LG 24MP60G-B 24" Black 2021
The 24-inch IPS panel with a 75Hz refresh rate and 1ms Motion Blur Reduction delivers fluid visuals that stand out in this budget class. Its 3-side virtually borderless design and VESA compatibility add a modern, space-saving flexibility rarely found at this price point. This monitor is best for home office users and students who want smooth scrolling and a clean multi-monitor setup for productivity, not color-critical creative work.

The 30-Second Version
A boring but reliable budget monitor that does the job for office work. Don't expect it to impress anyone, including yourself.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- IPS panel with decent viewing angles
- 75Hz refresh rate beats standard 60Hz
- VESA mount support for easy arm mounting
- Lightweight at just over 3.3kg
Cons
- Color coverage is weak at 72% NTSC
- 250 nits brightness is dim for bright rooms
- Only tilt adjustment, no height or swivel
- Feature set is bare bones
The proof
Performance
The 75Hz refresh rate is a small but real step up from the standard 60Hz, and FreeSync keeps things smooth enough for casual gaming. But the 5ms response time and 250 nits brightness put it firmly in the middle of the pack. The 1ms MBR claim is marketing fluff, that's a backlight strobing trick, not true pixel response. For office work and web browsing, it's totally fine. For anything demanding, it's underwhelming.

vs Competition
Stacked against the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMG or the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2, this LG looks like a toy. Those are OLED gaming monsters with high refresh rates and stunning color. But they also cost several times more. The Samsung Odyssey G7 G75F is the more interesting comparison for budget buyers, it offers a curved VA panel with much better contrast, though it's pricier. The LG wins on simplicity and price, nothing else.

Price
Value & Pricing
At CAD 200, this is a fair deal for a basic IPS monitor. You're not getting ripped off, but you're not getting a steal either. If you just need a reliable screen for documents, email, and the occasional YouTube video, it's a sensible buy. If you want anything more, save your money for something better.

Overview
The LG 24MP60G-B is a budget 24-inch IPS monitor that nails the basics and skips everything else. It's the monitor you buy when you need a second screen for spreadsheets, not the one you brag about. The one thing to know: it's a perfectly fine office display at a price that won't make your wallet wince, but it's not winning any awards for color or speed.
Common Questions
Q: Is this monitor good for gaming?
For casual gaming, sure. The 75Hz refresh rate and FreeSync help a bit. But with a 5ms response time and no HDR, it's not built for competitive play. If you're serious about gaming, get something with 144Hz or higher.
Q: Can I mount this on a monitor arm?
Yes, it has a standard VESA 75x75 mount. The monitor is light at 3.3kg, so most arms will handle it easily.
Q: Is the color accuracy good enough for photo editing?
No. With only 72% NTSC coverage, this panel can't display the full sRGB gamut accurately. If you're editing photos or doing design work, you'll want a monitor with better color coverage, ideally 99% sRGB or higher.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for vibrant colors, high refresh rates, or HDR support, this isn't it. Go get a proper gaming monitor like the Samsung Odyssey G7 or a color-accurate display like the BenQ MA270U instead. This LG is for spreadsheets and Slack, not for stunning visuals.
Verdict
The LG 24MP60G-B is a no-frills workhorse for people who need a basic monitor and don't want to think about it. It's not exciting, it's not fast, and the color is mediocre. But it's cheap, it works, and it won't let you down for everyday office tasks. If that's all you need, go for it. If you want to game seriously or do color-sensitive work, look elsewhere.
