Is 120Hz worth it on a 1080p monitor?

Yes for desktop use and casual gaming. Motion and scrolling look clearly smoother than 60Hz, though the panel's 5ms native response means fast competitive play still shows some blur.

Does this monitor have built-in speakers?

No. It has a headphone out jack, so you need speakers or headphones connected to your PC or to that output.

Can I use it with a laptop and a console at the same time?

Only one at a time without a switch, since there is a single HDMI port. The VGA input can take an older PC alongside HDMI.

Is the HDR10 support real HDR?

It accepts HDR10 signals, but at 250 cd/m² typical brightness there is no real highlight range. Expect a modest boost, not a true HDR experience.

Is it good for photo or video editing?

It covers everyday color well and has wide viewing angles, but 1080p resolution and limited brightness make it a budget choice rather than a color-critical editing screen.

Does it work with a monitor arm?

Check the VESA pattern before buying. The stand is basic, and many buyers replace it with an arm for height adjustment.

Our take on the LG FHD IPS 120Hz HDR10 Monitor 24-inch

This is a 24-inch 1080p IPS monitor with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10 support and a 1ms motion blur reduction mode. The IPS panel gives wide 178-degree viewing angles and consistent color, which most budget 120Hz screens in this class do not. It suits casual gamers, students and office users who want smooth scrolling and a bright, even picture without paying for a high-refresh gaming panel. Against rivals it trades peak brightness and a single HDMI port for solid color and a legacy VGA input.

What reviewers say

Owners of LG's entry 120Hz IPS screens generally like the smooth motion and even color for the money, and call the stand and ports basic. Brightness and HDR are the most common letdowns.

What people mention

Motion smoothnessPraisedOwners say 120Hz makes scrolling and fast games noticeably smoother than 60Hz.
Color and anglesPraisedThe IPS panel holds color when viewed from the side, which reviewers rate highly at this level.
BrightnessCriticisedReviewers find the panel dim, and HDR content looks washed out rather than punchy.
PortsCriticisedBuyers note the single HDMI input makes switching between a PC and console awkward.
StandMixedThe included stand is stable but offers only limited tilt, so height and swivel are fixed.
