I think I found the new KING of Budget PC Gaming Monitors!

[@selfhosted]

I got the Asus ROG Strix 27 inch (XG27AQM) when it first came out a couple years ago. Set me back almost $700 but it was the best purchase I’ve made. Super fast frames in games and it was like night and day over the standard 144hz monitors. Such a nice monitor. This one looks good too but I’m not into curved screens. Nice review!

[@klee8249]

i think the smaller the number, the more curved it is. r stands for radius

[@baldlyrudy]

Oh my god....I said the opposite didn't I? 🤦‍♂️ My bad. Should've caught that in editing.

[@KenzieNakamura]

Hihi men here with curved display says my little "kurwa"..:(

[@eheproductions5744]

Just picked one up on a flash sale for $230. Still a bit concerned about how it will hold up, but this video was definitely helpful as far as being able to see that it is mostly operating at advertised specs and not complete junk.

[@603chefmon]

could you post your color calibration results or a way to calibrate w/o the sensor? great review. I just picked one up for sub 230, with an old promo code and the black friday sale. looking forward to your new content.

2:45 Lower the number the more curved it is. 1000R is more curved than a 1800R

I’m finding it hard to find a 32 inch 240hz monitor without having to buy an OLED and spending 600+ dollars so this seems to be one of the few options in this space. I don’t know much about the brand but I’ve read they make panels for LG, Samsung, etc. are they decent panels ?

In 1440p*

[@kernoleary1394]

it is strange, the old samsung g7 and g6 seems to use a similar panel. I had a 32 g7 and loved it SO much. But a backlight burnt out after 1.5 yrs. Was hoping to find a similar panel with the big curve and all, but NOT the samsung panel..

[@KenzieNakamura]

having the same issue but hard finding 1 under 1800 usd.. EU/ASIA

[@loganwhite6173]

I cant find this anywhere

[@bbwslayer333]

this is the same panel as the samsung g65b correct? I believe KTC usually uses Samsungs B-stock panels/1st gen G7 panels. They might be more prone to QC issues compared to the refreshed G65 is what I've gathered. I think if it was around $220-$250 MSRP that would make sense considering the HVA H27E22 is on sale for $190-$200 rn and is the fastest VA panel. It's hard to justify the price when the Samsung is only $40-$50 more & you have 12 month financing with a best buy membership + comes with OS if you want to use as a TV.

[@2xTooFaded]

i ordered the g65b but would have to wait 2 months. so i cancelled the order an got this ktc monitor. same exact price but Samsung's is normally 700!!?

[@bbwslayer333]

@ basically the same exact thing besides with some menu changes & no TV Tyzen OS. It’s very nice & the 1000r curve is amazing! Samsung is $350 during christmas over here while the KTC was $270.

[@nickomalley47]

Does the earphone plug in on the monitor work for audio output for speakers?

[@baldlyrudy]

Yup.

[@tedcluberlang3778]

What monitor mount can fit this monitor. I just got it and i thought it fit my current one but it didn't

[@baldlyrudy]

It should be compatible with a 100mm VESA mount. This is the stand that I have: amzn.to/49jCIxb (Affiliate)

My AIO bit the dust I had to order an entire new cooling system, I miss my pc. 😢😢😢😢😢 lol

[@baldlyrudy]

That hurts to read. I've always gone with air cooling because I've always been afraid of an AIO going bad.

[@dr.chungusphd108]

@@baldlyrudy it’s only gonna cost 250 to get fixed so it’s not the end of the world.

[@baldlyrudy]

@@dr.chungusphd108 that's not bad at all.

[@ukstevey]

what a coincidence - the king of budget monitors was also the sponsor!

[@baldlyrudy]

Crazy! Isn't it?!

[@Chill4life94]

FYI, lower the number the greater the curve.. 😂 Js

[@baldlyrudy]

Yeeeeeeah....I realized that after posting.🤦‍♂️ Appreciate it though.
