Top-class gaming monitors need not be expensive, even those with relatively fast refresh rates. As proof, Samsung's C24RG50 is a 24-inch display with a curved VA screen and 144 Hz refresh rate.

This is the price after applying coupon code 93XQS34 at checkout. The price is currently reduced from $199.99 to $179.99, and the promotional code saves an additional $20, making it $40 off the list price. This double discount makes it one of the least expensive monitors in its class (inexpensive 24" models typically have refresh rates of 60Hz or 75Hz).

The focus here is primarily on speed; being a 1080p display, it is more advantageous to take advantage of the 144Hz refresh rate than to try to pull triple-digit frame rates from a 1440p or 4K monitor. This could be an important factor, as you will probably continue to use your current graphics card for a bit.

Samsung has set the brightness at 250 nits. This is a fairly average value, but the model is not pushing HDR visuals.

Other features include a 4ms response time (gray to gray), a 3,000:1 contrast ratio with VA technology, which is cheaper than IPS and better than TN, and 178-degree viewing angles (horizontal and vertical). Connectors include HDMI 1.4 input and DisplayPort 1.2 input.
