Monitor Samsung Essential S4 S40GD, 24", IPS, FHD 1920x1080, 100Hz, 5ms, HDMI, DP

Samsung Essential S4 S40GD is a 24" IPS monitor for general use, aimed at a balanced everyday life – work, movies, light gaming, and everything in between. The combination of FHD 1920x1080 resolution and 100 Hz refresh rate provides noticeably smoother motion compared to standard 60 Hz. The IPS panel with wide viewing angles and Anti-Glare coating is convenient if you work long in front of the screen or share content with others. You get LED backlighting and a standard 16:9 format, making it easy to fit into any setup.

What you get

With a 24" diagonal and FHD resolution, you work comfortably in Windows, browser, office applications, and light creative tasks, without struggling with too small text. The IPS panel with 178°/178° viewing angles keeps colors stable, even if you are not sitting directly in the middle – convenient for shared offices or in a multi-monitor configuration. 100 Hz refresh rate and 5 ms response time make the cursor, scrolling, and animations smoother, while casual games look noticeably tighter compared to 60 Hz. The Anti-Glare coating and brightness of 250 cd/m2 help reduce reflections in brighter rooms. Thanks to DisplayPort, 2 x HDMI, and 3.5 mm jack, you can easily connect a PC, laptop, console, and audio without constantly changing cables.
