The Best Value Gaming Monitors (1440p & 1080p)

[@techlessYT]

I'm posting the best Black Friday deals I can find over at my discord: discord.gg/DxQpRe45HM

[@coreylinsenmeyer1172]

Quick question. Looking for a monitor to work. Really two as I run a dual monitor setup. Been looking at the Asus XG27ACS, AOC Q27G3XMN and the Acer XV271UM3. No gaming will be done on these. Don't do video editing so HDR is not really needed. Which would you choose.

[@Sonicboomer4895]

At first I thought KZbin skipped the first minute.. But you just jumped directly into the topic. That was refreshing, thank you!

[@Kian_Farasat]

short and simple. amazing

[@YoutubeModsAreSnowflake]

Instantly subd. No nonsense, direct to the point. I thought this kind of KZbinrs have gone extinct.

[@pncx9872]

Its pretty crazy how cheap 1440p monitors are getting. Monitors that were 450$ back in 2023, now are 300$ in 2024

[@andrechapuis9608]

Here in Brazil it's still around pretty expensive, like the cheaper ones are like $400 dollars. And the cheaper ones in other countries, like these ones are like $600 dollars 😢

[@FenrirAlter]

yep and some solid mid refreshrate 1440p oled monitors are also appearing around 600€

[@majestichellium9166]

I got one that was on sale and had a coupon on it from amazon for 165 cad including import fees and taxes. which in my province is 15%. So to say this is an insane deal is an understatement. Only downside is its only 100hz but that's good enough for what I want it for.

[@beak0771]

@@andrechapuis9608 imposto é foda

[@travispratt6327]

I might be stating the obvious, but that’s because newer technology and models come out at the same price making it make no sense to pay full price for a couple years old model, so naturally they lower the prices otherwise people would just pick the newer model for the same money.

[@aceingaming9656]

I've been waiting for this. Now it's the best time to buy. Thanks 😊

[@AHungryGamer]

AOC released an IPS version of Q27G3XMN, called the Q27G4XM in the chineese market but it's not stated when or if it will be globally available. It's got more dimming zones at 1,152, better colors and wider gamut, viewing angles and faster response times. I hope it comes to the west in the coming months.

[@Oceanandskylinevidss]

Its doesnt have mini led. And its cheaper than the g3

[@00Cubic]

out of the box, the gigabyte M27Q X actually has much better color accuracy then the LG counterpart

[@shamar5673]

I have the mobiuz ex240 i got it for $83 including tax on ebay and i love it so much. Watched your review and knew that at the price it was an absolute steal. I use it on my series X

[@tomjakes-eo9nr]

nice

[@tcsky8521]

I bought earlier today the LG 27GR83Q on sale on amazon for $299 🔥, glad to know I made the right decision, thanks for the video man

[@templitudee6124]

i bought my asus vg249q a year and a half ago already, but this video is going to help a lot of people. Good job making it brief and efficient

[@IceDweller68]

Is it worth it?

[@templitudee6124]

@IceDweller68 you better follow this guy's advice, but i got mine for 200€ and it's pretty good, asus quality. speakers, 180° rotation but only 144hz, very good colors

[@daniilkaminskyi8713]

What is your opinion on going 24 inch instead of 27 inch for a budget 1440p mid refresh rate monitors? Have been contemplating buying AOC Q24G2A as my first monitor.

[@ImDazzling]

I'm considering this as well actually! I have been using a 24-inch 1080p 144Hz monitor until now with 92 PPI; going to the Q24G2A would bump the resolution to 1440p obviously + increase the PPI to 122, which should result in a very sharp, clear image! Got this idea 2 days ago by seeing a video "Only TWO monitors like this exist" that's also on this channel!

[@fckinyee]

@@ImDazzling get 27 inch, u will not "regret" it in a few years, but u will think of upgrading either way. so just get directly the 27 inch. even if its a bit more expensive. it will be worth it

[@aphae]

I got a used LG 27GR83Q for $350 CAD and only had less than 300 hours use. I recommend using Rting's downloadable monitor profile and recommended settings.

[@shoarmadad5307]

Every time I watch these videos, I feel vindicated buying the AOC hdr monitor. I don't notice a difference in response times in competitive fps at all. Truly a gigachad monitor.

[@Jinfwjump]

How is the imput lag? Are you a competitive gamer?

[@shoarmadad5307]

@Jinfwjump As I said, i don't notice any input lag.

[@courageoyibo6716]

How about the color accuracy, can it be used for video / picture editing ? Also how’s the black smearing ?

[@shoarmadad5307]

@courageoyibo6716 I have a bad eye for colo accuracy, though, according to the rtings review, if you want accurate colors, the srgb mode is pretty much as good as it gets. Hdr is fantastic. I primarily use it for everyday use (watching videos, text editing and gaming), not for content creation. Black smear is noticeable in very high contrast situations, such as very bright text on a pure black background. Other than that, I just don't notice it. Speaking of contrast, the monitor can reach 10000:1 contrast with strong local dimming.

[@UnderCookedSushi]

@@shoarmadad5307 have you used any of those mid refresh rate 1440p monitors? i'm wondering if the difference in response is noticeable or not.

[@SneakySquirrel-lkp8]

I like your videos content dense without the unnecessary fluff and very focused on the real world consumer experience.

[@gapast3669]

Can you test newly released Xiaomi Mini G Pro 27i? It is mini LED with almost 1200 zones for 370 euros.

[@mklegomaster]

If you don't mind spanish, a youtuber called imartz reviewed it and even compared it to the aoc, he does some great content and goes very deep into details such as local dimming brightness accuracy and the disadvantages of the backlight being pwm

[@drago939393]

Tom's Hardware, PCWorld and IGN all gave it very positive reviews; it has flaws but the overall panel quality, build quality and performance are stated to be above that of monitors even $200 more expensive. They all mention that out-of-the-box calibration is mediocre, tho.

[@privatjetconnaisseur]

It is down to below 340 now. Whatever comes first, mini led below 300 or oled below 450 will be my new monitor

[@maskguy7]

Hey techless, thanks for consistently making great videos!

[@DimMVK]

Thanks. 👍🏻 Unfortunately there are some reports that Dell uses various panels from different manufacturersfor the G2724D which one is slightly worse than the one that was used in the first place. Some say the same about the XG27ACS but not sure.

[@malithaw]

Straight to the point, good job!

[@coolpoete]

Great video, it helped me solidify my pick with the AOC monitor. Other reviewers said about the same!

[@tomoe7255]

Thx for the vid, I was on the lookout for some good monitors!

[@diogovivas97]

Hey techless, very nice list as always. Apparently the KTC H24F8 is the "new" version of the H24T09P with a 180hz IPS panel and now they promote it as 1ms GTG. It is the same price and "better" specs on paper. Will you ever get to test it? Have a good one.

[@Theo-si3ik]

Hey do you think I should get that new one instead of the T09P? Thanks :)

[@diogovivas97]

@Theo-si3ik I got the T09P because it is known and tested by many. I will receive it this week. It will be my second monitor because I have a 360hz BenQ for the main one.

[@plehboy]

I heard about the H24F8 today for the first time and was also wondering what it is. Can anyone test it? Haven't found any reviews of it either... Seriously considering buying one

[@Geology_monster]

for valorant competitive it´s better 1080p or 1440p? at high refreshing rates, for example the Acer Nitro 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 PC IPS Monitor has 240Hz, but i found a KTC 1080p with 400 hz for almost the same price, what would you recommend?, please help me🙏🏻

[@Scotts_Place]

It depends on your components/specs, however Valorant is not exactly a demanding game. 1080p you're generally getting better response times and flexibility hitting a higher refresh rate/FPS, and you will have better options/availibilty. I would go for a decent 24" (23.8) 1080p monitor, but you absolutely don't need a 400Hz display. It's completely overkill. Also KTC I'm not sure I've heard of and I don't know what their track record is. To get the most for your money, I'd be looking at something in the 144-240hz range. You can get very decent monitors capable of 165hz-180hz and 240hz these days.

[@jahmaltruth]

Commenting for the algorithm, you do great work

[@JACKjcs]

3:20 If you're going to play then whether or not it's recommended depends on the capabilities of your PC, not on popularity, and considering how well optimized the games are being released, well...

[@Sylveighty]

you should cover the "new" 24E3, the G2411P from Koorui, from what I could tell its apparently better on the brightness and color accuracy department than the 24E3, maybe its using the same panel as the H24T09P?

[@MrSanji1993]

Got the MSI M274QPX for 300€ and get happier than that. Crazy value for what you get.

[@oblivionfrag8035]

i hope you are doing so well in life your content is so good you deserve the best. been here since 15k subs u never disappoint.

[@jonathanchaney6140]

Ktc has a 24 inch 1440p 180hz ips monitor that goes on sale a lot for 150 dollars as well. It's the KTC Q24T09.

[@dfasdfgdsfdf588]

Some of the latest gen 27" OLEDs have been going for less than 600 euro already but I totally get excluding them since it's impossible to pick a single model, the prices are all over the place. I wouldn't be surprised if we see 27" 3rd gen QD-OLED or ASUS XG27AQDMG for 500-550e during Black Friday. At that point I'd definitely get it over a 350-400e high refresh rate LCD, it's on a completely different level.

[@Davinmk]

Anything above 500 is not a budget monitor

[@dfasdfgdsfdf588]

@@Davinmk Yeah but the video is about best "value", not specifically about budget monitors. The point I wanted to make is that entry level OLEDs for 600$ might be "better value" than many of the 350-500$ LCDs. Of course you'll find the absolute best value in the 100-250$ range aka "budget" monitors.

[@Davinmk]

@@dfasdfgdsfdf588 350 is a very different price than 600

[@srvuk]

Very useful summation.

[@pleacedYT]

I just came from best monitors. Money can buy video and it’s crazy how you mentioned the LG. From what other people have reviewed on this monitor it definitely seems like that is the closest to OLED. You can buy without actually being OLED.

[@jonathanng138]

U didn't include the Xiaomi G Pro 27i which is a 1440p 180z mini led with 1100 dim zones bro

[@UnderCookedSushi]

Could you do a video comparing the 1440p mid refresh rate monitors to the AOC Q27G3XMN please? I'm torn between these models as I like the mini-led picture quality, but I don't know if the VA panel is noticeably slower than those IPS panels.

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

Great video! Have you seen the HP "OMEN 27q" (suprisingly simple name for a monitor these days haha)... I've been hearing good things about it, and it's only £179 here in the UK.

[@sam.0021]

How do you think the KTC H27T22 stacks up in the 1440p mid refresh rate category?

[@Kumoiwa]

Similar to Dell

[@GreyRegular]

Where I live, Dell G2724D isn't there however there's a Dell G2725D ($223 - not on sale), any difference between the two?

[@drago939393]

Where I live the MSI G274QPX is 330e and Gigabyte M27QX is 345e, while the LG 27GR83Q has "-B.AEU" and can be found for 280e. Is this some inferior version or a lucky opportunity..?

[@Kliq-n2s]

For all this listed or of these price range, which would be the best one for CS2 game playing? Please, any advice

[@qkeptz]

great video but i have question, would you recommend the acer over the dell for content creation (photoshop, illustrator) due to its 95% dci-p3 coverage?.

[@techlessYT]

Thanks! I measured 84.1% (Dell) vs 89.8% (Acer) of P3 coverage. It's really not a huge difference, but if you work in the P3 color space the Acer is a slightly better pick.

[@qkeptz]

​@@techlessYT thank you! If the difference is minimal then I'll go with the dell for the better contrast. your channel has been very straightforward and truly helpful thank you for the great content.

[@askeladden450]

I got a $170 1440 165hz 27" IPS monitor from an unknown brand called Thunder that has freesync/gsync and hdr. I haven't really noticed any ghosting but I'm not a competitive gamer either. Can't really vouch for the hdr either. It might be good, it might be bad, and it might be my ignorance but all I know is that I don't see anything wrong with it for my gaming uses. So for me, it was a steal, considering the cheapest big-brand option was almost $300 in my area.

[@Sy.Wolf1002]

What do you think of the Asus Rog Strix XG27ACMG? It’s also a 1440p 240hz (270hz OC) 27inch IPS. It goes for $400 and has similar specs to the LG 27gr83q-b, except a better stand, ELMB, and possibly better colors.

[@kakofps]

I still have my msi 251RX that I bought right on COVID time and still performs for what I need. I don't think I can't use anything below 240hz since then.

[@SeanSami]

Have you tried the Koorui 27E3QK before? It seems like a really good monitor for gaming. 1440p, 240hz, and low response time for around $250 USD.

[@HARV3STER-y6k]

[@leon_adl]

Hey, could you maybe test the Xiaomi G Pro 27i? It is in the same price class as the AOC but has a mini LED IPS panel with 1152 local dimming zones. Maybe this can deliver the best of both worlds for gaming and movie watching?

[@Oceanandskylinevidss]

I read about how the Xiaomi G pro 27i is marginally better than the AOC but the 27i is $100 more. So pick your poison.
