KOORUI 24 Inch Monitor

When searching for your next monitor, screen size will most likely be the first thing you look at. Like any consumer electronic display, screen size is measured diagonally from either bottom corner to its opposite top corner, or vice versa. Currently the screen sizes range up to 80’’ , but the average range that should be in your buying sights is between 19’’ and 43’’ .

Now’s a great time to introduce monitor screen aspect ratios and how they relate to screen resolutions. By definition, aspect ratio is a display screen’s width in relation to the screen’s height. For example, some of the first television sets sold were near-square screens with a slightly larger width than height, making a 4:3 aspect ratio. Now, computer-screen resolutions (though absolutely similar to aspect ratio) are measured and portrayed in width by height pixels.

In 1987, the world was first introduced to monitors that housed 4:3 screens with a 640×480 resolution. As of writing, most computer monitors use widescreen ratios and Full HD resolutions, with the most popular being 16:9 at 1920×1080 pixels. By doubling up the width + height dimensions within an aspect ratio, you can get sharper resolutions (clearer visuals) due to more pixels being packed into the same aspect ratio. Of course, these aspect ratios and resolutions have also evolved due to more variations, such as curved displays and ultra wide monitors.

Aspect Ratios & Common Relative Resolutions

4:3 = 640×480, 1440×1080, 1920×1440 and 2048×1536

16:9 = 1280×720 (720p), 1920×1080 (1080p), 2560×1440 (2K), 3840×2160 (4K), 5120×2889 (5K) and 7680×4320 (8K)

21:9 = 2560×1080, 3440×1440 and 5120×2160

32:9 = 3840×1080 and 5120×1440

If you’re looking to game and get the best performance (graphics card output of frames per second & a monitor’s refresh rate) it needs to be noted that higher resolutions will require more graphics-processing power. Though 4K gaming is not impossible you’ll most likely need a system that runs and implements the power of two graphics cards to one display. If you’re on a budget or want the smoothest gaming experience, it’s best to stick to a resolution of 1920×1080. The KOORUI computer monitor 24 inch pictured here is a good choice.
