Amazing value 💯💥🤑
Very satisfied with this monitor, for the price I got it at ($210). It has very competitive picture quality at this price point and goes beyond with its much denser form factor, leading to uncompromised clarity at most viewing distances. I still think games today are meant to be played at 4K for the intended experience, but if you mainly play competitive games like Fortnite, you will really appreciate this monitor.The color is also fantastic, and to my eye, it is definitely close to a wide color gamut, specifically in the reds, which are more saturated than typical monitors at this price point. The brightness is nearing 400 nits, but I don’t think it quite hits it. Regardless, it’s bright enough for me. The contrast isn’t great and is typical of most IPS monitors. I’d say it’s in the low 900s, so it’s not great for dark content. Paired with a little backlight bleed and IPS glow, it makes dark content undesirable.The coating is matte and only noticeable on plain white screens or when light shines on it. It’s not my favorite coating, and I would prefer something closer to what the LG GP850 has, which is more of a semi-gloss.The motion clarity is very good for an IPS panel, and as someone who has used OLEDs and daily drives an OLED TV, this monitor definitely keeps up for competitive play. I’d say it has roughly a 3.5 to 4 ms response time (I use the “Fast” response setting) and get no noticeable overshoot, even at 60 Hz. Input lag is perfect, and there are no anomalies with increased input lag at lower refresh rates.The build is better than I expected. It’s still all plastic, but it looks very nice, and they even included a joystick (noice). I don’t use the stand, but it’s also great and wouldn’t take up too much space on my desk. The monitor is plug-and-play. I made no adjustments to the colors, and they looked pretty accurate. The user interface is aesthetically pleasing and responsive.I highly recommend this monitor for competitive play. It provides a great balance of picture quality/clarity and speed. The last time monitors like this were available was 2018, and I’ve really missed them. So, I hope these do well, and we can get even higher-end versions.🤞

Stands alone
There are a few minor things about this monitor that bug me, but it’s perfectly usable and the reality is it’s the only decent monitor I could find at this size and resolution. So it almost feels pointless to give it a normal review: if you want a 24 inch 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate, this is that.The included stand is great. It has pitch/roll/yaw as well as height adjustment and it feels very stable. The power supply is an external brick, which is weird but not really a problem. The biggest issue I have with it is the interface; the only control is a joystick/button combo on the back that’s awkward to reach for and slow to use. The on-screen settings menu is the worst I’ve ever seen. Switching inputs seems like it would be the most commonly-used option, but instead there are quick shortcuts to adjust the volume (I guess it has speakers? I can’t get them to work) and to overlay a cheesy red crosshair in the middle of the screen. Options are hidden in confusing categories like “Display”, “Game mode”, and “Other” that keep you guessing where the setting you want actually lives. And as far as I can tell there’s no way to show the current refresh rate (for VRR), something my other cheaper monitor and my TV can both do.The actual display panel seems good. I don’t have equipment to measure color accuracy but it looks sharp, colorful, and bright. Mine has a small grey mark in the top corner that I believe is a defect in the backlight diffuser, but I haven’t found any dead pixels so far. It does have a little bit of that “tunnel” effect at the edges (where you can see the gap between the panel and backlight) but it’s not really noticable unless you’re looking from an angle. Supposedly it supports HDR but there’s no local dimming or anything so I haven’t bothered to test it.I have the same problem another reviewer mentioned where it doesn’t go to sleep properly. Windows thinks it’s turning the display off but it keeps showing a black image with the backlight on. It’s not a huge problem, but slightly more annoying because the power button is hard to reach and has to be held down to power it off.If I had two other similar monitors to compare it to, I suspect this would not be the best one. But I don’t know of any others sold in the U.S. with these exact specs, so all I can really say is that it’s good enough for me.

Best budget monitor
Best 1080p monitor great value plus 165Hz

El monitor es excelente. Lo que más me impresionó es que tiene muy buenos colores para ser un monitor barato. No hay mucho más que pedir solo puedo recomendar otro monitor si quieres mas de 165hz pero para mi ha sido más que suficiente.

Ho acquistato il KOORUI Monitor Gaming da 27 pollici principalmente per le sessioni di gaming e sono rimasto davvero colpito dalla qualità e dalle prestazioni. La risoluzione QHD a 2560×1440 rende ogni dettaglio estremamente nitido, e i colori risultano davvero vividi grazie alla copertura al 100% dello spazio sRGB. È un grande passo avanti rispetto al mio monitor precedente, e non potrei essere più soddisfatto.Aspetti che mi hanno impressionato di più:Frequenza di aggiornamento e tempi di risposta: Con i suoi 144 Hz su HDMI e 170 Hz su DisplayPort, le immagini in movimento risultano fluide e prive di scatti, anche nei giochi più dinamici. Inoltre, il tempo di risposta di 1ms è perfetto per ridurre il ghosting e avere un’esperienza di gioco davvero immersiva.Adaptive Sync: Non ci sono più problemi di tearing o stuttering; l’Adaptive Sync fa un lavoro eccezionale per mantenere le immagini pulite e reattive, anche quando la GPU è sotto stress.Modalità Eye Care: Lavorando molte ore al computer, la funzione di protezione per gli occhi è una manna dal cielo. Lo schermo risulta più rilassante da guardare, anche dopo lunghe sessioni di lavoro o gioco, senza il fastidio dell’affaticamento visivo.HDR 400: Non mi aspettavo una qualità HDR così buona su un monitor a questo prezzo! I colori sono intensi, i neri profondi, e l’esperienza visiva complessiva è davvero migliorata, soprattutto nei giochi con scenari ad alto contrasto o nei film.Design e regolabilità: Adoro il design minimalista e il supporto regolabile in altezza. Grazie al supporto VESA, si può anche montare su un braccio per avere ancora più flessibilità.Conclusione: Se stai cercando un monitor con una resa visiva spettacolare, ideale per il gaming e anche per il lavoro creativo, il KOORUI è sicuramente un’ottima scelta. Ha un rapporto qualità-prezzo eccellente e una serie di funzioni premium difficili da trovare in questa fascia di prezzo.
