Walmart’s onn brand keeps pushing into gaming peripherals, and the 24\” 180Hz FreeSync is their most compelling monitor to date. At $99, you get 180Hz, 1ms response, AMD FreeSync, both HDMI and DisplayPort — and a 6-foot HDMI cable thrown in. The value-to-specs ratio is genuinely hard to argue with.
The 1080p panel at 24 inches delivers a sharp pixel density of ~92 PPI — noticeably crisper than 27-inch 1080p monitors. Text is clean, icons are defined, and the screen doesn’t feel crowded at 1920×1080. This is the resolution sweet spot for a 24-inch display.
180Hz at 1ms response is the headliner. In competitive FPS games, the difference between 144Hz and 180Hz is subtle but real — motion is marginally smoother, and the low 1ms response means fast-moving objects stay sharp. FreeSync support handles the variable refresh rate side, keeping visuals tear-free without the microstutter that plagues V-Sync. The HDMI + DisplayPort dual-input setup is a practical bonus for multi-source desk setups.
The trade-off for the price is in the panel quality. The onn 24\” uses a VA panel, which delivers better contrast than IPS (deeper blacks, more punch in dark scenes) but can show motion smearing on very fast transitions. Viewing angles are narrower than IPS — colors start to shift if you’re far off-axis. For a single-person desk setup, this isn’t a problem. For creative or design work where color accuracy matters, this isn’t the right panel type.
Build quality is honest budget — plastic body, minimal stand (tilt only), no built-in speakers, no USB hub. The included HDMI cable is a thoughtful touch. Setup is dead simple.
Verdict
If 180Hz gaming performance is your main goal and you’re buying a 24-inch monitor, the onn gets the job done at a price that makes the competition nervous. Not a design tool, but a legitimate gaming monitor that doesn’t cut corners on the specs that matter for competitive play.
