LG has unveiled a new monitor targeting budget-conscious users who prioritize high refresh rates. The 24.5-inch 25MS500 model, launched on JD.com for a starting price of 629 yuan (roughly 87 USD), boasts a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and an impressive 100Hz refresh rate.

The monitor offers a brightness of 250 nits and a 5ms response time

This combination of features makes the 25MS500 a compelling option for gamers and general users alike. The 100Hz refresh rate translates to smoother visuals and reduced motion blur, particularly beneficial in fast-paced games or while scrolling through content.

Beyond the core resolution and refresh rate specifications, the 25MS500 offers a brightness of 250 nits, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a 5ms response time (GtG). These specifications ensure decent image quality and performance for everyday tasks and multimedia entertainment. The monitor utilizes an IPS panel, known for providing wide viewing angles and good color reproduction. While the specific color gamut coverage isn’t explicitly stated, the monitor is advertised to cover 72% of the NTSC color gamut, which is sufficient for most everyday uses.
