Is a 22-inch monitor big enough?

Size is usually the first thing that any of us think of when we debate buying a new PC monitor. We want to be sure we have adequate screen space to work with as well as a good resolution for viewing things on our monitor. 22 and 23-inch monitors enable all of this and more.

When it comes to screen sizes, a 22" monitor sits just below the standard size for any screen, making it more than up to the task of handling jobs both big and small. Large enough to be worked on comfortably, this size can provide the ideal setup for both home and business users on a budget, fully capable of handling skype calls and streaming videos.

But a 22" monitor isn't just great for work. If you have a gaming PC, you might be surprised to learn that many pro-gamers actually prefer a small size monitor. 22-inch screens still provide an ideal field of view, but their smaller size allows for better refresh rates and a substantially reduced input lag, meaning you won't be dropping any frames and will kickass no matter the game you're in.

What is the best resolution for a 22" monitor?

Generally speaking, when it comes to any monitor, you want a screen that is capable of displaying HD content without issue. Therefore, when choosing a 22 or 23-inch monitor, your best option will be to find one with a resolution of at least 1920 x 1080.

By choosing a display that is at least 1080p, you can be sure that any games or video content you stream will be of HD quality. Many people worry that the size of their screen will affect the resolution of its image, but this is simply not the case. Resolution and pixel density are not linked to screen size, meaning a 22 or 23-inch monitor will deliver a fantastic feast for the eyes with whatever you're displaying.

Of course, if you want the best image, you should keep an eye out for LED or OLED displays. Both these options provide the highest resolution and fastest response rates.

Benefits of a 22-inch monitor

As a 22" monitor can be considered on the smaller side, this gives it the advantage of being able to comfortably fit on most desks or office setups. As long as you've got space to put your PC tower, you'll be able to find a spot for your monitor. On top of this, a slightly smaller monitor is the perfect monitor choice if plan on working with dual screens. This is particularly useful if you're involved in live streaming, allowing you to game on one screen while monitoring chat on the other.

You also don't need to worry about lacking any potentially important connections with a monitor of this size. Most monitors have HDMI support as well as connections for VGA, DVI-D, and other nifty connection options - but make sure you check, as this can vary from model to model.

Naturally, a smaller monitor is also cheaper than a 24 inch or curved screen, making it great for people who need good screen space on a budget.
