Deeper Dive: Our Top Tested Picks
EDITORS’ NOTE
November 25, 2025: With this update, we removed the discontinued MSI Modern MD271UL. We also added the Alienware 25 (AW2525HM) Gaming Monitor as our new Best Budget Monitor for Esports. Our remaining picks have been vetted for currency and availability. Since our last update, we tested and evaluated three new monitors for potential inclusion in this roundup and our other monitor roundups. We currently have six monitors in PC Labs for evaluation, from makers including Dell, HP, MSI, Samsung, and ViewSonic.
- Full sRGB color coverage
- Supports height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustment
- Good contrast ratio for an IPS monitor
- Generous port selection
- 100Hz refresh rate
- Awkward OSD control buttons instead of mini-joystick controller
- Modest resolution and brightness
The BenQ GW2486TC provides an excellent feature set for a display of its price. It has a small (24-inch) screen and a modest 1080p resolution, but makes up for it with a generous input-port selection, including DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB-C (which can run DisplayPort over USB-C and provide 65W of power delivery). It also has a DisplayPort-out port that supports the daisy-chaining of multiple monitors, as well as two USB-A downstream ports. Its stand has all the ergonomic features we expect of monitors priced considerably higher, including height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustment. Lastly, the screen has a 100Hz refresh rate, and it provides full sRGB color coverage and an above-par contrast ratio for a standard IPS panel.
Bargain hunters: The BenQ GW2486TC is an ideal budget monitor for bargain hunters. Despite its small screen and low resolution for a desktop display, it includes features we would expect to find in a monitor selling for considerably more. Thanks to its ergonomics, port selection, built-in speakers, and 100Hz refresh rate, it brings more to the table than other sub-$200 monitors we have reviewed.
Small-office and home-office users: The GW2486TC is a good choice for small-office, work-from-home, or home-office users on a modest budget. This 24-inch 1080p display can fit in tight spaces and provides full sRGB color coverage and above-average contrast for an IPS panel. It has a full complement of ergonomic features, and a surprisingly rich selection of ports for a monitor of its price, including DisplayPort (in and out), HDMI, USB-C, and two USB-A downstream ports.

BenQ GW2486TC Review
- Insanely low price
- Ultra-high contrast ratio
- Full sRGB color coverage
- 100Hz refresh rate and adaptive sync
- Modest resolution and screen size
- Limited port selection
- Tiny OSD control buttons
The Philips 221V8LB has a small screen—21.5 inches—but it represents an enormous value at $69.99. Like many of its budget brethren, it has a modest 1080p resolution, limited ergonomic adjustability, a meager port selection, and control buttons instead of the mini joystick we prefer. But its image quality beats many slightly more expensive screens we’ve seen, thanks to full sRGB color coverage and an astoundingly high contrast ratio, and it costs less than most of its competitors even when they’re on sale. The 221V8LB’s vertical alignment (VA) panel with 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync compatibility puts it in good stead for casual gaming, too.
Students: The Philips 221V8LB is very easy on the wallet, and can comfortably fit on dorm-room desks and in tight spaces thanks to its small stature. Plus, with full sRGB color coverage and the high contrast we expect from a vertical alignment (VA) panel, its 21.5-inch screen outdoes many of the screens we’ve seen on pricier panels.
Home users: The 221V8LB is literally a good fit for personal or home-office use. You can find room for this 22-inch monitor in most any room in the house, thanks to its diminutive frame. Its screen, while small and low-res, is exemplary for a panel of its price: It provides full sRGB color coverage and high contrast, while its 100Hz refresh rate and adaptive sync support let you get some gaming in on the side.

Philips 221V8LB Review
- Bargain price
- Roomy 27-inch display
- Ultra-high contrast ratio
- Full sRGB color coverage
- 100Hz refresh rate and adaptive sync
- Modest resolution and pixel density
- Limited port selection
- Tiny OSD control buttons
- Lacks built-in speakers
The Philips 271V8LB’s 27-inch screen is reasonably large for a monitor costing barely $100, but as a vertical alignment (VA) panel, it has the excellent contrast typical of its ilk, and it covers nearly the full sRGB color space. The screen’s 100Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync compatibility put it in good standing for casual gaming, as well. Like many budget monitors, it has a modest 1080p resolution, ergonomic adjustability limited to tilt control, a basic port selection, and control buttons instead of the mini joystick we prefer. But its image quality beats some more expensive screens we’ve seen, and it costs less than most of its competitors even when they’re on sale.
Small-office and home-office workers: The 271V8LB is surprisingly low-priced for a display of its screen size. Its 27-inch panel offers great contrast and color coverage, making it suitable for typical business use. While its 1080p resolution and modest pixel density preclude its use as a creator monitor, it should still be suitable for basic photo edits, such as cropping, resizing, and global adjustments to brightness, contrast, and/or saturation.
Home users: The Philips 271V8LB features a large screen for its modest price. Its good color coverage, ultra-high contrast, and midsized screen suit it for movie watching, and the display’s 100Hz refresh rate and adaptive sync give it some basic gaming cred.

Philips 271V8LB Review
- Relatively affordable
- Excellent color accuracy
- Support for AMD FreeSync Premium
- Nvidia G-Sync Compatible
- Poor audio quality from built-in speakers
- Not the most handsome monitor
The Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL3A stands out in the mostly barren sub-$300 gaming-monitor landscape. This QHD (2,560-by-1,440-pixel) display sports up to a 180Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium technology to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. Sure, it’s missing the accoutrements that define premium gaming monitors, but it’s an excellent performer that pairs well with both budget and mainstream PC builds and gaming consoles. Overall, the VG27AQL3A is a nice-value, mainstream-size monitor offering high enough refresh rates, low input lag, and a quality color profile.
Gamers on a budget: Cash-strapped gamers may be interested in the VG27AQL3A, which features a QHD 1440p resolution screen at a 180Hz refresh rate, and minimal input lag, according to our tests. Sticking to a Fast IPS panel (which is designed to perform well when paired with games that support high refresh rates) as an alternative to OLED helps keep the price down.
Home and home-office users: The VG27AQL3A can be enlisted as a monitor for general home or home-office use. With full sRGB color coverage, a 1440p resolution, and good color accuracy, the TUF is a solid choice for viewing photos, web pages, and movies, and should excel at general office tasks. Plus, you can get in some gaming on the side.

Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQL3A Review
- Aggressively low price
- Rock-solid gaming performance, high peak refresh for the money
- Surprisingly wide color range
- Retractable headset hanger
- Lackluster HDR experience
- No internal speakers or headphone jack
Looking to get into competitive play on the cheap? The Alienware AW2525HM offers a high refresh rate of 320Hz on a 1080p screen. It also has a 0.5ms rated response time and robust anti-tearing support (it’s AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA AdaptiveSync, and Nvidia G-Sync compatible), so it’s ideal for intense gaming sessions. Additionally, the low input lag effectively prepares the Alienware AW2525HM for nearly every gaming situation.
Outside of gaming performance, the monitor supports a surprisingly wide color range, and it offers a few creature comforts, such as a retractable headset hanger. For a super-aggressive price, the AW2525HM delivers the basics and more for budding esports hounds.
Esports gamers on a shoestring: For just $250, the Alienware AW2525HM gives you a bright 25-inch 1080p Fast IPS (like regular IPS, but with better response times) screen with full sRGB coverage, a maximum 320Hz refresh rate, and just 2.5ms of input lag at 320Hz. For a budding esports competitor, what’s not to love?
Students and space-strapped users: Given its bright screen, gaming chops, and compact frame, this monitor could serve triple duty for gaming, watching video in a dorm room or small bedroom, and for actual, ahem, classwork. With its small screen, though, you’d need to sit close, but this may be a plus for gamers who want to shut out everything but the action, or a necessity on a tight dorm desk.

Alienware 25 320Hz Gaming Monitor (AW2525HM) Review
- Curved screen
- Great sRGB color coverage
- Bright for a budget monitor
- Mini-joystick controller
- Sparse port selection
- Stand limits you to tilt adjustment
- Meager one-year warranty
A 24-inch size is small for a curved monitor, but that compact panel size keeps the price of Samsung’s CF396 Curved LED Monitor down. It’s limited to full HD (1080p) resolution and doesn’t have a slew of ports, but it’s bright for a budget monitor and has excellent sRGB color coverage. Its gently curved screen and mini-joystick controller are uncommon among panels of its price.
Families on a budget: The inexpensive CF396 would be at home in a study, a living room, or a game room. It provides some convenience features usually limited to costlier displays, and its color fidelity makes it a good choice for video viewing in small rooms.
Students: This compact Samsung monitor easily fits on a dorm-room desk or shelf, making it a great option for students. It’s an attractive display that fits into a student’s budget, yet provides the performance and features of a monitor several times its price.
Home-office workers: The Samsung CF396 is a nicely curved monitor with a modest-sized screen that fits easily into small spaces. With a bright screen and great sRGB coverage, this monitor will work well for general office work and light photo editing.

Samsung 24-Inch CF396 Curved LED Monitor Review
- Low price for an elegant design
- Three-year warranty
- Ultra-thin IPS panel
- Lightweight and compact
- 21.5 inches is small by today’s budget-monitor standards
- Basic feature set
The Acer SB220Q, a compact, general-purpose monitor, is cheap—e-tailers usually sell it for less than $100—but it isn’t shoddy. While it has a typical feature range of a budget monitor, this 21.5-inch 1080p IPS panel is amazingly thin, with very good color accuracy in the sRGB space. The SB220Q is a good choice as a second monitor if you are space-strapped, and it is reasonably portable. Its three-year warranty is surprisingly long for a monitor at its price.
Students: The Acer SB220Q can easily fit even in tiny dorm rooms, and this bargain-basement display’s sleek, slim black frame will give your space a touch of class. Though its screen is small (22 inches) and low-res (FHD, aka 1080p), it has excellent color coverage for a monitor of its price.
Home users: Tiny, with a hyper-thin screen, the Acer SB220Q is a cinch to find room for and easy on the budget. It is light enough that you can easily move it around the house and take it on trips if need be.

Acer SB220Q Review
- Five-way mini-joystick controller
- Fully realized OSD
- Built-in stand allows for easy tilt
- Bright, with solid contrast ratio
- Good value for money
- Some colors dull in photos and video
The ViewSonic VG1655 has some uncommon features for a budget portable monitor. It offers a fold-out stand with a wide tilt range. A five-way mini-joystick controller takes the place of the fidgety buttons found on most mobile monitors, and the onscreen display (OSD) menu system lets you access a wealth of settings instead of the handful offered by many rival panels. And it has two USB-C ports—one for power and one for data/video transfer—plus a mini HDMI port. Its poor sRGB coverage makes it best for working with text and spreadsheets (versus photos and video), but it shines brighter than most mobile panels.
Work-from-home and hybrid employees: Because of the limited color coverage of its 15.6-inch 1080p IPS panel, the ViewSonic VG1655 is more suitable as a work monitor than for entertainment. It stands out, however, for some special features: a built-in, fold-out stand with a wide tilt range; a mini HDMI port; a sophisticated OSD; and a mini-joystick controller (which is found on few low-priced portable displays) for breezing through the menus.
Road warriors: The VG1655 works well as a portable monitor for frequent travelers with 15.6-inch and larger laptops. Its fold-out stand can be tilted to a wide range of angles. An HDMI port adds versatility in the mostly USB-C world we live in. And the mini-joystick controller makes the VG1655’s OSD a cinch to navigate.

Buying Guide: The Best Cheap Monitors for 2025
In the market for a low-cost display? The key thing to know: Although no two budget monitor models are identical, manufacturers tend to make similar feature choices to keep prices down.
Cheap monitors used to be limited to panel sizes of 19 or 21 inches, but today, no one should have to settle on a desktop panel at that small a size without specific reason. That is because for less than $200 (and, in some cases, considerably less), you can get a general-purpose monitor with a high-quality if moderate-size (generally 24-inch, sometimes 27-inch) screen, with a native resolution that is reasonable for the panel dimensions. Usually, that is 1080p at these screen sizes. (More on that in a moment.) The “budget” category for 4K panels starts higher than $200, however (around $300). The floor for gaming monitors (which we’ll define as models with screens packing a 144Hz or higher refresh rate) starts at around $150, with a few models cheaper.
The display should be accompanied by at least a basic stand that supports tilt adjustment, plus a pair of video ports (most commonly, HDMI and VGA), and an on-screen-display (OSD) menu system controlled by a row of buttons concealed on the bottom edge or back of the monitor, or splayed across the face of the bottom bezel.

That description above approximates the minimum configuration for a mainstream budget monitor, but often, display manufacturers will sweeten the pot with one or more extras. These may include items such as an extra input port and/or audio jack, a stand that has additional ergonomic adjustability, built-in speakers, a curved panel, or a small joystick controller for the OSD (instead of clumsier buttons).
The addition of one or more of these extras, along with the monitor’s performance in quantitative measures such as brightness and color coverage, help separate standout budget monitors, such as the ones you see here, from the merely average ones. (See more about how we test monitors.)
Budget Displays: What Overall Types Are There?
Most low-cost desktop displays are fine for general-purpose use, but note some specialized classes of monitors that you’ll also see in the $200-and-under price zone.
As a group, desktop budget panels are relatively portable, in the sense that most are light enough (and have a small-enough screen) to reposition around the house. But true portable monitors are ones you can throw into a bag and take with you to a coffee shop, a conference, or a hotel room. In most cases, you would use one of these attached to a laptop, with the panel acting as a second screen for productivity work. And the panel draws its power from the PC, not from a plug in the wall.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)
Portable monitors’ screen sizes range from 12 to 17 inches, and they tend to be IPS panels with mediocre color coverage (seldom rated for much more than 70% of the sRGB gamut). Most have primitive, foldable stands; in some cases, the folding stand also serves as a screen protector when in transit. A nice touch is that many use USB Type-C ports for input—sometimes they have two—along with, perhaps, a mini HDMI port.
As for full-size desktop displays, gaming monitors also show up in this price zone, though we would extend the “budget” range for gaming displays to roughly $150 to a bit over $300, as opposed to simply less than $200. (Most $150-to-$200 gaming monitors are 24- or 27-inch panels; the cheapest larger panels, at 31 or 32 inches, start at around $220 to $250.) Most high-performance gaming panels will set you back more money. Budget gaming monitors tend to be evenly split between screens based on vertical alignment (VA) technology and in-plane switching (IPS) tech, plus support for AMD FreeSync adaptive sync technology (or, more rarely in this budget segment, support for G-Sync at the G-Sync Compatible level), and refresh rates under 200Hz. We’ll get into all that in more detail further down.
You will also spot a few budget-priced photo-centric monitors, though real creative-pro panels tend to be pricier than $200. Still, the ones that come in below that price mark have high color accuracy and coverage for the sRGB space (see more about the criteria for the best monitors for photo editing), usually at FHD, aka 1080p (1,920 by 1,080 pixels) or WUXGA (1,920 by 1,200 pixels) resolution and featuring relatively high brightness levels.
What Resolution and Screen Tech Should I Seek in a Cheap Monitor?
As noted earlier, the mainstream budget monitors we have reviewed have had screen sizes ranging from 22 to 27 inches (measured diagonally). The lion’s share of them have been at 24 inches.
On most panels in this price class, you can expect a native resolution of Full HD (aka 1080p), which is fine for a 22- or 24-inch monitor but is borderline low for a 27-incher. The smaller the screen size for a given resolution, the higher the pixel density, and (all else being equal) the sharper the image. But if you’re working at tasks such as email, word processing, and spreadsheets, or just surfing the web, rather than doing photo or video work, the larger screen may be worth any potential slight graininess in the image.
One pleasant surprise is that most of today’s budget monitors have LCD panels based on IPS technology. IPS displays are known for their very wide viewing angles, rated at up to 178 degrees in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. This means that you can look at the screen from the side, above, or below with no shifting in the color or posterization. Most of the time, the viewing angles we see with IPS panels are better than what we see with VA screens, the other common panel type in today’s budget displays (especially gaming ones). And IPS viewing angles are considerably better than those of older-school twisted nematic (TN) tech, notorious for looking faded out at off-center angles. Nowadays, TN is best avoided, simply given the quality of the cheap competition.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)
IPS also tends to deliver the best overall image quality of the three main LCD panel technologies. Nearly all the budget IPS monitors we have reviewed show good-to-excellent coverage of the sRGB color space. (sRGB is the color palette used for web-based photos and graphics, as well as many other applications.) It wasn’t too long ago that IPS panels were pricier than displays using these other technologies, but that dynamic, clearly, has shifted.
We also encounter some budget VA panels, mostly in curved-screen or gaming-friendly monitors. They have very high contrast ratios (generally rated at 3,000:1) and are capable of rendering inky blacks. They vary more in image quality and color coverage than IPS panels do, though, so it’s a good idea to look carefully at reviews of these.
Then there’s the issue of refresh rate. Mainstream budget monitors have pixel-refresh rates of either 60Hz or (much less commonly) 75Hz. Budget gaming panels have somewhat higher refresh rates, up to 240Hz. Some budget gaming panels include support for adaptive sync—almost always AMD FreeSync, in this price range—to reduce screen tearing or stuttering. A 60Hz rate is essentially all you need unless you’re a dedicated PC gamer, and even there, different game genres (and sets of eyes!) will garner more benefit from a 60Hz-plus refresh rate than others.
Most low-priced displays are light on ergonomic features (in the form of stand flexibility), being limited to the control of the screen’s tilt angle. In a few cases, we’ve seen stands that have been rickety and poorly designed, or too light for the panels they support. (That is where, again, reviews come in handy.) Expect some exceptions: Some budget monitors we have tested of late have had substantial stands that add height and pivot control.
What Ports Should I Expect to Get in a Budget Monitor?
Most budget monitors include a basic pair of ports, with the same two video inputs on most: HDMI and VGA. A decade ago, VGA—which supports an analog video signal—was found on most computers and monitors. Today, it’s seldom seen on any new desktops or laptops, but it remains useful for connecting up older, pre-HDMI computers.
(Credit: Joseph Maldonado)
A few budget monitors add a second HDMI port or a DisplayPort connector. USB Type-C display input (which pushes a DisplayPort signal over the USB-C interface) is rare in low-priced displays, except in portable monitors, where it has become the norm.
What About Speakers and Other Extras?
About half the budget monitors we have reviewed include a pair of built-in speakers, ranging from 2 to 5 watts. Although, for the most part, they can push a reasonably loud signal, their audio quality is uniformly mediocre. They tend to sound a bit tinny and have poor bass response. Still, unless you’re an audiophile, it’s nice to have dual speakers for when you need them, if you don’t want to clutter up your desk with separate PC speakers. Many monitors include headphone jacks, and a few add audio-in jacks.
It’s uncommon to get any connectivity beyond that. Pricier panels will have creature comforts like USB hubs built into the monitor housing, but the under-$200 crowd leaves that kind of convenience feature off, most of the time.
As with many lower-cost electronics, manufacturers often skimp on budget-monitor warranties, with most of them covering their displays for a mere one year. A few have surprised us, though, with three-year, or even four-year, coverage plans. (Take a bow, Philips, to name just one.)
Ready to Buy the Right Budget Monitor for You?
The better low-priced displays tend to offer small surprises for the money versus the rest. That could be a curved screen, a panel with a minimal bezel, or a mini-joystick controller in place of tiny OSD buttons. Features like these add a modicum of value to these displays, and these nuances make all the difference at this price. Whether you are seeking a cost-effective monitor for home or home-office tasks, low-impact gaming, or taking with you on vacation, you can find many capable—and some downright compelling—choices among our top picks listed here.
