MSI Pro MP245PG E14 24"

Manufacturer: MSI

The MSI Pro MP245PG E14 24″ is a 23.8-inch IPS monitor built around a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, making it a straightforward option for users who need smooth, responsive visuals in everyday and gaming use alike. It carries a matte, anti-glare panel finish and supports portrait mode, swivel adjustment, tilt, and VESA mounting, giving it reasonable flexibility for different desk setups. Built-in stereo speakers rated at 2 x 2W round out the feature set without adding bulk.

On the color side, the display renders 16.7 million colors at 8-bit depth, with 107% sRGB coverage and 85% Adobe RGB coverage alongside a 1500:1 contrast ratio and 300 nits of typical brightness. Connectivity includes one HDMI 2.0 port, one DisplayPort 1.2 output, a VGA connector, and a 3.5mm audio jack, though there are no USB ports or USB-C. The panel reaches 178° viewing angles both horizontally and vertically, and VESA Adaptive Sync is supported for compatible systems. The monitor measures 539 x 314 x 51mm and weighs 7,510g.

Pros
  • The 144Hz refresh rate combined with a 1ms response time delivers noticeably smooth motion for fast-paced content
  • Wide 178° viewing angles both horizontally and vertically make the image consistent across a broad range of seated positions
  • The stand supports tilt, swivel, and portrait mode rotation, offering meaningful ergonomic flexibility for different setups
  • VESA mount compatibility allows use with third-party arms or wall mounts for more placement options
  • sRGB coverage of 107% alongside color calibration support makes it suitable for color-sensitive work
  • Built-in stereo speakers remove the immediate need for external audio equipment in basic usage scenarios
Cons
  • At 92 ppi, the pixel density is relatively low for a 23.8-inch 1080p panel, which can make fine text and detail appear less sharp up close
  • There are no USB ports of any kind, limiting the monitor's usefulness as a connectivity hub
  • The absence of USB Type-C rules out single-cable setups with modern laptops and devices
  • No ambient light sensor means brightness must be adjusted manually depending on room lighting conditions
  • Picture-in-Picture is not supported, restricting multi-source display options
Who is this for?

This monitor suits users who need a smooth, responsive display for everyday computing and casual gaming, where the 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time provide a tangible improvement over standard 60Hz panels. The wide 178° viewing angles and 107% sRGB coverage also make it a reasonable fit for basic color work and content consumption where accurate, consistent color across the screen matters. Users who value ergonomic flexibility will appreciate the tilt, swivel, portrait mode, and VESA mount support, making it adaptable to a variety of desk configurations and working postures.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on a monitor as a USB hub or docking station will find this display limiting, as it offers no USB ports and no USB Type-C connectivity. The 1920 x 1080 resolution at 23.8 inches yields a pixel density of only 92 ppi, which makes it a poor choice for anyone requiring sharp detail in fine text, photo editing at high magnification, or professional design work where pixel-level clarity is important. Similarly, the lack of Picture-in-Picture support and any wireless connectivity options means it will not satisfy users who need to manage multiple input sources simultaneously or integrate the display into a more connected workspace.
