A new computer monitor enhances productivity and entertainment, but you need to check on specs like resolution, refresh rate, size, and price. These are our favorite 24-inch models.

Screen is a bit dim

No auto-detect for new inputs

The Dell U2415 is an excellently designed, no-nonsense FHD panel ideally suited for office use. The integrated VESA mount offers wall-mounting or multi-monitor display options. The monitor also features a height-adjustable stand up to 115mm, tilt, pivot, and swivel adjustment with built-in cable management solutions.

This panel features a broad 178-degree viewing angle and a flicker-free, LED-backlit display with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and anti-glare technology. While it lacks integrated speakers, the U2415 has one of the most extensive collections of ports we've ever seen. It features HDMI, DP, and Mini DP for display output and 6 USB-A ports for charging peripheral connections and charging.

All these factors come together in a sharp, slim bezel display that's easy on the eyes.

Acer's R240HY IPS 24-inch widescreen monitor is a fantastic choice for buyers who want to see every detail and vivid color at nearly any viewing angle. The 24-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) widescreen has an almost zero frame design, allowing 178-degree viewing angles. The easily adjustable stand tilts from -5 to 15 degrees to find the ideal sightline.

The low price comes at a cost: It's not adjustable. Still, if that's not a deal breaker, you might have found the right bargain.

At first glance, the HP VH240a might be mistaken for a more high-end model. Ideal for an office environment but able to accommodate at-home media consumption or gaming sessions, the budget LCD monitor is an affordable option that still delivers high-quality performance and efficient ergonomics. With a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a 16:9 aspect ratio, your viewing experience will be sharp and precise. The bezel-free device can also accommodate multi-monitor set-ups for the avid multi-tasker. The 60Hz In-Plane Switching (IPS) screen can be tilted 30 degrees and pivoted, and its height can be adjusted to match your workspace design. Remember, this monitor is missing USB ports (handy for charging).

Step into 4K technology with the LG 24UD58-B 24-inch 4K UHD IPS Monitor. The monitor is an easy pick with great color, grayscale contrast, and easy-to-navigate menus. It has an LG ArcLine stand for increased stability and offers detailed, accurate picture quality with 3840 x 2160-pixel resolution. Whether you're using it for work or play, one of the monitor's handiest features is its split-screen mode. This allows you to divvy up the display to complete different tasks by automatically resizing the windows on the screen. For gamers, a dedicated game mode optimizes conditions according to what type of game you are playing (choose from three modes—two FPS and an RTS pre-set mode).

The Planar PCT 2485 Helium is a precise touchscreen monitor with an edge-to-edge glass design for a sleek and slim appearance. The 24-inch display features a 1920 x 1080 resolution with a 10-point simultaneous multitouch capability, making it highly responsive. Though not optimized for gaming—it has a relatively slow response time of about 14 milliseconds—it is well-suited for business environments and is compatible with the newest Windows systems.

The built-in HD webcam and microphone make videoconferences simple. A USB hub and other video inputs, including analog, HDMI, and DisplayPort, connect additional peripherals to upgrade your workspace. To ease long work sessions, the monitor has blue light reduction presets to adjust the amount of emitted blue light depending on the activity, emphasizing comfort. The monitor can be purchased with a dual-hinge or a helium stand and is also available in 22-inch and 27-inch models.

One of the top features to consider when purchasing a monitor is its resolution. While most monitors these days are high-definition (HD), not all are the full 1080p—be sure to check that before you buy. Or you could consider a 4K monitor for the ultimate viewing experience.

While most enjoy vivid colors, graphic artists, videographers, and photographers will want a monitor that accurately displays colors. Get a monitor that receives good reviews in this area if color accuracy is essential to you.

If your computer is running Windows—which incorporates more touchscreen compatibility into its operating system—you might want to consider a monitor that allows you to control your PC with your hands.

Refresh rate refers to the number of frames a monitor is capable of displaying per second, rated in hertz. Generally, higher refresh rates are only critical for motion, like in first-person shooters or action movies. A lower refresh rate is acceptable for a dedicated programming and coding display, especially considering the modern standard is around 60Hz.

If you plan to spend a lot of time parked in front of a display, panel type is essential. Relying on outdated technology like TN (twisted nematic), with its poor color accuracy and abysmal viewing angles, could be uncomfortable for the eyes. It should only be considered when budget restraints make it a necessity. Your target should be at least a VA panel or, ideally, an IPS panel (or perhaps one of its variants) with improved color depth and pixel density.

As in most displays, size is a significant consideration when choosing a resolution (typically, the larger a display, the higher resolution you need to maintain the sharpness of an image). A higher resolution is generally recommended if you'll be working with much text/data or want to game at high resolution. However, for smaller screens, FHD (1080p) is usually sufficient. If you're looking at buying a larger display, 1440p or 4K is a more reasonable target.
