Monitor Asrock CL25FF, 24.5", IPS, FHD 1920x1080, 100Hz, 1ms, AMD FreeSync, HDMI, VGA

Asrock CL25FF is a 24.5" IPS monitor, aimed at gaming and general use, with a nice balance between price and capabilities. The combination of FHD 1920 x 1080 resolution and 100 Hz refresh rate makes it noticeably smoother than standard office models. 1 ms response time helps reduce blurring in dynamic scenes, while the Anti-Glare coating protects against annoying reflections. The IPS panel with wide viewing angles is a plus if you often change your position in front of the screen or share it with others.

What you get

With a 24.5" diagonal and 1920 x 1080 resolution, the pixel size of 0.2832 mm provides a clear enough picture for gaming, movies, and everyday work, without small text straining your eyes. 100 Hz refresh rate means smoother motion compared to 60 Hz, which is immediately felt in fast games and even when scrolling in a browser. 1 ms response time is an important plus for shooters and action games, where image blurring is most annoying. The brightness of 300 cd/m² is more than sufficient for a normal room with daylight, while the static contrast of 1300:1 helps better separate light and dark scenes. Thanks to the IPS panel and 178°/178° viewing angles, colors and contrast remain stable, even if you are not directly in front of the screen.

• 24.5" diagonal is a very good size for a desk, combining a sufficiently large image for games and movies with compactness for smaller spaces.
• IPS panel provides better colors and stable images at wide angles, which is convenient for shared screens or multimedia.
• FHD 1920 x 1080 resolution is standard for gaming and office work, easy to run from mainstream GPU configurations.
• 100 Hz refresh rate makes motion smoother and more responsive, especially noticeable in shooters and dynamic games.
• 1 ms response time helps reduce motion blur and ghosting with fast-moving objects.
• Anti-Glare coating reduces reflections and glare, which is a plus if the monitor is placed near a window or strong lamp.
• Brightness 300 cd/m² and static contrast 1300:1 provide decent image depth for movies, games, and daytime work.

Who it is suitable for

This monitor is suitable if you are looking for an affordable solution for gaming and general use with smoother motion than standard 60 Hz models. It is a good choice for a 1080p configuration, where even a mid-range GPU can maintain high frame rates. If you are aiming for a highly competitive e-sports setup or a higher resolution like 1440p, there are higher-end options, but they also come with a higher budget.

The most sensible aspect of this model is the combination of IPS panel, 100 Hz, 1 ms and 24.5" FHD format – a sufficiently fast and pleasant-to-the-eye monitor that covers both gaming and everyday work without unnecessary extras.
