i think one of the biggest problem with cheap monitors is that those stands on them are made out of thin paper

[@yanagida_01]

yeah, they literally screw in to the plastic instead of having a metal thread insert, so they strip really quick. though it's a good thing that good quality monitor arms come in cheap now, usually at around $15 to $20.

[@LukeJukeDuke]

Well buying monitor arms for cheap is always an option, still, having shitty plastic stands is annoying out of the box.

[@drizztcat1]

That junior high origami class finally paying off.

[@CMstacker]

Yeah, that sucks a lot! I`ve been noticing that trend with cheapo panels last few years. Wobbly non-adjustable mess. I have Dell U2412M since 2015 (back then it cost me around $400 in europe) which is ancient by all modern metrics (i quite like 16:10 aspect ratio though, shame that died out) but it has ergonomically adjustable stand with height, swivel, tilt and pivot with steel base and all moving parts - still smooth with no creaks. Also I guess stand alone is double the weight of any of these monitors. Whole thing is almost 7 kg which is probably in line with 30" decent quality panels these days.

[@yasu_red]

Part of why I like a lot of older Dell monitors, since those often had height adjustable, tilting AND rotating stands, meanwhile you'd be lucky to get any of those on most new cheap monitors, and the image quality isn't much better on those if at all usually.

[@Cbamptronious]

You should test your theory on the overclocked panels. try the 75hz ones at 60hz, and the 165 at 60/75/100/120/144 and see how it scales.

Got a couple 1080p 60 Hz screens here that can do 84 Hz without issues. The only point when there is some "lag", is when I downsample 4K on it, but 2880x1620 is fine.

[@Atari5732]

There's even more $100 gaming monitors that might be better: Sceptre, Viotek, Dell, and others have some 24" $100 monitors @75Hz. I think it's rather hard to see the motion issue at all times, so yes there's much more testing to be done.

[@mayorplayz]

I ocd my old monitor to 74 hz and they started to do some motion blur thing like he was mentioning, its surely these shitty panels

[@sakaraist]

For anyone looking at cheap monitors, Do be aware that the biggest (in my experience doing repair work in the industry) factor is longevity. I've seen a LOT of dirt cheap monitors have either REALLY bad coil whine straight out of the box, or straight up blown caps within a few months. While they are simple repairs, you don't want to be fixing something you just bought. Look into the brand your buying for some long term reviews if you can

[@kyoudaiken]

Blown caps. *cough* Samsung *cough* LG *cough*

[@TheDiner50]

What? Expect back bleed and dead pix to be the danger even if reviews gives a screen a ok. How can a non CRT monitor be so bad that it die due to caps and coil wine?? Got a 1440p 31.5inch 75hz screen for like $200 and it is still a really good monitor 3 years into owning it. Got heavily used 1080p monitors from Samsung and BenQ that are still doing there job no dead pixels or back bleed or anything. All cheap ish screens. 2005-2015. Sure 60hz but still.

[@eboethrasher]

AOC at like $130 will cover you for a decent amount of time for a 24" IPS.

[@Sully948]

I've been using Pixio monitors for years, and I've always been very happy with them. They are almost always the best bang for your buck with good image quality. I have the PX27 Prime now, and it's a 27" 1440p 165hz IPS panel, and 3 years ago I picked it up for $350 which at the time was the cheapest price for a monitor with those specs. It's still working perfectly as well

[@wynard]

[@Zangetsu_X2]

What is 3090 Fe?

[@ADean415]

When I was looking for a ultrawide monitor, Pixio turned up in few searches with a good ultawide 1440p monitor. Apparently that brand is better than you'd imagine at a first glance. Unfortunately the only two video reviews I watched, the people got a custom pink version which isn't available to the general public or else I would have snatched that thing up in a heartbeat. Ended up going with a viewsonic ultrawide which I'm happy with, but damn if the lost chance at a pink monitor doesn't still hurt a little.

[@kajurn791]

These budget monitors are all so similar because they use the same panels. It's kind of why we get different flavors of the same thing at the low end, there's only a few panels being made at a high enough amount to drive prices this low.

Being over budget on my last PC build by $500, I almost bought one of Amazon's $150 monitors, because the PC I owned last last time had one of the early widescreen LCD monitors that offered connection only through DVI or mesozoic port. Thankfully I opted for a decent 165hz 1440p monitor instead, but I came so close to the Amazon crap pile that I could smell it. It's always fun to see you scrape the bottom of the tech barrel. I'd love to see more Deathmatch Arena of cheap garbage videos like this. I especially love that Koorui slogan: "fighting for your dreams". What does that mean? Why? What random sentence generator powered by Google ML rejects did they use to come up with that? Again, WHY? Please help me! That slogan is more confusing than Inception in Spanish.

[@Tyrian3k]

What price you can get a decent monitor at depends on what kind of refresh rate and resolution you want. $150-$200 can get you something decent to play at 1080p and 120+ hz.

Btw the Samsung odyssey 7 sometimes goes for ~420 pounds at discount pricing, so you might want to consider it as an option(1440p has up to 240hz, comes in 27" and 32", it's curved so might be your cup of tea since you had previously a wide-screen)

About your ergonomics tips: you actually have it the wrong way around. Your neck will be *more* stressed if the monitor is high.

I bought an entry-level AOC VA panel and really regretted it. The only games I am willing to play on it are strategy or Diablo-style RPG games as anything with full-screen animations (think FPS or simulation) or even watching movies results in a pea soup on screen whenever there are significant transitions in brightness or motion. Panning especially results in massive amounts of ghosting. While static images and brightness on a VA are pretty pleasant, I would much rather opt for a cheap TN panel that has reasonable response times even if it is only a 60hz panel. Mistakes were made and lessons were learned. Thanks, Dawid for your video, I noticed the Koorui monitors on Amazon and was wondering if they were any good. As usual, the Amazon reviews set a relatively low bar (think: it turned on, 5 stars!) so it is great to see these put through their paces.

All VA panels suffer from low pixel response time, specially from black to white. Some are better than others but all suffer from this. Room temperature will also affect this. The colder the worse it gets. No VA panel can reach a 1ms response time, not even grey to grey (unless the greys are very close together).

I got a 170hz Acer 1440p 27" monitor on sale, for €200, normally it goes for €330. Its absolutely amazing. Better save up some more and get an actually good monitor

[@basabbag7714]

David: So, which of these 5 monitors would I buy? David: No of them. I would not buy any of them. Also David: "Buys all of them💀"

It’s a shame because Sansui used to be a very well known household brand back in the 80s. Back in the day if you wanted high quality audio or music, you would use reel to reel Sansui equipment.

[@remor9637]

Dam, those monitors are $100, and I bought a S24F350 at $200 thinking it was cheap

I enjoyed this video more than LTTs recent budget monitor video.

[@hermanvdd599]

You are 300% right ;-) , I (also) have 2 LG UltraGear (34") monitors on my desk , and I would not trade them for any other crap/cheap ones ;-)

[@GewelReal]

cheap VA are abysmal for gaming but as an office monitor... it's not the worst idea especially that 165Hz one

[@carlwillows]

Sansui used to make home stereo components. They were nice.

[@montgomeryfitzpatrick473]

I've had the 32" version of the LG you recommended in a closet for 2 years, lol. Got a Dell 32" curved 1440p 165hz and a 43" 4k 120hz I use depending on the game

Man i never thought that Paul Dano was that good on monitors, thanks.

You should do this with 1440p monitors! Last year I bought a CRUA 27in IPS 144Hz 1440p monitor for about 200 USD, and right now with black friday deals I've seen it at 170 USD. I haven't really had many issues with the monitor apart from a few dead pixels, and in my ignorance (this is my first gaming monitor) the image quality looks pretty good! I've also seen many other monitors from weird brands at about the same price point of around 200 USD and I've wondered how good (or awful) they really are. Do I have a horrible monitor because of no point of reference? Did I find a good deal? I'd really like to see these questions answered!

[@Zangetsu_X2]

Don't the dead pixels annoy you?

[@AndrewF35]

@@Zangetsu_X2 Honestly no, since 1440p is a lot of pixels, I rarely ever notice them. Besides, now I’m using it as my secondary monitor so it’s even less of an issue

[@colonelangus7535]

Just wait for wall-shart to put the prior year model LG-Ultragear on clearance. I picked up a 1440p 32 inch for $250 mid 2022. Good VA panels are quite nice, but I'd stick to namebrand for a VA panel. That was some Onn by Walmart quality with the sansui panel.

[@flioink]

The VESA mount should be compulsory nowadays. I'm used to having a monitor arm and not going back to dodgy stands.

[@thewhitekid2177]

Great video man, would love to see more budget friendly oriented videos!

[@SilentdragonDe]

Honestly if I was on a really tight budget I'd look for refurbished/used office monitors, which tend to be even cheaper than the ones in the video. Sure, they'll usually only be 60Hz, but at least they won't assault yor eyes with terrible image quality *and* a lot of them feature height adjustable stands, which is way better for ergonomics.

[@eliodecolli]

I LOVE the face you make on your video thumbnails

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

I bought monitors for ~130€ before, and they're doing their job for nearly 10 years now just fine. 1080p 60 Hz 22'', but able to run 84 Hz. Gotta sit a bit closer than on a 24'', but the pixel density is nice. Oh, and VGA D-Sub isn't too surprising. At that price they would be bought by people on a budget, so there is a good chance they also have cheap/old computers to connect to. From budget gamers to offices. And I agree on the power bricks. Takes so much space on the extension cord.

[@Ladik_kitik_amelia]

So sad for you David that you havent noticed Koorui 24E3 which is (fast) IPS 144hz 1ms screen, for the same 100$ price range, (maybe 120-130), but it outstands all these models for sure

[@denvera1g1]

The 72hz on the samsung suggests that either the pannel, or controller, were meant to drive 144hz, something didnt meet spec, and it was halved to 72hz

[@jakobmax3299]

In germany there are tons of 100 euro 24 inch 75hz ips panels. Weird that the north american low end markets is so flooded with Va...

[@Ryuken27]

I almost bought a pixio, but luckily an Acer went on sale and I love it.
