If you’re looking to pick up an inexpensive everyday monitor with a fast 100Hz refresh rate, you’ve come to the right place. Best Buy’s currently selling the LG 24MR400-B.AUSQ monitor for just $79.99, which is a savings of $90 off the usual price. According to reviews on Best Buy, the image quality is quite good for the low price and the 100Hz refresh rate makes videos appear buttery smooth. It also has AMD FreeSync, which reduces screen tearing while gaming by syncing up the monitor’s refresh rate with your PC’s GPU.
The 24-inch LG monitor features a resolution of 1920×1080, a refresh rate of 100Hz, and a response time of 5ms. The resolution is plenty sharp for everyday tasks like checking e-mail, Office work, and browsing social media, and the combination of the refresh rate and response time means that it should be able to handle some gameplay. As for ports, it has one HDMI and one VGA. As an IPS display, it also has a viewing angle of 178 degrees to go with a crisp, colorful picture.
More monitors make everything better, and this would also be a great multi-monitor candidate given the price and specs. Don’t miss out!
