It's 140 bucks usually, $115 with a prime subscription or free trial. Last week it was $101 which was literal theft.
Also - do NOT buy the 24E4. That one has a slower VA panel.
The MSI G2412 is pretty sick near this price. Same for the Gigabyte g24f
@@RadialSeeker113 gigabyte model is like 5 times slower so no
arent you australian? its currently going for 362 AUD from your link
EU link?
@@Djare915 You know if the MSI model the guy above referenced uses same panel as Pixio and Koorui?
Well, Koorui is essentially HKC, the one who made the panels for ASUS, MSI, etc. It is only natural that they can have a bit more control over the pricing. The thing is though, they sometimes have limited supply or they deliberately mess up the color accuracy to make it so that they didn't directly compete with their main buyers (ASUS, MSI, etc.).
That's extremely interesting. Is there any way to "un-mess up" the color accuracy in those cases?
@@willwunsche6940you might be interested in GTID's review of the 24E3. He tried calibrating it, the results are pretty interesting. Look up "GTID Korui 24E3"
I wonder if they're selling the lower binned items or overruns. That could explain why the colors are sometimes off and why supply is really spotty.
@@thesingingchild Interesting I'll look it up thanks
@@thesingingchild omg I didn't know about this channel but his editing style is epic
For anyone in parts of Asia where HKC is present, Koorui is a sub-brand of HKC, in case you're wondering. So you might be able to get this in HKC stores.
Thanks 👍👍i'm in the PH and hadn't heard of Koorui but HKC is well known. Will be on the lookout as all PC parts in the PH are expensive due to customs.
Hkc, Hong Kong?
@@enfeeyano China mainland.
But it's more expansip
yeah i just got the exact same hkc monitor. i saw the stand in the video and i was like are they using the same oem or something
Well its not going to be that price anymore 😂
It’s $140 now 😂
I’m seeing it listed on Amazon for $105 currently, discounted from $138.99 normal price
@@ErikPelyukhno oh that sale wasn't happening when i looked at it. I guess it goes to show how often these types of monitors go on sale.
Calling it will be $200 in 2 weeks
2 wks later an I got it for 100$
FINALLY KOORUI IS GETTING IT'S HIGHLIGHT! it's a great brand that gives parts to big monitor brands and they ultimately decided to sell on their own for the same quality with less price!
you should definitely review their 27E1Q
how do they profit?
@@ko-DaeguThey profit from orders like from asus, aoc, msi, acer, etc. And with them releasing this monitor would make panel customers gain more interest and they would order more panels. So even if they sold this on break even, they still profited
@@ko-Daegu The question is how did they profit before, because certainly asus aoc msi acer can negotiate lower price when they order a million units? I bet they make more selling directly to consumer even at vastly lower prices because consumer has no negotiating power.
@@jprice_ When a big brand orders a large volume of panels (or any other components/products), they often receive a lower price per unit due to economies of scale. This concept applies across various industries, including electronics, where the cost of producing each unit (such as a display panel) decreases as the quantity produced increases. The reasons behind this include:
1. Fixed Costs Distribution: Fixed costs, such as machinery, factory setup, and initial R&D, are spread over a larger number of units, reducing the cost per unit.
2. Negotiating Power: Larger orders give the buyer more negotiating power with suppliers, often leading to better terms and lower prices.
3. Operational Efficiencies: Producing larger quantities can lead to more efficient production processes, further reducing costs.
When a company is able to reduce its costs through such measures, it has more flexibility in its pricing strategy. Selling a larger volume of products at a lower margin can still result in a higher overall profit compared to selling a smaller volume at a higher margin per unit. This approach can also have other benefits, such as gaining market share, outcompeting rivals, and establishing a product as a standard or leader in its category.
However, it's important to note that this strategy depends on the company's ability to sell the larger volume of products. If the market demand doesn't support the higher volume, the company could end up with excess inventory and associated costs. Thus, businesses need to carefully balance production volumes, pricing strategies, and market demand to maximize profitability.
These are basic principles of economies of scale and pricing strategies in manufacturing and retail.
Nice to see you do more budget oriented content.
it would be interesting to see what kind of budget experience we can expect from qhd monitors from similar brands
Yeah I am hoping to see some sub $175 qhd 144hz
@@elliothammer9485 Usually are stuck with VA for that price, even from Koorui. Gotta get up to $210ish to start hitting IPS. At least when it isn't on a Prime Day sale. And you hit $230-240 and you've got a Gigabyte G27Q.
The same Amazon listing as this monitor also has a 27 inch 1440p 144 hz monitor from them for like $200
@@jamesjohnXII yeah that one is a VA panel not IPS.
@@eboethrasher Would be worth to pay a bit more and get Dell G2724D over Gigabyte G27Q?
I was looking at 1440p monitors on Prime Day and didn't buy any cause I wasn't familiar with some of the brands, or reviews of familiar ones had some bad issues on the UFO test. It'd be cool to see a version of this video for 1440p in the like sub $250 ish range
I second this
I was able to get two 1440p monitors 27inch with 144hz (170hz OC) IPS with Free Sync Premium for $185 each. Super good deal on prime day.
The model was a Acer Nitro XV272U Vbmiiprx 27"
@@Ace-vl9sc I thought about those but saw a couple of bad things about them I think. I just ended up getting an M27Q Pro that showed up at NewEgg right after Prime Day for $299, same as the normal M27Q.
Get the Lenovo G27qc-30
really like when these kinds of videos are posted. sure, seeing all the high budget stuff is fun, but not everyone has (or is willing) to spend all that money on the best and newest. so showcasing these budget options is pretty nice for the rest of us
Those motion graphics you do everytime you explain something are getting better and better this is really high quality stuff
Thank you.
This is what really bugs me about Australian content creators that do tech. Never informing "prices for the current country you are based in" I understand that the majority of your audience is either US or EU but don't leave out the best country that you live in.
For those interested, the Pixio is currently $135. MSRP is $170
edit: Includes a $34 coupon
Was also part of a lightning deal so it was basically $68 off for a few hours yesterday. 👀
@@jeff_stephen haha yeah yeah thats what i was talking about. you can still get the coupon, but the $30 sale should be over now
fun fact koorui is the company that makes all the monitor screens for asus strix, msi, gigabyte etc. but they decided to make their own monitors. thats why we started seeing koorui monitors everywhere on amazon now
Gigabyte was using a Sharp panel in the M27Q so I'm pretty sure it wasn't them. Also, KTC makes monitors for people including MSI too, so I don't think they are sharing the same clients.
@@eboethrasher Just because they used Sharp for one model, doesn't mean they don't use Koorui in others...
Would like to see a 240hz budget monitor recommendation. Have looked around but haven't seen any objective reasons to get one over the other.
I started replacing my monitors last month and found this brand. I’ve got two and it felt like I was getting away with murder. For what you’re getting there wasn’t a better price
Dude is buff asf, and the best tech youtuber, always comes here for the right recommendations
I got a Koorui 27in 165hz for about $160-170 about a year ago and it's been great! The stand was also significantly better than what you showed it came with in this video
It still works fine?
@@alexisgarcia3365 yes it still works great, but it's been taking off of Amazon for a while now
i got this exact one and its great been using for like 2 months now and no issues. Still need a stand though as even optimum said it takes alot of space and its kinda weak@@alexisgarcia3365
£179 in the UK, the link in the description is the 24E4 not the 24E3
I think Dell's 1080p 240Hz monitor (forgot the exact model, S2522HG?) is on sale for $150 now and then. That's the closest I can think of in terms of the bigger brand's similar offerings.
The competition in this price range just seems to be increasingly fierce, which is a great thing.
bro you are buff asf, couldn't focus on the review cuz of those canons. keep up the great work.
By strange coincidence, just this week I started seeing ads for this exact monitor as Amazon banners on Twitch (those ones that briefly squish the stream without stopping it). Or perhaps it's not coincidence and their marketing push has just reached both of us at the same time 😅
Koorui is a brand created by HKC, third largest display manufacturer in china, who in turn also created display for others too (ASUS,MSI,etc). so they can charge much cheaper price compared to those others too, a bit like NVIDIA FE vs AIB situation.
Can you compare the KOORUI 34E6UC VS. LG UltraGear 34GN850P-B?
1:16 Yeah the monitor is cool and all but...that INSANE pulse bomb stick tho.
Hats off to you not only for sticking to OW2 with B roll, but also for being inexplicably good at it
And this man just cut away the footage like that stick was no biggie haha
awesome monitor aside, love the hair sir optimum prime !
I got mine the other on Prime Day Lightning Deal for $115 CAD ($85 US DOLLARS). I am impressed. I wanted something that was IPS and 144hz and was looking to spend $175 but I saved $60 and this monitor looks and performs just as good as my main Asus VG249Q1A which is 24" 165Hz 1080p IPS.
Have you ran into any issues with the $115 CAD monitor so far?
@@oh6061 Nope. Gaming on it rn at 165hz. Such a good monitor
I've bought the Koorui 24E3 on sale for 139$C on sale here in Canada for my son's birthday. I didn't trust that brand, so I also ordered the Viewsonic VX2428 for 159$C, which was also a great deal as it turned out. I had those two monitor set up side by side and they were very similar in all the tests, but color accuracy was much worse on the Koorui, despite it's advertised SRGB mode faces had an orange tint and colors were a little more washed out. That and the fact that the monitor settings and options were more flashed out on the Viewsonic made me send back the Koorui. Nonetheless for the money it was still a good gaming monitor.
139 on sale? I bought mine for $119 CAD on prime day
@@SystemBotand how long ago was that? How is it going now?
@@Maqxa look it up yourself lmao
@@Maqxa115 rn
I've had the Pixio PX248PS for about 2 years now and really couldn't find much to complain about other than the prong-like monitor stand, which gets in the way of some mouse movement. Other than that I've noticed picture quality and responsiveness is extremely competitive for the price.
Yep, this brand is very popular in china and now its tryna dominate indonesian market.
i ABSOLUTELY hate this man for his handsomeness, intellgence, muscle and down to earth personaility.
Koorui also has a 1440P monitor. Definitely worth checking out. Would love to hear your inputs on it. :D
165hz? Made me wish I hadn’t bought a 4080😭
Pretty cool to see you reviewing some budget stuff. Your channel is definitely high tier stuff usually and great for top budget recommendations, so a switch back to some of the casual gamers is refreshing! Like always, great video Ali.
There a dozens of Koorui of monitors on Amazon and I’m finding it nearly impossible to figure out if it’s a 24e3 or not. How can I tell?
Hey man love your content. Is there anyway you could start including the minimum brightness for each monitor you review as well? It's super helpful to light sensitive folks like myself.
Please review the Koorui GP01. It's 1440p 165hz 23.8inch monitor under $200!
I wish they had something like that @1440, but this is insane. I am thinking about getting one just because. Just to have it for my steam deck or my buddy when he drops by...whatever, it seems great.
KOORUI does actually have a 1440p monitor check it out ;)
The hair! sheesh so slick 💯
i just got a lg 24gn60r and its been really good so far apparently is a refresh of the 24gn600 and uses the same panel so i just used a colour profile and the settings from a video about the 24gn600 and the colours and display looks really good also the mbr works pretty well with almost no ghosting
anyone has the 27 inch qhd 144hz (or 170hz) ips monitor from koorui? is it good too? goes in germany for 250€
the motion graphics work in your videos already was good but im seeing those little extra touches! great stuff
You should try the Samsung Odyssey G4 its IPS and 240hz for 200€ here in Europe
Lets hope it stays at this quality level. They could sell this monitor for that price for the next months and then slowly start to lower the quality, while retaining the good name and reviews.
I got a 180 hz 24 inch curved for 110$ new
Ever since I got my setup, I’ve always used the monitor stand that the monitor came with. Same with my second monitor. But that monitor mount that you have was one of the best choices I could’ve made because holy, it frees up so much and I can move it however I want. Got 2 of the instantly! Thank you!
I hope the Nintendo Switch Successor's pannel is at least 75hz or I might find myself using emulators with bought games more. Especially when top of the line 1080p phone screens are like $10 to manufacturer
4:03 I like how you synced "throw it on" with the tracer pulse bomb throw
ill wait for the koorui Oled 2k wlmb gsync 225 bucks..
They're planning on releasing an oled monitor?
@@FrowningTaco I was just joking. but Im sure that in 1 years time there will be better monitors for less again... and again..
At about 14,000 rupees ($170), The Gigabyte G24F 2 is a 165hz (180hz OC) monitor with a coverage of 95% of the dcip3 colour space. Could you have a look at that too?
That amount is about 125% of the srgb colour space. Edit: It's the g24f 2, not the g24f
G24F2 is super slow tho. Monitors Unboxed/Hardware Unboxed reviewed it recently and it's a terrible monitor for just gaming
how about the koorui GP01, with 2k resolution and 165hz?
Love your reviews it would be cool if you talked about the low brightness preference or just how low their brightness goes while still looking good
Hello is the monitor you tested really an IPS? Because from the link u provided it says its a VA panel...
loving the consistency
Hey Optimum, could you tell us what you have settled with recently in terms of high end monitors? The 240Hz OLED PG27AQDM or the 360Hz IPS PG27AQN? Would love to hear your thoughts I still can't decide :)
In the video he said he mains 240hz OLED so..
He made a vid about it sometime ago - he prefers the newer 360hz monitors with the special blur reduction tech for gaming alone
Hes already done an indepth comparison, hes also said in this and a couple of previous videos he mains the oled.
@@sako2874 but still uses the oled version so.. :D
I had a first gen Alienware 360hz, but I sold it when I got an Alienware 165hz oled - oled is just that much better for motion clarity
can you review the gigabyte g24f2 please
Love the review as always, any chance we’ll see charts for click to flash latency / input lag for monitors in future videos? 👀
Keep up the great work, this monitor seems like a great budget beast 🙏
The Pixio 24 Pro is $100 RIGHT NOW on Amazon. Crazy deals lately!!!
Just a PSA that if it seems too good to be true chances are because it is for one reason or another. Some considerations:
- Cooling (yes, monitors need cooling and some neglect it entirely and allow the unit to die within 3 years)
- Customer support (if it becomes defective, how long and how much will it take to RMA it)
- Defective pixel count (may source lower-binned panels with a higher chance of defective pixels, which won't be covered by warranty), the list goes on. Just be careful!
from the amazon link, it says its a VA panel
I’m fortunate enough to have a $800+ monitor, but I’m happy that a $115 monitor can be soooo good and soooo cheap for those starting out their gaming journey! This is what pc prices would be around not $1k+ USD gpus, $600+ USD CPUs and we all know these parts should be selling for about 50-60% of these prices with still good margins for manufacturers
even the literally best CPUs aren't 600$ 🤷
I come for the reviews, but stay for the muscles 🥺
I got a used Omen 24 (or 25) for 100$ 2 years ago for playing fast-paced FPS. I don't use it for work because of the crappy colors and brightness. If I had this one I would use this to work probably
Love your videos, but when are you going to drop your diet and fitness routine? Lol
Can you do a video about laptop screens? Ulmb motion blur ghosting etc?
Ali, would you review this monitor's bigger brother, the 24" 1440p 165Hz monitor from Koorui?
I actually just bought their 27 in 144hz 1440p monitor the other day for 160$ I think. It is a VA panel but for that price I couldn't be bothered by it.
how is it?
i would be very interested in a test of this one
@@Canary420 It's arriving today so i will update you on it.
@@SexyEarHair Do you know if they have larger size ? seems like you got a good deal, hope it works out for you. Also great username 😁😁
@@PaulJohn01 As far as I know, 27 is the biggest they have besides and ultra wide that is 34in I believe.
Please could you also test the 27 inch 144hz 1440p VA Panel Monitor from them
oh damn, even available in germany. very cool
My friend has a koorui monitor and it recently died. It should be still in warranty however they havent gotten back to him about the RMA. So yeah the monitor might be good however the company doesn't stand behind their product.
How's the 1440p one?
I have seen this brand offering a lot of cheap monitors that look too good to be true but I thought they were bad quality
Got one for $85 on sale here in Philippines! Good thing I researched and bumped into this video
The pixio is $101 right now
Koorui is very popular in China, the company was established in 2021, and took over the Chinese gaming community by storm, due to how much value their monitors offer.
Really like how the product was reviewed! Can you consider checking out the koorui gno6? I'm deciding to take this 24e3 or the gno6 (27" 1080p, ips).
Optimum tech videos should be one for the best series on Netflix or something… at least thats how the videos feel like
Your hair keeps getting better per video dammm
You already know it’s gonna be a good day when Optimum Posts🔥
never seen a 7:58 video, (who knows it knows it)
110 USD here in Japan. Thanks for putting this on my radar.
I saw this a few weeks ago when looking for a cheap monitor. Settled for acer EK220Q, because I can't find a good review and never heard of koorui. Now this video dropped :(
It’s good day when optimum tech upload a video 🎉❤
Great review! I hope you can also review SAMSUNG Odyssey G4 240hz ($220) to compare to these bargain monitors.
My colors seem really orange/green and saturated but maybe its just my panel
Perfect timing, I just bought one recently. Yeah, I was surprised by how good this monitor was for £100 (prime discount) uk.
That was the best explanation of why response time is important I've heard to date. Kinda makes me sad that the wife could have gotten this, but she snagged a Vewsonic 24'' panel from Prime Day for £85. Its 75hz, 1080p but the colours are meh and the response time is... well it's gotta be up around 6-7ms.
I believe Koorui is the OEM for a lot of other monitor brands, just like KTC is for LG etc.
Great video, but I was wondering if you could make a video about monitors with a glossy screen surface or very light anti-glare coating that have minimal layering for image clarity and provide recommendations.
109.99 on amazon. I need to replace my security monitor that crapped out. This is perfect with the price point
If you havent tried the Sceptre E275B-QPT168, you should give it a shot and see how it is. It's a 1440p 165hz monitor that I got on amazon for 199$.
here in Indonesia, we can get that koorui monitor for just 1,6 million rupiah, which was JUST AROUND $107 USD (and it's sold on official store)
but that's not even the craziest thing ever happens, because Koorui is orignally "internal brand" for HKC, which was a giant semiconductor display industries in china, can SELL THAT MONITOR UNDER $100 USD in china!
many brands like MSI/Asus etc get their panel frok HKC, and then tune in & make another RnD to make the better panel, Meanwhile Koorui not doing that advanced tuning, so they can sells way lower prices
babe wake up new optimum tech video
my brother and i have both been using korrui for a while and i was wondering when people would realize how good they are
It's a shame that I didn't found you earlier. Your Thumbnails and Video shots are so aesthetic. GG
It's currently $101 on amazon in the US right now. Absolutely insane
Monitor Chad always with the best deals.
They do a 27inch QHD for £158 which is an INSANE price, please possibly look into reviewing that one.
I was genuinely curious about this brand floating around in the Asian market, glad to see it's actually a decent product. Although I'm particularly interested in their 27E1Q 1440p monitor for around $200 US.
Good value, too bad both of them are not available in eu
It’s insane what you get nowadays. I would really like to see more vids about budget stuff. Love your content
