24 Inch Monitors

24 Inch Monitors Buying Guide

A 24 inch monitor fits a standard office desk, a compact home workstation, or a two-screen setup without crowding the space. Office lines from Dell, HP, and Lenovo all come in this size, with choices from budget-friendly basics to webcam, touch, and USB-C docking models.

Which Resolution Is Best for a 24 Inch Monitor?

1080p is the natural match at this size. Text stays crisp at about 92 pixels per inch, it costs the least, and laptops and office PCs drive it with ease, which is why it covers email, documents, browsing, and point-of-sale counters so well. Browse more 1080p monitors.

For color work, a 4K ViewSonic ColorPro model packs far more detail into the same frame, with Pantone validation for accurate photos and brand colors.

16:9 or 16:10: Which Shape Do You Need?

A 16:9 screen is the standard for video and games. A 16:10 screen runs at 1920 x 1200, which adds 120 pixels of height, about 11 percent more room top to bottom, so you see more lines of a document, spreadsheet, or code without scrolling. The ASUS ProArt PA248QV pairs that taller 16:10 IPS panel with factory color calibration, so photos and brand colors look right out of the box.

24 Inch Monitors for Office Work

Office models add the features that keep a workday smooth. Want a cleaner desk? A USB-C monitor carries video and data over one cable, and docking models add an Ethernet port. Built-in webcams handle video calls without clipping a camera on top, and touchscreen models suit front desks, kiosks, and shared stations. Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny-in-One models go a step further, with a slot on the back that holds a Lenovo Tiny desktop and turns the screen into an all-in-one PC.

The Dell UltraSharp U2424H shows what a business screen should do: a 1080p IPS panel at 120Hz, ComfortView Plus to cut blue light, and a stand that adjusts for height, tilt, swivel, and pivot. Dell Pro, HP Series 5 and 7, and Lenovo ThinkVision fill out the office lineup, and Acer Vero models are built with recycled plastics. Two 24 inch screens fit side by side in about 42 inches of desk width.

24 Inch Gaming Monitors

Gaming at 24 inches is built around speed. At 1080p your PC has far fewer pixels to draw than at 1440p or 4K, so it can turn out the frame rates that fast screens need, and gaming models at this size run from 144Hz up to 240Hz and beyond without calling for a high-end build. Competitive players can step up to 240Hz gaming monitors, and every size sits in our gaming monitors.

24 Inch Monitor FAQs

Can a 24 inch monitor be 2K?

Yes. 1440p models from Dell, Lenovo, and ViewSonic fit more on screen at about 122 pixels per inch, so text looks sharper than at 1080p and windows have more room. They suit spreadsheets and design work on a smaller desk. Compare more 1440p monitors.

Is 24 inches a good size for a gaming monitor?

Yes, especially if you play at 1080p. At this size 1080p still looks sharp, while the same 1920 x 1080 pixels spread across a 27 inch screen look softer, so you get a crisp picture and high frame rates together. For single-player games where a bigger picture matters more than speed, a 27 inch monitor pulls you further into the scene.
