Resolution - The number of pixels in a screen this will greatly affect the picture quality. If you're a gamer and wants to see every details of the game a high resolution monitor is a must (plus good GPU).

Size - Will depend on the build you want: multiple monitors or single big monitor. Monitor size are measured diagonally.

The design can easily match various builds and themes for everyday use. Gaming, streaming, and image/video editing in this monitor is quite excellent because of the great picture and color display. We have used this type of monitor when we play on a gaming shop at u-belt area near Recto and the experience is good. Other than desktop PC we also used it on a PS3 console which is nice. If you're planning to build a desktop with high end graphics card like GTX 1080Ti go for a higher resolution monitors though its good for gaming it may not deliver the full potential of high powered GPUs. Last, it's good for the price and for professional use.

In this list LG 23MP68VQ has the best value for money at 7400 PHP. If your looking for upgrade at this price range go for this monitor. There are good reviews in this monitor especially gamers playing first person shooting games like CS-GO, Call of Duty, and OverWatch because of the Black Stabilizer which allows better visibility on dark scenes and if you have AMD GPUs it has AMD FreeSync™ that eliminates tearing from the low frame rate and also screen stuttering as connecting HDMI port. All of these bring that you can enjoy and immerse in game play according to LG's website. I'm not a fan of the arc stand but its just the stand compared to the value for money for the monitor.
