Cheap vs Expensive Monitor - Same Specs Different Price

[@EdmundSia]

Really underrated channel. Not only for its content (rare to find in depth monitor reviews) but also for the quality of the vids themselves (video, audio, etc).

[@olyanko]

Yes ! he hellped me chose my monitor :)

[@DeltaNovum]

Whenever I need to check out what monitor is worth in the price range of myself or anyone around me I check this channel. It's done incredibly well. Very informative and I really like that he actually tests a lot of different things others don't. I got the MSI OPTIX G241 because it had a very high contrast with decent ghosting for an IPS monitor that runs on 144hz which I can use with Nvidia G-Sync. My GTX 1080 pairs well with 1080p and a high refreshrate and I'm really happy with the screen quality.

Hello, I have no idea if you’ll reply but I was wondering if this same exact monitor has 120hz support for newer gen Xbox’s? I’ve been having trouble getting it to work but I still like this monitor. Thanks for any help Edit: mine is the 144hz version

[@alexp-de]

@@davidcastillo4938 Hello David, I don't own this exact monitor in the video, but the MSI G242. Therefore I can't answer your question sadly. Maybe try to get in touch with the MSI support for a definitive answer. If you want to keep this monitor, there is also a work around with an adapter, that "forces" 120Hz to work, I think it's called EVanlak - maybe it works for you.

6:00 it blows my mind that manufacturers can't get back light strobing (aka black frame insertion) right. It's their own circuitry that controls when one frame ends & the other begins, yet it seems none get it quite right. 6yrs ago, I bought an Asus monitor for $250 that could do 3D. A friggin' 3rd party app was made that effectively tricked it into doing BFI & it did it perfectly. I recently bought Gigabyte's M32U for $750 & am very disappointed in its bfi. very strong red ghost image. When I dart my eyes from one spot to another, I notice a slight redness wherever there's white out of the corner of my eye. I'm on the fence if it's even worth turning on bfi.

[@MultiSneakerLover]

It jus takes more money to get it right so they dont bother

Another interesting budget monitor to compare this Msi Optix G273QF to would be the VIOTEK GFI27DBXA. The VIOTEK GFI27DBXA is 27 inches, resolution of 2560x1440, 180hz that you can unofficially overclock to 240hz, 101% DCI-P3 coverage, 141% sRGB coverage, a BGR subpixel layout, 600 nits HDR (without local dimming), and runs for a shocking price range of $370 U.S. to $330 U.S. when on sale. I know a monitor with this high of specs at the sub $400 U.S. price range sounds like garbage, however “Tom’s Hardware” gave it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Hey there, I agree with @ThomasEdits. Tom's Hardware is not a great place for peripheral reviews. That monitor has little to no reviews outside of that one, and it seems to have QA issues judging from Amazon reviews. I'd go with something with reviews made by Hardware Unboxed, our man techless or PCMonitors.

[@vitor900000]

5:35 Idk if its the camera positioning but the image of the Acer one looks miles better than the MSI. But I don't thing its the camera because you can also see a difference on the colors of the alien shots 5:09. The Acer alien has more vivid colors. This might be fixable with calibration... The MSI looks like it has a green temperature baked into it.

[@hiharrison5029]

I am fairly certain, that you just pay for the acer logo. AOC CQ27G2U and MSI G273QF are 2 of the best budget gaming monitors. They both offer 1440p resolution, Msi has a refresh rate of 165hz while Aoc has 144hz and both offer you 1ms response time. If you're on a budget the aoc monitor would be best for you, because it come with a great monitor stand that is very adjustable. But if you are willing to spend a little more money the msi is also a great option.

[@reicinewsom1131]

Thanks!

[@user-nd6og8si9p]

The price difference is mainly due to the Predator having a 10 bit panel and not 8 bit like the Msi. I suspect you tested a defective Acer panel as mine could reach 88% Dci-p3 gamma volume color by only changing gamma to 2.4 with peak brightness 429 nits. Im sure user experience is different from panel to panel though. Either way, really nice review. Im sure the MSI is still a steal at that price of $289. I personally only paid $430 for my Predator.

[@javianbrown8627]

Could be a panel-to-panel difference. I remeber when looking at phones even things like the colour temperature between them would put me off even the same model. I tend to prefer a slightly warmer colour

[@RyhtymFiend]

You don't actually need a 10 bit panel if you aren't doing HDR though? Lol.

[@GraveUypo]

@@RyhtymFiend true. these don't even qualify for hdr400 specs anyway, which shouldn't even be an hdr spec because it's so stupid "un-hdr"-y

[@socialreport999]

@@GraveUypo Yes and no. Even SDR movies look better by switching to 10 bit, the gradient becomes visually smoother and shadows are clearer. It also happens in any videogames, the brightness 420-450 nits looks better than 350 or lower. This reviewer didn't test these monitors thoroughly. If l chose between a low HDR $400-450 monitor (not $500) vs SDR $300, I would probably pay the extra, $400-450 monitor in HDR (even low quality HDR 400) looks definitely better. Mini-led/OLED would be preferrable for a true HDR experience.

[@socialreport999]

I agree with you. Even for low quality HDR 400 it is worth paying the extra. It gives a visual difference in movies (even in SDR ones) and videogames. They look noticeably better.

[@YIENDEEN]

I wonder why the left monitor (cheap MSI ) looked way "greener" while the other had more soothing colors, is it just the perspective ??

[@derekvadneau]

I'm glad I'm not alone in noticing that. It was distracting. Based solely on the visuals in this video, I'd be buying the Acer. And I would feel justified in the price difference. At first I was wondering why didn't he calibrate them. Then I thought, maybe that's a lot to ask, but at least try to match them by eye (not always possible, believe me, I know). But then later in the video he's talking about colour calibration and how one can be tuned better. Then why are the monitors so different for all of the comparison shots?

[@staticbuilds7613]

The second I saw the predator text I knew which one was expensive Edit: the predator one looks brighter and probably have a better ACES colour range. This means that for anything art related it is more accurate with displaying correct colours. Unless you are doing professional art, 3D or game design it probably won't matter but for creative applications having a more accurate colour screen will be best

[@LoftBits]

Just a regular 'brand engineering' and 'OEM magic' - might well turn up the boards and the panels are the same, with slightly different firmware. Happens in all walks of life, technology in particular. For example, I remember back in the late 80s there was a lens I wanted, made by Tamron, who also made the same thing as OEM for Leica (with Leica's logo & mounting). The Tamron 'as Tamron' (with Canon FD mounting) was c.a. £250, whilst the Leica branded one - £420. I was so happy I needed the Canon flavour! 🙂

[@photonboy999]

*you did miss an important test* You should test OVERDRIVE at different refresh values by locking a game's FPS. I'd test at 60FPS, 100FPS and 140FPS or similar. There's no point testing at a low FPS as the monitor either doesn't support variable refresh that low or it will more likely use LFC which will increase the monitor refresh to multiples of the FPS. For example "29FPS" would result in each frame being sent twice to force the monitor to run at 58Hz. So the monitor should never drop below it's Freesync/GSync range.

And it's colidated with the fact that hdr is tested specifically on hdr 1000 TV's, and for some reason the main thing in hdr games is light, and not colour.

[@GraveUypo]

it's not that hdr is gimmicky, it's that these monitors are not capable of hdr. their hdr is fake. they don't have the specs even for the lowest end hdr400 qualification, which in turn still isn't real HDR (real HDR starts at hdr1000 for lcd panels)

And this range has like...15 monitors? And only if you count in half-baked local dimming. For you real hdr might start at 16bits, I don't care, I still will use my hdr600 monitor.

The Acer seems to have much more crisper colors, while the MSI seems as if it has a weird greenish tint on which makes the whites and blacks look really bad in comparison.

In all honest everything but the panel is what makes the price of the monitor so could be better to start measuring the weight of both monitors as a starting point.

hi, comparing Philips 27B1U7903/69 and 32M1N5800A/69, you mentioned those with Mini LED backlight gives you best of both world from IPA and VA panels?

[@avendorz]

a contrast ratio below 1000:1 would be a knockout criteria for me. looks like the main difference of the panels. still doesnt justify the price difference.

[@nicolasspray]

the image is so much better on the expensive one, unfortunately.. the MSI monitor is super yellowish compared to the other one

[@zappalavigna]

When he talked about the ambient light thing in the expensive one.. I didn't even know that monitors have something like that💀

[@S-MotoAdventure]

I’ve bought the Mai g274 instead of g273. So you think because it’s newer what I’ve bought it’s better or I could save money and buy the older one?

[@thndeh]

You can also get the Acer in the Nitro variant as XV272U KV. It costs maybe 30€ more than the MSI, but with full ergonomic adjustability and the overdrive(which can't be changed from "normal" once freesync is enabled) works over the whole range with only minimal overshoot at 60fps, while you need to change overdrive on the MSI for high or low fps to get the best results considering overshoot.

[@pasi123567]

Yes it is essentially the same monitor with the same sensor etc just cheaper haha

[@notbrokebrolt6281]

Msi is good for 60hz and 165hz on the “fast” overdrive setting. If there is any overshoot it is unnoticeable.

[@thndeh]

@@notbrokebrolt6281 If you say so - i'm going by the "tables" for the overdrive modes on rtings.

[@notbrokebrolt6281]

@@thndeh Trust me m8 it’s unless you’re really tryna catch the monitor lacking u won’t notice it.

I am watching this in 2022 on a cheap 27 inch acer monitor that was made in 2011. Will the MSI monitor last as long as the acer?

[@MisterMustardIsDumb]

ive rocked 3 different models of the msi MAG series and love them

[@Mafioso1731]

Phenomenal video 😮 Well done! Maybe you'll be the first on youtube to do a review on the MAG325CQRF QD. I cant find a review on it ANYWHERE! Theres only one badly done review by a blonde lady. Please consider reviewing it 😊

[@EliteSphere1]

"A lot of letters for your money" Haha. Great script. That's pure reason to buy the Acer for sure!

[@seventheaven]

You gain a new sub!

[@AkadeProductions]

I had to return my cheap MSI because it hurt my eyes after just 30mins use. Does the ''visioncare'' actually work on the acer or its a gimmick ?
