"You can just put this one on a box, which helps a lot..." Oh Dawid, you truly understand my cheapness.
Being cheap great no burn in from OLED display if you pause your single player game 😂
@@powerfulshammy You'd have to pause your game for like 4 days straight to get burn in my friend lmao
Maybe even the box it came in...
The monitor even comes in a box. Very handy. 😂
@@Dorraj nah more like a whole ass year (*points at the nintendo switch, wulffden did a video on it*)
More expensive monitors are obviously better, but you really can't beat the value of a $100 monitor. Monitors in this price range are just too good, the market is just amazing right now.
Yeah, a basic 1080p 60hz office monitor used to cost more than that.
Absolutely! There is a huge segment of the market that craves these great, value-filled deals. It's great that manufacturers are still making decent stuff.
I love my dual 27" 1080p sansui monitors. You get ips panels, hdr, multiple port functionality, decent enough built in speakers which helps with multimedia settings plus the usbc. And the best part were both were bought and left money in my pocket after selling my 32" ultragear because my eyes personally cant see much difference between 1080p and 1440p when you have proper colour settings applied and stable frame rates throigh proper optomization
@@twiztedclownthat HDR is not real hdr and looks like ass, IPS displays have awful contrast which is generally fine because the colors and viewing angles make up for it, but pretending that the HDR is usable is hilarious. Ask me how I know.
@@inherentlyflawed IPS displays have better color range and are close to VA for even most of the budget panels now. your just not getting as deep of blacks.

What about 3:18 "not fully erect", just after describing that stand as "Brad Pitt".
Whow
Budget monitors can work well! You just need to make sure you know what you're buying. Cheaper IPS displays are not too hard to come by, if you're willing to put another ~$50 down on it.
As for the stand: You can always buy an aftermarket monitor arm. Budget-but-solid ones are way cheaper than Dawid implied. Mine were about $50 each, and have held up for the past 4 years without incident!
Thanks for the in-depth video!
I picked up a Pixio PX7 Prime ~4-5 years back for about $300 and I'm SUPER happy with it. Just read a bunch of reviews and did some research and made sure I could return it, but apart form having lousy HDR, I'm very happy with it for what I could afford at the time. Now I'm looking at a replacement 4K OLED 32" and looks like I need to spend ~$1300 to jump up. Sheesh.
There have been some decent MSI 1080p monitors on sale lately for about the same price as the Koorui budget monitor in the video. You just have to shop around. As for the arm, my son bought mine for Father's Day a couple years ago on sale on Amazon for about $35. I haven't had any issues with it.
I actually have 2 Koorui monitors at 1440p 144hz with IPS panels. They are great. I think koorui is one of those brands where you gotta make sure you do your research before buying.
For sure! So many great budget options an available at the moment. 😃
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Right? Now if only NVMe prices started trending back down again... That would be fantastic!
You can get a VESA monitor stand for way less than $100. It doesn't have to be a swing arm masterpiece.
You can even get a decent VESA swing arm for $30-40 (USD), sometimes less.
I think mine was around $30, and it works fine. The adjustment is a b-word, but once it's set to your liking it isn't really much of an issue anymore.@@TheGumpyGump
Yeah, and if you don't want that, then I've seen some really good monitor stands for the money that give you more storage space on your desk for pens, cables, flash drives, etc.. I just got new 165Hz 24in IPS panels, and thinking of going this route instead of monitor arms.
@@CommodoreFan64 I just got a new 27in IPS. I'm trying to decide between an arm or a stand.
@@TheGumpyGumpI have a Odyssey Neo G8 4k 34 incher and a AW3423DW ultrawide OLED and a dual arm mount. I haven't mounted them yet because this seems like a really stressful way to possibly destroy one or two $1,500+ monitors. :

I have that very same Koorui monitor and I can't fault it, superb value for money, even better as I got it free from Amazon, they sent the monitor with no stand, PSU or cables, I called them to let them know and the nice lady said I can keep it, just buy the bits you need, all told it cost me £30 for it :)
So you paid full price for the monitor, and ended up spending extra for components they forgot to provide you? And you're still happy with that? That is some wild consumer behavior right there.

Thank you for identifying your monitor measurement tools. I would certainly like to see more videos around monitor benchmarking as it relates to player experience versus cost. Thanks for the great content!
Great Video Buddy, I like your video style!
I bought a reasonably expensive "colour accurate" monitor from Benq a couple of years back. I've not really noticed all that much more colour accuracy from it - but I've definitely noticed the light bleed from the back light in a couple of the corners. Nice!
(it's the PD2700Q for anyone interested)
Yeah my most recent monitor that I've had for like 3 or 4 years now has absolutely awful backlight bleed. I will never buy IPS again, I cannot stand how much bleed it has.
There a few 240 Hz VA monitors that have good response times and don't have ghosting/blurring.
That 100% sRGB and decent colour accuracy says Dawid should do some Tech Stuff and test the Koorui against an entry level “art” monitor.
This was a nice comprehensive video!
5:16 a 32" 1440p monitor has the same ppi as a 24" 1080p one, so it looks alright.
32 inches is where 4K as a necessity starts for me. 27 inches is the 1440p sweet spot, and 24 1080p..
my eyes aren't good enough to benefit from 4k on a 32 inch screen. I'm old and my eyes are terrible so I bought a big 1440p 32 inch screen so I could see what's on the screen at all. A guy I used to work with was legally blind and he had a 32 inch 1080p TV on his desk as a monitor for a similar reason beck when the rest of us were stuck with 17 inch dell TFT screens at 768p
@@lanelesicWhat you said makes no sense. Having 32 inches at 1440p is exactly the same pixel density as a 24 inch at 1080p. So if you don't like 32 inches at 1440p, you don't like 24 inches at 1080p either.
Understandable, 1440p at 32 inches is better than 1080p. I used a 30 inch 1920x1200 monitor decade and more ago and thought it was the best thing ever compared to my 19" crt 1280x1024 Belinea :D @@misterthegeoff9767
Thats not how it works@@kadrix732
Regardless of price, putting a VA panel against an OLED is a ridiculously unfair comparison. Comparing the cheap monitor to something with a VA or IPS panel would be a much more useful comparison.
Definitely. Unless you have the 2 side by side, the average consumer can never tell the difference.
He just comparing the price to what you get.
Nice video nice explaining
Yay a new dawid video
I purchased a cheap 27-inch 1440P monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate on Amazon for my son, and I’m astounded by the quality. Although I currently use a 50-inch TV, the exceptional quality of this affordable monitor has me considering a switch for myself. The display is vibrant and smooth, with deep blacks that are impressively dark, especially given the monitor’s price range.
P.S.: The smearing issue isn’t as pronounced as what’s shown in your video.
Can I ask what model you bought him? And possibly a link?
@@Finwolf29 MG27H7QB it's advertised as 144hz but to our surprise it was actually 165hz.

I tried OLED PG27AQN monitor for a few weeks and hated it big time. My room is quite sunny and during the day I had problems seeing the monitor, there is a way to max out brightness, but then in the evening it burns retina. Went with good ol trusty IPS Acer XB3 4k 144hz. it was also $400 cheaper!
3:53 attach the power brick below your desk. Out of the way, doesn't add to bulk of the monitor, doesn't add to heat generation inside monitor case. Latter results in more and more often occurring active cooling, which is annoying as all heck in a silent room
How? With duct tape?
@@samoerai6807 idk what the English word for it is. Tin stripe with holes, rolled up. Cut to desired length, bend shape to power brick and screws to both sides
another Dawid banger video! love to see it.
There was a one monitor with VA panel and almost none smearing. It was holy grail of VA panels. And it was old Samsung Oddysey G7, 240Hz, 1440p, VA with Quantum Dots, it was good monitor for good price.
Thanks Dawid!
I watched this video on a monitor. Very educational!
Honestly it would have been better same panel types were compared. For a cheap ips monitor vs a expensive ips monitor.
Thanks for the content. Always enjoy your vids. Is there any chance you Could do a video comparing desktop speaker set ups cheapest vs most expensive or something like that?
Monitors are something SOOOO many people overlook, so many people with high end pcs stick with 144-165hz 1440p IPS monitors at most, go to 4k or ESPECIALLY OLED for god sake, its worth it.
No way am I paying $5k for a high end PC and then another $2k+ for a 4K oled..I’d be happy with a high end 1440p ips monitor for less than $1k. The increase in graphic quality does not justify the doubling in price.
@@velocitymg
I think these new 4K OLED 240hz moniters are around $1400, American.
The thing is that's pretty pricey compared to TVs of a similar caliber.
I'm currently using a 4K 120hz OLED 55in TV. It has all the gaming features like all kinds of VRR, amazing image quality, 1ms input lag, and a dedicated PC monitor mode.
Freaking incredible for a TV.
The new monitors cost MORE than my current TV. Sure they are 240hz but that's kind of the only notable improvement. And at a fraction of the size and less features than a TV I don't know why monitors are overpriced in comparison.
I want a dedicated monitor of a similar caliber to my TV, but I just don't think the price on them is worth it. And I also don't want a display with worse image quality than I'm already using. So guess I'll continue just using the TV 😂.
I've been in the market for a new monitor for a while and was wondering just that. Thanks for the awesome video Dawid!!!!
I've had the same 24 inch monitor for 25 years.
Used to video edit weddings, birthdays, etc. For family and friends.
Still got my spyder too!
1080p forget frame rate, but spent lots of game time over those years.
Can't afford $1,000 for a monitor.
But it keeps me happy. My eyes are older too, so I don't know if I could see the difference... But my gaming laptop is 1080 with 144hz refresh rate. I use that you my gaming now.
nnice perfect timing .... i was just thinking to buy one ... lets peep this out
Im currently using a Cooler Master GA271. Fantastic monitor for the money, 27" 1440p VA, colours are brilliant, ghosting doesnt seem to be an issue over 30hz. None adjustable stand, but it is eye level where i sit so all good, £140 new, bargain monitor, should give it a shot
I've had issues with my spyderx on my OLED laptop as well, I think the higher end spyder models support hdr/oled, im not sure that the entry level ones do unfortunately.
Watching Dawid’s hair grow out is the anime arc I never knew I needed
One thing I have to give Monitors in general credit for is, that they seem to last forever. I only use phased out office monitors I get for free and in all my time dealing with PCs and Monitors, only 2 ever gave up on me.
I also find it pretty amazing what you get relative to their power draw.
Even if you go all the way back to non-LED TFT Displays, they only took about 30 watts, compare that to one of those color-changing Phillips Hue bulbs and you could even consider using old monitors to light rooms.
I have a 1440p curved 32 inch monitor and it looks perfectly fine. I mean sure you will see pixels if you get too close and try to spot them, but if you’re just using it normally then it’s perfectly fine.
Would prefer more display ports over hdmi imo
hay Dawid! great video as always! what watch do you have?
For $120 USD, I got a Pixio PX248 Prime, which is a 24" 1080p 120hz monitor. I think it's really good for the price. It's an IPS panel and has decent motion performance, especially compared to the VA monitor in the video. The only thing is I had to return it twice to get one without dead pixels. Would definitely recommend it over the KOORUI 24E6C if you can get one without any defects lol
That just means inevitably you'll end up with dead pixels on this monitor as well lol
@@huskers1278, I hope not lol. Hopefully just manufacturing defects
@GoodGamer3000 *Knock on wood* your good bro 👌
I have a Koorui 27E6QC and I’m very happy with it
I own the corsair monitor and it's fantastic, looks amazing and really smooth.
I used to use this 32 inch LG Ultragear VA monitor and it had notable smearing issues. Now I have an Odyssey G9 which is also VA but it has no smearing issues that I notice.
I feel this comparison was stacked from the start as the monitors are 2 different resolutions. You should compare cheap vs expensive in the same weight class to be fair.
Im currently rocking a Dell 27" 1080p 165Hz ips display and despite the limitations of that technology and the resolution, im absolutely inlove with the quality of this monitor!!
I live in a very bright part of the world and even despite having my desk right next to a huge window, I almost never use my monitor at 100% Brightness, I keep it at 50% at max, its jst too bright...what makes that even more weird is this isnt even a HDR display.
To clarify, im no fan boy of Dell or any brand, but this display really has surpassed my expectations and until I upgrade my graphics card, I doubt ill be upgrading any time soon.
Maybe you do have it on your channel already, but I really think it would be good to see a comparison like this between two monitors with the "same" specs but with different price ranges. Typical IPS/VA 1080p/1440p 144hz monitors that you can find with a lot of different prices and no big difference on specs
I tried the GN03. I was impressed by the panel even tho it's also a VA. I played on a older ASUS VA panel 4 years ago and the difference is there. New VA have really improved over the years and it's nice to see really cheap gaming monitor using a good panel.
But we can put sonething like a long box at the bottom of the monitor stand and put some long spiker at the front, that might also work.
4:14 That is a nice picker 😜
OLED actually provides BETTER detail in dark scenarios. If you play a game with a lot of dark areas, like Tarkov, an OLED would actually be BETTER.
If you don't want it to be truly black (idk why you wouldn't...) just raise your in game brightness if possible.
Edit: Although it's definitely not "budget", for those that want OLED as cheap as possible, there are portable OLED monitors on Amazon/AliExpress for >$500. Pixio also makes OLED monitor (1440p/240Hz) for $600
Some context as to what paying more nets you.
27''' is more expensive than 24''' You get a bigger screen. also 1440p is nice on a 27''' which is much nicer than 1080p on 27'' or 24''
1080p is what most consider the bare minimum. 1440p needs a more powerful graphics card especially for gaming to achieve decent fps (something like an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is sufficient). for 4k, you need the best graphics card which costs a bomb at current market price which most of us can agree is currently overpriced.
Then you got IPS vs Oleds. Oleds cost more than ips, but tend to have better contrast and HDR. For IPS, you would need good local dimming which many don't have, so HDR crown tends to be won by the oled monitors. For example in midrange ips monitors, you tend to see a lot of fake hdr. There is one exception which is a particular AOC monitor with decent HDR capability, albeit you get the inherent cons of a VA panel as trade off, but still impressive for a mid range price monitor.
Next is high refresh rates. 144hz, 180hz, 240hz and above. The higher you go, the less perceptible benefit. Some studies claim 240hz is still a noticeable difference compared to lower.
Build quality e.g. panel etc and extra features. Does the monitor have issues or not? This is the most important before you even buy the monitor you are looking at. Check the reviews first.
Burn in is a risk especially for oleds. But if you look at MSI monitors, they have features to prevent/reduce the chances of burn ins. So i wouldn't be too worried, but would also advice to be mindful not to do stuff that would cause burn ins over time.
personally i'm more budget minded, so i will get something good which is a good value, and not wade into excessive extravagance especially at insane prices. So i got a mid range 27'''180hz IPS monitor. But if you have the means, go for it e.g. oled 240hz+ 27''' 4k resolution.
The most important thing, is know what exact you are buying, whether it's the improvement you want/need, check if it's worth the price increase and whether it fits into your existing budget.
I bought 10I bought a 1080p 27” Backlit LCD monitor with 75hz display from Acer for console gaming and it’s pretty good. Especially my table is pretty long, so no ppi problems and it produces amazing colors too.
Bought 2 AOC 24G2U monitors in 2021 for 150GBP each and IPS, 144hz, 24" fits on my desk, great stands for the price adjusts height and rotate, USB HUB, and make me feel confident that I can get some good years out of my 3060ti which i bought around the same time, before worrying about upgrading because 1080p.
I will probably swap to 1 ultrawide higher res display when i next upgrade but I will probably build a whole new pc when i next upgrade too so balance hey. if things go together you can have a good time.
I bought an Acer VGO VG240Y M3 with 1080p res, IPS level display and 180hz refresh for about 100 US dollar and honestly I am impressed and I can easily compare it with a monitor with similar specs and costs wayy too much then the one i mentioned. Pretty happy with my purchase.
from what i remember there is another koorui monitor similar to this that does have a ips display at a similar price
Nice! I'm watching this on one of those Xeneon!
The biggest downsides to me are BY FAR the non-uniform greys (try Windows file explorer in dark mode) and judder at lower framerates like 30fps movies.
I don't care about the stand at all though and it's still in the packaging, because I have mounted it on a VESA monitor arm with gas spring.
I tiewrapped the powerbrick to the arm, close to the monitor, so that's nicely tucked away and bought a long IEC cable to run it all the way from the brick through the internal arm cable routing all the way to the outlet.
Oh and about cost of those arms: they are about 100 bucks, but never get obsolete and will last you many different displays over the years: buy once cry once!
3:18 "not fully erect"? Yikes! that's quite the insult for "Brad Pit" 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for answering my question!
Just Dawid being Dawid. He's a silly guy!
He's just never changed it since this was a tiny channel. I like that he stuck with his original one honestly.
I had no idea it was an actual song made by human beings until I heard the words. It's awful but at this point it's his thing
Jesus christ, these people have no respect. Let Dawid use his title card peacefully (which he has been using for years).
The title card makes the video feel homemade, not some corp garbage.
I had a 32 inch 1440p VA display from 2019 until 2022. I didn't notice the blurriness that much until I heard Dawid mention it lol. Now I have a 1080p 360Hz IPS screen and sometimes use my 65" 4K 120Hz OLED TV with keyboard and mouse. Love them both! 360Hz is soooo smooth but the OLED is still far more gorgeous
I have the aorus fv43u 144hz 4k VA panel and having a 27inch 75hz IPS 1440p the VA panel without overdrive has little smering IPS never even at almost half refresh rate but with little overdrive I love the monitor special for the 520euro I paid for it on a deal normal price is 750euro a for that price not. Has freesync pro , vrr HDMI 2.1 X2 DP 1.4 and USB c ports playing PS5 and xsx and pc on the display very happy with the purchase.... If I had the money would have brought a OLED 40"+ display but I don't have the money to pay triple and have burn in after a while juist like my S20
can't wait to get my hands on a 42 inch lg c3 next month
I got the 1st one ! I don’t mind it for casual gaming
I have the OLED Corsair monitor in the video and it was worth every penny. I love watching content on it too.
Another banger from yo boi Dawid, with dat hair smoother than rendering 1080p videos on a 4090.
i got that corsair monitor, seem to be the best overall oled in many regards(the new 360hz version probably is a same price replacement.), but only worth it if you use the hdr and you can be in hdr mode all the time on this one.
best value buy i did was 500 dollar 4k 28" ips, cost me a third of what i played for the corsair oled.
ips still is great at input lag and pixel response time, nothing to gain there.
Oh guy, my 34" curved model is awesome 😮 it was expensive but hey its awesome 😊
Great video as always. It depends what do you want to do with your monior and what are your system specs? I have a Samsung Odyssey G7 27" VA QLED curved monitor with 240Hz refresg rate. It has 1ms response time and motion blur reduction(MBR) function. It's perfect for fps games(left 4 dead 2, war zone 2.0 etc). Also it has beautiful colors. I bought for ~$500 and I love it.
Samsung QLED Oddyssey monitors are the only exception to VA having horrible motion performance. In fact, they beat most of the competition with them at the time of release & are still LCD chart toppers.
That was a lot of words to get to the answer of "YES".
I work all day on a 1440p koorui 27" Its actually quite good. I just purchased the 31.5" koorui GN01. Its quite good!!
i have the 27e6qc which is just bigger and 1440p its great for what i needed at the time i intend to grab a better monitor with hdr to main and use it as my backup
I think best would be to add cheap, mid range and high end one as usually midrange is where you get the best value and would be interesting to see if there is actually a point of the high end monitors when the midrange offers so much
Random thought: normal eyes are limited to resolving objects 1 arc minute (1/60th degree) apart.The THX recommended horizontal FOV (amount that a picture should fill the vision) at 16:9 is 40 degrees, to avoid needing to turn head.
So 40/(1/60) is 2400 of the smallest things you can resolve. 1440p is 2560 pixels wide, so basically optimal for content consumption and gaming* at any screen size...i.e. we're accounting for if you go bigger you have to sit further away).
* Strategy games, work or anything where you don't need to keep whole screen in your sight aside...
you should do this again but add in TVs
1:48 This is a groundbreaking test that Dawid comes out for rage-quit gamers. Manufacturers should pay abit more attention to this so that when gamers get angry, rage-quit, then bang table, their monitor height won't be affected.
I've been using a 24" 1080p pixio VA monitor and I've enjoyed it a lot. 1080p still looks great when the display isn't the size of a movie theater screen
I purchased one of these about a year and a half ago: Pixio PX248 Prime Advanced 24" 144Hz FHD 1080p 1ms GTG Fast Nano IPS Gaming Monitor. It's a pretty damn good 1080p monitor that doesn't cost much at all, currently for $120 US on Amazon and it appears to be a heck of a lot better than the Koorui in this video.
Went from an Acer 1440p 27" 144hz TN panel to a LG 34" 34gp83a-b Ultrawide nano IPS. crystal clear to my eyes and the added POV in game is great IMO. no regrets
I have a koorui 27 inch 1440p 144hz monitor. I got it for the same price you got the 24 inch for. It's only a secondary monitor and it lies in the ad about HDR, it literally doesn't have it and it's just a brightness setting on the monitor itself. It's ok though for the price.
1440p ips 165hz monitors are around 160 on sale nowadays
4:33 I see what you did there 😂
Great video! I noticed your keyboard in the background. What and where can I find one? Thanks!
nice video but i think it would be better to compare displays with the same technology, like cheap va vs a good one.
Great video as usual. Just curious what games did you use to feature the monitors? Looks awesome.
I saw a lot of Helldivers 2
I've found the corsair oled has a slight issue in that the HDMI port doesn't support full 2.1 bandwidth. So running 1440p@240 HDR requires DSC.
I love my Koorui 24" 1440p 165hz monitor. It was cheap and it does everything really well. Worth every penny. Height adjustible, can pivot which is great. Model GP01 Black, sells a lot for around 200 to 220 USD
iv been thinking about getting that exact one for a while, would you say its worth upgrading from a 1080p 75hz monitor to that one?
@@szymonzak6681 I upgraded from a 21in 1080p 60hz monitor. If you have the GPU to push the pixels and the refresh then I'd say yes. I haven't had any Gsync issues with it either. It took a while for me to get used to it and I was afraid it being 3" bigger would be an issue (I get motion sick easily) and it turned out to be fine. I think my only complaint with it is that it does seem to have a lot of glare depending on your lighting setup in the room.
@@Bigbacon hah coming from 21" too, yh I think a 3060ti should do well 1440p high settings right? I like my graphics all fancy, but the glare would be annoying because I do sometimes have the sun in my screen but oh well

Got a $250 4K 160hz 27” monitor from aliexpress, a great deal it is!
I've heard the SpyderX doesn't work well with OLED panels because it doesn't have a correction profile for OLED.
Also, their software sucks and the colorimeters aren't that accurate. I have two SpyderX's and when measuring the same monitor, the first one measures 6200K and the second one 6700K color temperatures...
Dpi is important, but at the end, perceived DPI is directly related to how far away you can position your monitor from you, which means, if you have a deep enough desk, a bigger monitor, even with lower dpi, would still be preferable to use at 100% scale than a smaller with more resolution.
Higher end monitors are usually pretty dumb if you can put a 42 4k C2 or C3 OLED LG television in your desk to use as a monitor. NOTHING can beat it for price x to performance. It is what I use as a monitor (actually a 48 c1). Outside the US, taxes make higher end gaming monitors even worse value. A LG C2 42 oled costs about 900 usd equivalent here in Brasil since it is assembled in local factories, whereas a 1000 usd higher end gaming monitor ends up costing 1600~1900 USD equivalet due to importation shipment and taxes.
After going big, you can't go back to tiny monitors, (that's why my wife hasn't left me) and nowadays I even find 27" screens too small to me. I put a 32" 1440p lg in my office (where I do sometimes sleep over and game a little) and it has the exact same dpi as a 48" 4k screen which is perfect to me. I position it a little closer to my face and use it at 100% scale. I think 42 4k would be perfect (which are quite harder to get at good price locally), but everyone I know that uses 32" 4k has to end up using at 150% scale, which in practice means you are losing productivity space and will just stress your graphic cards more running things in 4k (even if they are upscaled).
I think the perfect setup is either a 39~45" UW setup, or dual 32" or a single 42~48 screen. But higher end UW setups are more expensive than a 48 lg oled television, so just get the 48" oled tv instead and forget about expensive higher end gaming monitors. If you really want more FPS, you can get a 50" Samsung S90C QDOLED 144hz, too. All you need is a desk deep enough to position the tv properly. 240hz is nice, but realistically only the top of the top 1% players would really benefit from going from 144 to 240hz exclusively on a competitive setting, yet many pro players still are using eyecancer TN 500hz zowie monitors. Ew... For the rest of us that enjoy a single player game more than sweaty crack powered valorant, 120hz is more than fine enough.
It would be good to see how well you can game at the cinema - if you can plug your PC into their projector that is and you can wireless control!
Would be interesting to see you use the Koorui 24E3, it's a 24" 165Hz 1080p monitor but it's IPS and its the same price
After my old ACER GD245HQ got pixel lag. I upgraded to an LG27GR95QE. Went from 60Hz to a 240Hz OLED. Never seen such smooth gameplay. And the contrast... Dark places are actually dark, not grey.
I prefer IPS with Full-Array Local Dimming and minimum on HDR600 you get the 4K Sony M9 for the same price or less than the expensive option in this test. Yes you do need a beast on a card to run at 4K but I have managed with upscaling from 1440p to get acceptable frame rate, I also drop settings from Ultra to high and go easy on the RT, finally I cap the frame rate to 120 or 144 for better overall latency. The 4K gives more than 160 ppi with is much better for every other task as well, especially creative work.
What a hilarious man!!!
I'm searching for a replacement monitor that has some kvm features, Once saw one that could split the screen or even have PIP. Hard to find and even moreso when on a budget.
I feel you with the adaptors, dont like them, couse you need to be mindfull where they are all the time.
They do get warm.
Need to check if i can atleast buy extra one.
For the middle ground i suggest the LG 27gp850-B. It has almost everything u want for a monitor. 27 inches 1440p 165hz(180hz overdrive) nano ips, almost perfect color accuracy and a very deep dark level for a nano ips display. All of that for just 350$( at my country)
I got a 1440p 240 oled after using a 1080p 144hz VA and the difference was night and day in every aspect, although it was like 3.5 time more expensive than the VA when I got it
