How should gamers buy monitors? Stay away from TN bargains
The Spring Festival is coming soon. Friends who study and work outside have returned home one after another and started to prepare for the New Year. Major shopping malls and e-commerce platforms have also taken advantage of the opportunity to bring consumers various promotional activities, discounts, flash sales, full discounts, and rush purchases. There are many types of activities, and monitor products are no exception. Of course, it is always inevitable to be fooled by various means. Therefore, friends who like to buy goods online must pay attention. The following Spring Festival special price cheating LCDs must not be bought. Regret buying small-size LCDs With the increasing popularity of large-screen monitors, some small-size (less than 20 inches) LCD monitors are very cheap on the e-commerce platform. The price of less than 500 yuan plus the various promotional methods of merchants may make many consumers lively, but monitors less than 21.5 inches are already non-mainstream sizes on the market.
Small-size monitors are facing elimination and manufacturers basically no longer produce LCDs of these sizes. Therefore, those small-size monitors are basically products before 2008. Therefore, even brand new products face the problem of internal structure aging. Secondly, because they use old-fashioned LCD panels, their aperture ratio, color control, and panel contrast adjustment are not as mature as they are now. Therefore, there will generally be some gaps in the display effect of the picture. What's more, some small-size monitors may even be refurbished machines, which will not be of any use to consumers if they buy them, but will affect their mood .
Monitors of around 27 inches are currently a good choice. In addition, large-screen monitors are now the mainstream. Whether it is for work, study or entertainment, larger monitors can provide better display effects and user experience. Therefore, when you buy a monitor, you must not blindly pursue low prices and buy small-sized monitors. A monitor of around 27 inches is a good choice. Don't buy cheap TN panels . Currently, LCD panels are mainly divided into two categories, wide-viewing angle panels (PVA/MVA/IPS/PLS panels) and non-wide-viewing angle panels (TN panels). TN panels are panel technologies from the early development of LCDs. Compared with wide-viewing angle panels, TN panels have a very small viewing range, poor picture quality, and a poor experience.
IPS/TN panel comparison chart Except for some relatively high-end gaming monitors (TN panels have a faster response time), TN panels are mainly used in some low-end entry-level monitors . However, with the increasing popularity of wide-viewing angle panels, monitors using wide-viewing angle panels have been able to reach the same low price as TN panels. Therefore, TN panels no longer have any advantages.
Wide viewing angle panel is an essential point when buying a monitor. Therefore, it is not recommended to buy some low-priced TN panel monitors. When purchasing monitors, you must pay attention that some merchants may sell monitors at super low prices at the earliest TN panel monitors. Don't be fooled by any low-price gimmicks. Such monitors will be eliminated in a short time. Fake e-sports have no game optimization . In 2016, e-sports monitors were very popular with many game fans and professional e-sports players, but the level of e-sports monitors on the market was uneven, with prices ranging from several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Real e-sports monitors focus on the optimization of e-sports parameters such as refresh rate, response time, and synchronous graphics card technology, and are matched with curved surfaces, 21:9 ultra-wide screens and other elements, and strict control is required from design to quality control.
A true gaming monitor focuses on optimizing gaming parameters such as refresh rate, response time, and synchronous graphics card technology. However, many LCD monitors nowadays do not work on these parameters at all. They just randomly add a few menu options and enter the gaming mode, and then call it an "gaming monitor." They don't even have an HDMI or DP port. Players cannot feel any gaming optimization when using them, and they waste their money and are still not satisfied.
E-sports monitors need to have at least one HDMI or DP interface. These merchants use the gimmick of "e-sports low price" to attract consumers, which is a very irresponsible attitude. Therefore, when consumers buy e-sports monitors, they must not be confused by those ordinary monitors with "e-sports" coats, and they should still choose some well-known e-sports monitor brands. Never buy three-no products When buying monitors on the electronic commodity platform during the Spring Festival, many consumers may buy "three-no products" in order to rush to buy. Therefore, when buying, everyone should first pay attention to the listing date of the monitor, especially some monitors that they have not paid attention to in daily life, because many merchants will release many old models that seem to have a large discount when they are discounted. Blindly rushing to buy these seemingly cheap products may cause a huge psychological gap after receiving them.
Pay attention to the launch time and warranty period of the special price display. Secondly, we should pay special attention to the after-sales service. We must look at the replacement and warranty period, whether it is nationwide warranty, whether it enjoys the three guarantees service, and how long the warranty period is. Many consumers do not pay attention to these when shopping, and it is a bit late to think about it when some problems really occur.
Don’t forget to issue an invoice when buying a monitor online. In addition, the most important point is that you must not forget to issue an invoice, and when the invoice is issued, which is directly related to whether consumers can enjoy the three guarantees service. Therefore, when buying a monitor, do not buy products without a production date, a warranty date, or an invoice! Buying second-hand products is risky. The life of a monitor is maintained at three to five years, and some can even reach seven or eight years. It can be said that the life cycle of the monitor is still very long. Therefore, there are second-hand monitors for sale on many second-hand trading platforms, and many users will choose them. However, there are many risks in buying second-hand monitors, which may cause damage to the user's physical and mental health and property losses.
Some second-hand monitors sold on Xianyu look very worn out. First of all, second-hand monitors are very harmful to the eyes. The LED backlight of the LCD monitor will decrease in brightness after long-term use. Coupled with the change of the film group, the brightness uniformity of the screen will change greatly. This change is slow and not easy to detect, but it puts a lot of pressure on the eyes. Therefore, for users who use monitors for a long time, it is very unwise to choose second-hand products.
Some second-hand monitors are very old inside. Secondly, after the LCD monitor has been used for a long time, the insulation, stability and reliability of its various components will decrease, and there will be many unsafe hidden dangers, which may cause great property losses. And with the use of the LCD monitor, the color of the display will become worse and the energy consumption will increase. Therefore, the risk of buying a second-hand LCD monitor is still very high. Summary of the full text: When buying a monitor during the Spring Festival, you must be careful not to be confused by the above-mentioned pitfalls of the LCD. Not only can you not enjoy the joy of replacing a new LCD monitor, but it will affect your mood for the New Year. Therefore, it is best for everyone to go to offline physical stores or official flagship stores on e-commerce platforms to buy, choose the most suitable product for yourself, and carefully understand the product before placing an order.
