Designed for fast-paced gaming

The MSI G242LW is a 23.8 inch IPS monitor built for players who want fluid motion in competitive titles. Its 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time keep up with rapid input. AMD FreeSync support matches the panel timing to compatible graphics output. The frameless bezel suits multi-screen arrangements.

Sustained clarity during long sessions

The IPS panel maintains consistent color and contrast across a 178 degree viewing angle, so image quality does not shift when you move. Anti-Flicker and Less Blue Light functions reduce strain during extended play. With 111 percent sRGB and 83 percent DCI-P3 coverage, colors stay vivid without oversaturation. The 1920 by 1080 resolution keeps GPU load manageable for high frame rates.

Lightweight build with essential connectivity

At 6.83 lbs the monitor is easy to reposition on a desk or mount on a compatible arm. Video inputs comprise one HDMI 1.4 port and one DisplayPort 1.2 connection, and an HDMI cable is supplied. The simple two-port layout covers PC and console sources without clutter. No built-in speakers or USB hub are included, so external audio and peripherals are required.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 23.8 inch 144Hz panel draw during an all day session?

The monitor weighs 6.83 lbs and uses an external power adapter, so heat and fan noise stay low even after hours of 144Hz gaming.

Do I need a graphics card with DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 1.4 to hit 144Hz at 1920x1080?

Yes, the panel has one DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 1.4 input; either port can drive the full 144Hz refresh rate at 1920x1080.

Will my older GPU that only does HDMI 1.4 still get 144Hz and FreeSync on this screen?

The HDMI 1.4 port supports 144Hz at 1080p, and FreeSync works over both HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 with compatible AMD cards.
