
• S-IPS (Super). After some time, devices with such matrices appeared, the main feature of which was the response time reduced several times compared to the previous type (16 ms).
• VA (Vertical Alignmetn) is a kind of compromise solution between the two previous types of matrices. In comparison, there is much better color reproduction and almost instantaneous response time. But as for the transmission of halftones, it is worse than its predecessors, plus it is not the best viewing angle.

To summarize, I would like to say that the choice depends on how you are going to use the equipment. For games and applications, the main factor will be response speed, and for design work, excellent color reproduction will be the main factor.

Optimal distance to monitor

Many users often do not pay attention to the distance between them and the monitor, but in vain, because this can directly affect their vision. There is a special formula that is used to determine the distance from the eyes to the monitor ( display diagonal is multiplied by 1 or 1.5). Or you can rely on the old method, which says that the distance from the eyes to the display should be measured with an outstretched arm.

Now let’s look at resolutions for specific monitors separately.

Monitors 17″

The standard resolution for monitors of this diagonal is 1024x768 pixels. But on wide-format monitor models, the picture at standard 1024x768 looks bad, to put it mildly. Therefore, you can safely resort to the value 1920x1080 Full HD (if it is supported by the device). And you can determine this by going to the “Screen Resolution” menu and turning the resolution slider to the maximum value. If the image is clear, then this format is supported.

For CRT models, the standard resolution is 1280x1024. It is not recommended to set it higher yourself; the image will become cloudy. In general, such monitors are little used and are slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Monitors 19″

As for wide-format 19-inch monitors, for comfortable work you will need to set the resolution to 1920x1080. At the same time, there is no need to be afraid of damaging your eyesight, even sitting in front of a monitor with such a resolution all day long.

If we consider a 19″ CRT monitor, then the value here will be different and equal to 1600x1200 pixels. By increasing it, the picture will cause discomfort, so it is better to leave it at the standard one.

Monitors 22″

Such models are available with different standard resolutions: Full HD, 2K. Therefore, here you can experiment with its settings. Sometimes it happens that on a certain monitor the standard should be 2K, but in fact the picture shows itself better in Full HD resolution. In general, the setting is individual and depends only on the user’s preferences.

Monitors 23″

This is an option for monitors that are more difficult to install in the workplace or at home due to their size. What resolution will be comfortable for working on 23-inch monitors? Values ​​may vary (Full HD, 2K or 4K). At the same time, the standard provides for 2K format. In the case of 4K, you should understand that not all operating systems and applications are adapted for this resolution, so there may be problems with it. Often, in order to use 4K, you must install a special driver.

Monitors starting from 23 inches are classified as hazardous to eyesight, so if used incorrectly and the resolution is set incorrectly, they can harm you.

Monitors 30″

Such monitors can rarely be found among the average user, but among gamers and professionals in one field or another, this is a fairly common unit. The price for such models is usually quite high. For 30-inch models, you can safely set 4K resolution, provided that the monitor supports it. It is not recommended to set 1920x1080 (Full HD) on such a display, because it will look very bad.

On some "thirties" 2K will also display the picture perfectly. In general, everything here depends on the specifics of the manufacturer. All information about which resolution will be better for a particular device is usually provided in the instructions for it. Such monitors are often used by designers as well as in the gaming industry.
