Insignia™ - 24" Class IPS FHD 144Hz Monitor with AMD FreeSync (HDMI, VGA) - Black

Low key HD office monitor that works surprisingly well for gaming. You can be forgiven for under estimating this monitor because of the value price point and limited inputs (1x HDMI, 1xVGA). But with a bright IPS screen, 144Hz refresh rate, adjustable blue light, and anti-glare matte screen, it’s a pleasure to use both for office work and Forza. It’s also well built with a rigid black frame that should hold up well to years of being relocated like only a monitor can. The stand offers adjustable viewing angles, but that’s about it for physical adjustability. There’s a little joystick in the rear to adjust the picture settings, which is also where you can adjust the level of blue light the display outputs. As a no frills office monitor, it’s outstanding. It’s bright enough to work in a room full of windows and the matte screen does a wonderful job reducing glare. As a gaming monitor, the 144Hz refresh rate does a good job at keeping up and while it’s not listed, it also seems to work fine with NVIDIA’s G-Sync. I was also impressed by the black levels while playing Gears of War: E Day. It’s a visually dark game, so it was great to see deep shades of black while still being able to tell things apart. Whether it’s for the house or office, the Insignia 24” IPS monitor is a solid, no frills performer at an excellent price point. The bright anti-glare screen and wide viewing angle are handy for group work, and the 144Hz refresh rate helps keep the action smooth. I highly recommend it as a general use monitor and it’s a great area to save some cash without skimping hard on performance.

Insignia 24in LED 144hz Monitor Excellent screen with an anti-glare matte finish. It is a great all-around monitor meeting the needs of the workspace, beginner and moderate content creation, and the occasional gamer, giving you plenty of features in each of these areas. At this value, there are only two options for Display Input, HDMI and VGA, so if you repurposed an old desktop as a NAS or Home Media Server with the decades long standard VGA, you're covered! Playing Need For Speed: Unbound ran excellent in all of the different lighting settings you experience during gameplay. Unpacked, the screen is set to WARM, in the Color setting. You get NORMAL, COOL, and USER which lets you customize it to your liking and Standard in the Picture settings. There are a lot of presets here, plus a USER option. Of course, in both Picture and Color settings menus, all of the settings can be changed, not just the USER profile. Including an HDMI cable is a nice touch, and the included Quick Setup Guide has a screenshot of each of the settings and its options. Curiously, one specification was missing from both the Quick Setup Guide and the BestBuy product page...VESA Mount size; which I measured to be 100x100. I am planning on using this monitor in portrait mode as a teleprompter because it has excellent anti-glare, but there are a lot of other uses. Pairing it with a media streamer, can easily turn this into a Smart monitor, just make sure there is an option to pair Bluetooth speakers as the Insignia does not handle audio over HDMI and does not have a 3.5mm/AUX out port. Overall if you are looking for an economical computer monitor, this Insignia definitely meets that requirement and punches above its weight with 144hz refresh rate and AMD Freesync.

I wanted a third monitor for a home office work set up and I did not want to break the bank. The Insignia 24” filled the bill and then some. First off the screen is really beautiful for it’s class! It is bright and vibrant. I did not expect that but when I set it up and compared it to the two other monitors it really looks great (see pic – the Insignia is on the far left looking at the pic). Speaking of set up, super easy. The unit itself is sleek and has a low profile. I will not be using it for gaming but you for sure could with the FreeSync. 60 to 100hz is kind of the standard so 144mh the insignia carries is very respectable. If you really want to set up a gaming rig, I’m sure you already know that 240-360 hz is the bench mark… But I digress. I also really appreciated the low blue light tech as well. Anything that eases eye strain the better. Overall, You can’t go wrong with this monitor. It looks great with a bright clear screen and is very versatile. They even throw in the cables! I have no complaints. Note: It cannot flip vertically if that’s important to you.

It took no more than five minutes to have this monitor out of the box, on the desk and, and in full operation. The box contains the full instructions on how to unpack the monitor, assemble and install the base, and set up the monitor on your computer. Don't be intimidated by the base assembly. It screwing in two small Phillips head screws. The base then snaps onto the back of the screen. My particular desktop set up severely needed a refresh as the monitor that would be replaced was aging. No more VGA connector needed. An HDMI cable was in the box. The monitor is light and very simple to move around. The picture is crisp and clear, and the blue light technology is said to reduce eye strain. The 24 inch FHD monitor offers 1920 X 1080p resolution. The monitor is a pleasure to use. For office work, this monitor is absolutely all you need. It is a cost effective and economical way to improve your everyday work product and experience. I am greatly enjoying the experience and highly recommend it.

I didn't expect this monitor to work as good as it has. Very clear picture and it's everything and more than I could have expected. I would strongly recommend this item as a first or second, which is what I got it for. I needed a second screen for my pc, and I definitely made the right choice for my needs.
