LG UltraGear 24GS60F-B 24"

Manufacturer: LG

The LG UltraGear 24GS60F-B is a 24-inch gaming monitor built around an IPS panel with LED backlighting. Aimed at the gaming segment, it delivers a 180Hz refresh rate alongside a 1ms response time, making it a straightforward choice for those prioritizing fluid on-screen motion. The display covers 99% of the sRGB color space and supports both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync adaptive sync technologies, giving it broad compatibility across different GPU setups.

The panel renders at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels at 91 ppi, with a typical brightness of 300 nits and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Color output is rated at 16.7 million colors via an 8-bit panel. Horizontal and vertical viewing angles each reach 178 degrees, and the screen includes an anti-glare coating. On the connectivity side, the monitor offers one HDMI port and one DisplayPort 1.4 output. The stand supports tilt adjustment and the unit is VESA mount compatible, while the overall weight comes in at 5,200g with a thickness of 42mm. Operating power consumption is rated at 17W.

Pros

The 180Hz refresh rate combined with a 1ms response time makes for noticeably smooth and responsive motion during fast gameplay
Adaptive sync support for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync means the monitor works without screen tearing across a wide range of graphics cards
99% sRGB coverage and 16.7 million colors via an 8-bit panel provide solid color accuracy for a gaming display
Wide 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically help maintain consistent image quality from off-center positions
VESA mount support gives flexibility to use a third-party arm or wall mount instead of the included stand
At 17W operating power consumption, the display draws very little energy during use

Cons

The stand lacks swivel movement and portrait mode support, limiting ergonomic adjustment options
There are no USB ports of any kind, so the monitor cannot act as a hub for peripherals
The absence of a 3.5mm audio jack means audio passthrough to headphones or speakers is not possible through the monitor
No built-in speakers are included, requiring a separate audio solution entirely
The EU energy label is rated E, which is among the lower efficiency classifications
Connectivity is limited to a single HDMI port and one DisplayPort 1.4 output, with no USB-C or other alternative input options

Who is this for?

This monitor is a solid fit for competitive and casual PC gamers who prioritize smooth, responsive gameplay at 1080p. The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time are well-suited to fast-paced titles where motion clarity matters, and the dual support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync makes it compatible with a broad range of gaming rigs without tearing or stuttering. Its 99% sRGB coverage also makes it a reasonable choice for users who engage in everyday content consumption or light creative work where accurate color rendering within the standard gamut is sufficient. The VESA mount compatibility adds appeal for those looking to set up a clean, space-efficient desk environment using a monitor arm.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need a versatile connectivity hub will find this monitor limiting, as it offers no USB ports, no USB-C, and no audio output — making it a poor match for workflows that rely on peripheral passthrough or headphone connectivity through the display. The lack of swivel and portrait mode support makes it unsuitable for those who need flexible ergonomic configurations, such as developers or readers who prefer a vertical screen orientation. Additionally, the 1920x1080 resolution at 24 inches may not satisfy users engaged in detail-intensive creative tasks like photo editing or video production, where higher pixel density is typically expected.

Final Verdict

The LG UltraGear 24GS60F-B is a focused 1080p gaming monitor that delivers where it counts for its intended audience. Its 180Hz refresh rate paired with 1ms response time and broad adaptive sync compatibility make it a capable option for gamers seeking fluid, tear-free visuals without GPU brand restrictions. The 99% sRGB coverage adds a degree of color reliability that extends its usefulness beyond pure gaming sessions. That said, its minimal connectivity, absent audio options, and limited stand ergonomics mean it works best as a dedicated display within a more complete desktop setup rather than a do-it-all monitor. For users whose primary focus is responsive gaming at 1080p, the 24GS60F-B covers the essentials competently — those requiring greater flexibility in connectivity or adjustability should weigh those absences carefully before committing.
