The Best 24 Inch Monitors For 2020 & 2021
In-depth Review
ASUS ROG Swift PG259QN
ASUS ROG Swift PG259QN
Our number one pick goes to the hugely popular ASUS ROG SWIFT PG259QN – an esports-tailored panel that outshines many of its rivals thanks to its high-end performance and excellent features.
Aesthetically, the ASUS PG259QN seems to tick all the right boxes. It comes equipped with a high-performance AU Optronics IPS panel that delivers excellent colors, viewing angles, and anti-glare capabilities right out the box. This monitor features all the aesthetic hallmarks of ASUS’s ROG SWIFT range, including a stylish two-tone stand, ROG RGB on the rear, and a striking footprint that certainly screams premium.
With that being said, it’s in the performance where this monitor really excels. ASUS has equipped this panel with all the bells and whistles you could want to take your gameplay to the next level. It features a powerful IPS panel that pushed a 360Hz refresh rate, low 1ms response time (GTG), and low input lag for a jitter-free gaming experience. The PG259QN also has full G-Sync capabilities thanks to its built-inG-Sync hardware module. Furthermore, with a 1080p max screen resolution, this monitor will allow you to reach the high frame rates needed to really take advantage of its power. We ran the PG259QN through a number of different performance tests when we reviewed it last summer – and it excelled in almost every area.
The only real downside of this display is the price tag. It’s one of the priciest 24 inch 360Hz monitors you’re likely to come across – and for good reason. If you’re looking to take your gameplay to the next level, this is certainly right up there.
Acer Predator X25
Acer Predator X25
The Acer Predator X25 is another excellent 360Hz monitors, offering many of the same features and benefits that you’ll find in the Predator X25. Alongside this monitor’s superb 360Hz refresh rate, gamers can also expect a 24.5 inch display, 1920 x 1080 screen resolution, and 1ms GTG response time.
As you’d expect, the Predator X25 follows the trademark styling found across most of the Predator range. While the build quality isn’t quite as good as the PG259QN, it still feels incredibly well made.
From a performance standpoint, the Acer Predator X25 is an incredibly responsive monitor that offers a near-perfect viewing experience thanks to the fast 360Hz refresh rate and low 1ms response time it features. It pairs a beautiful IPS panel with a 24.5″ screen size and 1080p screen resolution, resulting in the perfect balance of visual experience and performance. With a fully versatile stand, nice aesthetics, and a tonne of features geared towards the perfect user experience, it’s incredibly hard to knock this monitor from a performance standpoint. Granted, it won’t be for everyone – falling short in the visual clarity department. That said, if you prioritize rapid resp0nse and smooth gameplay, it’s hard to find anything better than this.
BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K
BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K
The ZOWIE XL2546K might be a little outdated now, however, it still offers superb performance to budding esports players on a budget.
As far as aesthetics go, BenQ has kept the XL2546K pretty simplistic – and that’s OK. This monitor isn’t meant to dazzle you with sleek aesthetics, it’s an all-out gaming monitor. While the flappy panels are a little strange in both functionality and design, they still provide excellent immersion and focus when used properly.
Alongside the light-blocking flappy panels, the XL2546K comes equipped with a 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, Black Equalizer feature, multiple display profiling, and G-Sync support. For many esports players, this is the perfect blend of features and specifications. Better still, with a low 1080p screen resolution, gamers have a real chance of maxing out the 240 frames per second required to enjoy the maximum potential of this panel. The black equalizer feature is something that can be adjusted using the display’s control panel and helps reduce the dark areas of a game. A nice feature if you want to boost shadows and dark regions in certain gaming titles.

The AOC C24G2 is a frameless curved gaming monitor that features everything you could want for a budget gaming monitor.
Our top curved selection comes in the form of this gaming monitor from AOC. The C24G2 features a rapid 1ms response time and 144Hz refresh rate to give competitive gamers a superb option at a reasonable price point. The gaming specs don’t end there though, with this monitor also shipping with AMD’s Freesync, VESA compatibility, and a three-year guarantee on zero dead pixels.
The VA display is 1080p and fully HD, giving off excellent colors and providing gamers with great viewing angles – making this more than just a gaming monitor.
Aesthetically speaking, the AOC monitor certainly features one of the nicest designs in this roundup and that is helped by the impressive-looking stand that is built to help you get the perfect height while playing. Its sleek design is characterized by frameless-looking bezels and a very thin profile.
If you’re looking for a small curved display, this is our number one recommendation. Thanks to an abundance of quality features, which include; 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and decent viewing angles, this monitor sails past the competition.
The curvature of the display is 1500R, which is pretty decent for a small display. It adds plenty of immersion to both gaming and general usage – something we’re big fans of. The stand is fairly functional, and the design is both attractive and sleek.
It comes with a modest control panel that allows users to choose through a selection of presets and adjust the picture to their liking.
Philips 246E9QDSB 24″ Frameless Monitor
Philips 246E9QDSB 24″ Frameless Monitor
Finally, we have our budget, all-round pick, and it comes in the shape of the 246E9QDSB from Philips.
When we think of monitors, we don’t usually think of Philips right off the bat. Having said that, this particular monitor showcases some of the best value for money on our guide. It’s been equipped with a 75Hz refresh rate, a full HD IPS panel, FreeSync support, and a 129% sRGB color gamut.
For me, that’s the perfect balance of specs for someone that likes to do some light gaming as a hobby, but also does more creative workflows as well. At a price tag that is currently under $100, you can’t argue with the value either.
The aesthetics are pretty good with this one as well. Thin bezels mean you can easily adapt a dual-monitor setup here – with a metallic stand making the whole image sing.
Ultimately, our best budget 24 inch monitor!
