Best widescreen monitor 24 inch: Top 5

The quality of computer screens has improved considerably in recent years. Just as with a modern flat screen television, you can now expect to experience a high quality picture on your computer's widescreen monitor too. The main criteria to look out for when choosing a widescreen monitor are its resolution, which is measured in pixels, its contrast ratio, which determines the contrast and color vibrancy, and other features, such as whether it has built-in audio speakers, webcam, or is suitable for being wall mounted. I hope that you enjoy reading my top 5 list for the best widescreen monitor 24 inch and find it useful.

The VX2450WM-LED from Viewsonic is a 24 inch widescreen monitor which offers full HD 1920x1080 resolution and a contrast ratio of 20,000,000:1, meaning deeper blacks and more vibrant colors. It also has integrated stereo speakers and there is the option of having it wall mounted (you will need to buy a wall mount bracket).

The Samsung B2430H widescreen monitor has a distinctive modern design, which gives it an elegant appearance. It also features MagicEco, which allows you to work at brightness levels of 100%, 75% or 50%, meaning that you save money and power. It has full HD picture quality with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080.

The ASUS VW246H widescreen monitor has two 2W speakers built into it to take care of your audio needs. Its 24 inch screen provides full HD picture quality and a Smart Contrast Ratio of 20000:1. It also comes with full HDMI connectivity.

The ZR24w from HP is a slightly more expensive widescreen monitor than many, but worth it in my opinion for two reasons. First of all, there’s the picture quality – the colors are simply stunning, the picture is exceptionally sharp and the contrast and clarity are outstanding. Secondly, the comfort adjust stand is great, especially if you are like me and spend a lot of time at your computer, as you can play with the position to get it exactly right – it also manages to be very sturdy too, which can’t be said for all adjustables.

The Acer ET.FV3HP.A02 is a widescreen monitor with the combination of picture quality and value for money as its main selling point. The 1920 x 1080 picture resolution and Dynamic Contrast Ratio of 80000:1 mean an impressive picture quality that is difficult to beat in its particular price range.
