24" LG 24GM79G gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review
The LG 24GM79G is a relatively new monitor. The LG 24GM79G has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. In terms of pixel density, the LG 24GM79G has an excellent density of 91 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. For the average response rate, the LG 24GM79G scores 5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. For the extremely fast frame rates, the LG 24GM79G has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The monitor has a VESA mount. The minimum response rate of LG 24GM79G is 1 ms, which is eliminates ghosting effects. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 56 Hz. The monitor uses a TN panel which suffers from color shifting when viewed from horizontal and vertical angles and has slightly washed colors compared to IPS and VA panels. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. For graphics color quality, the LG 24GM79G has an average color depth of 6 -bit, resulting in dithered gradients and more slightly less accurate colors. The brightness of LG 24GM79G is lower than other monitors. LG 24GM79G has a total input lag of 15.5 ms, which is bad among the competition.
LG 24GM79G vs liyama vs GB2488HSU-B3 vs Samsung C24FG70
Hello
I was looking for a monitor with 144hz refresh rate with good image quality to play media at 120hz with Smooth video project,
Can you tell me which one of these has better image?
LG 24GM79G
liyama GB2488HSU-B3
Samsung C24FG70
thanks

But both are the exact same curve so it makes absolutely no sense. The 2 differences I pointed out are the only differences. It's actually better, like any other curved monitor, if you sit up close for more immersion vs a flat screen. Even if you sit a farther, the curve is too small to cause distortion. So in any case, it's better or doesn't make a difference.

Asus VS248HR or LG 24GM79G 24
Hey there! Need a bit of help trying to choose a monitor for a new build I'm doing and I've always got good help from these forums
What I currently have in mind is a cheapish build so far and just need a monitor to finish (well and a graphics card but with prices atm it's either a gtx 1060 3g for about £190 or I'm willing to wait and just use on board graphics.
The cpu I'm going with is an i5 8400, 8gb 2400hz ram, I have an 550w xfx pro psu. I'm not really bothered with an amd or Nvidia card but for obvious reasons in the market getting one for a good price is tricky.
This pc will mainly be used to just play blizzard games (mainly wow) and strategy games (total war etc..)
I'm willing to wait a while for a card but wow is hardly demanding and the new expansion ain't due to September time anyway.
I've heard really good things with the Asus model and I can get it for £116 new, but i have seen the LG (£170) screen and it has the added benefits of 144hz and freesync, if I choose amd card, but on the negative side I've seen quite a few bad user reviews.
Any help in choosing would be great!
Sorry for the long message!

GTX 1060 3GB is plenty for WoW and the rest of their line-up, so I wouldn't necessarily hold yourself back. As long as you get it cheap enough for your comfort, anyway. Other options would be a used GTX970 which would be a bit slower but still get you good 1080p performance.
If you are after high refresh rate, that LG is currently the lowest priced 144hz panel out there.
I also see a lot of lukewarm reviews for the LG. Apparently it isn't selling all that well if they have lowered the price this much. The ASUS is an okay panel, but I don't really like the tilt only displays. It is worth the extra investment for an adjustable stand.
Some alternatives that land somewhere in the middle.
75Hz 1080p monitor (not a very good stand, like the ASUS):
lg 24gm79g unable to get 144hz over HDMI.
According to lg the monitor can do 1920x1080/144hz over HDMI or Displayport. I cannot seem to get over 120hz via two different HDMI 2.0 cables. I have tested the displayport and can get 144hz, unfortunately this cable needs to be used with a different monitor; so i require HDMI to work.
Currently running a MSI AMD 390x with latest drivers and have ensured the correct monitor drivers are installed via LG's support website. Have attempted both custom resolutions in Radeon settings and windows settings but cannot get over 120hz.
Any insights?
Thanks!

According to the manual, the HDMI section only seems to list support up to 1080p 120 Hz. I know the section above that lists up to 144 Hz and is labeled "HDMI/DisplayPort", but I think that might be a mistake and only applies to DisplayPort.

LG 24GM79G-B Not Reaching 144hz
Hello everyone,
So I've installed my new 24GM79G-B monitor using the provided DP-DP cable, but my computer still won't let me choose 1920x1080 @ 144hz as an input. It keeps limiting me to 60hz (i tried to 75hz and it success,but still cannot reach 144hz).
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you.
btw i am using win 10 and gtx1070 for the vga

It's very possible either the input connector on the card or the monitor is faulty. I highly doubt this is a software issue.
Test the monitor on another computer with DP, if stable, suspect the card and try a different monitor on the card with DP to confirm.
I understand you may not have access to all this stuff, but really it's the only way to be sure.
What to Consider Before Buying a Graphics Card
If you have been planning to upgrade your system by purchasing a new graphics card. Then there are some important factors to consider.
Resolution VS Quality: Impact on Game Performance
What affects game performance? Clarity or Details?
Ultra VS High Quality Settings in PC Games
Every player has a different notion about the ideal setting for PC games. But in most cases, opting for a High quality graphics configuration is the way to go.
What are CPU or GPU Bottlenecks?
Are you getting sudden frame drops? you might have a bottleneck.
What is the acceptable FPS speed for me?
For some games, you can still enjoy great garphics at lower frame rates.
