Overview
The LG 24GS50F is a 23.8-inch UltraGear gaming monitor built around a VA panel with a 3000 : 1 native contrast ratio, noticeably deeper than the 1000 : 1 typical of IPS-class panels in this price range. It runs Full HD 1920 x 1080 at 48-180 Hz with HDR10 signal support, and the Anti-glare/Matte (3H) coating keeps reflections down without sacrificing sharpness. Brightness is a modest 250 cd/m2, adequate for indoor use but not for bright rooms. Connectivity covers 2 x HDMI 2.0, 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 and a 3.5 mm audio output, while the color gamut is quoted at 72% NTSC rather than sRGB, so cross-panel color comparisons aren't straightforward. The stand offers tilt-only adjustment and weighs 3.54 kg with the base attached. Buy it if you want a genuinely fast 180 Hz VA panel with strong native contrast for competitive gaming on a budget; skip it if you need USB-C, height or swivel adjustment, or a display with a verified wide color gamut, since none of those are on offer here.
Key Highlights
- 180 Hz refresh rate for noticeably smoother motion than standard 60-144 Hz panels
- HDR10 support adds highlight punch to compatible content
- 3000 : 1 native contrast ratio, well above typical IPS competitors
- Anti-glare/Matte (3H) coating with a Kensington-lock security slot
Who Should Buy the LG 24GS50F

HDR & Brightness Reality
This panel supports HDR10, which lets it accept an HDR10 signal and apply basic tone-mapping, but with only 250 cd/m² typical brightness and a 3000 : 1 static contrast ratio it can't reproduce the deep blacks or intense highlights that define a true high-end HDR experience. Treat the HDR10 badge as signal compatibility rather than a genuine visual upgrade over SDR content.

Pros & Cons
- 180 Hz refresh rate is genuinely fast for the price point
- HDR10 signal support is a nice extra at this price
- Slim 38.1 mm profile keeps the desk footprint small
- Anti-glare/Matte (3H) coating cuts glare in bright rooms
- Tilt-only stand with no height, pivot or swivel adjustment
- No built-in speakers, so external audio is required
- Colour gamut is quoted in NTSC (72%) rather than sRGB, making direct comparisons harder
- VA panel can show more off-axis colour shift than IPS alternatives
