Rank #6 in Best 24 Inch Monitor 2026: 10 Ranked, and Three Numbers That Don't Add Up
Acer EK241YG 24-Inch 120Hz IPS Monitor
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Acer EK241YG is a 23.8-inch Full HD monitor listed at £69.90, ranked sixth in this guide. Its headline number is the one that survives inspection. The 120Hz in the title is repeated in the "120Hz REFRESH RATE" bullet and again in the Refresh Rate field of the spec table, and 1920 x 1080 appears as Full HD, FHD 1080p, Maximum Display Resolution 1920 x 1080 Pixels and Native Resolution without any of them disagreeing. At 1500:1 the contrast ratio sits at the top of the 1000:1 to 1500:1 band the IPS screens in this batch occupy, so it needs no footnote either. The listing carries 163 ratings at 4.6, and the star breakdown shown runs to 100 of them, 77 of which are five-star.
Two fields on the same listing are less settled. The bullet calls the EK241YG an IPS Panel while the spec table's Display Type field says LED. The Viewing Angle field reads 25 Degrees, which sits oddly against a panel the bullets describe as IPS. The title also says 24 inch where the Screen Size field says 23.8 Inches, and one reviewer reports finding only a single HDMI connector on the back where the spec table lists HDMI and VGA. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the Acer EK241YG; we have not tested the monitor.
How those 163 ratings break down

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I've been using the Acer EK241YG 24-inch Full HD monitor and it's a great option for the price.The 1080p display looks clear and works well for both gaming and general use like browsing or work. It's a good size at 24 inches and fits nicely on a desk without taking up too much space.Pros:• Good image quality for 1080p• Ideal size for most setups• Great value for moneyCons:• Nothing major at this price pointOverall, a solid budget monitor that works well for both gaming and productivity.”
Verified purchase“Would not recommend. No where on the page does it say the monitor has no speakers, this is 2026 why on earth does a screen not come with a speaker built into it? And to add to that there is literally only a HDMI port connector on the back so you can even connect one too it. Useless and waste of money.”
