LG - 24" IPS LED FHD FreeSync Monitor (HDMI, VGA) - Black

The monitor is Full HD. Full HD or FHD, for some that are unaware simply means a 1920 x 1080 resolution in a 16:9 display. Full HD does not mean you are getting the highest resolution available at the time of production. Actually anything over 640 x 480 is considered HD (high definition), and there are a few different resolutions and ratios in between, so FHD just means that you are not getting one of the lower HD resolutions. 1920 x 1080 still offers great clarity and a wide range of colors. I am including some photos taken with my phone, of the monitor's screen for some reference. I am very aware that there are a lot of the factors involved in how these pictures will look, based on your current screen's settings and capabilities, over the actual camera on my phone (Galaxy Note8). However, I wanted to provide a small reference point to maybe show how nice the image quality is. The monitor is plug and play, but you can download drivers from LG's website. ( I noticed no difference in features or performance by downloading the drivers.) The FreeSync is a great feature for gamers if you have an AMD graphics card. FreeSync - matches frame rates of compatible AMD graphics card, creating smoother game play and no screen lag. With a refresh rate of 75Hz @ 5milliseconds, screen lag should not be an issue for pretty much any game, or graphics card. All the games I played had great response times, and very smooth, clear images. This monitor also has a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and 250 cd/m² brightness, for a wide color gambit, and increased level of clarity.  The viewing angle is actually pretty wide, 178 degrees with the IPS display- (In Plane Switching LCDs offer greater viewing angles over the older matrix LCD monitors, which use to put out restricted viewing angles and degraded colors ) This screen retains it's clarity and colors at pretty much any angle you would want to be viewing at.  Like most computer monitors this does not have any internal speakers, but does have a headphones jack in the back of the display.The control buttons have actually been minimized to a small joystick on the bottom center of the screen. At first I thought that was going to be a bit awkward, but actually works very well, and is pretty easy to find. Assembly was extremely easy. The base comes with a built in screw, that can be tightened with a quarter if need be, to the neck of the stand. Which in turn can be placed into the back of the monitor at an angle( which helps hold the monitor and stand together) while you find the 2 screws and a phillips screwdriver.  The stand does allow the screen to tilt at various angles. If you don't care for the stand, the monitor does have holes for a wall mount. Overall this monitor delivers a great picture for a 1080p display, the clarity and colors are much better than my older monitor(which was only a couple years old).Everything runs smooth and looks very impressive, especially with the low glare display, I love not having as many reflective distractions on the screen! 

First off. YES they are mountable... When I was researching for monitors to set up, this was always the question I needed answered. I have two mounted on a Amazon mount. You don’t even have to do anything because it comes obviously without the stand so you can just grab and mount it from the box. They work great, the visuals are okay nothing too crazy. I don’t use them for gaming so I can’t say about the refresh rate or graphics ect. But for work they flow very smoothly and I use a lot of programs at the same time. It’s HDMI ready, that’s the only cable they bring so make sure your PC has two HDMI PORTS available or you will need a splitter like I used. Or another cable, they do not have sound...you can plug in your headphones directly into the back. This might be common sense but the power button is underneath you push up and it has the setting to connect to HDMI 1 or 2 and or power off ect. I did not know where this button was so lol that’s why I’m including it in here. I assumed it would just plug and play with my PC, no you have to turn it on first.

I'm not biased, but my experience with both TV's and monitors always seems to point to LG as the best images I can find. My home TV is an LG OLED and it is amazing. Same with computer monitors. I've had experience with small to large, and LG wins the shootout with ease. This monitor impressed me from the start, with the fact it included an HDMI cable. And it has a VGA port too. With LG, it is one of the only monitors that still has it, but the best part? It tends to allow full HD through VGA, which is almost unheard of. I've used these LG monitors now for big projects that have CCTV because of this feature alone. As for the picture, it is outstanding. It displays everything perfect from standard web browsing and email, to details of floorpans in AutoCAD, to the smooth flow of games as well. There is an adjustment for reader mode, and I found this went from making my small desktop words looking like pixels, to being really like cohesive lines of text. Amazing. It is an all around decent monitor. I like their on/off, adjustment switch, it is a single joystick type setup vs. the little buttons to go up, down, select. One small thing, could be good or bad depending upon how you look at it, the monitor uses an external power supply. That can be good if the power supply goes bad, you can put in a new one easily vs. if it was internal. The internal ones are easier to plug in but can be a throw away if it goes bad even though the monitor is fine. So, looking for a great monitor, with excellent view angles, decent height and sturdy stand, etc. give this a try. You won't be disappointed and given my experience with so many monitors, for so many computers and video recorders, I can tell you these last way longer than others out there - I have had LG monitors that last so long, they get replaced because the IT folks think they must be worn out after 3 years.

Just what I was looking for for my home office set-up while working at home during Covid. The monitor is nice and big and the included HDMI cable works perfectly with my laptop.

I hesitated to get 24” monitors since I don’t even have that big at my office. But since I’ve had to telework the last month they’ve been amazing!

Pros: -Good colors, not unrealistically over-saturated or washed-out and presets seem to hit the right spots; Love the reader mode preset for night browsing -Games achieve up to 80-85 fps for upper'ish mid-range gaming pc's -Non-glossy, smudge resistant screen; bezels don't bother me like they do other reviewers -Intuitive one button/switch control -Responsive and fast boot-up -Comes with HDMI cable Cons: -Wobbles; you have to get creative to prevent it i.e. taping or tying the base down -The neck is brittle! Cracks started to appear when I tightened the screw under the base! Hopefully it doesn't get worse. Oh and the adjustment hinge feels like it's gonna come loose in the future that may leave the screen looking like it's hanging its head down in shame -Monitor is slanted at it's supposed normal upright level -Came with a cd "manual" but it's useless as there's no actual manual in it just a bunch of pdf regulatory stuff! The settings are confusing and you don't know what you're adjusting outside of the presets -Says go to LG website for manuals but as you can see in the attached pictures here, the model number is non-existent in their manual database! -Annoyingly bulky power brick Would I recommened? Probably yes when the priced drops again. Glad I got this on sale. Will do the job for now. Otherwise, look for similarly spec'd monitors at the price level and range.

I needed two monitors to help get tasks and schoolwork done more efficiently for college. This LG 24" FreeSync Monitor was exactly what I was looking for, and a great value! The display is HD and super high-quality. It's super easy to hook up with its included HDMI cable, and incredibly user-friendly to set up. It even has screws so it can be mounted to a wall if you so desire! For now I use it on my desk and it has been so convenient and has helped me manage tasks with its large screen size! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a second monitor or even a new primary monitor! Best Buy College Crew Members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

Just a little monitor to control my network and Raspberry pi’s. Works fantastically.
