Philips 221V8LB
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Philips 221V8LB is a compact 22-inch VA monitor that delivers strong contrast, near-full sRGB coverage and a smooth 100 Hz refresh rate, making it a solid budget choice for home-office and casual gaming.
The Sansui 24-inch monitor delivers a Full HD IPS experience with a 100 Hz refresh rate, FreeSync and TÜV-certified eye-care features, packaged in a frameless design and VESA-mount ready chassis. It lacks built-in audio and height adjustment, and its HDMI 1.4 port limits future-proofing.
