| I bought this for my guest gaming rig, which my young son also uses. It replaced a $99 24" TN Dell Black Friday Special. The 144Hz creates a very sharp and impressive motion, which is as good if not better than my personal monitor, a Pixio PX7. However, the Image Quality is far worse by comparison, with the primary issue being color banding.If you've seen multiple High Refresh Rate monitors before, you'll know that the image quality is all over the place with these. TN Panels are fast and generally inexpensive for what you get, but often have image quality issues, such as banding, gamma shift, poor viewing angles, etc. IPS Panels generally fix much of the Image Quality issues, but cost more and are often worse at handling motion, due to slower pixel response. VA Panels often don't handle motion perfectly, either, but give you a much higher contrast picture.But at under $200 for 24" 1080p 144hz, you can't be too picky. Even expensive monitors aren't perfect, and at this price point, you really have to pick your poison. In my case, I'm using it as a guest/kids monitor, but the banding really kills it, IMHO. I actually ordered a Pixio PX248 Prime to compare and potentially replace this LG. It's $10 less and has the same basic specs, but it's an IPS panel. Even if it's a little worse at motion, the better color, lack of banding, and better viewing angles will probably make it win in my book. I'll report back once I can compare them side by side.
Rated 4 out of 5 by jomad13 from Nice Clean Picture for Home and Work I bought one last year to try out and went back for the second. I use one for home and work on a KVM switch, and the second becomes my 3rd monitor when including work laptop screen. No issues, quick response, like the toggle under the screen. Do not particularly like the cables extend directly back from the screen. Not an issue for my setup, but will see if it becomes a stress point on the input connections. Otherwise, no complaints when running multiple programs include CAD.

The LG 24GL600F input lag performance is top-notch with only ~4ms of delay at 144Hz, which is fit for professional gaming. If you play fast-paced games such as first-person shooters or racing titles, a 144Hz refresh rate is a must as it makes everything run significantly smoother. Moving on, the response time speed of 1ms (GtG) removes all trailing and motion blur of fast-moving objects. You can also use the 1ms Motion Blur Reduction (MBR) technology, which via backlight strobing provides CRT-like motion clarity. This technology, however, introduces flicker, lowers maximum brightness while activated, and can only work at 120Hz or 144Hz. The LG 24GL600F 1080p 144Hz 1ms gaming monitor also supports AMD FreeSync, which provides a variable refresh rate (VRR) if you have a compatible graphics card. FreeSync removes all screen tearing and stuttering as long as your FPS (Frames Per Second) is within the VRR range of 48-144Hz. In case your FPS drops below 48Hz/FPS, AMD LFC (Low Framerate Compensation) kicks in and improves the performance by doubling or tripling the frame rate (for instance – at 40FPS, LFC ups the refresh rate to 80Hz). On the LG UltraGear 24GL600F, AMD FreeSync also works with compatible NVIDIA cards without any issues whatsoever. Note that you cannot use FreeSync and 1ms MBR at the same time on this monitor. Features The LG 24GL600F features an advanced and better-organized OSD (On-Screen Display) menu in comparison to LG’s previous generation displays. At the same time, the navigation is effortless thanks to the joystick that’s placed beneath the bottom bezel of the screen. Gaming features include Black Stabilizer (increases visibility of objects in the dark without overexposing the bright areas), Crosshair (customizable crosshair overlays), Game Mode (pre-calibrated FPS and RTS picture presets, plus two customizable profiles), and Response Time/Overdrive (Off, Normal, Fast, Faster). We recommend using the Fast overdrive option as ‘Faster’ introduces a lot of pixel overshoot. Design & ConnectivityUnlike the LG 24GM79G which has a fully ergonomic design, the LG 24GL600F has a tilt-only stand, but it is VESA mount compatible (100x100mm). Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.2, two HDMI 2.0 ports, and a headphone jack whereas the LG 24GM79G also has two additional USB ports. AMD FreeSync is supported over both DP and HDMI with a 48-144Hz VRR range. Price & Similar MonitorsThe LG 24GL600F price ranges around $180 – $230, which is too expensive considering that you can get the LG 24GN650 at the same price; it’s just as fast, but uses an IPS panel with better colors and wider viewing angles. The 24GL600F is also available with a fully ergonomic stand as the LG 24GL650F for a bit higher price.

ConclusionOverall, the LG 24GL600F is a decent gaming monitor, but there are better options available at this price range.
