KOORUI GN10 27" Gaming Monitor Review

[@azamat19]

No infos about the hdr capabilities? How many dimming zones? How is the hdr glow? What peak brightness do we have? How much is hdr input lag? Most people who are interested in this monitor are because its a mini led hdr1000 monitor for a great price like the aoc.

[@tvchef]

Yes we have noted that feedback for a follow up video. Just have not had the time to get around to it yet! If there is anything else you want to see let me know! I have the monitor out at my studio reminding me to get it done lol

[@kinghadu9611]

These people are grifters they are given these monitors for review by companies because the companies know these people are incompetent and has no clue how to do an actual review.

[@aaronwarrington9139]

Less then 400 dimming zones but it's mini led so bright as fuck

[@rippah669]

Yeah that UFO test didn't show anything, you'd have to take a still photo and compare the perceived motion blur to get any sort of useful information. A 30 fps youtube video will not be able to show the smoothness of this monitor or likely any monitor for gaming. Seriously there doesn't need to be so much b-roll of the monitor because it's quite literally impossible to judge how good it looks with the limits of youtube and your own monitor, I'd rather just hear you talk about it and how you think it compares to other monitors. I'm most likely going to buy this as I (as well as most people buying a 240hz monitor) can tell it's a fantastic monitor, but the majority of this review was useless to watch. Go over the build quality more, compare it to other monitors, try the vesa mounting, or even recommend good color settings for people considering purchasing.

[@CCProofPlayer]

This.

[@rippah669]

@@CCProofPlayerfyi been running this monitor now on a 7900XT and 7800X3D, I can confirm thats it's a sick 240hz mini led. Awesome for fps, does HDR well, not gonna find a better 240hz for the price anywhere.

[@rippah669]

@@realcat08 Yeah I love it, not gonna find much better for the price. Little bit of ghosting with the VA but it's ignorable. It's crazy bright and sometimes makes me think it's oled with the contrast. Also on sale at amazon rn

[@tvchef]

Thanks for this feedback. We really appreciate it!

[@saiksaikatai594]

where is the hdr performance review? you can't be serious...

[@tvchef]

Thanks for this feedback. So in future reviews what exactly would you want to see showcased with HDR? Gameplay with it toggled on/off? We will see what we can work into our reviews going forward so please let us know! Also this monitor claims HDR 1000 but technically you would need 10-bit processing so...

[@djbpresents9584]

So what is it's max hdr peak brightness? Does hdr look really good? Idc what spec say what's real world brightness

[@The-Gurn-Channel]

The whole point of mini led is HDR. What a fail. 😂😂

[@legend-of-spam8906]

@@tvchef isn’t it vesa certified? It says so on the vesa website?

[@valerioee5470]

HDR 1000 and 1000 nits are the key points of this monitor.

[@acurisur]

You didn't mention in your review how bright the monitor can get. I know it's advertised as HDR 1000 but I was hoping you would have tested that as some monitors can't achieve their advertised brightness.

[@tvchef]

We are trying to figure out how to test brightness... HDR really seems to just be a marketing ploy on all these budget gaming monitors!

[@acurisur]

I doubt it's a marketing ploy, it's a Mini LED monitor, and any monitor running that sort of panel gets very bright. I suspect the low price has more to do with where the manufacturer is based rather than its quality. What I would like to know is if it actually hits 1000 nits of brightness as a lot of monitors can't reach that advertised brightness level

[@xythiera7255]

@@acurisur I gess the low amount of diming zones is were the price cute comes in place and that is basicly not realy acknowledge that it even exist by KOORUI so there is now way to upgrade the firmware

[@plmcreative]

I have this monitor. I have also an omen 27u (4k). I decided to use the 240hz koorui for gaming and it's excellent. So my comment though is on the HDR brightness. I can say it's so damn bright at times I have to look away. If the sun for instance in Witcher 3 comes into central view it's like accidently looking at the sun for real. I'm gonna pass on HDR until I figure a way to perhaps reduce its intensity as no joke it actually seems to me that mini led with HDR is legit dangerously brightj

[@tasilama4707]

@@plmcreative have you measured the average response time of this monitor especially if you play like fps competitive games? is the ghosting noticeable like other VA panel monitor? does color looks great when turning on HDR?

[@djbpresents9584]

suggestion, please dont do anymore reviews of monitors esp hdr if you dont have ability to test brightness etc, maybe impressions etc but these aint reviews

[@tvchef]

Hope you find a better video suited for your needs!

[@lasagna2933]

I got the gn10 and experienced the adaptive sync issues and found the cause, activating hdr within windows seems to bug everything out including the settings inside the monitor. It would seem hdr works automatically within the screen because the colors looked exactly the same. update on the issue: I'm returning the monitor, the issue still appears but the game i tested the first time didnt seem to trigger it, it still happens a lot less though but its horrible. The issue appears in every game on the menu, the monitor literally goes insane flickers every 0.5 secs

[@tvchef]

Thanks for the comment! -MB

[@B-ROYalty]

Solid review, tempted to pull the trigger but hearing too many bad things on subreddits where everyone's returning it. I guess AdaptiveSync and HDR cannot be used together at the same time.. causes major issues. If that's the case they really fudged up a good lookin monitor

[@tvchef]

Totally understand that! I still always say buy and try and return if not happy. Only so much can be conveyed over video vs seeing the monitor and using it IRL! Let me know what you end up going with!

[@B-ROYalty]

@@tvchef absolutely agreed, but I decided to bite the bullet & just got an OLED instead on sale for $599. Too good to pass up all things considered. Should be zero reason I'll have to worry about returning or anything

[@acurisur]

Mini LED seems to have an issue using HDR and VRR at the same time, this is the 3rd different Mini LED monitor I've seen that can't do it properly. Coolermaster has two Mini LED monitors that both flicker when HDR and VRR are enabled. So I'd say that Mini LED monitors are a good option if HDR is your main priority and OLED is out of your price range.

[@B-ROYalty]

@@acurisur well that's really unfortunate, I'm more into fast paced competitive games but starting to explore solo titles where those two things might be very important to me. I guess OLED would be the best for everything but I know for sure I wouldn't be too upset if I had a nice mini led either lol

[@acurisur]

@@B-ROYalty Agreed, I guess for now you'll have to turn HDR off when you're playing something like CS GO and then turn HDR on when you're playing something like Cyberpunk 2077. As time goes on though and the Mini LED tech matures, we'll start to see 2nd and 3rd gen monitors that can do HDR and VRR at the same time.

[@indianajonze]

how the hell are you going to review a miniled local dimming hdr1000 panel and not show 1. the mini led local dimming or 2. the hdr? ridiculous review

[@tvchef]

Thanks for the feedback! We will work to address these shortcomings in a future video!

[@AudaciousVel]

Would this be good for competitive gaming?

[@Crazyfax1]

if i get hdmi for it instead what would you recommend

[@omidsalavati]

I want to buy a PC monitor. Which one do you recommend, AOC Q27G3XMN or Koorui gn10 ?

[@tvchef]

Great question. Both are near identical spec so I would personally buy whatever one is cheaper. Right now that appears to be the AOC as the KOORUI is out of stock on Amazon?

[@kinghadu9611]

You didn't say the ms input delay at 120 HZ and 60 HZ You didn't even try to do a pursuit shot of the UFO test or look up how it's done, so simple. You didn't even try to tell us how bright the monitor is be it eyeball it or give us the actual nits. I give this review a 4/10

[@tvchef]

Feedback noted! Hope you find the video you are looking for!

[@VxnityASC]

hi i have a quick question do you think the Koorui gn10 is better than the 27e3qk or the other way around?

[@tvchef]

Probably go with the GN10!

[@aaronpogoda6442]

Hi, can you turn on Local Dimming and Adaptive-Sync at the same time?

[@ownway909]

I don't have the monitor in front of me at the moment but I most likely would have mentioned it during the menu or rgb time stamps in the video. It would be in the menu settings if its an option to turn off!

[@Ev0Drift]

Can you hook a Soundbar up to this monitor? since the monitor does not have sound, im looking for something to have sound off it.

[@tvchef]

Yes if the soundbar has 3.5mm audio jack you could route it from pc to monitor then to sound bar!

Change it to its native resolution of 1440p. Depending on your game/console you would cap at 1440p 120hz for xbox and playstation!

Why is Koorui monitors so cheap?

[@tvchef]

Not sure! But they are great for what they are!

[@Be4zle]

Is this worth picking up over the odyssey g7 or a 240hz ips such as the lg gr83q and aw2723df?

[@imjustvibinboi2406]

maybe, it depends on if the VRR works with the Mini Led backlight on, there were multiple complaints on reddit about the fact that the mini led backlight would switch to a normal LCD backlight when stuff like GSYNC, FreeSync and Adaptive sync were turned on, so if the firmware updates haven't fixed this issue then its going to be as good as a normal 1440p 240hz VA. That being said, I'd get it over the Odyssey G7 since it's cheaper and it will be better for watching HDR content despite the fact that the G7 is a qled vs a normal lcd and it has a chance to have a firmware update to fix the issue in the future.

[@tvchef]

This is a tough question! Sorry for the delay on the reply. I like the advice you received below but what did you ultimately end up going with? Are you happy?

[@SymbioZz]

G-sync or no ?

Innocn 27G1S - pretty sure you reviewed this one but it needs more in depth info on response times for ghosting/overshoot... just seemed a bit vague to me & I'm extremely sensitive to smearing on VA panels. But if its performing within range of IPS mid tier++ like the LG 27gr83q then thats actually insanely good and makes me wonder if that outweighs the oddly high input delay you measured.
