Overview
The LG 24MS500 is a 23.8-inch IPS monitor built around a 250 cd/m2 panel tuned more for everyday and office use than for high-refresh gaming. It runs Full HD 1920 x 1080 at 48 Hz - 100 Hz though it skips HDR certification entirely. Brightness is rated at 250 cd/m2 with a 1000 : 1 static contrast ratio, and the Anti-glare/Matte (3H) coating keeps reflections down. Colour gamut is quoted at 72% NTSC rather than sRGB, so cross-panel comparisons aren't straightforward. Connectivity is 1 x HDMI 1.4, 1 x 3.5 mm Audio Out, and the stand offers tilt-only adjustment at 2.6 kg. Buy it if you just need a reliable, well-priced 23.8-inch 1080p display for work, browsing, and light gaming; skip it if fast refresh rates or wide color coverage are the priority, since this panel is built for value rather than speed.

Who Should Buy the LG 24MS500
+ Best For
Budget-conscious office and study setups that just need a clean 23.8-inch display
Anyone upgrading from an older 1080p panel who wants a 100 Hz refresh ceiling
× Not Ideal For
Colour-critical photo or video editing, since gamut is quoted at 72% NTSC rather than a verified sRGB figure
Anyone who needs height, pivot or swivel adjustment, since the stand here is tilt-only
Competitive gamers chasing the highest possible refresh rate, since this panel tops out below 144 Hz
Anyone wanting built-in sound, since no internal speakers are listed for this model

HDR & Brightness Reality
The 24MS500 does not carry any HDR certification. Its 250 cd/m² typical brightness and 1000 : 1 static contrast sit well below what's needed for a meaningful HDR image, so content will play back in standard dynamic range regardless of what a source device offers. If HDR video is a priority, look elsewhere in this lineup at a model that specifically lists HDR10 support.

Real-World Use Cases

A straightforward step up from an older 1080p 60 Hz display
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Slim 55.8 mm profile keeps the desk footprint small

- No built-in speakers, so external audio is required
- Colour gamut is quoted in NTSC (72%) rather than sRGB, making direct comparisons harder
