MSI Modern MD2412PW 24" IPS Full HD 100Hz 1ms USB-C Height Adjustable Monitor

The feature that earns this monitor genuine consideration is its USB-C connectivity combined with height adjustability at this price point — a combination that rarely appears together below £100. For anyone running a laptop-centred setup, a single USB-C cable can carry both the display signal and charge your device simultaneously, cutting desk clutter without requiring a separate dock. That's a practical problem solved for a specific kind of user, not a specification that sounds impressive but goes unused.

Who Is This For?

This monitor suits hybrid workers or students who shuttle between home and office with a USB-C laptop — think MacBook Air users or anyone on a modern Dell or Lenovo ultrabook — who need a secondary screen that sets up quickly and sits comfortably at eye level without a riser book underneath it. The 100Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make it tolerably smooth for casual gaming, though anyone serious about competitive play or colour-accurate creative work should spend considerably more and look elsewhere.

What Buyers Say

Owners of MSI's Modern monitor range consistently praise the IPS panel's colour accuracy for everyday document and web work, noting that whites stay clean and text remains sharp across the screen — important for long reading sessions. The height-adjustable stand receives specific praise for build quality that feels sturdier than rivals at similar prices. The most repeated limitation is brightness: in rooms with strong natural light, the panel can feel underpowered, and there's no HDR capability worth mentioning despite what the specification sheet might imply.

The Deal

At £79.00, reduced from £129.00, you're saving £50 — a 39% reduction that looks compelling on paper. However, this product is newly tracked on our system, meaning we have no price history to confirm whether £129.00 was a genuine sustained retail price or an inflated anchor figure used to make the discount appear larger than it is. Watch it for a fortnight before committing — if the price holds at £79.00, it's a genuinely fair deal for what's on offer.
