Monitors need much better standardization. Thank you for all the good content and education. Hopefully more people demand better overall quality and color accuracy from manufacturers. Backlight bleed is another big one that seems to slide through without mention, it can completely ruin dark scenes, whereas some monitors the backlight bleed is barely noticeable. I see this a lot with GPU's as well with things like coil whine and fan curves. Whole tech industry needs higher standards.
Contrast ratios as well. I bought an AOC 24G2 that had 1,300:1 contrast that was visibly a lot better than my other monitors. If it's possible for IPS panels to have better contrast and virtually no backlight bleed (with the LG 32GQ950-B), I don't understand why monitor manufacturers don't push for better quality, at least on their higher end IPS products.
@@MrRotch61 Greed and cost cutting. At the low end they assume people have no standards, at the high-end they assume people will put up with just acceptable performance because "IPS isn't a contrast tech, you should have gotten VA". It can take a long time for tech from the pro/enthusiast space to get into "normal" monitors. Samsung started cracking the key to fast VA all the way back in 2016/2017, but you still don't find that level polish in most VAs. Same with IPS, there have been panels that solved a lot of issues for ages, even longer than VA, but companies want to cheap out on panels for most models. With OLED burn-in concerns, I'm looking forward to IPS-Black improving to gaming levels and VA getting even better motion. I would consider OLED even with burn-in risks if they used better pixel layouts, that's the thing that kills it for me. TN LCD seems tapped out for anything but extreme motion for esports players.

I bought both Gigabyte G24F 2 and AOC 24G4 and i can say that the only pluses of AOC 24G4 is response time and how UFO test doesn't leave slight traits like in G24F2 on darker parts so it's visibly slower on G24F 2. I wish more people will test G24F 2 because i saw other youtuber that tested it and it was more around 8-9ms than 12ms which is really weird case in this channel. What i can say that AOC 24G4 kind if surprised me in weird way because when reponse time seems really good and it the contrast is good then the view angles are avarage and colors as also white are visibly worse than in Gigabyte. It won't be that big deal if not that blue+gray or blue+white colors looks purple than blue, for example galaxy, sky, some rock wall with blueish trait or something like that. I tried to adjust colors in many different ways and used some different options since i'm not professional and don't have stuff to perfectly calibrate screen, but it always leaves that purple color. I can compare it because i have them close to each other on gigabyte it looks naturally blue and on aoc it looks purple. I ordered 2nd one 24G4 to see if i didn't get something wrong and it's the same case, but the 2nd one came with less ips glow and blacklight bleeding on the plus. The most what irritates me is that those blue colors combined with gray,white and prolly some others colors looks purple and it doesn't look natural.

I would love to get screen quality of Gigabyte G24F 2 and reponse time of AOC 24G4. Personally i kind of wanna stay with Gigabyte, but i think i will see some other options first.
@@raziel5008 Gigabyte G24F 2 for sure having better colors and screen quality, the problem is that overdrive settings are done pretty poorly so like this guy saying here, it's not that fast. I think AOC 24G2SPU( i had it too) looks also better than AOC 24G4X, but it's still slower, but not as much as Gigabyte. Idk i just have weird problem that AOC 24G4X looks too much redish and weird no matter how i tune it. I'm not professionalist so i can't perfectly set it up ofc, but i don't have problems like that with other monitors. If u are just a fast paced gamer, i would still choose AOC 24G4X, you can see if it's to your liking or order 2 of them and see side by side.
@Berkelll i care more about color and image quality i will buy g24f, also it has 2 usb ports, its fine im doing good with my 60hZ in gaming lol im sure this is big upgrade, ty for the info u made my day
@@raziel5008 No problem, enjoy. You can also try the AOC 24G2SPU. It has better image quality than G4 at least from what i expierenced and it's faster than Gigabyte. If u have money, buy them both and return one u feel is worse.
@@Berkelll I BOUGH g24f 2 for 150usd great monitor, i use dlss quality combined with 2.25X DLDSR pic quality great and sharp with great colors from g24f 2,
Can you guys provide an ICC profile download link for how you set this monitor in order for it to actually be color accurate? I'm a noob in terms of color calibration and I would really help if you guys could provide a link to the exact profile you ended up using to get a color accurate output of this monitor.
Wow, good timing! I was right now shopping for a 1080p high refresh rate monitor and the G24F and AOC 24G2SP were on the top of my list. I still don't know which one to pick. No clear choice.
my brother bought the aoc and i have g24f2. Was able to compare them side by side. Color performance and contrast of g24 is better in my opinion. But aoc didnt had inverse ghosting issues like g24. But also g24 has height adjustable stand and overall ease of use and build quality was better. You can't go wrong with either of them but my choice will be g24f2 again
You guys could share your ICC profile after configuring this monitor (and others). I know it's not perfect and you should calibrate your own monitor but you know what would it hurt?
Was going to buy this some months ago but a lot of people reported factory issues with lines appearing after a month. Ended up going for a hp omen 25i, best decision I made, it has perfect calibration without touching anything and great modes. Also it supports a actually decent HDR compared to other monitors of this price range.
Suggestion- You like the Pixio PX248 Prime Advanced. I'd love to see you look at the PX248 Pro to see if it's as good. The main reason I like the Pro more is that it has a height adjustable stand.
This really looks just like a 24" version of the G27Q as far as stats go, just in F not Q. Seems ok. Now we need some of the budget 1440p 27" that are out there in the $220-250 range currently, even in the off brand stuff like KTC (which could actually be the OEM for a lot of manufacturers). Sceptre has decent stuff but nobody covers it and to me their 1 year warranty is a negative in a field that has a 3 year warranty standard. Finding an M27Q 2.0 and testing that would be nice so we could see the difference between what obviously is 2 separate panels. There has to be a performance difference that we should see, since they advertise a bigger coverage of DCi-P3 at 95% instead of the 92% they claim on the 1.0.
Thanks for the review. I’m in the market for a 1080p for my rtx 3060, and it’s maddening trying to find the right one. I’m looking more in the $180 ish range. Maybe I shouldn’t be so picky, considering I’ve been using a fixed rate TN for ages, anything should look better. 😅
I'm really loving my BenQ mobiuz ez240. I read a lot and it has a ePaper mode, amazing 😍 Regarding gaming, well it has blur reduction, 3 overdrive modes and w joystick...what else?
Just a suggestion, when reviewing height adjustable monitors mention its lowest possible height and tallest height in mm or inches. Manufacturers are often unclear in their websites of those facts. >_
not to mention that cheaper monitors can make good side monitors in a triple monitor setup, so long as the right things at least somewhat match the main. :)
Just a heads up if you are watching this video for recommendations, do not pick the G27F 2 that model is defective and it will fail in less than a year, go for this one the G24F2 instead. I made the mistake of choosing the G27F2 because I wanted a bigger monitor and now I'm having to go through the warranty
@@IAMNOTRANA Because I'm fine with 1080p? If its not for work then getting a 1440p or 2160p monitor is dumb as hell, you'd be paying 2 to 3 times more for the same product. And yes Gigabyte has had a bad reputation lately I'm aware about the mobo and psu kerfuffle. Or do you mean that at 27 inches it would be better to go 1440p for the PPI scaling?
This is actually an amazing 1080p monitor. The level of quality and polish is way above the asking price, and would have cost you at least double a few years ago. It's so good it really puts into question "budget" monitors that have always hovered around $100. Many of these budget monitors are bottom barrel and you can tell immediately from poor colors and atrocious IPS glow and black uniformity. So why wouldn't you pay the extra $50 to get such a big jump in quality? It reminds me of buying pro Dell monitors back in the day, sure they were so much more expensive for the specs but when you actually used it the polish was immediately evident. Now you don't have to pay those prices, so I think in 2023 if you're settling for these super cheap IPS and VA you're just getting scammed. Cheap VAs still have smearing bad enough to make them bad for most games, and I've seen plenty of IPS with backlights so bad they're basically unusable, even for productivity. I blind bought the G24F2 based on the rep of the previous model and the fact it seemed to have an above average panel, and the bet paid off. These were actually super cheap when they first released at Microcenter at the end of last year; I walked out the door with one for like $120! Even as just a secondary monitor this is a good pickup now. My only complaints are you can sometimes see glue in the gap for the "frameless" design and IPS contrast still is nothing special, but decent black levels and uniformity alleviate this a lot (nothing is worse than IPS glow, ugh).
I bought this monitor when it was on sale for that amazing price of $150 and it only lasted 7 months before lines started flickering all over the screen. Don’t buy. It came out of nowhere
I must have one with a different panel because HDR is 100% worth using... I even have to turn down brightness in HDR settings because it is way too bright. For normal desktop usage I set it to 27% brightness wich is plenty sitting near a window. Color is also awesome with no banding at all.
Pixio PX248 Prime Advanced don't exist in EU shops. AOC, Gigabyte, LG, BenQ, Samsung, Dell etc. but not Pixio :( If only BenQ Zowie lineup have 1440p panel.
Anyone had a problem at the bottom of the screen? I had 1 horizontal line come up. Now It's like 10-15 small likes across the screen at the bottom. Soon later, white line jitter came up
Yep. Me too and my friends too. Turns out that is common problem for this monitor. Suck ass build quality. Had to return it to claim guarantee. I'll never buy from this brand again.
Yup mine has that problem to after 1 year usage, but on indonesian forum gigabyte RMA to GS27F from May till today late Agust still no news from gigabyte.
Hey Tim, great review! I recently got the Dell S2722DGM, which is a little bit old 1440p 165 Hz monitor, but I have been very impressed with its quality after trying myself a few other monitors (like the AOC CQ27G2), especially considering the low price tag (I got for 200 euros, but I saw it's often going under 200 dollars in US). I think this is definitely a bang for bucks, I hope you will considering it for review.
@@C0BEX That's the S2721DGF, which is a completely different monitor despite the similar name. That has an LG Nano IPS panel and costs more, despite now it's also going on sale many times. The one I have is a VA panel, generally much cheaper. In terms of specs they are very similar, but I think that for price and performance the 22 model is way more convenient. It has among the best response times for a budget VA I have ever seen (not as Odyssey G7 of course but better than most competitors in its price tag), and also quite good viewing angles and uniformity. Not very wide color gamut and no HDR but none has at that price, It has a very good panel for being a VA, with the usual advantages as deep blacks but much better in other areas than usual VAs. It took long time for me to find a panel like this that was not as pricey as the G7, which anyway I think has worse uniformity and view angles, at least the sample I checked.
Please Dell S2522hg next 🙏 It was discounted to below $200 for months and many on forums say it should have a single OD experience from 240hz to 48hz with adaptive-sync enabled but i can only trust you Tim! (sadly no other reviewer bothered to show it's performance across the entire refresh range)
I'm a graphic designer and i want to choose a monitor in terms of color and content creation in this budget. which monitor should i choose Aoc 24g2 or this gigabyte. thx in advance.
Just picked up a two Dell 24" 1080p 165Hz G2422HS for $150. Had a $60 rewards so used that to bring each of them down to $120 instead. Even at the sale price is great monitor as I tend to like Dell monitors. I'm using it for half work and gaming as I wanted to upgrade my work issued Dell 22" 1080p 60Hz monitors to something slightly bigger. What a big difference. This is probably the max side by side setup that I would do as I would hate having to turn my head that far left and right at something bigger. I wanted to at least get 1440p monitors but there is no point as my work labtop through the Dell hub doesn't support anything beyond 1080p 60Hz so I was stuck with 1080p still which I don't mind at this small of a screen. Plus it's hard to impossible to find a 24" 1440p but at the same time I didn't want any scaling issues from 1080p content at such a large screen. I rather benefit from the native resolution instead. I also have a 55" S95B hooked up to my rig if I really want to game as well. Once you got OLED it's hard to go back.
Wanted to get mobius ex 240 but its never in stock was thinking of getting this instead do t want the msi cause the one one i have had panel issue after 9 month any other better optins available
"There's no golden monitors in the budget class." It can be argued that there aren't many golden monitors in the expensive bracket, either. There are ones that are damn close, but it feels like all of them have at least one issue or drawback in one place or another (quality control, firmware issues, software incompatibilities, fake HDR, fake HDMI 2.1, or even just WAY TOO MUCH MONEY). Only reason I finally grabbed a C2 is because of a significant price cut on Prime Day, and that its biggest shortfall (no adjustment in the stand) is something I can work around. Having said that, if I was still running my ancient 1050p 60Hz monitor, I'd probably consider this one as a cheap upgrade.
A short important notice. In the crevices of the panel frame, there are small slots where dust can get in. After over a year of using this monitor, I've started to notice internal dust specks on the panel. I assume they have entered through these crevices... 😔
@@godofdefeat A small dust vacuum should suffice. However, beyond cleaning, I believe a better solution would be to prevent the issue. I've chosen to place a thin strip of matte transparent adhesive tape over the crevices, just the necessary to cover them. I hope this works.
Both trash. My friends and I has garbage display after 11 months of using. Good thing still in warranty. They replaced it new.but im worried it will have the same problem after months
I have a serious question, why there are no 1440p 24 inch monitors out there? I know there are some TN or old stuff, but ppi on this size would feel amazing, almost like a 4k on a 32 inch.
That's what I want to, 24" 1440p and will not settle for anything else. There is an IPS monitor from AOC, AOC q24G2 and another from Philips 24M1N5500Z but nothing about them coming to the US or any legit place to order them, which is odd.
Can you test the Koorui 24e3 ? It‘s like $115 and according to optimumtech the best budget 1080p monitor 165hz, ips & apparently the same monitor as the pixio px248 pro
Hi! Any recommendation about the ASUS TUF VG249Q3A? I think that with this video I already ruled out the G24F 2, I need a monitor for Series S at 120 fps and this was one of the budget on my list. In the country where I am they do not sell the AOC 24G2 so it is not an option, sadly.
LG Ultragear 27GR75Q-B 27'' 1 ms QHD this monitor has been released recently and no reviews are available for it unfortunately would appreciate it if you can make a review it tim 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Question for anybody that may have used/owned/tested both: If there was the choice between this new or a used Alienware AW2521HF for the same price. Which one would be the wise pick?

Got a question for you. I've searched for weeks trying to find any example or definition for pg mini-oled as touted in Asrock's 34" monitor. Yet you journey down to actual specs and the panel is listed as VA. Isn't that an oxymoron and isn't rather misleading by Asrock or did some NEW tech show up.

If u are just a fast paced gamer, i would still choose AOC 24G4X, you can see if it's to your liking or order 2 of them and see side by side.
@Berkelll i care more about color and image quality i will buy g24f, also it has 2 usb ports, its fine im doing good with my 60hZ in gaming lol im sure this is big upgrade, ty for the info u made my day
@@raziel5008 No problem, enjoy. You can also try the AOC 24G2SPU. It has better image quality than G4 at least from what i expierenced and it's faster than Gigabyte. If u have money, buy them both and return one u feel is worse.
@@Berkelll I BOUGH g24f 2 for 150usd great monitor, i use dlss quality combined with 2.25X DLDSR pic quality great and sharp with great colors from g24f 2,
Can you guys provide an ICC profile download link for how you set this monitor in order for it to actually be color accurate? I'm a noob in terms of color calibration and I would really help if you guys could provide a link to the exact profile you ended up using to get a color accurate output of this monitor.
Wow, good timing! I was right now shopping for a 1080p high refresh rate monitor and the G24F and AOC 24G2SP were on the top of my list.
I still don't know which one to pick. No clear choice.
aoc for sure. Mines been great with no issues. It goes on sale a lot. I got mine for $150 US
24g2SP is VA panel right? If you play high paced fps games then just avoid VA panels in general.
@@theedstv it’s ips
Which one is better aoc g24spe or gigabyte g24f-2-tw?
my brother bought the aoc and i have g24f2. Was able to compare them side by side. Color performance and contrast of g24 is better in my opinion. But aoc didnt had inverse ghosting issues like g24. But also g24 has height adjustable stand and overall ease of use and build quality was better. You can't go wrong with either of them but my choice will be g24f2 again
Viewplus, Nvision, Gamdias and more. So many budget monitors here on asia, you have no idea.
Isn't it technically a 165Hz monitor, with 180Hz being a sort of "OC mode"? If so, why didn't you guys test 165Hz instead?
Because there is no single reason to avoid 180 hz mode
Please make 3 playlists for ips, va and oled monitors. It will be very convenient for people.
You guys could share your ICC profile after configuring this monitor (and others). I know it's not perfect and you should calibrate your own monitor but you know what would it hurt?
just got the og one yesterday and I use techless' icc profile, but that probably won't work for you because the display is slighlty different
@@mikediezel0923 Yea I know that one it actually gave me idea. But yes it's a bit different and I can't find ICC for 2nd revision.
did you ever find an ICC profile?
Was going to buy this some months ago but a lot of people reported factory issues with lines appearing after a month. Ended up going for a hp omen 25i, best decision I made, it has perfect calibration without touching anything and great modes. Also it supports a actually decent HDR compared to other monitors of this price range.
I went for a lenovo g24 20, brilliant so far
how is hp omen 25i?
Suggestion- You like the Pixio PX248 Prime Advanced. I'd love to see you look at the PX248 Pro to see if it's as good. The main reason I like the Pro more is that it has a height adjustable stand.
This really looks just like a 24" version of the G27Q as far as stats go, just in F not Q. Seems ok.
Now we need some of the budget 1440p 27" that are out there in the $220-250 range currently, even in the off brand stuff like KTC (which could actually be the OEM for a lot of manufacturers). Sceptre has decent stuff but nobody covers it and to me their 1 year warranty is a negative in a field that has a 3 year warranty standard.
Finding an M27Q 2.0 and testing that would be nice so we could see the difference between what obviously is 2 separate panels. There has to be a performance difference that we should see, since they advertise a bigger coverage of DCi-P3 at 95% instead of the 92% they claim on the 1.0.
Manufacturers advertise: 1ms
Reality: 16ms 🤣
well they don't care about overshoot when they are going for 1ms lol.
Thanks for the review. I’m in the market for a 1080p for my rtx 3060, and it’s maddening trying to find the right one. I’m looking more in the $180 ish range. Maybe I shouldn’t be so picky, considering I’ve been using a fixed rate TN for ages, anything should look better. 😅
I'm really loving my BenQ mobiuz ez240. I read a lot and it has a ePaper mode, amazing 😍
Regarding gaming, well it has blur reduction, 3 overdrive modes and w joystick...what else?
What did you get?
Thank you for the review Tim. Great job.
Just a suggestion, when reviewing height adjustable monitors mention its lowest possible height and tallest height in mm or inches. Manufacturers are often unclear in their websites of those facts. >_
not to mention that cheaper monitors can make good side monitors in a triple monitor setup, so long as the right things at least somewhat match the main. :)
Just a heads up if you are watching this video for recommendations, do not pick the G27F 2 that model is defective and it will fail in less than a year, go for this one the G24F2 instead. I made the mistake of choosing the G27F2 because I wanted a bigger monitor and now I'm having to go through the warranty
Why would you buy 27 inch monitor with 1080P resolution on first place? also Gigabyte is known for trash quality so I'm not surprised.
@@IAMNOTRANA Because I'm fine with 1080p? If its not for work then getting a 1440p or 2160p monitor is dumb as hell, you'd be paying 2 to 3 times more for the same product. And yes Gigabyte has had a bad reputation lately I'm aware about the mobo and psu kerfuffle.
Or do you mean that at 27 inches it would be better to go 1440p for the PPI scaling?
My G24F 2 only lasted 7 months before lines started flickering on screen. What a waste.
@@Playerism Mine gave me issues 5 months in and by the 6 months the lines weren't going away after hours, I feel you bro
@@Playerism Mine lasted a year, but gigabyte is pretty good with warranty, I sent it back to them and they replaced it with a new one in just 12 days
Grabbed this for C$160 last year, the height adjustment is really nice for the price but too bad I had 2 dead pixels :(
out of the box?
@@V0ayger Out of the box yeah, just unlucky
i would not recomand this monitor the picture is amazing but the quality is trash for very fast time will appear horizontal lines its factory problem
Ihave this first version works great
mine just broke 11months used 😢 good thing its still in warranty
Glad u review budget monitors❤❤❤
Colour calibration details for Gigabyte G24F 2?
Please :)
This is actually an amazing 1080p monitor. The level of quality and polish is way above the asking price, and would have cost you at least double a few years ago. It's so good it really puts into question "budget" monitors that have always hovered around $100. Many of these budget monitors are bottom barrel and you can tell immediately from poor colors and atrocious IPS glow and black uniformity. So why wouldn't you pay the extra $50 to get such a big jump in quality? It reminds me of buying pro Dell monitors back in the day, sure they were so much more expensive for the specs but when you actually used it the polish was immediately evident. Now you don't have to pay those prices, so I think in 2023 if you're settling for these super cheap IPS and VA you're just getting scammed. Cheap VAs still have smearing bad enough to make them bad for most games, and I've seen plenty of IPS with backlights so bad they're basically unusable, even for productivity.
I blind bought the G24F2 based on the rep of the previous model and the fact it seemed to have an above average panel, and the bet paid off. These were actually super cheap when they first released at Microcenter at the end of last year; I walked out the door with one for like $120! Even as just a secondary monitor this is a good pickup now. My only complaints are you can sometimes see glue in the gap for the "frameless" design and IPS contrast still is nothing special, but decent black levels and uniformity alleviate this a lot (nothing is worse than IPS glow, ugh).
Can u show Ur settings?

I bought this monitor when it was on sale for that amazing price of $150 and it only lasted 7 months before lines started flickering all over the screen. Don’t buy. It came out of nowhere
I have had mine since it nearly first came out with no complaints prob just need to take better care great monitor
I must have one with a different panel because HDR is 100% worth using... I even have to turn down brightness in HDR settings because it is way too bright. For normal desktop usage I set it to 27% brightness wich is plenty sitting near a window. Color is also awesome with no banding at all.
Pixio PX248 Prime Advanced don't exist in EU shops. AOC, Gigabyte, LG, BenQ, Samsung, Dell etc. but not Pixio :( If only BenQ Zowie lineup have 1440p panel.
Thank you for the review. Please share the ICC profile.
Hello. So which one should you choose: GIGABYTE G24F2 or AOC 24G2SP? Thank you
What this review taught me is that the Pixio 248 Prime Advance is the better buy.
Anyone had a problem at the bottom of the screen? I had 1 horizontal line come up. Now It's like 10-15 small likes across the screen at the bottom. Soon later, white line jitter came up
Yep.
Me too and my friends too.
Turns out that is common problem for this monitor. Suck ass build quality.
Had to return it to claim guarantee.
I'll never buy from this brand again.
Yup mine has that problem to after 1 year usage, but on indonesian forum gigabyte RMA to GS27F from May till today late Agust still no news from gigabyte.
Hey Tim, great review! I recently got the Dell S2722DGM, which is a little bit old 1440p 165 Hz monitor, but I have been very impressed with its quality after trying myself a few other monitors (like the AOC CQ27G2), especially considering the low price tag (I got for 200 euros, but I saw it's often going under 200 dollars in US). I think this is definitely a bang for bucks, I hope you will considering it for review.
They already reviewed a monitor which is probably just a variant of the same monitor you are mentioning, except it had DGF in the model name.
@@C0BEX That's the S2721DGF, which is a completely different monitor despite the similar name. That has an LG Nano IPS panel and costs more, despite now it's also going on sale many times. The one I have is a VA panel, generally much cheaper. In terms of specs they are very similar, but I think that for price and performance the 22 model is way more convenient. It has among the best response times for a budget VA I have ever seen (not as Odyssey G7 of course but better than most competitors in its price tag), and also quite good viewing angles and uniformity. Not very wide color gamut and no HDR but none has at that price, It has a very good panel for being a VA, with the usual advantages as deep blacks but much better in other areas than usual VAs. It took long time for me to find a panel like this that was not as pricey as the G7, which anyway I think has worse uniformity and view angles, at least the sample I checked.
Please Dell S2522hg next 🙏
It was discounted to below $200 for months and many on forums say it should have a single OD experience from 240hz to 48hz with adaptive-sync enabled but i can only trust you Tim! (sadly no other reviewer bothered to show it's performance across the entire refresh range)
Is there a possibility to see an in-depth review of the Lg 24GN60R from you guys?
Yeees
Is there anyway we could get the ICC profile?
What's the best color calibrated setting for this monitor then?
Using the monitor's inbuilt Custom profiles?
I'm a graphic designer and i want to choose a monitor in terms of color and content creation in this budget. which monitor should i choose Aoc 24g2 or this gigabyte. thx in advance.
Gigabyte G24F 2 or iiyama G-Master G2470HSU or AOC 24G4X?
Which one will be better and faster?
Just picked up a two Dell 24" 1080p 165Hz G2422HS for $150. Had a $60 rewards so used that to bring each of them down to $120 instead. Even at the sale price is great monitor as I tend to like Dell monitors. I'm using it for half work and gaming as I wanted to upgrade my work issued Dell 22" 1080p 60Hz monitors to something slightly bigger. What a big difference. This is probably the max side by side setup that I would do as I would hate having to turn my head that far left and right at something bigger.
I wanted to at least get 1440p monitors but there is no point as my work labtop through the Dell hub doesn't support anything beyond 1080p 60Hz so I was stuck with 1080p still which I don't mind at this small of a screen. Plus it's hard to impossible to find a 24" 1440p but at the same time I didn't want any scaling issues from 1080p content at such a large screen. I rather benefit from the native resolution instead.
I also have a 55" S95B hooked up to my rig if I really want to game as well. Once you got OLED it's hard to go back.
Great review that helps me in my purchasing decision. Although I have a doubt, is it 8 bits or is it 6 bits + FRC?. Greetings and new subscriber.
Amazing job. Can you review Asus VG249Q3A sirr
Uppp, Yeah cant find any reviews on this moni too
Can you test the new hp omen 27qs please.
Tim speaking of budget monitors, is it possible for you to test more Sceptre models, like the IPS 1440p 144hz/165hz offerings, thanks!
Wanted to get mobius ex 240 but its never in stock was thinking of getting this instead do t want the msi cause the one one i have had panel issue after 9 month any other better optins available
Need ICC profile of This Gigabyte G24F 2. please share it.
Same here, if you have it I would greatly appreciate it if you share it bro 🫡
have this model for a year now and starting to get stuck pixels
Smart OD on UFO test actually looks just the same as Speed mode. Quite alot of overshoot.
Love your content as always, But can you please review the Koorui 24E3? Cause i just wanna know your opinion about that monitor
well not bad. got it for $120 CAD or 87.71 USD. very pleased with if from my 60 hz display
@monitorsunboxed If you guys calibrated the monitor why didn't you provide the icc profile we also want it calibrated
"There's no golden monitors in the budget class." It can be argued that there aren't many golden monitors in the expensive bracket, either. There are ones that are damn close, but it feels like all of them have at least one issue or drawback in one place or another (quality control, firmware issues, software incompatibilities, fake HDR, fake HDMI 2.1, or even just WAY TOO MUCH MONEY). Only reason I finally grabbed a C2 is because of a significant price cut on Prime Day, and that its biggest shortfall (no adjustment in the stand) is something I can work around. Having said that, if I was still running my ancient 1050p 60Hz monitor, I'd probably consider this one as a cheap upgrade.
Please upload the calibrated icc profile this monitor. 🙏🙏🙏
Planning to buy this as my office monitor. I wonder if you could share the icc profile for calibrated profile?
Finally been waiting for a review for this.
Could you also do the lenovo g24 20
A short important notice. In the crevices of the panel frame, there are small slots where dust can get in. After over a year of using this monitor, I've started to notice internal dust specks on the panel. I assume they have entered through these crevices... 😔
Got any suggestions on how to clean em?
@@godofdefeat A small dust vacuum should suffice. However, beyond cleaning, I believe a better solution would be to prevent the issue. I've chosen to place a thin strip of matte transparent adhesive tape over the crevices, just the necessary to cover them. I hope this works.
Tim could you review the MSI G274QPX 27" it's a 240hz 1440p at 379.99 in the US since the gigabyte option hasn't been available.
Gigabyte g24f vs gigabyte g24f 2 which one is good??
v.2 has improved coils. In v.1 they were noisy above 60hz
Both trash. My friends and I has garbage display after 11 months of using. Good thing still in warranty. They replaced it new.but im worried it will have the same problem after months
I have a serious question, why there are no 1440p 24 inch monitors out there? I know there are some TN or old stuff, but ppi on this size would feel amazing, almost like a 4k on a 32 inch.
That's what I want to, 24" 1440p and will not settle for anything else. There is an IPS monitor from AOC, AOC q24G2 and another from Philips 24M1N5500Z but nothing about them coming to the US or any legit place to order them, which is odd.
Debating between the G24F 2 and AOC 24G2SP, I mostly play competitive shooters like Valo
Which one did you choose?
@@siriusblack013 AOC, seemed like the better monitor for FPS games
@@maxi3301 how is color quality? satisfied?

Hi! Any recommendation about the ASUS TUF VG249Q3A? I think that with this video I already ruled out the G24F 2, I need a monitor for Series S at 120 fps and this was one of the budget on my list.
In the country where I am they do not sell the AOC 24G2 so it is not an option, sadly.

If there was the choice between this new or a used Alienware AW2521HF for the same price. Which one would be the wise pick?
New just always better
2521 ofc
Are all Viewsonic monitors just rebrands of other monitors? I rarely see them included on good review sites.
Will you be reviewing new mini led monitors like Innocn 27m2v?
Would you have any review about IPS 1440p 240hz? like Acer Nitro XV272UX, iiyama G-Master GB2790QSU-B1 Gold Phoenix, OMEN 27qs? the 2 first one have attractive price at the moment around 400euros

Which one should i get MSI G255f or Gigabyte g24f 2 ? I am confused 😕

Got a question for you. I've searched for weeks trying to find any example or definition for pg mini-oled as touted in Asrock's 34" monitor. Yet you journey down to actual specs and the panel is listed as VA. Isn't that an oxymoron and isn't rather misleading by Asrock or did some NEW tech show up. I've heard of mini-LED and micro-LED but never mini-OLED. Is it real? Talking about ASRock Phantom PG34WQ15R3A 34"
