How screen size is measured
Monitor size always refers to the diagonal measurement of the visible screen, not including the bezel around the edge. The actual width and height depend on the aspect ratio; a 24-inch monitor in the common 16:9 widescreen ratio has different proportions than a 24-inch monitor in the older 4:3 or newer 16:10 ratios.
Common resolutions at 24 inches
| Resolution | Name | Pixels per inch |
|---|---|---|
| 1920 x 1080 | Full HD | 92 |
| 2560 x 1440 | QHD | 122 |
1920 x 1080 (Full HD) is by far the most common resolution at this size, offering a good balance of sharpness and affordability. QHD panels at 24 inches exist but are less common, since the higher pixel density benefits are more noticeable at larger screen sizes.
Monitor size comparison
| Size | Width (in) | Height (in) | Common use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 inch | 20.9 | 11.8 | Office work, budget gaming |
| 27 inch | 23.5 | 13.2 | General use, gaming |
| 32 inch | 27.9 | 15.7 | Creative work, larger desks |
A 24-inch monitor is the most compact of the common desktop sizes, fitting well on smaller desks or in dual-monitor setups where two screens need to sit side by side without eating too much desk width.
Desk space and viewing distance
A 24-inch monitor works well at a viewing distance of about 20 to 28 inches, roughly a typical arm’s length from the seated position at a desk. This size fits comfortably on desks as narrow as 24 inches deep, and two 24-inch monitors side by side require about 42 inches of desk width including stands.
