300 nits isn't even enough for HDR400, which is already a spec that no sane person would consider HDR. but maximum brightness aside, true HDR needs significantly better contrast. putting "HDR" in your advertisement is the same as those fake "1ms pixel response times". it's bordering on being a scam, but the manufacturers were able to bend the VESA specifications to a point where they can get away with it due to technicalities. that doesn't mean that these monitors are bad. I just wish they would stop lying about the features and specs.
My first high refresh rate 1440p monitor was actually a Pixio, I believe it was somewhere in the range of $250-$300 back when 1440p OR 144hz were prohibitively expensive, let alone getting both in a single monitor. Saved up for a long time to get it. Never had any problems with it. Eventually just ended up giving it to a friend and upgrading at some point. I'm sure there were problems with it, I was in my teens at the time and probably didn't care very much about stuff like color accuracy or viewing angle (I think it was a TN panel and the stand was also pretty terrible). But all I really remember is being blown away by how big of an upgrade 1440p was from my previous 900p monitor, and having my mind blown playing The Witcher 3 at 1440p at 50-60fps on my new GTX1070. Good times.
It's good to see a monitor review that isn't some $1200 4K OLED that only Linus and oil barons can afford. High refresh rate gaming is the bee's knees for visual safari style games and virtually required for e-sports titles so a decent budget monitor gets my full attention. Congrats on getting sponsors to take notice of your channel.
Monitor is one piece of hardware that you absolutely should spend a lot. It's the thing you're looking at afterall. Don't cheap out on one. Same goes for office chairs
Pc gamers on youtube/reddit say you shouldn't "skimp" on half the components in a pc and then by the time youre done you end up spending 2000 dollars on a budget pc to play Minecraft with
@@jebreggie4225 I think it's mainly an order of operations here. The usual places people say not to cheap out on (monitor, chair, desk, PSU) are an investment over the long term to keep you and your PC healthy. Everything else is "nice to have" stuff that may affect PC performance but not by a huge margin.
I have a triple 1440P 144hz monitor setup I use to work and game. All three monitors from AOC for around $250 each. Loving that high refrsh monitors are getting affordable. Once you experience high refesh, 60fps becomes the bare minimum like 30fps was. Great review.
As much as I spent money for a 4K 144hz monitor, it is still always nice to see how cheaper monitors are doing. Especially since maybe when games just demand too much for 4K on my 6950 XT, getting a cheaper, lower res monitor would for sure be a good choice those those newer games.
Something worth mentioning is that a lot of these 165Hz cheap monitors are essentially overclocked 120 or 144 Hz panels. This can lead to ghosting when playing games or even scrolling pages on the internet. If people experience such a thing then lowering the refresh rate in the settings of your graphics card will often take away a lot of the issue.
@@RealMilkMan255no it really doesn't. It's absolutely true that most 165-180hz panels are just overclocked 120-144 panels, but running at higher refresh rate won't make them transition slower, if anything they're often faster as they can afford to be more aggressive with overdrive settings but that isn't a rule
The only experience I've had with a '165Hz' display was a VN 165Hz 1440p screen and it was one of the worst things I've unfortunately ever laid eyes upon. The ghosting was absolutely horrid, it felt like I was drunk the entire time... Not only that, text became completely unreadable and turned into black splotches essentially, it was horrifying honestly. After spending about half an hour tinkering with everything, I made it like 2% better, if that. Ended up returning it and getting an IPS 144Hz 1440p screen and I absolutely love it, looks great. c:
I gotta say, the quality of these videos are spectacular. Your voice especially is really soothing. Have to admit I've fallen asleep on several occasions due to it
Not really when you look at the value I got over 2 years ago in September 2021. Paid £250 for a pixio px277 prime which is 1440p 165hz 27 inch. The only thing nicer on the one in the video is the stand.
i love ur videos bro the voiceovers are so addictive to listen to and the straight information u give xd u should try television advertisement work lol
I got a 240hz spectre curved monitor for $110 after tax on Amazon for a discount. It is a great jump from 144hz and it has waaaaay better colors the Lenovo 144hz monitor I was using before. It just makes such a major difference when you have a good display.
Plastic cup was flying and broke a panel on my Philips 24 165hz IPS. Nothing cracked but panel was gone. Then I run into Predator xb253q, bit older quality 240hz screen for 200 euros in shop and that one is very nice and i love it. I also use bit older 4K 60hz Dell that was flying more than once and it still works with no marks on it.. I would avoid cheapest models and scan shops for good deals on older high end monitors.
I have multiple computers around the house, all on 60Hz monitors. My gaming pc has two monitrs - a 4k 60Hz 27" and a secondary 24" 1080 (usually for discord and hardware monitoring software). I have long considered a high refresh rate monitor, id like to move my 4K to secondary status (i can still use it for movies as well) and get a high refresh rate 27" 1080 monitor for games. Videos like this help with this decision.
@IcebergTech thank you my whole PC has been built on a budget like last year I upgraded the cpu and motherboard. I got a ryzen 7 5700x and msi b550 pro motherboard for £280 and thankfully my gpu a rtx 3060 was a Christmas present in 2022 so very happy with the while setup and not spent a lot on it in total and used some of your videos for advice.
I know microcenter doesnt exist outside the US, but they had the hyperx 25 1080p ips 240hz monitors for $129 USD. Amazon had them for $239.99 at the time.
I have the Pixio 248 Prime which is the cutdown version and it can still get 165hz when overclocking without it being outside the freesync range, I can also do an extreme oc and get it to 218hz which when paired with MPRT mode gives insane response time.
This is a trap. If you are looking for a budget 165Hz monitor, you can't reach those framerates with your hardware, or you don't know what hardware you have. Still, great vid Iceberg
I don't even play competitive, but I LOVE high refresh rates. Forget 4K, 1080p120 is where it's at for me! Nice to see that 120hz+ is now a lot cheaper, but I still feel a bit salty over buying a 165hz monitor right in the midst of the scalper pandemic for $300 CAD. Although to be fair, I don't think monitors were being scalped as hard as GPUs. (tell that to my $400 GTX 1070 that exploded back in august '23) Heck, I could barely hit 120fps until I upgraded from an i5-2400 to an i7-4770, and now with my i5-12600K, 120fps is easy to achieve in any title that isn't GPU bound by my RX 5700, of which the only example I can name is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, but I can still hit 80-90fps in more demanding areas with dynamic scalng set to target 75fps. Also I only run it at 120hz because it's a multiple of 60, which makes streaming/recording at 60fps less juddery. Also, PX248... that sounds a lot like my VG248 from ASUS. I guess it's because it's 24.8 inches? Oh wow, this is an IPS monitor! Mine's TN.
To record gameplay, you could try recording 30 minutes or whatever and then just playing it back full screen so you can take your b-roll footage or whatever while not having to sit awkwardly trying to play
I've been considering buying the Pixio PX277 Pro for about a month or two along with a few other monitors but now I'm heavily considering getting a 32in monitor instead lol. I really still can't decide between the Pixio or a Gigabyte M27Q, an MSI G274QPF-QD, or the Dell / "Alienware" G2724D. Right now, I'm leaning towards either an MSI or Dell monitor mainly because the stricter quality control from Dell and MSI implementing the quantum dot technology I actually like a lot after learning more about it and how it works.
Reminds me of the Philips monitor I got during black week for 700 DKK (25 % VAT included). Though it was the model without height ajustable stand but I can VESA mount it if I need it.
Afaik, HDR600 is like the absolute minimum spec considered to be capable of actual HDR. HDR400 is specifically designed for being one extra sticker to be put on the box. So the fact that this monitor doesn't even hit 400nits means it's just standard dishonest rhetoric by the marketing department, or in simpler terms, SDR
Just so you're aware, warzone is unoptimised beyond like 120fps, it's weird. I play with a 5900x, 3433MHz dual channel and a 3080 and get 120-160fps regardless of resolution and settings. I think it's either memory speed limited (though I don't think DDR5 systems fair much better) or engine limited, because this is pretty consistent with the playerbase. Works fine on lower end hardware to reach that 100fps-ish target though
I wonder if this is a good niche for budget competitive gamers? Otherwise I feel casual PC enthusiasts might be pushing for 1440p rather than an extra 20 or 40hz response rate.
My current monitor is pretty cheap. It cost me $69 ;) USD plus sales tax. It's a 1080p 75hz display, which suits me fine for my PS4 pro and eSports titles capped at 60 FPS anyway. I'm planning on building my own PC this summer though, and I think I should probably put in the cash for a decent high refresh rate monitor. Especially since my current monitor lacks Displayport.
Hey iceberg! Have you seen the ryzen 7 5700x 3D? Seems to be settling at £230 on amazon at the mo do you recon it'll be a good deal for gamers on a budget?
144 and 165 feel so awkward to me, stick to 120 or 180, the differences between anything with a smaller gap is hardly noticable, though i can't say that for sure. i just like clean scaling, whether it be spatial or temporal, while our power grids still haven't converged, our electronics are all 60 or 30hz, multiples of 30 mean clean frame sampling. 30, 60, ~90, 120, ~180, 240, ~300, 360, ~420, 480, ~540, 600, 720, 840, 960, 1080, 1200, 1320, 1440, 1560, 1680, 1800, 1920, 2040, 2160, 2280, 2400, 2520, 2640, 2760, 2880, you can recognise a fair few numbers in there that we use elsewhere but fps gets silly that high, what we really want is the frame time or refresh interval, 16.66ms for 60, 11.11ms for 90, 8.33ms for 120, 5.55 for 180, 4.16ms for 240, 2.77ms for 360, 2.08ms for 480, you notice the diminishing returns, you need to double Hz to get a noticeably smoother video, 960hz finally gets down to 1.04ms
HDR on IPS LED displays is mostly just false advertising. A lot of monitor manufacturers slap HDR (whatever) on it but most of it sucks cause the contrast sucks, brightness sucks, or it has no local dimming. It's done on purpose to slap HDR on the box as a feature when effectively it's useless and not really HDR.
I've been trying to get this monitor for a while now. Can't seem to find it anywhere to buy. The link doesn't work for me and when I went to other videos for the link their links sent me to an US site with PIXIO products that are simular but it's not the same thing. (I live in the U.S) I can look on the UK version of amazon and find it but when I go to US amazon it's not there. It's even amazon's choice in UK right now! PIXIO's site doesn't work as it says it's out of stock. Does anyone know where I can buy it?
There's more to HDR than just brightness and that IPS monitor doesn't have the contrast nor local dimming. So even if it was 1000 nits it wouldn't provide a real HDR experience. It should be illegal to market them like this. If you've ever seen an OLED in HDR you'd see.
@@IcebergTech you don't fresh install/Factory reset every time you test pcs? I don't find DDU to be useful at all, to be fair I use a 3400g with a rtx 2070 so I'm having issues whenever I install Amd adrenaline drivers, to the point that even DDU basically did nothing until I factory reset windows
I strongly dislike HDR on monitors, I've yet to see one which wasn't ungodly bright. I get you need bright to balance the shadows out properly but it's burning my retinas. I'm the type to turn brightness down on the monitor, and in game anyways. I mean seriously HDR for games is like a strobbing flash bang which doesn't allow you to lower the brightness.
No one should be buying a 1080p monitor in 2024. 1440p monitors are only a little more expensive and wont be replaced the second you replace your graphics card. 1080p needs to be moved on from
I have 118Hz on a budget, and that's called getting a CRT for free and playing at 1024x768. Though, it's nice to see high refresh rate monitors coming down in price, though I'm going to wait until they're more equal to CRTs in terms of responsiveness and motion clarity, as well as contrast.
It's a pretty well featured generic case with a hinged TG side panel and good ventilation, BUT it comes with crappy fans, a non-universal RGB hub, and it costs about the same as something better from Corsair, NZXT, Fractal etc., and is more expensive than an equally generic case from someone like Montech
300 nits isn't even enough for HDR400, which is already a spec that no sane person would consider HDR. but maximum brightness aside, true HDR needs significantly better contrast.
putting "HDR" in your advertisement is the same as those fake "1ms pixel response times". it's bordering on being a scam, but the manufacturers were able to bend the VESA specifications to a point where they can get away with it due to technicalities.
that doesn't mean that these monitors are bad. I just wish they would stop lying about the features and specs.
HDR400 is not a specification, it's a certificate
@@morzemus1805It's a certification for hitting a certain specification. It's both ways, let's not act elitist 😂

(I live in the U.S) I can look on the UK version of amazon and find it but when I go to US amazon it's not there. It's even amazon's choice in UK right now! PIXIO's site doesn't work as it says it's out of stock. Does anyone know where I can buy it?
The real budget high refresh setup is a 60fps pc with frame gen enabled
ssd if is full dz it affect gaming can u make a video on that
There's more to HDR than just brightness and that IPS monitor doesn't have the contrast nor local dimming. So even if it was 1000 nits it wouldn't provide a real HDR experience. It should be illegal to market them like this. If you've ever seen an OLED in HDR you'd see.
6:18 man changed pcs here
Nope, just forgot to change the text in my RTSS overlay.
@@IcebergTech you don't fresh install/Factory reset every time you test pcs?
I don't find DDU to be useful at all, to be fair I use a 3400g with a rtx 2070 so I'm having issues whenever I install Amd adrenaline drivers, to the point that even DDU basically did nothing until I factory reset windows
koorui pixio and ktc quality brand for monitor
if i didn't already have a cheap 144hz this would be it
120 hz is more than enough?
test the koorui 24e3
I got a 1440p 170hz 27" for $145 not the best thing ever but still nice
I strongly dislike HDR on monitors, I've yet to see one which wasn't ungodly bright. I get you need bright to balance the shadows out properly but it's burning my retinas.
I'm the type to turn brightness down on the monitor, and in game anyways. I mean seriously HDR for games is like a strobbing flash bang which doesn't allow you to lower the brightness.
If you said the Background wallpaper name that will be much much better 😂
Oh, I think I just found a landscape photo on Pexels.com
@@IcebergTech it's "lago di braies, italy"
Got a Koorui 24e3 for 96 USD last year that has these same specs and it's just rediculous value.
I have Philips 165 hz 27 zoll 1 ms ips and fully gsync for 150 euro.

No one should be buying a 1080p monitor in 2024. 1440p monitors are only a little more expensive and wont be replaced the second you replace your graphics card. 1080p needs to be moved on from
Monitors here are not even worth buying, they are so damn expensive, I wish they were cheaper here still....
Got ips 165hz monitor for 210$
I'll take it if you don't want it! Don't actually have a monitor 🤣
140£ isn't that cheap TBH
I have 118Hz on a budget, and that's called getting a CRT for free and playing at 1024x768. Though, it's nice to see high refresh rate monitors coming down in price, though I'm going to wait until they're more equal to CRTs in terms of responsiveness and motion clarity, as well as contrast.
What's wrong with the case?
It's a pretty well featured generic case with a hinged TG side panel and good ventilation, BUT it comes with crappy fans, a non-universal RGB hub, and it costs about the same as something better from Corsair, NZXT, Fractal etc., and is more expensive than an equally generic case from someone like Montech
@@IcebergTech Fair enough. I was wondering as aesthetically I find it quite attractive based on your video.
Can you peel off that BULLSHIT BRAND Tramp-stamp on the large front bezel ????
That's nothing. I got a 180Hz monitor for under 70 dollars!
Nice
yooooooooooo im early.
Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. It's laughable that they would put the word Pro in the title.
