All About 24" Monitors

• How do you measure a computer monitor screen size?

  Monitor screen sizes are measured diagonally from one corner of the display to the opposite corner, typically in inches - for example, 24", 27", or 32". This measurement includes only the screen area, not the bezels or the frame.

• How do you measure the curvature of a monitor screen?

  Curved monitors are measured diagonally from one corner of the display to the opposite corner, just like flat monitors. However, they also have a curvature rating, such as 1000R or 1500R, which indicates the radius of the curve in millimeters. A smaller number means a more pronounced curve.

• What are the benefits of a 24-inch monitor?

  A 24-inch monitor is a versatile option for daily workflow, web browsing, and document editing. If you are looking for general everyday use (surfing the web, online shopping, or some light work), 22-inch to 26-inch monitors are common and suitable for small desks or workspaces.

• Should I get a 24-inch monitor for gaming?

  When choosing the ideal computer monitor size, it's important to consider your gaming style, the types of games you play, and the space available in your gaming setup. Monitors ranging from 22 to 28 inches are ideal for gamers with limited space or those who prefer a more compact setup. While they may not provide the same immersive experience as larger screens, they are practical for setups where space is a priority. For certain game genres like RTS or MOBA, having a more contained view can be beneficial, as it allows players to easily monitor the entire display and make quick, strategic decisions.

• What are benefits of an IPS Panel vs. a VA Panel?

  An IPS (In-Plane Switching) monitor is a type of display panel known for its excellent color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and consistent brightness levels compared to VA Panels. IPS monitors are ideal for tasks like photo editing, graphic design, and content creation, where color accuracy is crucial. VA (Vertical Alignment) panels are a type of display technology known for providing deeper blacks and better contrast ratios. These panels are preferable for tasks like watching movies or gaming, where image depth and contrast are important. Ultimately, the choice between an IPS monitor and a VA monitor depends on your priorities.

• Can I use a 24-inch monitor for content creation?

  While a 24-inch monitor can be useful for those with small desks or workspaces, the mid-size range, from 27 to 32 inches, is ideal for professional tasks such as video editing or graphic design, without taking up large amounts of desk space. For those with space to spare, larger monitors like 34-inch ultrawide or even 49 or 57-inch models can provide a panoramic view. In particular, creative professionals should look at Samsung’s ViewFinity series, a lineup of monitors designed to unlock the potential of business professionals, content creators, and even graphic designers, with technology that brings any vision to life like never before.

• For working from home, is a 24-inch monitor a good choice?

  24-inch to 27-inch monitors are good for compact spaces and focused work. If your desk space is limited, these sizes can keep your space minimal but still give you more space than a typical laptop screen. These PC monitor sizes are perfect for everyday tasks, like email, web browsing, and document editing.

• Should I purchase a 24-inch curved or flat monitor?

  Curved monitors are becoming more common thanks to their engaging experience, wider field of view and reduced distortion. The appeal lies in their ability to create an immersive experience, curving gently around your field of vision for more engaging, comfortable viewing. Flat monitors remain a practical choice for more basic and space-saving setups. Choosing between a curved monitor and a flat monitor comes down to personal preference and usage.

• What is the best resolution for a 24-inch monitor?

  Samsung offers 24-inch monitors with Full HD and Quad HD resolutions.

  • 1920x1080 Full HD is one of the most common modern monitor resolutions and is known by a handful of names: Full HD, FHD, or 1080p.This resolution is widely used for everyday computing, streaming, and gaming, and is suitable for general productivity requiring minimal system resources.
  • 2560x1440 Quad HD (QHD), sometimes but not often called 1440p, provides higher clarity than Full HD. It’s a popular choice for gamers and professionals who need a larger working space without sacrificing sharpness. QHD is often seen as the sweet spot between 1080p and 4K resolutions.

  Ultimately, the best resolution for you depends on factors like the size of your screen, the distance from which you'll be viewing it, and the tasks you'll be performing most frequently.

• Should I get a dual 24-inch monitor setup?

  Dual monitors can offer enhanced multitasking by creating a dedicated workspace for different applications. Meanwhile, a single monitor can offer a more immersive experience. Ultimately, the choice between the two is a matter of preference and what tasks you’ll be performing.
