Product Overview

Philips 242E1GAJ is an affordable 24-inch FHD gaming monitor in Philips's 2020 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel with 144 Hz refresh rate.
Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty. It also comes with build-in speakers that make media consumption in a pinch an effortless experience.
In terms of drawbacks, this monitor lacks HDR support and comes with limited adjustments. Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.
