Ships with powerful artillery weapons. Characteristic features were a small draft and a very low freeboard (only 60-90 cm). The few heavy guns were placed in rotating turrets with an almost circular fire. Reservation provided high security for the entire surface of the ship (sides, decks, towers). They were mainly used to suppress coastal batteries and destroy enemy coastal facilities. The main problem was the weak resistance to waves, which limited the combat use of monitors.

The advent of monitors

The prerequisites for the creation of monitors appeared after 1859. It was during this period that ships armored with steel plates appeared in France. Later in the UK, such ships were called "battleships", it was the use of ships of this type that radically changed the nature of naval battles.

First practical use armored ships was during the American Civil War. Battleships were in service with both sides of the conflict. The Confederates had low-sided armored ships with a casemate mounted on top with sloping walls for an artillery battery. The first of them was a frigate converted after a fire Merrimack, which was then named Virginia. After that, a series of similar armored ships was built.

The federal authorities decided to create a ship capable of withstanding the forces of the Confederation. Swedish emigrant John Erickson, who already had experience in creating technical innovations, decided to create a completely new and unparalleled ship in the world. This despite the fact that he planned to complete the construction of the battleship in just three months. Erickson's project was so convincing that President Lincoln declared, "I feel the way a girl feels when she puts on a stocking for the first time: there's something in it." After that, the commission approved the project of a new battleship. John Erickson built a completely new ship in New York in just 100 days - Monitor. Already on February 25, 1862, the battleship was commissioned, and on March 9, the ship arrived in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

The design of the newest armored ship was innovative. The hull of the ship was all-metal. The sides had a height of about 60 cm and were armored. In addition to the sides, the deck was also booked. Closer to the stern of the battleship were two chimneys, which had to be dismantled before the start of the battle. The deck surface had practically no superstructures, the only exceptions were the wheelhouse and turret. Both the cabin and the tower had good armor. So the armor of the tower was multi-layered and had a thickness of 8 inches, which is approximately equal to 203 mm. Such armor protected the battleship from guns of southerners of all calibers. The first commander of the ship, Lieutenant Worden, spoke of such a reservation: “ if the projectile hits the tower at an acute angle, it will bounce off it without causing damage».

The turret housed two 11-inch (279 mm) Dahlgren smoothbore guns, which were muzzle-loaded. To do this, they advanced to the ports after reloading on hoists. These guns were not intended to penetrate the armor of enemy vehicles, but to break armor sheets or knock down their attachments.

Monitors in combat

The first battle of monitors occurred between the ancestor of this class USS Monitor and casemate battleship CSS Virginia, which occurred during the American Civil War on March 9, 1862 on the Hampton roadstead.

But during the battle, none of the battleships won a victory over the opponent. This happened because of the good armored battleships. For more than three hours, the ships could not inflict damage on each other. In guns CSS Virginia explosive bombs were used, which could not cause damage USS Monitor since they were used to damage wooden ships. On USS Monitor the cannons fired cannonballs, but their flight speed was slow due to reduced propellant charges to prevent the Dahlgren guns mounted on it from bursting.

During this battle, ships of this class showed high combat qualities. A number of countries have expressed interest in monitors. Soon a large number of battleships of this type were built, almost all of them were enlarged and more armed copies of the ancestor of this class - USS Monitor .

Military experts of those times were sure that monitors would soon replace other types of ships. But the ships of this class did not live up to expectations, their low-sidedness negatively affected their resistance to waves. Thus, the seaworthiness of the monitors was at a rather low level.

Evidence of the low resistance of these ships to high waves was the death USS Monitor, which sank during transportation due to the waves that swept over its deck. In addition, all monitors had a very small margin of buoyancy and did not have good survivability. The advent of new weapons in the form of mines, torpedoes and powerful guns has drastically reduced the value of monitor armor.

Despite the amazing armor and all-round fire from powerful guns, the monitors were a real punishment for their own team. The crew was below the waterline in terrible conditions. In addition to poor ventilation, constant darkness and tightness, there were problems with the temperature inside the monitor. In the engine room, the temperature was up to 62 ° C, and the ventilation hatches were closed even at the slightest disturbance. Thus, on the one hand, the crew inside the monitor was safe from enemy fire, but the conditions inside the ship were terrible.

When creating seaworthy battleships, the height of the surface part increased significantly, and the armored belt was only at the level of the waterline. The buoyancy margin was significantly increased and the ships did not go to the bottom due to minor damage to the hull in the underwater part and the waterline level. In the course of such modernization, seaworthy ships were obtained, which differed from the "classic" monitors. Their "invulnerability" gave way to practicality and improved seaworthiness.

But despite all the shortcomings, the monitors were a formidable weapon and proved to be extremely effective for action on rivers and in coastal waters. The construction of ships of this type continued until the Second World War. For example, in the 1930s, 6 river monitors of the SB-37 project were built in the Soviet Union. One of them was the monitor Zheleznyakov».

Hello tankers! Since tanks appeared, people often ask me, what kind of computer is needed for World of Tanks? And I decided to prepare a universal article with tips on buying a gaming computer in three categories, in fact, you will learn about it below.

But if you decide to figure it all out yourself, then let's start analyzing several options, and you already choose the one that suits you.

To play to the max

The graphics exposed to the fullest are very pleased with their beauty. WoT developers tried and worked out everything to the smallest detail, but not everyone saw all this beauty.

If you have a desire to play without thinking about FPS, then I recommend choosing a computer based on these parameters:

Now let's decode it.

I recommend choosing a processor from the Intel family and taking the latest generation of the i5 or i7 line. Frequency - the higher the better
Ideally, the video card should be with an Nvidia chip and preferably not lower than the GTX750ti, but better from the GTX950 and always from 2Gb of memory
It is also better to take reliable RAM, for example, from Corsair or OCZ, and it is desirable that these be sets of 2 or 4 modules. They usually work great together.

I don't specifically write specific titles components, because every half a year the situation changes, the main thing for you is to know where to aim when choosing, the rest will be helped to do in the store.

For playing on medium settings

If you have a more modest budget, then you can not overpay for expensive components and collect an average gaming computer, which will easily pull World of Tanks on average.

Again, I advise you to take the processor from the manufacturer Intel, it will be enough for the latest generation core i3 or something from the Pentium Gxxxx series (instead of 4 x's, there is usually a digital model designation)
The video card in this case must be at least 1Gb of DDR5 memory. The best option there will be something like GTX660 or GTX750.
4Gb of RAM will be enough, but I advise you to take a frequency of at least 1600Mhz

But here the savings will be not only due to the listed three components, you can also put a cheaper mATX motherboard, less powerful block power supply and in the end you will get an average, but productive machine with an acceptable price.

For playing at low settings

If you need a computer for WoT, but want to make a small sacrifice, then the following option will serve you perfectly as a starting point.

Look for a processor among Intel Pentium Gxxxx - they are inexpensive, but among them there are options close to core i3
You can take a video card with 1G DDR3 memory, but be sure to make sure that the bus width is 128bit (if they are pushing from 64bit, send all sellers in the forest)
I advise you not to save on RAM and take 4Gb with the same frequency of 1600Mhz, you will spend 1000 more, but the computer will be much faster

I say this based on personal experience, working for more than 5 years in a computer store, I often met people who bought computer equipment and in the end they were disappointed that they could save a lot if they had consulted a specialist before buying.

Got questions? Ask in the comments. I will try to answer them, or maybe even pick the best build for you.

On this I say goodbye to you, be careful when buying equipment and then it will delight you for many years.

This article is for those who want to buy new computer, improve the old one, purchase a monitor, a mouse, or at least a mouse pad

1. Processor

Why did I start with the processor and not say with the graphics card? Because the performance in the game "World of Tanks" is highly dependent on the processor. The game loves Intel processors more than AMD processors. A computer with the same graphics card, but with an Intel processor, produces 1.5-2 times higher frame rate (FPS), which greatly affects your efficiency in the game.

If you are not particularly interested in other games and you are not engaged in video editing, then, in principle, an Intel Pentium G4560, G4600, G4620 processor (2 cores / 4 threads) will suffice.
Processor Intel Pentium G4560

If you plan to play other modern games or engage in video editing, then it is advisable to purchase 4 nuclear processor Intel Core i5-7400, i5-7500.
Processor Intel Core i5-7400

If you want to change the processor on an old computer, then choose the most powerful one supported by your motherboard. What processors does it support motherboard can be found by the model number on the manufacturer's website.

2. Cooler

In principle, you can take a boxed processor complete with a cooler. But if you want your computer to make as little noise as possible, then it is better to purchase a cooler separately, and buy a processor without a cooler. The most optimal in terms of price / quality ratio are vertical coolers with DeepCool and Zalman heat pipes.
CPU Cooler Deepcool GAMMAXX 400

For a Pentium processor, a cooler with 2-3 heat pipes, a 300 gram heatsink and a 92 mm fan will suffice. For processor Core i5 will be optimal with a cooler with 4 heat pipes, a radiator weighing from 500 grams and a 120 mm fan.

3. Video card

The game "World of Tanks" is not very demanding on the video card, and to play at medium graphics settings, in principle, a 2 GB GTX 1050 is enough.
ASUS GTX 1050 graphics card

If you are not very tight on funds, then take the GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB better, it will allow you to play at high settings.
Video card Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti

If you want to play other modern games as well, or have some headroom for the future, get the 3GB GTX 1060.
MSI GTX 1060 graphics card

4. RAM

The World of Tanks game, in principle, only needs one 4 GB memory bar, and one more can be installed in the future if necessary. But if you plan to play other games, you need 8 GB of RAM and it is also better to take them with two 4 GB sticks so that the memory works in dual-channel mode, this reduces lag in games.

The exception is the case if you are building a powerful computer and want to increase the memory to 16 GB in the near future, then it is better to take one bar for 8 GB. The most optimal for today is DDR4 memory with a frequency of 2400 MHz.

5. Hard disk and SSD

Optimal recommended volume hard drive for today 1 TB, then everything depends on your needs. In terms of reliability, hard drives have proven themselves well. western digital(WD).
HDD Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EZEX 1TB

A good option would be to install solid state drive(SSD), the speed of the computer and the loading of games will be more pleasant. Under Windows and your favorite game World of Tanks, in principle, a 120-128 GB SSD is enough. If you also play other modern games, then 240-256 GB is desirable.

The normal read speed of an SSD is 450-550 MB / s, the write speed can be lower in the range of 350-500 MB / s. MLC memory is more durable than TLC, but also more expensive, so this is optional. Best SSDs produced by Intel, Crucial, Samsung, SanDisk. Of the less expensive, you can take Corsair, Plextor, A-Data.
SSD A-Data disk Ultimate SU650 240GB

6. Motherboard

For Intel processors Pentium and Core i5 on socket 1151, I recommend motherboards based on the B250 or H270 chipset from ASUS or MSI.
maternal MSI board B250 PC MATE

If you have the opportunity, then take a motherboard from the gaming series (GAMING), it will be equipped with a good sound and network card, as well as a higher quality of the element base, stability and service life.
Motherboard MSI B250M GAMING PRO

7. Case and power supply

The most optimal price will be to purchase an AeroCool case with a 500-600 W power supply, depending on the power of the video card. If you have the opportunity and desire, then you can purchase separately a better power supply and a separate case that you like in design.

Of the high-quality and not very expensive power supplies, I recommend Chieftec or Thermaltake. Among the most interesting case manufacturers are AeroCool, Cooler Master, Corsair, Cougar, Fractal Design, NZXT, Zalman.

You can download the program for calculating the required power of the power supply in the "" section.

8. DVD drive

9. Monitor

I recommend purchasing a monitor with a diagonal of about 23″ with a matte IPS, PLS or high-quality TN matrix with Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080) and a response time of 4-8 ms (this is quite enough). If you want better, then pay attention to the brands DELL, NEC, HP.
Dell P2217H monitor

If it’s cheaper, then Acer, Viewsonic, since the quality of monitors from popular Samsung and LG brands in the budget segment is now unimportant.

10. Keyboard

If you want to have full control over the game, then it is advisable to purchase a gaming keyboard, especially if you plan to play other games as well. One of the most optimal in terms of price / quality ratio A4Tech Bloody keyboards.
Keyboard A4Tech Bloody B254

This keyboard is perfect for other shooters. For RPGs and fighting games that use a large number of key combinations, you can take a model with a lot of programmable keys.

High-end gaming keyboards are produced by: Logitech, Mad Catz, Razer, Roccat, SteelSeries.

11. Mouse

The mouse is of great importance for the efficiency in the game. I recommend using a gaming mouse with a rubberized surface and additional side buttons. It does not have to be expensive and belong to a top brand, the main thing is that it be of high quality. For example, great option there will be an A4Tech X7 or Bloody V3 mouse, they are of sufficient quality and are inexpensive.
Mouse A4Tech XL-740K

Such a mouse will provide comfort and precision control in the game. Additional keys will help you quickly put out the fire, saving on an automatic fire extinguisher and perform other most useful actions. But the most important thing is that with such a mouse you will shoot more accurately and pierce the enemy more often!

High-end gaming mice are produced by: Logitech, Mad Catz, Razer, Roccat, SteelSeries.

12. Mouse pad

The mat is another thing that is very important for shooting accuracy. I recommend using an A4Tech X7, Bloody or other gaming brand gaming mat.

On such a mouse pad, the mouse will not slip when you press the fire button, which often leads to a slight cursor shift and non-penetration.
Mouse pad A4 Tech X7-200MP

In addition, such a rug can be washed many times, and if its edges are sheathed, they will not fray.

World of Tanks is not the most demanding game. It runs without problems on weak and medium devices. True than weaker computer for World of Tanks, the more difficult it is to play - constant FPS drops and loading do not allow you to fully enjoy the gameplay.

Buying a computer for World of Tanks is not an easy task. Eyes run wide at the sight of a huge amount of detail needed to run a PC. Yes, and other questions are haunting: to assemble the device with your own hands or take a ready-made one? Buy a computer or laptop to play World of Tanks? Which manufacturer to trust and which not to?

However, the devil is not as scary as he is painted. If you thoroughly approach the solution of each of these issues, you will get the expected result - good performance for an adequate price. Let's try to figure out which computer is best for World of Tanks in 2019.

Computer requirements in Tanki

Although the official computer specifications for World of Tanks are given on the official website (we also have them, see the plate), you should not fully rely on this list. The dry figures that guided the developers when drawing up the requirements for the World of Tanks computer do not always correspond to reality.

Some components from the list are already outdated (that is, they have been discontinued and it is difficult to buy them), others do not fit together, and others are simply listed in bundles in which they cannot reveal their potential. That is why the parameters of the World of Tanks computer indicated in the table can be taken as a basis, become an approximate target designator, but by no means a full-fledged assembly instruction.

And finally, the minimum computer configuration for World of Tanks is indeed the minimum. It is not worth counting on the fact that tanks will "fly" under such conditions. Maximum - 25-35 fps with a ping of 70-80. Since there is no need to talk about the comfort of the game here, we will start from a build that provides at least 40 frames per second.

Minimum system requirements

Parameter	Meaning
Operating system:	Windows 7/8/10
Processor (CPU):	with two or more physical cores, supporting SSE2 technology.
Random access memory (RAM):	2 GB
Video adapter:	NVIDIA GeForce 8600, ATI Radeon HD 4550
Audio card:	compatible with DirectX 9.0c.
	~40 GB

Processor (CPU):	Intel Core i5 (Desktop)
Random access memory (RAM):	4 GB (or more).
Video adapter:	GeForce GTX 660 (2 GB) / Radeon HD 7850 (2 GB)
Audio card:	compatible with DirectX 9.0c.
Free hard disk space:	~40 GB
Internet connection speed:	1024 Kbps or higher (for voice chat to work).

We assemble a computer for World of Tanks on our own

The first thing to learn is one thing: choosing the best computer for WoT is half the battle. Equally important is the Internet. It is necessary to make a stable and fast connection BEFORE buying a gaming device. The minimum speed suitable for a comfortable game is 1024 kbps (1 Mbps). This is not a problem at all, each provider can offer a similar tariff.

Now that you have constant access to the network, you can start choosing and purchasing components for a gaming computer for World of Tanks. The parts market offers a huge selection, from the cheapest to the most expensive parts.

I will make a reservation right away. Since components such as:

sound cards;
network cards;
Corps;
Optical boards.

They do not affect performance in any way, they will not be analyzed in detail. Choose any option, starting from two factors: the budget (frankly Chinese fake still not worth taking) and compatibility with the motherboard.

Cheap Computer for World of Tanks

Let's start assembling:

Motherboard.

The motherboard is the foundation. All other components are attached to it, so you should choose it wisely. Since in the first assembly we are starting from a limited budget, it is better to purchase something from ASUS. This is exactly the case when quite working things are offered for a low price. There are quite a few options, but you should pay attention only to those that support ddr3 RAM sticks (less powerful, but cheaper)

The processor is not a key element of gaming, so you can save on it. It all depends on personal preference, but cheap processors can be divided into two groups:

If everything is really tight.

Pentium from INTEL (2500-3000 rubles) or something from the AMD FX-4300 series

If there is "extra" money

INTEL-CORE I3 or AMD FX-8300. These processors are almost twice as expensive as the ones mentioned above, but they will work accordingly.

video card

A key element in any gaming PC. And, although the tanks are not so demanding, for a full guarantee for a video card, it is worth allocating up to 30 percent of all money. A product from NVIDIA will fit better in an ASUS motherboard. With minimal costs for it (7000 rubles), you can purchase a powerful model with two gigabytes of memory and a decent bitrate.

Since we chose a motherboard with ddr3 support, we need to select the appropriate RAM. In principle, any model will suit, but it is necessary to start from four gigabytes (see the table for the choice of the administration)

cooler

The coolers are quite cheap, but important at the same time. The stronger this element works, the more performance the processor will give out. Any model will do, the main thing is not too big to fit into the case.

Such an assembly for 2019 will cost $300-375 (20-25 thousand rubles), this amount can be accumulated relatively quickly. It is important to buy parts from trusted suppliers, so the computer will last longer. If you still have questions - look at the table (below) or ask in the comments, and we will move on to parsing a more expensive computer.

Medium Gaming Computer for World of Tanks

The concept of "average" means a computer that can really be assembled for $525-680 (35-45 thousand rubles). Again, only the key details for gaming will be considered, so when calculating the total amount, consider the cost of the case, network cards, monitor, etc.

Motherboard.

With an increase in budget, you can start looking at motherboards from MSI, a company that rightfully occupies a leading position in the manufacture of purely gaming components. A good alternative would be the model from ASUS. This time the RAM compatibility should be DDR4.

If you are an Intel fan, then stop at i5. Otherwise, you can consider a product from AMD. Often, at the same price, they show a slightly higher performance, but at the same time they heat up much more (which means you will have to buy a more powerful cooler)

video card

If you use the old and convenient formula of 25-30 percent per video card, you can reach a kind of fork:

Way one.

Take new video card released in 2015-16. The price of hardware is falling quite quickly, so models that were recently considered "top-end" are now available at a very reasonable price.

Way two.

If you are familiar with geeks, ask them to find something of a later release, but used ear. This option can be used only with absolute confidence in the suppliers.

8 gigabytes of capacity and ddr4 type is exactly what will ideally complement the above-mentioned components.

cooler

Its type depends on the processor. We chose AMD - look for a more powerful option, something simpler is also suitable for the brainchild of INTEL.

This build is the optimal computer for World of Tanks in 2019. It will allow the owner not only to play tanks at medium-high settings with a comfortable 60 frames per second, but also to join the gaming world as a whole. Finally, it will be possible to run GTA 5 and other popular games without performance impact.

Top Gaming Computer for World of Tanks

This build is for those who:

A) Has no or almost no restrictions on money;

B) Wants to run games at the highest settings (in the case of tanks, this is also an HD client)

Separately, it should be added that with such an assembly it makes no sense to save several hundred rubles on wiring, a cooler, a case, and other seemingly insignificant details. The computer is price category really should be "top" in everything.

Motherboard.

The most attractive motherboards for avid gamers are offered by three companies: ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte. Each of them does decent things, but it is preferable to stop at the option from ASUS or MSI - these two companies have been working for a long time and managed to show themselves in a positive light

At this level, processors from INTEL outperform their competitors. It is worth getting a newer i7.

video card

It is worth starting from the figure of 8 gigabytes of memory. Video cards that deserve to be called really top ones are produced by NVIDIA Corporation. It is her latest creations that deserve attention.

The highest positions are shared by Kingston, Team Group and Crucial. In general, 16 gigabytes is enough for tanks, but since the motherboard and budget allow, take 32 gigabytes.

cooler

Of course, components operating at high power will heat up. Therefore, it is worth taking a highly efficient cooler.

Once again, I would like to draw attention to the fact that if you prefer a desktop PC, then the parts should be purchased separately. This will allow not only to save money, but also to choose the optimal configuration for your device. If you doubt your abilities, are poorly versed in technology, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the editors' choice.

Laptop for World of Tanks

PCs overtake laptops in every way. For less money, they show better performance, but at the same time, stationary computers have one major drawback - they are not mobile.

If you travel a lot, or are just used to having Internet access at hand, you should stop at laptop computer. Moreover, recently their popularity has grown, which means that manufacturers are trying to expand the range of manufactured devices for all users.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to assemble a laptop from separate components - they are sold only in a completely finished form. Push back when choosing good laptop for World of Tanks is possible only on the popularity of the brand and reviews on the Internet. Well, perhaps a couple of recommendations:

The video card in the laptop should not be integrated.

To put it simply, it must be something from nVidia. Integrated INTEL video cards do not provide proper performance.

The type of hard drive and its size are not critical

It is quite possible to be content with 500 gigabytes.

If you are completely reluctant to choose, rely on the opinion of the administration. We have selected three especially for you. best laptop for World of Tanks from different price categories.

Computer for streaming World of Tanks

Streaming is a rapidly growing activity. It may seem strange, but different levels of tape drives require different computer configurations. Let's see what computers can be for streaming World of Tanks.

For a beginner in this business, it will be enough to have a computer described above as an average gaming computer and a webcam. With this kit, you can start going live and collect subscribers.

If streams gain popularity, then the game kit will have to be seriously improved. Firstly, you need at least two monitors to play simultaneously, chat, control donations and broadcast quality. The "average" will not cope with them, so everything will need to be upgraded completely. The computer designated in the table as a top one will withstand such a load, but it would be nice to have an additional RAM and a video card.

After reading this article, you can safely consider yourself savvy in the field of how to build a computer for World of Tanks. If you have any questions or comments about the content - ask them in the comments. We will gladly help you.

Modernity over the past ten years has made a huge step forward not only in science but also in technology. Millions of people play online games s around the world. It is the monitor that is an important and integral part of each computer, since we are able not only to see the picture of the game, but also want to achieve best quality Images. It is the beautiful world and high-quality graphics of online games, the dynamics of the game itself that draws gamers more and more. And of course you want to enjoy not only the game itself, but also to see an excellent picture in front of you, which high-quality monitors are capable of producing.

How to choose the right monitor

First of all, you need to decide what exactly you need a monitor for, what additional functions you need, and so competently compare the price ratio of the monitor, its size and image quality. The choice of monitors is huge, but not everyone will be able to figure out when choosing a monitor in its types. There are some rules that will help you navigate the world of computer monitors and their types:

- TN - the monitor is great for gaming, but it has poor contrast and color reproduction.

- VA - The monitor has excellent color reproduction and contrast, but is average for motion and viewing angles.

- IPS - the monitor reproduces colors and dynamics of movements with high quality, however, in terms of the contrast of its picture, it will be slightly weaker than monitors of the VA type.

It is with these characteristics in mind that we will consider several of the best monitors for gaming from leading brands, which will certainly help you decide and make an excellent choice according to your requirements and preferences. So the video card will play an important role. Exactly the best card for games, ma was also presented to you in one of our reviews - this is a GeForce GTX 780 video card.

Review of the best monitors for online gaming

As I have already noted, not only the process of the game is important and interesting, but the quality of the picture that is able to convey good monitor. And so let's get started:

Asus VG278HE Monitor - 27"

Just imagine, 27 inches! the whole game world will be at your fingertips. This monitor features 3D visualization and advanced double sided LCD technology. Your visual sensations will simply be delighted and regardless of what is shown: a picture from a game, or it's just watching a movie.

This monitor has technology such as video-intelligence. It is able to fully analyze your actions on the screen during the game and display the picture with excellent accuracy. Perfect for fans of the game World of Warcraft, where the dynamics of movement is just crazy.

When playing in the arena in different setups 3x3, or 5x5, the quality of transferring the dynamics of movements is very important, with which this monitor copes 100 percent. It is when you clearly imagine in the picture which of the players and where it is, it makes the game more colorful and interesting, and also, I think, predetermines the outcome of the fight. And when you see fuzzy image 10 players who are constantly on the move, I think it will be difficult to beat the opponent.

BenQ XL2420TX Monitor - 24"

This monitor will absorb your attention in a matter of seconds of the game. It was developed in collaboration with the world's leading gamers. The manufacturer took into account not only all the preferences of the players, but also introduced the latest modern technologies color reproduction.

Black eQualizer technology - designed specifically for the contrast and color reproduction system. The monitor is able to maintain excellent picture visibility despite dark scenes. Each gamer will be able to adjust the quality of the picture as well as its contrast according to their preferences. What makes this monitor an essential part of any game.
