The MSI G242LW monitor features a 23.8-inch screen with a native 1920x1080 Full HD resolution, delivering a solid pixel density of 92ppi. While its low price might suggest basic features, it actually offers a high 144Hz maximum refresh rate and is FreeSync certified. Like many modern monitors, it also supports G-Sync in compatibility mode. It uses an IPS panel with a 1ms response time, covers 111% of the sRGB color gamut (83% DCI-P3), and provides wide 178-degree viewing angles. For connectivity, it includes both HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort inputs, and an HDMI cable comes in the box.

This display is a great fit for an affordable gaming PC setup. Its 1080p resolution is the perfect match for systems using integrated graphics or less powerful dedicated cards, such as an RTX 5060 or RTX 5060 Ti. In most current games, you can expect to achieve 60 frames per second or higher. A higher-resolution monitor would put more strain on your GPU, potentially resulting in lower, less-smooth frame rates. Additionally, sticking with a 24-inch screen for 1080p is wise, as larger monitors at this resolution have lower pixel density. While this is acceptable for a TV viewed from a distance, on a desktop monitor it can lead to noticeable blurriness, particularly with text.
