Score: 73/100Rankings
The BenQ MOBIUZ EX240N is a 23.8" VA gaming monitor that delivers a rapid 165 Hz refresh rate, deep contrast and built-in speakers at an affordable price. It targets competitive gamers who value smooth motion and eye-care features, but its modest brightness, lack of USB connectivity and limited ergonomics keep it from being a universal choice.
The Samsung ViewFinity S50GC is a 34-inch flat VA ultrawide monitor delivering UWQHD resolution, 100 Hz refresh and AMD FreeSync, aimed at professionals who need extensive screen real-estate and eye-care features. Its contrast is strong, but the panel can exhibit ghosting and the stand offers only tilt adjustment.
