24 Inch Monitors

The 24 inch monitors here, 23.8 to 24.1 inch panels from BenQ, MSI and HP, run from the HP Series 3 Pro 324PB, a Full HD 75 Hz IPS office screen, through 100 to 180 Hz models such as the BenQ GW2490, MSI Modern MD2412P and MSI G244F E2, up to the BenQ ZOWIE esports range: XL2566X+ at 400 Hz, XL2586X at 540 Hz and XL2586X+ at 600 Hz. For colour work there are the BenQ SW240 (WUXGA) and SW242Q (2K, 99% Adobe RGB). BenQ, MSI and HP each cover their monitors with a 3 year warranty.

For office and study, a 100 or 120 Hz Full HD IPS model is enough: the BenQ GW2491P, HP Series 5 524SF or MSI PRO MP2412. The MSI Modern MD2412PW adds USB-C for laptops. For gaming, the 180 Hz MSI G244F E2 and G2422C have DisplayPort. The TN ZOWIE models suit competitive esports rather than films or photo editing. Check ports too: several HP Series 5 and Series 3 Pro models come with HDMI 1.4 and VGA, while the 324PB also has DisplayPort 1.2. The IPS, VA and TN panel filters, and the BenQ, MSI and HP 24 inch pages, narrow the list.

Is a 23.8 inch monitor the same as 24 inch? Yes. Most 24 inch monitors measure 23.8 inch of visible screen, and the ZOWIE XL2586X+ measures 24.1 inch.

IPS, VA or TN at 24 inch? IPS gives wide viewing angles and accurate colour, VA gives higher contrast (3000:1 on the HP 324PV), and TN is used for the fastest ZOWIE esports screens.
