Thanks for commenting. Yea, unfortunately prices have gone way up after I made the video. I still see this monitor for $100 on Amazon today which is still a good price. Hopefully prices come back down to normal.
I know how that feels. I tried playing on a TV recently and it's just not the same. Especially if you're trying to play fast-paced games, having a monitor makes a huge difference.
Hey, thank you so much for this video! I have a question about the audio and what headset you’re using for it? I’m also looking to use my PS4 on this, and I’m confused how I would get sound.
Thanks for watching! My headset is connected to my PS4, so the sound is coming from the PS4 to the headset. That's also how you'll chat with friends if you're playing multiplayer. Hope that answered your question.
If you've been using a TV and you're switching over to this monitor, you will see a performance improvement especially when playing competitive/fast paced games.
They're very similar. The biggest difference would be the design. The SB220Q is much thinner and aimed towards "casual" computer users. The VG220Q would be aimed at "gamers." However, they're pretty much the same monitor.
It was $80 on Amazon for the longest time. However, it shot up in price out of nowhere and now it's crazy expensive. Since people are working from home, companies try to get inexpensive monitors to supply to their employees. It increases demand, decreases availability, and makes the price go up. That the simple explanation, but it also gets more complicated.
Response time is way faster and input lag is way less with monitor technology. That makes it so much better for gaming, especially for competitive/fast paced games.
Yea, unfortunately it is pricey because of inflation. There are also other similar makes and models out there that perform well too for similar prices.
I'm sure that would require a beefy graphics card which are all super expensive at the moment. If I can get my hands on one, I'd definitely build a PC capable of 120 frames on Warzone.
i want to start using monitors for my console and i just bought this model and came to watch some reviews. this helps a lot thanks. i also have a question, do i need a pc to play on console or can i just plug in my ps5 to the monitor and play?
The monitor itself doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity, nor any USB ports to connect devices w/ Bluetooth. However, you can connect the bluetooth device to whatever is connected to this monitor like a gaming console or a computer.
The monitor doesn't have speakers. Other than that, everything else from the PS4 should be the same as a TV. Yes, sound will still work on your headphones.
This monitor is just a display, it cannot do anything on it's own. You need to have a PC or a console (Playstation, xbox, or other) for it to function.
Of course it is crisp. 22 inch 1080p has 100 PPI. Crisper than larger 1080P monitors and large screen HD Televisions. Yeah for ps4 slim and xbox one s users 1080P 22inch monitors are sweet spots. For PS5/X1X users 4k 27 inch is currently sweet spot.
@@smokeyd300 that sucks. Darn supply chain problems. Thankfully I at least nabbed a ps5 from the last Walmart restock, and I can always just use my tv.
If you're coming from playing on a TV, this will make a huge difference. I'd recommend a 24 inch if possible though, the one in the vid may be too small for some.
You'll probably find monitors around $160 and above with 144Hz. Here's one: www.amazon.com/Dell-S2421HGF-24inch-Anti-Glare-Monitor/dp/B089T73ZB9/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=144hz+monitor&qid=1613947744&sr=8-3

I’ve seen a review saying the tint is because the display when you get it is set to warm and not cool or normal
Possibly. However, cool looks too blue, and I can't remember if I tried normal or if that was even an option. I no longer have this monitor.
Thanks for showcasing I was thinking on buying this for gaming
Glad I could help
Thank u so much I've been looking all over for a cheap monitor
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
GREAT VIDEO
Thanks!
I have a quick question. So do you think you would recommend this monitor for gaming on a ps4 if I sit close to it? Thanks!
Yea it's a great monitor for gaming. Sitting close to it will be good too since it's not very big.
@@smokeyd300 ok, thanks for letting me know!
How do you turn on the audio through the moniter it keeps skipping over the setting for me
This monitor does not have speakers. It may have a volume control in case there are speakers connected to it via the 3.5 mm jack in the back.
What is the rgb range on your ps4? I have an acer ips monitor too and my monitor isn't like this. Could you help me about rgb range and colors please.
so im buying a gaming pc but i have wired turtle beaches how would i use my gaming headset with this monitor ?
You wouldn't plug them into the monitor. You should plug them into the PC and that should basically be it. They should work that way.
@@smokeyd300 thank you & good review keep it up 👍🏽
Thanks 👍
performance improvement?
If you've been using a TV and you're switching over to this monitor, you will see a performance improvement especially when playing competitive/fast paced games.
Great video helped so much! Just subscribed:) One question is this compatible with an any Xbox?
Yes it is. Thanks for the support!

No
can i put speakers on this monitor?
Is this monitor better then Acer Nitro VG220Q your old monitor

i’m in the military and i just need it for convenience so i can use it for my ps5 bc i’m doing a training and i gotta be away lmao
@Xhyiox it’s an honor, thank u!
$144 as we speak :(
Wow it really went up :(
Good review! Just bought a new desk and decided to go for a dual monitor set up and found this one, this video helped me decide to go with it :D
Nice! My nephew has a dual monitor setup with this monitor and it looks really good!
Thanks as a teen who hasn’t hit the age for getting a job yet this is really helpful
I SEEE THE YELLOW TINT. Also bro love your hair. My hair is sorta long too
Dang, well mine is short now, I kinda miss it :(
Monitor speaker is just better than nothing.
That is true. Speakers aren't a dealbreaker for me since I always use headphones, but it is nice to have regardless.
The monitors 90 dollars but for some reason it’s 150 pounds😢
oof
Yeah sadly now it’s 200$
Yikes!
Where did you find it under a hundred clicked the link and it’s 300

I have always used tv and was told video games monitor is way better why ?
Response time is way faster and input lag is way less with monitor technology. That makes it so much better for gaming, especially for competitive/fast paced games.
Bro i bought one at low price and it got speakers. FHD IPS panel. You should be getting inbuilt speakers at that price.
I normally begin to see speakers on models over $130. This one didn't have any. Maybe you have an upgraded model.
Thanks for this I've been looking for a budget monitor and I finally found one now
Glad I could help, thanks for commenting!
Is it good?
@@sanz7433 you still wanna know cause I just ordered one if you wanna know

I want to do walkthrough gameplay for my TH-cam channel how do I get rid of the fan noise when I am recording and thanks for the information
Ok so there is a lot of monitors with this name witch one is it
This is the only monitor with this model name that I know of. SB220q
Only got it for 30???
wow what a price!
Sadly the prices sky rocketed but this is a definite pick-up for my ps4
Yeah fr they’re all 140+ lol
I've heard about the price, they're crazy!!
Which size is best im thinking 23 inh not too big?
23 is a great size. Personally, my favorite is 27 for gaming and content consumption.
I got it brand new for $30 at a yard sale
Man what a deal!
I just got a question could this gaming monitor handle sport game to like nba2k
Can I charge my ps4 controller on the monitor so does like it have a usb charging port
It does not have a USB port unfortunately. Only VGA and HDMI
Can you use a speaker by hooking it up to headphone jack
No ghosting and low response time ?
Ghosting might be a factor, but it's minimal. Response time is 4m, which is very fast. You can definitely play some competitive games on it.
Tryna see if he still likes and replies to commebts
A little late, but yes i still go around responding to and liking comments :)

With inflation now its $130 USD but great gift for my cousin who has a nearlt broken tv

If you have enough money can you try and make a PC that could run Warzone on about 120 frames while streaming? For any price.
I'm sure that would require a beefy graphics card which are all super expensive at the moment. If I can get my hands on one, I'd definitely build a PC capable of 120 frames on Warzone.

Yes as long as it has an HDMI connection.
It works for xbox

If I want a monitor for a ps4 rn and I want it to be able to work wel on a pc what should I get
This monitor will work well for both.
Whats the refresh rate?
75Hz
Hey can i bluetooth connect wireless headphones to this monitor?
The monitor itself doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity, nor any USB ports to connect devices w/ Bluetooth. However, you can connect the bluetooth device to whatever is connected to this monitor like a gaming console or a computer.
Why did the price go up so much?
People working from home buying budget monitors. These are in high-demand.
I just bought this monitor but I'm so confused on why mine says it's 60htz instead of 75hz as it should say
i know im a bit late but it wont matter if you're on console it only matters if you're on ps5 or pc
If I plug my headphones into my PS4 controller the sound would-still work ??
The monitor doesn't have speakers. Other than that, everything else from the PS4 should be the same as a TV. Yes, sound will still work on your headphones.
@@smokeyd300 thx
Recently lost my job due to medical issues and looking for new monitor for a budget since I can’t work rn thx for the help
This one is great! Hope you get back stronger than ever. 💪
stretch resolution when?
It does not stretch the resolution. Ultrawide monitors would do that if the game or system isn't compatible. However, this monitor works just fine.
@@smokeyd300 oh alright man thanks :)

Is the response time good?
Yes it is
Say if you buy this and after a while you switch to pc can you use this in pc?
This monitor is just a display, it cannot do anything on it's own. You need to have a PC or a console (Playstation, xbox, or other) for it to function.
Yo dude I know I am late to the vid but can I use this monitor with the Xbox series s
Yes
And also can I use the BenQGL2780 for the Xbox series s
is the monitor still good and what game is that at 6:48
Yes, the monitor is great! It's been gaining a lot of popularity as well. The game is Black Ops: Cold War.
Acer sb
yes
can you hook a keyboard and mouse to it and can you edits videos on it
right thats what im also wondering
lol 75hz
Pretty good for the price I got it for. This monitor is more expensive now.
Thanks
👍
just bought it 😄
Nice!
Ist good
Sheesh
yeet 😄
What samsung monitor is that?
Of course it is crisp. 22 inch 1080p has 100 PPI. Crisper than larger 1080P monitors and large screen HD Televisions. Yeah for ps4 slim and xbox one s users 1080P 22inch monitors are sweet spots. For PS5/X1X users 4k 27 inch is currently sweet spot.
I really appreciate the video I was struggling trying to find a monitor and glad I found your video keep up the great work!!
Glad to hear it!
Is it also good for xbox one?
Yes
I just checked and it is 194.00
wow really?!?
The monitor’s selling for $200 on Amazon now… any other cheap recommendations?
Unfortunately, most items are crazy expensive at the moment :(

i think the yellow tint is it being defaulted to warm preset in the settings of the monitor.
in the color settings
Yes, i saw that. However, it's still a bit yellow when i change it to standard.
Thanks bro The monitor compatible nintendo switch?
Yes as long as you connect the HDMI
Does this Help my Delay On games such as 2k?
If you're coming from playing on a TV, this will make a huge difference. I'd recommend a 24 inch if possible though, the one in the vid may be too small for some.
I bought this monitor but I noticed that things from far away don't really load up that good is there a reason why?
It could be the settings you're playing on or the game. Are you on console or PC?
@@smokeyd300 I am on ps4
Can you make another one of these cause the prices sky rocketed good video you earned a new sub
Thanks for the support. I'm currently looking at some monitors to feature in an upcoming video :)
Where did you get the vertical stand for your ps4? Which one is it please
Amazon, but I got it like 5 years ago. I'm not sure if it's still available.
can u use the monitor by itself
No, it needs to be connected to a computer or a console. The monitor by itself will not do/display anything.
168 dollars now 😭
What’s the monitor next to it the white one
The white monitor is the Samsung CF391 32 inch
Can Acer EG220Q work too?
Yes it can.
Is there a 144hz budget monitor for pc/xbox/ps4?
You'll probably find monitors around $160 and above with 144Hz.

Is there like a 24 inch option too of this same exact monitor?
I believe there is
So if it works for ps4 does it work for Xbox I’m confused
It's like connecting your console to a TV. Just connect your Playstation or Xbox with an HDMI Cable and you're good to go. It works with both.

So do u think this will be good for the ps5???
Yes,it'll be good. Just keep in mind that it won't take advantage of the PS5's 4k resolution. It'll just run at full hd.
