Hello, how can we turn on the freesync in this monitor?
@@ismailerenkaraca4881 It should be in the AMD Radeon software. I don't use a Radeon card but it seems like common sense.

Help pls..who is better monitor GAEZ or GAJ??
Started off watching one of ur vids pure for the info of that one monitor, now im stuck watching all of your reviews, theyre soo good :)
Thank you :)

What an in depth guide, im impressed. Love you, keep up the good work
Thanks, will do! Subscribe if you haven't already :)
I just bought this monitor and have been playing on it for a couple weeks. For console gaming on the next gen consoles 120 FPS showed 0 ghosting and great full colours. everything was brilliant and there is nothing to worry about when buying this. Design was clean and showed little bleeding. I would recommend this to anyone looking for budget monitors for next gen gaming.
Thanks for sharing.
are the speakers good
@@spenser_the_nord6137 I have used the speakers a little but wouldn’t recommend them as your only source of audio. They are mediocre at best and you should probably invest in a headset or speakers instead.
@@Shiggins69X ok so if i put in a wireless headset it would work?
@@spenser_the_nord6137 Yh should be all good
Good video buddy, just got this monitor good to know everything you've said. I haven't had too many issues with it, there is not a cheaper 144hz I could find.
Thanks bud; enjoy :)
there is actually
hello , how is it after 3 years using?
@silastithing6897 Is it still good and worth buying??
Yes @@rejizor
Thank you for reviewing that monitor . I hesitate between that Philips and the Iiyama G2470HSU-B1 . My actual monitor is an old Philips 248X3LFHS still going strong after a decade so Philips is a serious and reliable brand . That 242E1GAJ has a separate power supply which is interesting as it can be replaced by a generic one if it breaks . I hesitate only because you said the colors are a bit washed out . I don't need striking fast response time as I don't do gaming so I will perhaps go for it . Cheers .
Pleasure, glad you found the review useful. Do consider the alternatives in the description!
For washed out looking colors, you could try turning up saturation on the monitor with nvidia control panel or anything that can customize the monitor settings beside the menu built into it.
You could try to artificially boost the image, at the expense of even worse accuracy... Or just get a monitor that doesn't have such an issue :D
@@TotallydubbedHD didn’t know it made it worse, doesn’t matter to me though, anyway I bought it knowing that it wouldn’t be so great because of its price, it was the cheapest one on Amazon right now that was actually in stock, I would’ve gotten an aoc but those doubled in price and arrive next year.
@@kekigenkai64 yeah fair enough! Enjoy :)
I’ve just bought this monitor for warzone and I’m happy with it as I only paid £150 on sale, I’ve turned the MPRT on but can’t adjust the level, I’ve also put the smart response to fast as like you say it ghosts when on faster,
What would you put the gamma too?
I'd leave the gamma as it is; enjoy! :)
Perfect review! Mine is getting shipped in 3 days, can't wait
Glad it helped!
@@TotallydubbedHD yeah thanks again
@@enzou so is it good? Is ghosting a real problem?
@@justtrappin-vii-7207 as long as you don't use the max overdrive mode you will experience no ghosting
@@enzou hi I just ordered this monitor and My expectations is not super high since I only want to play valorant 144 hz without any problem and I watch some movies everyday. you got any problems with this monitor ?
Hi! I’ve been checking out monitors and I’ve found the Phillips 242M8. It appears to have almost identical specs to the monitor being reviewed in the vid except that it is an IPS panel instead of VA. Would that upgrade significantly improve the monitor? Would it negatively impact response times? Great review btw
Thanks! IPS are generally faster, but I can't comment on a different panel that I've not reviewed. Might be worse or better, no idea!
@@TotallydubbedHD alright, thanks for the quick reply :)
@@BobSmith-yp5mk no worries don't forget to drop a like and sub :)
Subbed. Good content
Thanks :)
Bought the 27inch version. So far so good the only problem is the stand is a little bit sideway.
Also to get rid of the ghosting switch to 120hz instead of 144 and ghosting is minimal.
Thanks for sharing
indeed thanks for sharing!!
Was the ghosting more noticeable when switching to MPRT? Nice review btw
Thanks bud! Actually less noticeable with MRT on max, but that could also be the fact that the monitor is dimmer in that mode haha
I had a problem with the ghosting on this monitor and this video really helped me out!
Glad I could help bud :)
Good review.
Thank you!
Hi! You are perfect! I bought this monitor
for a while. Can you help with settings for max efficiency to use it?
Thanks! Best checking my video for the settings, not much more I can add.
Hey man can u tell me your impression about this monitor?I really want budget monitor and i like this.And did u recommend it to me?
8:30 I tested the monitor with the UFO ghosting test and I saw less black smearing with the highest setting, does that mean it has less ghosting or is inverse ghosting an entirely different thing?
From my understanding that's the same thing, but smearing is usually associated with VA panels. Nevertheless, you should see MORE when you go up the overdrive settings, not the opposite (no matter how good/bad the monitor is)
what is the best settings for this monitor for the osd and nvidia control panel
i just got it a few hours ago and i have always been using a ips panel but i have downgraded and just wondering how close it can look to an ips panel tyyyy
OSD settings are covered in the video, incl gaming ones too
Great review thank you! I have a question if you can help me. Does the audio out works with headphones alone? Because im getting no sound at all from anywhere. Thank you!
It has built-in speakers, so it should output audio without headphones! Glad you liked the review
@@TotallydubbedHD thank you very much for your reply. And yes it does. I have a playstation3 connected to it and the sound problem was that i have it going through a video card for recording and that wasn't allowing the sound to reach the monitor but works fine without it. Actually works with it too i just have to use the video card audio output. Noob question sorry LOL
@@kiliq haha no worries
Thank you for your nice review of the various monitors. I would like your opinion on the competing model that is in the same price range as this one and i am referring to the Samsung Odyssey
G32A S24AG320NU VA Gaming Monitor 24" FHD 1920x1080 165Hz.
Not tried that model, so can't comment. But check the description for my recommendations! Glad you liked the review.
hey mate , is it better to cross the advantage of g-sync or MPRT, since they cannot be activated at the same time.
and on which lvl do you recommend that I put an MPRT of 0-10 thanks :)
Really depends as to the type of gamer you are; g-sync for casual; MBR for comp gaming - but the latter limits brightness as per the review.
how do you get the speakers to work?
would you prefer this over the AOC 24G2U for PS5? I'm not a competitive gamer. All I want is better speed (120fps etc). Also does it give 120fps on ps5?? thanks
I'd say for the PS5 get the BenQ EX2510, due to its limited support of HDR
Thanks for the great review. A couple questions if I may 1) Will that model be different from Philips 242E1GAEZ? 2) I am looking for an external monitor to my Lenovo P53 in USD 200 - 300 range, 24" size, half time gaming, the other half - video editing (I am a student). What I don't like about inexpensive IPS display models is the glow and bleed effects, so am tempted to try 8 bit FHD *VA (for its black and contrast). For true color accuracy, I believe, an IPS display of much higher price range is required.. So, would be grateful for any recs to fit my specs ! Merry Christmas!
Glad you liked it!
1. That model has a different stand, but is otherwise identical
2. That's fair enough, but my experience with the one mentioned in this video (and linked in the description) is spectacularly good. Given the colour accuracy of this one isn't great, I wouldn't suggest it for video editing. You really should look into the AOC 24G2U. Altern actively, if you're fixated on VA, look into the slightly more impressive C24G2U (VA, curved).
Very nice review. This monitor does run at g-sync or only free-sync?
Thanks. It's a FreeSync monitor, but presume you've watched my video on G-Sync?
Yes I have an Nvidia graphics card. I'm interesting for cheap g sync monitor with sport. The Phillips is OK ?
@@user-defined76890 it's not a G-Sync monitor. Watch the video, and also ensure you understand how it works on FreeSync
is there any latency advantage on 240hz over 144hz or it's just extra hz ?
Suggest you watch this tbh: th-cam.com/video/3-kdB496GHE/w-d-xo.html
my built in speaker is not working, how to fix?
How do you take off the stand, i cant find any screws
pls can you advise what wil lbe better for work with text, fonts and video ACER Nitro VG270UP (UM.HV0EE.P01) (144 Hz 2k) or Philips 275S1AE/00 (75Hz 2k). I do not understand monitors properly and would appreciate some advice.
The Philips you're asking about isn't the one reviewed, but the Acer is good!
I am buying Rtx 3060 ti intel 12400f should I buy this one
litle question im from germany and i dont know much about monitors. what does AMD FreeSync mean . Like when i hear amd i think about amd ryzen and does it work then only on amds Graphic cards
(sorry im not good in writing)
It's to do with the graphics card, not your processor. In a nutshell, gives you a tear free gaming experience. My suggestion would be to look it up for a detailed explanation on it, as it's hard to write it all down for you lol
Do you know what monitors would have the lowest minimum brightness for using a dark room?
I thought this would be good because of the high contrast va panel but it doesn't get blacks as dark as my ips macbook because the brightness doesn't go low enough.
I have software that can dim the screen digitally but it can't make blacks darker.
I thought a high contrast monitor would be good for this but actually the minimum brightness of black is more important.
You'll have to look though my reviews and check the brightness figures shared in them, can't think of one from the top of my head as most do get pretty dim (30-60 nits), for example this BenQ: th-cam.com/video/CmznD1TB_3E/w-d-xo.html
Note, comparing your glossy IPS screen with pretty much anything that has a matte coating (ie all consumer monitors), is going to be unfair. That iMac screen is excellent to look at for many reasons. The blacks are darker than any other IPS screen due to its coating and its contrast is impressive too - competing with VAs, but rather VAs have a bit of clouding thus their contrast will be superior, but to the human eye will look washed out Vs a regular IPS, let alone an iMac display.
Hope that explains things for you.
@@TotallydubbedHD So would a va never look dark enough because of the clouding you mentioned?
And I never thought about the finish is that important to get it to look the darkest? Or could a matte still look as dark if the screen is dim enough? What about semi-gloss?
I am used to mac screens and I never even realized there was a difference until now.
I found an older AMVA monitor that gets very dark blacks around 0.01 cd/m2 and is glossy: (Dell S2440L).
(or there's similar AMVA monitors that aren't glossy)
I also could get a Eizo EV2456 on ebay which according to the Eizo website can dim the screen brightness to 1 cd/m². It's a matte IPS. I couldn't find the how dark the blacks were for it but it's the dimmest monitor I've found by far.
So basically, I'm not sure if VA or IPS would look the darkest in a dark room (with software dimming it further) and also if the screen coating makes a big enough difference that I should choose a glossy monitor (which I do like better but they're uncommon).
@@timm3097 quite a lot of questions here:
-Yes in opinion, an IPS will look 'darker' in some scenarios - really depends on the panel (incl VA)
-Yes the finish is important; matte can never compete with glossy
-A more pro-orientated monitor would be a good bet (ie Eizo) vs consumer grade
Do you get your samples directly from manufacturers? I'm asking because I bought the AOC 24G2 and I went through 4 units, 2 from Amazon and 2 replacements from AOC directly and they all had QC issues. All 4 had different color calibration(some of them looked really bad), varying levels of uniformity(some looked pink out of the box instead of white), some had no BLB, others had massive amounts and all of them had pieces of dust stuck inside the screen.
Needless to say, I gave it up on that monitor. I might give this one a try since I find IPS glow quite bothersome and I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means. I do more casual gaming, and movie watching so hopefully this is okay.
I get them directly via the manufacturers. Sorry to hear your bad experience :(
I have an ips 75hz samsung monitor, is this gonna be waay better due to the 144hz or should i keep using the samsung and save for the AOC? in my country this one is 150usd and the aoc is like 260
Hard to say, but the added frames will make a positive difference, that's for sure
hi and let me ask one advice. what about AOC 24G2U IPS 23.8 (179.90€) vs AOC 27G2U IPS 27 (219.90€) vs Asus TUF Gaming VG249Q IPS 23.8 (209.90€)? among aoc imjust "affraid" that extra 3 inches gets messy with resolution? currently i have one hp w1907v lcd, so it is a big upgrade. ty and keep the good work
Indeed, less ppi at the higher panel size when at the same resolution. I would personally pick the 24G2U.
@@TotallydubbedHD there is any other similar monitor that you recomend a little better than 24G2U? Around 200 to 230 pounds. Ty once again
@@Helder_Paulo nope, that's the one I'd get.
I have 60hz cpt monitor should i buy this one for csgo?
Hello, I have this monitor you are reviewing, however I don't understand 1 thing. MPRT settings can go from 0 - 20. What is the optimal number here for gaming. I noticed the larger the number the more dim the screen is. Please help.
Also this monitor has ghosting when i scroll fast on dark backgrounds. Like my head hurts because all the letters become fuzzy during scrolling.
That's correct. There's no right or wrong setting. It's for you to adjust the best for you. Ghosting was covered in this video too via overdrive.
Bro did u find the best mprt settings for gaming?
Hey dude i bought this cause monitor could you help me with the options?I play 2 games at a reaally high level and i need the reaponse time with low ghosting what would be the optimal settings for that?
Suggest watching my video.
nice video. But how do such monitors show themselves if you play with 60fps? few videos on other models on TH-cam. I'm trying to find 1080p as good as possible for ~200$. 24"-27"
Didn't try this one at 60hz, but equally don't really see why you'd get such a monitor if you were running at 60hz?
@@TotallydubbedHD for dynamic action 144Hz would be useful
while 60fps in singles
well, the price in my stores for cheap 144hz monitors is very close to 75hz monitors
difference 30$
@@HarlyAlexandr doesn't really make any sense - why would you run it at 60hz when you've got the ability to run it higher.
@@TotallydubbedHD the ability to give out 140+fps on my PC is only in eSports games. CS:GO and similar
GTX 1660 oc video card
I do not mind buying a monitor with a frequency of 75. I will not improve the PC for a long time. From 144 monitors, I'm wondering how it will be better compared to 75. I have not yet found unequivocal answers. Someone claims that in single player games where I play with 60 frames, artifacts will occur. Others say that even 40 frames will be smoother than on a 75 monitor. And something else about color, color rendering is supposedly better.
@@HarlyAlexandr most of that sounds wrong - you'll get a more fluid experience even on your desktop going from 60hz to 144hz.
Is there a way to reduce or remove the black border? Feels like the display isn't being filled all the way.
Nope!
thanks i am about to buy this but after u said that aoc is better for competitive game i am starting to doubt my decision. my current monitor is still 60hz and tried to switch to better 144 hz monitor for valorant
Indeed, I'd suggest the AOC in the description.
Can I ask a question? I know this is 3500:1 4ms, but I found another Dell monitor which is 1000:1 1ms. Is 1000:1 really that bad compared to 3500:1???
Don't just rely on marketing specs; but yes - a TN (presumably) won't be anywhere near as good in contrast ratio as a VA
hi. can you compare this with Asus VP249QGR ? which one would you prefer ?
Not tried the Asus, so no idea
Hello bro thanks for your video and content helping me, but I have 1 question, when I play games like apex legends or valorant, when I see a something dark when I'm moving the image is blurry do you know if is normal? Is something with timming response?, I like fps games and this monitor disappointing me, it's strange screen with "144 hz 1ms" and when I pass on dark sides the images when I'm moving is blurry and flickering
And is something with times response? Because I change for off fastest etc and nothing change
that's probably the overdrive - thus should be a difference when you're on off vs on the fastest overdrive setting (which is aimed at lowering response time).
As mentioned in the video wasn't overly impressed but for the price, it's acceptable.
@@TotallydubbedHD I see on the internet after 1 day long searching and browser the problem in this monitor is smearing e put this screen back and I get the hp 24x I prefer pay more and have a decent thing

nice review, i have the philips 242e1gaez i cant turn on the free sync premium, it has only VRR and has a 1.4 hdmi port, do i need to buy new hdmi 2.0 cable to turn on the freesync premium? or do i need to connect with dp? .. thanks.
What GPU do you have?
HDMI versions shouldn't be the issue here, and DP would be ideal too especially if you have an NV GPU.
Glad you liked the review!
@@TotallydubbedHD I have the Ryzen 5 3400G with integrated graphics
Can you do a tutorial how to activate the free sync premium on this monitor please and what you need to activate it
@@lexys6654 then you don't have access to it, as you need a GPU for freesync/G-Sync
Does anyone know if you can get a replacement screen for it because I punched it when I got mad
Haha, wow
I have the Philips "242E1GA" (without the J, different stand) and I just can't tolerate it. For better view I have to be more than 1 meter away. Originally when I bought it, I was on windows 10 and I build a 2 monitor setup. I feel like it has too much brightness and the colors feels like flourescents. When I synced with the 2nd monitor it felt much better, but far away from perfect. Now I'm on Windows 11 and no longer have the second monitor setup (but I still have the same two monitors) and I changed graphic card and the new one doesnt have DVI (the one my AOC IPS use) so I had to re use this monitor again.
It works great with movies and series, for games it's "ok", but for working on Windows I just hate it.
Can you recommend me a nice monitor under $300 ?
Check the description for my suggestions!
@@TotallydubbedHD Do you know if the AOC 27G2 is the "same" as the 24G2U ? Amazon says its the 27" of the 24G2U and it's cheaper (in my country the 24G2U is around $260usd and the 27" is $240usd). I may be willing to spend up to $400usd, I've seen that there are some 32" 2k 144hz monitors around that price (the LG 32GN650-B $387 and the Gigabyte G32QC $395, the samsung odyssey g5 for $400), although at this point, I just want my eyes to feel relaxed, a thing that I can't with this philip, that feels like it has too much light even with low brightness (its probably about that high contrast ratio that you talked about, I don't know).
@@LuisCastillo-jo8kq yes they're the same panel, but obviously different size.
It's a FHD panel, but if you've got the budget and a decent GPU you could look into 1440p, my favourites: th-cam.com/video/tGH3SJpoOAQ/w-d-xo.html

Did you test the colour accuracy on the sRGB mode?

I'll never take payment for any form of review. Why would you think this was paid lol; did you even bother watching the review?

NIce review....Just wonder if you could help me choose between that monitor, BenQ EW2480, saw your review also, and a dell monitor S2421HS (no review for this :)
The thing is that i don't care about games, is just for home use, mostly web surfing, multitasking etc....No gpu, only an intel i5 10400 with integrated graphics on asrock deskmini h470.
I guess benq and dell looks better monitor for home use and maybe for eye care, but i wanna try an 144hz monitor as i always been on 60hz. Some users says that is smoother in every use even if you don't use it for games...I will realy appreciate you opinion...Thanks and sorry because English is not my first language....Steve
Having a higher refresh rate does make a difference, even on the desktop, however, I'd say getting a 1440p 60-75hz would be better suited for you than going 144hz. What's your budget?

@@kohwuah then yes I guess it's fine as a starting point; if you got more of a budget, maybe look at the C24G2U (144Hz VA); bit better than this Philips, but not as good as the 24G2U (144hz IPS).
you said it has a speaker whenever i max the volume out i still can’t hear anything?
Maybe you have a different model
Nice
even after calibrating it with spyderX are the colours somewhat better? or is it not worth calibrating this monitor?
Calibrating will help, but I never do in my reviews. I'm testing out of the box performance.
@@TotallydubbedHD im thinking of getting an Philips 24M1N3200VA, apparently the srgb is 125% adobe 88% and 96 ntsce while being 24inch and 1080p with 165hz. ive been told 1080 in anything bigger than 24inch is bad because the pixels will be alot wider and noticable. your thoughts?

What do you think about the new zowie xl2411k? Will you try it?
No idea yet but, will see if BenQ reach out to me lol.
Can I use it for ps5
Hi. I have this monitor and i bought xbox series s and hdmi 2.1 and i can't get the 120 fps mode do i need to buy a specific cable? Does someone know??
Check the port version of the monitor.
@@TotallydubbedHD hi i talked with discord supporters and they found out i have the 75 hz version of this monitor so my bad..
Thanks for the respond and very nice review👍🏻
@@ofiryotam2853 no worries
i bought this monitor yesterday but the speakers does not work, i have updated the drivers and all
Does the monitor have speakers...?
will this be an upgrade from 75hz to use for competitive gaming?
Yes and no. In terms of refresh rate, yes. In terms of input lag and response time, I'd invest more
Would it be any portable with car ?
Those are called Laptops.
What is approximately the length of the cables that came with it?
Around 2m
@@TotallydubbedHD thx for your reply!
@@doublej6229 no worries!
Thai Monitor is just Perfect I love it 😍
Glad you're enjoying it!
Is it good for Valorant
hi! I'm new here, just bought the same monitior
I'm using NVIDIA, but i can't manage to find the 144hz options?
its only maxed on 120hz, how did you get to 144hz?
*also im buying new HDMI cable it says that it can be maxed my FPS to 144 but it still can't
someone please help me if got the time to replied this, really appreciated
also good review man! thx
That would seem to do with the port. Into what are you connected? A graphics card, which one? Use DisplayPort where possible. Could be that your HDMI version is old.
Watch this for more info: th-cam.com/video/daHrqIFieBU/w-d-xo.html
@@TotallydubbedHD heading into there right away, ill ask again if im still confused. cuz the display port on nvid setting only maxed on 120 also thats why im confuse.
time to watch the video u recommended, thx man!
@@cingpoyy np bro
@@TotallydubbedHD naaah it doesnt affected by proc/mobo or vga by my computer right? seems confusing how did the display port doesnt seem to afford 144hz
@@cingpoyy huh? DP should offer you the max refresh rate. If you have further issues, might be worth asking Philips for tech support.
PLEASE ANSWER,DOES THIS MONITOR SUPPORT 120FPS ON XBOX SERIES S
Most likely, more info: th-cam.com/video/tGH3SJpoOAQ/w-d-xo.html
I just got this screen and can clearly see pixels on grey/white and transparant colours. I tried all sorts of different settings and 2 different PCs. Any idea what can cause this or is this normal?
Could you take a pic and send it to me on Twitter/IG? Doesn't sound normal.
@@TotallydubbedHD Sorry I already returned it so I cannot take a picture anymore.
@@draxle176 lol no worries
Is this monitor perfect to hook up my ps5 and play games at 120hz
I'd suggest watching the video first. But, it'll run on your console.
Bro i have same monitor.. my monitor controls is locked i cant unlock can u help me?
Try holding down the OSD button, if that doesn't work, look on Google for the answer, I'm sure it'll be there (pretty much all Philips or AOC monitors will have the same function)
@@TotallydubbedHD i already tryed
does this monitor work with an xbox one s
Should do
Does this monitor have HDMI 2.0, Im buying this for my PS5 (please respond)
Won't need it, as it's a 1080p panel
@@TotallydubbedHD To run 120 FPS on games like Fortnite on a PlayStation 5 you require a monitor that is compatible with HDMI 2.0, and obviously the screen has to be above 120Hz. You haven't answered my question, does the monitor have an HDMI 2.0 port?
@@reborn1131 suggest you watch this video: th-cam.com/video/daHrqIFieBU/w-d-xo.html
Think you better understand why you would need HDMI 2.0; no this monitor does not have it - but that's irrelevant, as it doesn't need it, nor does the PS5 or ANY source device.
I don’t have a pc does this monitor run 144 hz with an Xbox series S and does this monitor support 2.1 hdmi
You don't need HDMI 2.1 at 1080p - suggest watching this video: th-cam.com/video/daHrqIFieBU/w-d-xo.html
Can this monitor run 120hz using an Xbox series s?
I just wanna play warzone at 120 hz or 144hz
Does IT support 120hz on the new Xbox series S ?
Presumably, yes
No
Thanks for the review. Will you suggest this monitor or the AOC for someone that wants to use it to play with playstation 4 and for everyday use with a mac mini?
I currently own a BenQ IPS but I definitely can see its limits with contrast and dark scenes using it with playstation 4 or watching a movie.
Is there a better office/gaming/ movies alternative you would suggest (for a similar budget)?
Thanks
I'd still suggest the AOC, but if you want a VA for that deeper contrast, I'd suggest looking at the AOC C24G2U (it's the curved VA 165hz)
Is that in backround 24 zoll monitor
So is this good for csgo
Can it do 120 Hz for PS5?
No idea, but probably
what cables does it need?
Should come included
does this monitor make 120fps on ps5 games that support them?
Probably, no idea!
@@TotallydubbedHD ok thanks
@@TotallydubbedHD @totallydubbedHD but with an hdmi 2.0 that has the playstation there is no certainty that it goes to 120 fps?
@@ilarioparato it's not the HDMI port version, it's if the monitor and console scale together. It should do. You don't need HDMI 2.0 for 1080p 120-144hz anyway
Are these monitors compatible with ps4 ?
Yes.
is there a DP cabel included?
Should be
