The LG 24GS65F-B is an entry-level 24-inch, 1080p gaming monitor. It's an updated version of the LG 24GN650-B, sitting alongside the 24GS60F-B, which has a different stand, and the 27-inch 27GS65F-B. This monitor has typical gaming features, like a 180Hz refresh rate and FreeSync VRR and G-SYNC compatibility. It has a basic selection of inputs, with DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 ports, but it doesn't have any USB ports. Besides some gaming perks, like crosshairs and a Black Stabilizer, it's limited in extra features, which is typical of cheap monitors like this one.
Our Verdict
The LG 24GS65F is decent for PC gaming. It has a 180Hz refresh rate with FreeSync VRR and G-SYNC compatibility to reduce screen tearing. It has low input lag for a responsive feel, which is great for playing reaction-based games. Motion also looks sharp for the most part at any refresh rate, but there's still some blur behind fast-moving objects. Unfortunately, its biggest downside for gaming is that it has limited picture quality because it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray, and it fails to deliver an impactful HDR experience.
180Hz refresh rate and VRR support.
Consistent response time at any refresh rate.
Low input lag.
Fast-moving objects still have blur.
Low contrast ratio and no local dimming.
Highlights don't pop in HDR.
The LG 24GS65F is disappointing for console gaming. It has limited support with consoles, as it only supports 1080p signals up to 120Hz and 1440p @ 60Hz with a PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. While it has low input lag for a responsive feel and it has a consistently fast response time at any refresh rate, there's still blur with fast-moving objects. Sadly, it has limited picture quality as blacks look gray in dark rooms due to its low contrast ratio, highlights don't pop in HDR, and colors are inaccurate in SDR.

The LG 24GS65F is decent for office use. It's fine if you want to use it in a well-lit room because it has good brightness and its coating reduces glare well, but reflections in sunny rooms are still distracting. Its 24-inch screen isn't big enough to comfortably multitask with two windows open next to each other, but while it has a low 1080p resolution, it still has decent text clarity. It also comes with an ergonomic stand that makes it easy to adjust for yourself, but it lacks swivel adjustment to turn the screen for someone next to you.
Ergonomic stand.
Decent text clarity.
Matte coating reduces glare well.
No swivel adjustment.
Small 24-inch screen.
Not bright enough to fight intense glare.
The LG 24GS65F is okay for content creation. You need to calibrate it to get perfectly accurate colors because it lacks an sRGB mode, so colors are oversaturated before calibration. It has disappointing picture quality, especially in HDR, as blacks look gray and highlights are muted, so it's a bad choice for editing HDR content. You may find its 24-inch screen too small for editing video content, as you won't see much of your video timeline at once. That said, it still has decent image clarity, and it's fine if you want to use it in a room with some lights around, as its coating reduces glare well.
Decent text clarity.
Matte coating reduces glare well.
Low contrast ratio and no local dimming.
No sRGB mode; colors are oversaturated.
Needs full calibration for good accuracy.
Not bright enough to fight intense glare.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We bought and tested the 24-inch LG 24GS65F-B, and the results are only valid for this model. There's also the 24GS60F-B, which should perform the same, but it comes with a different stand. The 27-inch 27GS65F-B is available in some countries outside the United States, but it's a different monitor. You can see the main differences between some UltraGear monitors below.
| Model | Size | Panel Type | Max Refresh Rate | Stand |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24GS50F-B | 24" | VA | 180Hz | Tilt only |
| 24GS60F-B | 24" | IPS | 180Hz | Tilt only |
| 24GS65F-B | 24" | IPS | 180Hz | Tilt, height, and pivot |
| 24GN650-B | 24" | IPS | 144Hz | Tilt, height, and pivot |
| 27GS65F-B | 27" | IPS | 180Hz | Tilt, height, and pivot |
Our unit's label indicates it was manufactured in January 2025 in China.
Popular Monitor Comparisons
The LG 24GS65F-B is an entry-level 1080p gaming monitor that you can get for cheap. It has typical features that you'd expect to find in a gaming display, like a 180Hz refresh rate and VRR support, but it doesn't have high-end perks, like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and it has disappointing picture quality. It's also decent for gaming, as it has low input lag and a consistent response time at any refresh rate, but fast-moving objects still have blur. There isn't anything in particular that makes this monitor stand out against the rest of the market, but it offers solid performance at a cheap price. If you're looking for a basic gaming monitor and you're on a limited budget, there isn't much to knock against it at this price point. That said, you can get other options with higher refresh rates, like with the ViewSonic XG2431, if you're willing to spend just a bit more.

The LG 24GS65F-B and the AOC 24G15N are both cheap gaming monitors with similar specs. While they each have a 24-inch size, 1080p resolution, and 180Hz refresh rate, the main difference is their panel types. The LG has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles, while the VA panel on the AOC has a higher contrast ratio. That said, the LG is better for most gamers as it has significantly better motion handling, without any smearing that the AOC has. The LG also gets brighter, making it the better choice for gaming in a well-lit room.
The ViewSonic XG2431 and the LG 24GS65F-B are both cost-friendly 1080p gaming monitors. The ViewSonic is a bit more well-rounded for gaming because it has a higher 240Hz refresh rate and better overall motion handling. The ViewSonic even has a customizable backlight strobing feature to further improve the appearance of motion, which is something the LG doesn't have. The ViewSonic also has a few extra perks, like a small USB hub.
The Dell G2524H and the LG 24GS65F-B are both entry-level 1080p gaming monitors. The main difference between them is that the Dell has a higher 280Hz refresh rate, so it offers a smoother feel compared to the 180Hz refresh rate on the LG. The Dell also has better overall motion handling than the LG, with less blur behind fast-moving objects. Although the LG supports HDR, which the Dell doesn't, this doesn't make a big difference because the LG has limited picture quality in HDR anyways.
The MSI G274QPF-QD and the LG 24GS65F-B are both cheap gaming monitors, but they have different specs. The MSI has the bigger 27-inch screen with a higher 1440p resolution, so images are more detailed. That said, the lower resolution on the LG requires less bandwidth from your graphics card, and you can reach its max refresh rate over HDMI, unlike on the MSI. Though, the MSI is a bit more versatile overall, as it supports more signals from gaming consoles, and it has a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, which the LG doesn't have.
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, all of which we purchase ourselves, without cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized, custom tools to measure various aspects and deliver objective, data-driven results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance compared to the competition, and whether it's easy to find.
