MSI Modern MD2412PW Business Productivity Monitor Review – 24″ FHD 100Hz IPS Display

Table of Contents

Introduction

The MSI Modern MD2412PW is a 24-inch FHD monitor designed for productivity and entertainment. With its 100Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, and Adaptive-Sync support, this monitor promises a smooth and responsive visual experience. I’ve had the opportunity to test this monitor for several weeks, and I’m eager to share my insights in this comprehensive review.

Features

The MSI Modern MD2412PW boasts an impressive array of features, including:

  • 24-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS display
  • 100Hz refresh rate
  • 1ms (MPRT) response time
  • Adaptive-Sync support
  • Built-in speakers
  • Versatile connectivity options: HDMI, DisplayPort (via Type-C), and headphone jack
  • Height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments

Performance

The MSI Modern MD2412PW delivers a solid performance, particularly for everyday tasks and casual gaming. The 100Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time effectively minimize screen tearing and ghosting, resulting in smooth visuals during fast-paced action. The IPS panel provides wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction, making it suitable for content creation and web browsing.

The monitor’s built-in speakers are adequate for casual listening, but they lack the power and clarity for immersive audio experiences. I found the Type-C port to be incredibly convenient, providing both video output and power delivery to my laptop.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Smooth 100Hz refresh rate for fluid gameplay and everyday use
  • Fast 1ms response time minimizes motion blur
  • IPS panel with excellent viewing angles and color accuracy
  • Adaptive-Sync support for tear-free gaming
  • Convenient Type-C port with power delivery
  • Ergonomic stand with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments

Cons:

  • Built-in speakers are underwhelming
  • Lack of HDR support for limited dynamic range
  • Could benefit from a higher resolution for sharper visuals

Final Verdict

The MSI Modern MD2412PW is a well-rounded monitor that excels in productivity and casual gaming. Its smooth refresh rate, fast response time, and ergonomic stand make it a comfortable and enjoyable experience. While the speakers could be better and HDR support is missing, these limitations don’t significantly detract from the overall value proposition. If you’re looking for a reliable 24-inch monitor with solid performance at an attractive price, the MSI Modern MD2412PW is worth considering.
