Geek deals: 24-inch 1080p Planar monitor for $139.99

Planar PL2410W

Save space and get the quality display that you want… easier said than done, right? There are many routes you can go in in terms of resolution, size, weight, thinness, type, and the list goes on. Do you plan on using your monitor as a general work display, for multimedia, or maybe for gaming? For all the hype around fast response times and contrast ratios, the fact is that the average user is looking for a small- to mid-sized display, they don’t want to spend a lot, and at the end of the day they can’t sniff out the modicum of difference between a monitor with a 2ms response time or a 7ms one. So why pay more?

Thankfully, we found an excellent deal on a reasonably-sized consumer display that won’t break the bank. The Planar 24-inch PL2410W, temporarily reduced from $219.99 to $139.99, has all the necessary specs for a high-quality desktop monitor. This model is a CFL-backlit LCD. It’s not as energy-efficient as an LED model, but it is cheaper.

The Planar PL2410W is 1080p-capable and it does have a wide 16.7 million color gamut. Response time is quite good at 5ms, and you even have the benefit of an adjustable tilt. It has inputs for VGA and DVI-D, but unfortunately, no composite, component, DisplayPort, or HDMI. But, again, this is not a monitor designed for heavy-duty multimedia or editing. If you’re looking to count all 2560 horizontal pixels of your massive 30-inch WQHD display, you’ll need to take your business elsewhere. This is a great deal on an excellent consumer-grade display.
