About this product
The Samsung 24" S3 Essential IPS 100Hz Monitor is an affordable full-HD display aimed at gaming and casual computing. It features a 24-inch IPS LCD panel with 1920x1080 resolution and a 100Hz refresh rate. The monitor includes HDMI and VGA inputs, a widescreen aspect ratio, and is wall-mountable. It also offers a Game Mode for enhanced visuals. Priced at $64.98, it suits budget-conscious users seeking a basic gaming upgrade from standard 60Hz monitors.
Our take
For $65, this Samsung S3 Essential monitor is a no-brainer upgrade if you're still on a 60Hz panel. The 100Hz refresh rate makes browsing and casual gaming noticeably smoother. The IPS panel delivers decent colors and viewing angles for the price, though it's not going to blow anyone away. I appreciate the inclusion of both HDMI and VGA, which makes it compatible with older PCs. However, the 1080p resolution on a 24-inch screen looks crisp enough. Game Mode is a nice touch, but don't expect advanced features like FreeSync. The build feels plasticky, but that's expected at this price. Overall, a solid entry-level option for budget gaming or a secondary monitor.
