10 best monitors for eyes

In the modern world without monitors anywhere. We work by looking at the computer screen; relaxing, watching a movie on the big screen TV and playing on the 5-inch display of the smartphone. Because of this, many people fear for their vision. Indeed, behind the screen a person blinks less often, which is why the mucous membrane of the eye is not moistened enough. Also, the illumination of the backlight, low definition and more. But, fortunately, you can say goodbye to almost all of these problems by choosing a high-quality, eye-safe monitor.

What kind of monitor fits the definition of "safe"? Yes, almost any modern high-quality model. More important is how you will use this monitor. First, it is necessary to observe a certain distance from the eyes to the screen. It is believed that it is one and a half to two diagonals - you should not squint while reading and run your eyes from corner to corner. Secondly, you need to rest your eyes - at least once an hour, leave the monitor for five minutes and look into the distance.

Of course, we have a few recommendations on the selection of the monitor:

1. Pay attention to the type of backlight: it is better if it is GB-LED or RGB-LED
2. Prefer screens with FlickerFree technology support - in such monitors there is no negative effect on the flickering of the backlight
3. Resolution. The bigger, the better. But do not forget that some programs and operating systems do not scale well, which is why the text and controls will be too small, which will make you squint.
4. Diagonal display. Do not forget about the optimal distance to the screen. If it is impossible to provide it at your workplace, select a monitor of a smaller diagonal.
5. Screen cover On glossy monitors, movies and photos look great, but while working with text, glare will tire. It should be preferred model with a matte finish.

According to these requirements, we have compiled for you the rating of the best monitors for the eyes. Go!

Top 10 best monitors for the eyes

10 DELL P2217H

Let's start the rating with the cheapest device that could satisfy us by a set of parameters. The design of the traditional DELL models is a small 21.5-inch IPS display, a rectangular stable stand and a bracket system that allows you to quickly adjust the height of the screen above the table, the angle of inclination and even translate the display into portrait mode (rotate 90 degrees). ). All this will protect not only your eyes, but also the spine. In addition, through the hole in the stand, you can gently hold all the wires (and there are plenty of them in the kit - to connect in all possible ways).

The resolution of the most compact monitor in the rating is rather big - 1920x1080 pixels - individual pixels are not visible at work. To protect the eyes, support for the Flicker-Free technology and the weakening of the blue color are provided - especially this set will be needed by night owls. The screen coating is anti-reflective - it is comfortable to work even in front of the window on a sunny day.

9 HP Z24n G2

We turn to the monitor with an atypical for 2019 aspect ratio - 16:10. In a fashion narrow models, convenient for watching videos or games. Z24n G2 is a compromise solution that will be slightly better suited for working with text, photos and other tasks where vertical viewing angle is important. Diagonal IPS matrix resolution of 1920x1200 pixels 24 inches. To reduce eye fatigue, a flicker-free backlight, blue-attenuation technology and an anti-reflective coating are used. Also pleases high brightness - 300 cd / m² - it allows not to squint when working under bright lighting.

Separately, I would like to mention the design. When viewed from the front it seems that the screen is hanging in the air - the leg is almost invisible. Behind - metal cover, hidden connectors and minimalistic logos. This monitor is not ashamed to put on the table in the middle of the office. In addition, the leg is very functional - you can turn the display without turning the stand, adjust the height, the angle of inclination.

8 ASUS ROG Swift PG248Q

It’s almost impossible to do without rating gaming devices. The first representative of this category was the relatively affordable model PG248Q. You cannot count on excellent color reproduction, because the TN matrix is ​​used. In addition, some users complain about the yellow light at the top of the screen. But the requirements for the game model are completely different - speed is needed here. And ASUS provides it fully: the refresh rate can reach 180 Hz during overclocking (the standard value is 144 Hz) with a response of 1 ms - you can comfortably play the most dynamic online shooters. There is 3D support if anyone else uses it ...

From the "protective" technology is nothing new - Flicker-free, the weakening of the blue color and the anti-reflective coating of the display. We note only the presence of G-Sync, which allows you to display a smoother picture without artifacts. Among the disadvantages, it is possible to note only the low enough minimum brightness - about 65 cd / m². It is not recommended to use the monitor for gatherings in complete darkness - tired eyes.

7 MSI Optix MPG27CQ

MSI is very popular among gamers. People's love is easy to understand by looking at the MPG27CQ. Yes, it's expensive. But what a handsome man! The monitor is 27-inch, with a resolution of 2K (2560x1440 pixels) - the graininess is difficult to notice from the usual distance. Due to this, it is comfortable not only to play, but also to work with the text, the eyes do not get tired. A curved TFT VA matrix is ​​used that combines good color reproduction (the screen is factory calibrated with 100% sRGB coverage) with high speed - 144 Hz refresh rate. To reduce fatigue, standard technologies were used: Flicker-Free and weakening of blue. Also note a wide range of brightness: from 35 to 400 cd / m² - work comfortably and in bright daylight (also thanks to the matte matt coating), and in complete darkness.

Separately, we note the design. Aggressive, sharp lines, a combination of different materials, RGB pattern on the back surface and front lights with SteelSeries GameSense support. Everything not only looks cool, but also benefits during the game.

6 DELL P2415Q

DELL - one of the recognized leaders in the production of monitors. P2415Q is the highest quality and safest 4K UltraHD monitor that we were able to find. The diagonal of the matrix is ​​23.8 inches. The stand is minimalistic, but well thought out in terms of cable management. The adjustment possibilities are wide: vertical, horizontal, tilt, portrait mode.

The picture quality is excellent. And if you calibrate the monitor yourself, it will be even better. Image enhancement technologies that prevent eyestrain are the same - both FlickerFree and the system for improving the uniformity of the backlight are supported. Also pleased with the high uniformity of color temperature, so that the background becomes as uniform as possible, and therefore reduces the load on the eyes. Finally, it is worth noting the high-quality semi-matt coating of the screen with a minimal crystal effect.

5 DELL U3415W

Monitors with an aspect ratio of 21: 9 increasingly appear on user desks. The advantages of the format are obvious: while working on it, you can place two applications side by side at once, and movies are displayed without annoying black bars. But regardless of the format, the monitor must be safe, and the U3415W is just that. Diagonal AH-IPS matrix is ​​34 inches. The resolution is 3440x1440 pixels. The highlight of the model is a slight curvature, which is useful, given the huge width - to move your eyes from one corner to another is less tiring.

For a lesser load on the eyes, the same technologies are used as in P2415Q, discussed above. Systems to prevent flicker backlight and improve its uniformity, a special mode for working with documents (PaperMode). Of the nice features worth noting is the support of MST, which allows you to connect a second monitor directly to the U3415W, and powerful, fairly high-quality stereo speakers.

4 Philips BDM4350UC

Philips is the largest monitor in the collection. The diagonal of this monster is almost 42.51 inches - you can safely connect an external TV tuner and use the BDM4350UC as a TV or screen for a game console. The resolution of the TFT IPS matrix is ​​3840x2160 pixels, i.e. UltraHD 4K. Of the minuses, the lack of monitor adjustments for height, angle, etc. immediately catches the eye. - there are only two rigidly fixed legs. Semi-gloss display coating. The crystal effect is almost invisible, but you will have to put up with highlights from bright light sources. The picture quality is excellent, the factory calibration is close to ideal, and even an experienced user is unlikely to be able to improve color reproduction.

With technology to reduce eye strain, everything is very ambiguous. On the one hand, it supports both FlickerFree and the backlight brightness leveling system. On the other hand, the effect is noticeable only from the operation of the technology that reduces flicker. SmartUniformity, designed to reduce the difference in brightness in different parts of the screen, if it works, it is extremely weak - even the professional eye is unlikely to see the difference. As a result, we have the largest monitor on the market with excellent image quality, but not with the most advanced technology to protect the eyes from fatigue.

3 Samsung C49HG90DMI

Often, users use two (and sometimes more) monitors at once. But why buy a few devices, if you can do with one great solution from a well-known manufacturer. Model C49HG90DMI stands out, first of all, very wide - 106 cm - curved screen. Diagonal 48.9 inches. In this case, the display, in fact, fully corresponds to the two 27 ’monitors, placed next to each other, but without an annoying frame in the middle.

The resolution is 3840x1080 pixels. A quantum dot matrix (a more advanced analogue of OLED) is used. It allows you to play, refresh rate 144 Hz, and work with graphics - 100% sRGB coverage is declared. Backlight without flicker, there is a blue color attenuation technology. Note HDR support - in addition to Samsung, only the leader of the rating has it.

Of the interesting features, we note the possibility of removing images from two sources at once. For example, in one half a picture from a laptop, on the other - from a desktop PC. There is also a built-in window sorting manager.

2 BenQ PD3200U

We are used to seeing even in the most budget smartphones a whole heap of useful sensors. Unfortunately, they are extremely rare in monitors. One such unicum is BenQ PD3200U. The model belongs to the class of professional, designed for working with graphics. 32-inch IPS screen has a resolution of 4K UltraHD. Declared 100% coverage of the color space sRGB. Maximum brightness of 350 cd / m² together with a matte finish is enough to work in bright light, but the minimum level is 67 cd / m² I would like to lower a little more.

Of course, the screen uses a flicker-free backlight and pre-settings that reduce the brightness of the blue color and contrast. In addition, the manufacturer added a light sensor, with which the brightness adjusts itself to the environment. There is also a presence sensor - the monitor can detect when there is no one in front of it and go into power saving mode.

Of the amenities, we note an interesting, but strict design, a remote control for managing settings, a pair of speakers with a total power of 10 W and the presence of a card reader on the right side.

1 ASUS ProArt PA32UC-K

Leadership give the monitor with the highest quality picture in the world. Moreover, this title was not invented by us - a lot of specialized resources appreciated PA32UC-K. Like the previous participant, the leader has a 32-inch IPS matrix with a diagonal of 32 inches and a 4K UltraHD resolution. But the quality is much higher. Adobe RGB color space is covered at 99.2%. HDR10 is supported, and the maximum brightness is about 850 cd / m² with real measurements! There is a factory calibration, but if it does not suit you for some reason, a calibrator is included X-rite i1 Display Pro.

All of the above options will not only help in working with graphics, but will also be less tiring on your eyes. To help them, we used the technology already familiar to us. Flicker-Free, weakening blue. There is also a function to reduce backlight irregularity. It is worth noting a modern set of connectors: 4xHDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.2 and USB all three types. Thanks USB Type-C can not only display a picture from the laptop on the screen, but also use the monitor as a hub to connect all kinds of peripherals.
