Review on LG 24UD58 B: 24 Inch Monitor with FreeSync, HDMI, and 60Hz Refresh Rate - Best Buy by Craig Nelson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price (with the right cable)

I had a monitor with my old iMac which was fine. When I got a new M1 iMac with a 4.5k display, the monitor looked dark. I looked at the prices and saw that Apple recommended an LG monitor with a Thunderbolt connection, which was expensive. This model appears to have the same specs without the Thunderbolt port, but at a much lower price point. I bought it and used the HDMI USB-C port. It was sharp and crisp, but only ran at 30Hz, making it a bit jumpy. I have a DisplayPort to USB-C cable and it's running at 60Hz now, looks good, no stuttering. Highly recommended, but use Displayport if possible.

Pros
  • Screen control with split screen 2.0. Dimensions without stand (WxHxD): 55.372 cm (21.8) x 6.09 cm (2.4) x 33.27 cm (13.1). With stand (WxHxD) 55.372cm (21.8) x 20.32cm (8.0) x 42.16cm (16.6)
Cons
  • Long waiting
