Warranty is just one year
No budget monitor is perfect, and LG s 24MP88HV-S shows some of the limitations of its low-cost kin: a small screen with modest resolution, a short warranty, and a stand limited to just tilt adjustment. Still, some of its features go beyond the usual budget-panel fare. Its ultra-thin bezels, on all four sides of the screen, make the 24MP88HV-S ($249.99, selling for about $200 online) great for multi-monitor setups. Dual HDMI ports let you keep the monitor connected to a computer plus a gaming console or other video source, and it packs a pair of impactful if fairly low-fidelity speakers. This LG display earns our Editors Choice award as a budget monitor geared toward entertainment consumption and multi-display productivity use.
Samsung's 24-Inch CF396 Curved LED Monitor has the modest port selection and 1080p resolution of a typical under-$200 display, but the panel is bright and vibrant, with some surprising features on call.
The Dell SE2419HR is a solid 24-inch budget IPS monitor for business or home use. It lacks many convenience features found on more expensive displays, but it won't cost you much.
All Specs
Dell s $499.99 UltraSharp 27 Monitor (U2719D) is a well-rounded 1440p productivity monitor for your top workers, especially ones whose job, at least occasionally, involves exacting color work such as processing photos for the web. It has a wide range of comfort features and some useful ports, but its absence of a USB Type-C video input puts it at a slight disadvantage compared with otherwise similar monitors, including one particular model offered by Dell at a comparable price.
A Splash of Style, and Four Ways to Twist
The U2719D is similar in design to that model, the Editors’ Choice-award-winning Dell 27 USB-C Monitor (P2720DC), as well as to many other Dell business monitors from recent years. That means it is both stylish-looking and utilitarian, as well as feature-rich. Factoring in the stand, the monitor measures 15.4 by 24.1 by 7.1 inches (HWD) and weighs 18.8 pounds. The 27-inch in-plane switching (IPS) flat panel has a native resolution of 2,560 by 1,440 pixe
