I don't understand how you don't have way more views and subscribers, these are some of the best most in-depth reviews i have seen and on monitors for which no one else has covered so there is limited competition! Keep up the amazing work you do!
If you guys put a V shaped stand on this at 24 inches i would be more inclined to buy it. Especially if there was some more features/improvements in either color profile, panel, or refresh rate being 240hz even at a $300 or $400 price range for those features.
Thank you so much for doing this review! I currently have two 24inch 1080p 144hz ultragears and wanted something that would fit in and not have weird issues near the edge whike having the option to edit in 1440p. Its insane how the US is allergic to 24inch high refresh 2k monitors. They seem to be a lot more common in the UK and China weirdly but its definitely not ideal to pay 250 pounds and 100 more pounds on top of four month shipping lol
Looking forward to buying this monitor. I’m glad I stumbled upon your video. Great in-depth review! Your channel deserves a lot more subs and likes for what you put out. Thanks for this!
@@PCMonitors I was initially eyeing the 27” QHD IPS model they have (27E3Q) but now because I’ve watched your review, I’m torn between having a 27” QHD and spending a bit more or buying this monitor instead for cheap. By the way this is for a laptop desk setup I’m planning. Which would you recommend? I’d really appreciate your opinion on this.
@@isaac_avila I have no opinion on the other model, so entirely up to you depending on size preferences and how much you prefer to spend. How far you think you'll be sitting from the monitor might be a factor as well. Even 23.8" will be a big upgrade from your laptop screen in terms of size.
Hello, I recently purchased this monitor since it's the only one available in the US that is 1440p at 24 inches. However, I noticed that that OSD looks completely different than the one shown on your best settings video. Did I manage to get a different version/worse version of the Koorui GP01 monitor? Also, I can't tell if the monitor is broken or if it is the cable that came with the monitor (Displayport) but when I try to run the monitor at 1440p 165hz, it starts turning on and off and ends up becoming unusable. However if I set it to 1440p 60Hz, then the monitor runs fine. Do I need to buy another Displayport Cable or is my monitor broken? I know that the HDMI ports are HDMI 2.0 but do you know if the Displayport is 1.4 or 1.2? The images on the amazon listing say it is 1.2, but I don't know how to verify whether mine is 1.2 or 1.4. Sorry for all the questions and thank you for the video review. This is my first gaming monitor so I got concerned when it wasn't functioning properly. P.S.: The model number that came in my box was "Product Model: MG24P1Q". I couldn't find any information online about it.
They might've changed the OSD with newer revisions. The monitor ports are probably 'DP 1.2a+' = DP 1.2 bandwidth with DP 1.4 features. Doesn't matter for 2560 x 1440 @165Hz 8-bit as supported by the screen. You should try a different DP cable, reinstalling GPU drivers and also power cycling the monitor. So leave it connected to the GPU, unplug the monitor power cable, wait a few minutes and plug it back in.
@@PCMonitors Finally tried the new DP cable that came in today and it seems like the issue at 165Hz is gone. I'm glad the issue was the DP cable and not the monitor itself. Having 1440p at 165Hz on a 24 inch screen is so good. I wonder if I ended up getting a different panel because when I went to select the higher refresh rate, my monitor goes all the way up to 180Hz. However I believe that the max bandwidth for DP 1.2 is 1440p at 165Hz so I'll stick with it that instead. I tried to find some info online but I'm a little confused on what Dark field bright effect and MPRT do?
Thank you for this review! Now I can buy it and have a peace of mind that is a good monitor. AOC Q24G2 is not available in my country, and there is no other 24" 1440 monitor available here except for this.
@@PhillipJermakianAre you referring to AOC Q24G2? I can't find the review from Hardware Unboxed channel.👀 But you said "last week" and your comment was 2 weeks ago, meaning it is around 3 weeks or so. Then there is a review from Monitor Unboxed about AOC but it is AOC 24G4 around 1 month ago🤔
Hello, i'm testing this monitor and the AOC counterpart. I'm experiencing white text and pages fatigue on the Koorui, while the AOC is softer and less aggressive on me eyes. Do you think this differences can be attributed to the panel tolerances or to the different electronics driving the panels? I really like the slick design of the Koorui and the stick interface, but this issue is pushing me towords the AOC. Thank you for the reviews!
Possible differences in calibration or you have a high brightness sensitivity. The AOC has a significantly lower minimum brightness as covered in the review.
Do you lose details because of this size? (talking about gaming) Is 1440p too much for 24" or is this a misconception? So would a 27" 1440p have less details on paper because of the PPI, but actually have more details because it is bigger? Thank you. Great reviews as always.
I talk about the experience in the review and this linked section of a similar review - pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-q24g2a-bk/#The_238%E2%80%9D_QHD_experience. The pixel density isn't outrageously high or anything - some people (including me) game on '4K' UHD screens that are 27-32" with much higher pixel density. The difference in pixel density on the KOORUI is ~12% compared to a 27" QHD screen. As for the physical size, entirely depends on your eyesight and viewing distance whether you will appreciate the details enough or consider them "lost".
Is the text clarity for this monitor much better than that of a 27" 1440p monitor? I have gone through two 27" 1440p monitor thinking it was a my hardware but even the more expensive ones on display in store also had blurry text. Does reducing the the screen size to 23.8" really help with text clarity?
It provides a ~12% tighter pixel density. Whether that's sufficient for you to consider the text 'crisp' is subjective and also depends on viewing distance.
I just bought the koorui 25e3q monitor, it's also a 1440p 24 inch monitor. Do you plan on doing a review on that one ? Would love to hear your thoughts about it

Thanks for the review. I bought this monitor and once i turn HDR off the Monitor becomes super washed out and greyish. I tried messing around with brightness, gamma, rgb, scenario modes, etc but it seems no setting make it normal again. Did you experience something like this?
@@PCMonitors I figured out it was because my PS5 setting had HDR always on despite turning it off on my monitor which caused misalignment. I guess console settings take priority. Thanks for the reply
Hi sir between this and the aoc alternative what would you choose? In my case the price difference Is pretty negligible. Thanks in Advance for the answer :)
Good and complete Review. I was thinking about buying the 25e3q because it is 20 bucks cheaper than the gp01 but I can't find much information or reviews about the 25e3q. Is there any important difference why this is 20 bucks cheaper?
Can you use this as a 24'' 1080p 165hz so you can squeeze more fps from your card? And does it look bad when doing it? I was thinking on switching between 1080 and 1440 depending on the game.
This is covered in the intro of the video. 4:35. You're better off running the screen at 1440p and reducing other graphics settings before touching resolution. With technologies like DSR and many games having resolution scale sliders, you shouldn't have too much trouble optimising performance in most cases.
Is the text sharp and clear? I'd be sitting about 70-80cm away from the screen and I program quite a bit - so I want crisp font, but there are few 4k 24inch monitors left on the market 😞
Your first question is addressed in the review, wrapped up in the conclusion. As for your second question, the answer is no unless you set it too high and don't like overshoot. The monitor itself doesn't care.
Alas, this would've been perfect with an strobed backlight. I wish Koorui had maintained that feature, as the AOC has it. The monitor search (in the US) continues, as the AOC is still not sold in the US.
I don't use games consoles so can't answer that with certainty. But I believe it should work on the PS5 at 1440p 120Hz, on the Xbox it may be limited to 1080p for 120Hz. It's good for 120Hz (120fps) gaming as per the review.
Subjective really. I'd say 24" 1080p to 1440p is more noticeable, but 27" '4K' still has a significant edge in clarity. Not everyone will notice that, it depends in part on eyesight and just how you perceive things.
Would you recommend this over the Benq Mobiuz ex240? I would like the best 24 inch monitor for competitive gaming on my PS5 that is also good all around. Any help is appreciated!
I don't own a PS5 but from what reliable sources have told me in the past - it's not powerful enough to do that. It runs at 120Hz but that doesn't mean it will consistently run at 120fps. It will dynamically reduce the render resolution in some scenes and titles when things get really heavy, but apparently on games like Warzone you'd still get dips to 80fps or so.
It definitely has 120Hz as a listed refresh rate for 1440p, but the Xbox can be awkward in how it needs resolutions to be listed to be "readable". I only use PCs so I can't check myself and I haven't received specific user feedback on this. If somebody is having trouble it might just be a simple Xbox settings change is required - pcmonitors.info/articles/monitors-for-console-gaming/#Shouldnt_I_get_a_120Hz_monitor. P.S. Gave this comment a heart so hopefully an Xbox user can see it and confirm either way.
This monitor arrived today for my series X. I cannot for the life of me get it to do 1440p @ 120hz. 1440p @60hz yes 1080p @ 120hz yes but it says 1440p @120hz is not supported. Yes I used to HDMI cable supplied with series X and the HDMI ports on the monitor are listed as 2.0 but for some reason the monitor will not do 1440p 120hz over HDMI.
@@GoYourOwnWay86 Getting 1440p120hz to work on consoles can be a bit finicky. You need to change some settings in other to make it work. Try this guide youtu. be/hAGALLZbiPw. (remove that space) By the way, adaptive sync is sometimes called freesync or Variable Refresh Rate on some monitors. I'd make sure HDR is disabled as well in the monitor settings). If that guide doesn't help, there are similar guides on youtube that might help. I'd also consider trying a different HDMI port. Let me know if you manage to fix it. I've seen a lot of people with the same issue.
@@WrexBF thanks for the heads up but I’ve tried both hdmi ports (which are both listed as 2.0) I have tried ever single different setting recommend online or though Reddit etc. I have tried everything. I just don’t think Koorui monitors can do 120/1440p on the series X and I’ll just have to accept it.
Are you going to review the AOC Q27G3XMN? It is perhaps the only 27" non-curved VA miniLED display with high refresh rate, and the price is attractive to boot. It might be the only game in town if you want sharp text, deep blacks and high refresh rates in a relatively compact package. I'd love to see your assessment of the local dimming algorithm and would generally like to know about the sort of details and niggles that you always talk about, but other reviewers mysteriously leave out. (BTW, I was very excited to come across your website. What an absolute gem. The Articles section in particular is a uniquely in-depth resource on topics like desktop experience, viewing comfort and text clarity.)
@@PCMonitors That's great to hear. Do you think you'll be able to record a review within the next month or so? I'm really overdue for a monitor upgrade :)
It's unlikely to be in the next month but shouldn't be much longer I hope. I'm currently reviewing another monitor and I haven't been notified of shipping from AOC, so it really depends on when they ship it and what else I've got on the go. Shipping takes a while as it's being sent internationally via their EU HQ.
I can't choose between this or a 27" 1440p monitor. I feel like 1440p is too small at this size in games. I constantly feel like the detail is there, but I need to look out for it. What do you think? Is 27" better for 1440p? I feel like 24" is sharper, but you need to put the monitor closer. Also, in games, yes, I feel like games are more "clearer" like there is less aliasing in the distance, less blur... But also the detail thing I mentioned it is weird.. What do you think..?
@@schnitzel9715 Entirely down to personal preferences. I prefer the immersion of larger screens as well. Keep an eye out for our upcoming review of the MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2, which is a good example of a highly vibrant 27" QHD screen.
@@PCMonitors Thank you. I was eyeing with the more budget option, the MSI G272QPF E2 but there are no reviews of that. In the end, I might end up with this 24" 1440p monitor, not sure if it is worth the hasle of returning it. Maybe my eyesight is just bad for not seeing the details
Bonjour. Quel est le meilleur en terme d’input lag entre l’aoc et le Koorui pour jouer à Warzone ? J’aimerai celui qui a le plus faible décalage d’entrée .
@@PCMonitors d’accord donc peu importe que ce soit l’un ou l’autre. Car j’avais lu ou vu sur un visuel de aoc que c’était vraiment très bas. Et seconde question. Pensez vous que le décalage d’entrée soit plus bas que mon actuel Samsung G7 27 pouces 240hz qui est en dalle VA. Car je me tâte à passer sur du 24 pouces 1440P 165hz pour Warzone. Je ne sais pas si j’y verrai un bénéfice .
@@PCMonitors vous voulez dire que le Koorui ou l’aoc 24 pouces 1440p 165hz seront plus performants que le Samsung G7 27pouces 1440P 240hz ? Par avance merci de votre retour.
if only this had a single overdrive experience :( i hate having to change OD settings everytime i change from one game to another for the proper motion handling experience.
Il faut utiliser le mode fps pour avoir l’input lag le plus faible et il faut régler loverdrive sur extrême ? Car quand je met le mode fps l’écran baisse en luminosité.
The same as recommended for 120Hz on the PC. Either 'Off' or 'Normal' depending on your own overshoot sensitivity. Generally would recommend trying 'Normal' and only switching to 'Off' if the overshoot bothers you a lot. 38:10.
Is this discontinued? I hope not as it is the only 1440p 24 inch monitor available and I literally can’t buy a 27 inch because it won’t physically fit in my setup.
DP 1.4 is specified in images on KOORUI's site, but some of their text seems to be a possible copy and paste error mentioning "DP 1.2", and other sites might've re-copied that... Either way the actual port revision is irrelevant, the full capabilities of the monitor are delivered via DP. If it is actually "DP 1.2" it's DP 1.2a+ (HDR feature set) which is all it needs. Having DP 1.4 would bring no practical advantage over that on this model, unless DSC was used to deliver 10-bit 165Hz QHD (which it isn't). As covered in the review, that would be of little practical benefit for most people.
@@PCMonitorsthank you because I tought that maybe I will see some artifact/fliker due to the cheap price for a 2k monitor but if you confirm that at least yours is good I’ll buy it
Do you think this monitor would be a definitive upgrade from a LG GN650-B? It's 1080p monitor however it has very good colour accuracy and responsiveness. I'm worried the 1440p upgrade will be overshadowed by the lesser colour gamut and slower responsiveness.
The responsiveness of the monitor is actually quite good as covered in the review. And the colour gamut is similar so I'm not sure why you're concerned about that, either?
I think it's a much nicer resolution. The much improved pixel density really helps the clarity when gaming, including how distinct enemies look vs. the background in the distance and just gives a crisper look to edges, texture details etc. 240Hz is nice as well, but not everyone feels the benefits as much. Personally I can see and feel the difference and like it, though I wouldn't say it makes me MUCH better as a gamer and actually feel more of a competitive edge from a resolution bump compared to just going from 165Hz to 240Hz.
Then adjust the colour channels. Also, you might've become used to a badly calibrated screen that you were using before. Or were simply using a screen with a very different backlight spectrum. That can also change how you perceive whites.
The more pressing issue should be the obvious size difference. The performance of this model is assessed in detail in this review, no experience with the VG27AQ3A specifically.
3:04 No not really, a 4K 32" does indeed have higher pixel density but it's not significant from a 1440p 24" , only 137 vs 122 PPI, nothing crazy. I'd say that for a lot of people, they might not even notice the difference in just gaming and text reading unless it's a 27" 4K
Many 32" '4K' models are 31.5" so you can round to ~140 PPI - but either way it's ~13-14% difference. The difference in PPI is "only" 81.59 vs. 91.79 (~12%) comparing a 24" and 27" Full HD screen as well, but the difference in the experience is very significant to some and something many will shout about. People have brought this difference up many, many times when discussing monitors with me over the years. Mathematically, that ~13-14% difference also exceeds the difference between ~24" and 27" QHD screens. I know there's a case of diminishing returns comparing 23.8" QHD and 31.5" UHD plus it's subjective, but for me the difference is significant. And I am very familiar with that experience as I own multiple ~32" '4K' UHD screens. But it's difficult to isolate just the pixel density, in terms of the overall experience people will have it will also be about having 'details' spread out across a larger area so the subtleties are easier to appreciate.
@@PCMonitors Yeah you're right, it also heavily depends on viewing distance, some maniacs out there will still sit arm's length (≈70cm) even from a 32" monitor which is a little too close imo for eye strain
I currently have a Dell S2417DG and love it and have been wanting a 2nd one to replace my 2nd 1080p monitor but the dell is like $300-400 each time i find one on sale. This seems a good deal (rn on amazon its sub $200) So i will pick one up and compare it to my current Dell.
@@MiroLite Because it is one of the very few 24 inch 1440p 165hz and was the only one available at the time in my local region, and it is also reasonable price!
If it's greyed out it's because you're running in HDR, most likely. This is mentioned in the "Best Settings" (and OSD) videos. You'd need to disable HDR on your system to unlock the control (and I don't recommend HDR on this monitor, as per the review it's not a good experience).
This aspect is covered in the review, early on. And moreover in the linked written piece; pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-q24g2a-bk/#The_238%E2%80%9D_QHD_experience .
Well it has low input lag reliably recorded (~1.68ms), so if you've got the monitor set to 165Hz you should get a very low signal delay. Could be something else you're perceiving, such as dips in frame rate on your system or if you're coming from a monitor with a different resolution or pixel density. Which can affect your perception when interacting with the monitor.

Does the monitor have automatic input swapping? This is a big deal for me as I switch between Mac & Windows a lot
Doesn't seem to have - ruclips.net/video/620RbQku1VU/видео.htmlsi=-yV3jgQ768vP9S4L&t=658.
@@PCMonitors thank you. Genuine appreciation for you checking. Very good of you
Good and complete Review. I was thinking about buying the 25e3q because it is 20 bucks cheaper than the gp01 but I can't find much information or reviews about the 25e3q. Is there any important difference why this is 20 bucks cheaper?
Not sure, don't have experience with that model so can't recommend it specifically.
Can you use this as a 24'' 1080p 165hz so you can squeeze more fps from your card? And does it look bad when doing it? I was thinking on switching between 1080 and 1440 depending on the game.
This is covered in the intro of the video. 4:35. You're better off running the screen at 1440p and reducing other graphics settings before touching resolution. With technologies like DSR and many games having resolution scale sliders, you shouldn't have too much trouble optimising performance in most cases.
Is the one you reviewed a non US version or did they update the firmware? My osd is red and the monitor is 180hz.
I'm not sure if they specifically have different versions for different markets. They might've updated the firmware.
@@PCMonitors this updated version supports 180hz 10bit 1440p over DP. Also added MPRT and a sharpness slider.
Is the text sharp and clear? I'd be sitting about 70-80cm away from the screen and I program quite a bit - so I want crisp font, but there are few 4k 24inch monitors left on the market 😞
Generally, yes. My thoughts are covered in the review introduction.
What would you say is better, the AOC or the Koorui? For Gaming.
And are there any downsides to activating the overdrive mode on either of them?
Your first question is addressed in the review, wrapped up in the conclusion. As for your second question, the answer is no unless you set it too high and don't like overshoot. The monitor itself doesn't care.
Alas, this would've been perfect with an strobed backlight. I wish Koorui had maintained that feature, as the AOC has it. The monitor search (in the US) continues, as the AOC is still not sold in the US.
Just ordered mine!! I have a ps5 and Xbox Series X
Did it arrive? How is it?
Asking like the other guy, how is the monitor as I’m in the same situation (ps5)
I ended up canceling the order and pulled the trigger on a ASUS 1440p/4k 240hz monitor with dual 2.1 hdmi inputs
Amazing review! Please can you review koorui 25E3Q, it’s the 24.5 inch version which is also IPS. I would appreciate it keep up the good work
Won't be looking at that one as they don't stock it in the US where most of our supporting users are based.
@@PCMonitorswhat about the Titan Army p2510S?
Does this monitor run 120 hz on xbox and ps5 ? Ive heard that it doesnt. Also, would this be good for 120 fps fps games on console ?
I don't use games consoles so can't answer that with certainty. But I believe it should work on the PS5 at 1440p 120Hz, on the Xbox it may be limited to 1080p for 120Hz. It's good for 120Hz (120fps) gaming as per the review.
is there a massive diffrence from 24" 1440p to 27" 4k? is the diffrence bigger/same compared to 24" 1080p to 24" 1440p?
Subjective really. I'd say 24" 1080p to 1440p is more noticeable, but 27" '4K' still has a significant edge in clarity. Not everyone will notice that, it depends in part on eyesight and just how you perceive things.
i have the q24g2 and i feel like its not enough, i would prefer 24-25 inch 4k but sadly that doesnt exist so 27 inch it is.@@PCMonitors
Would you recommend this over the Benq Mobiuz ex240? I would like the best 24 inch monitor for competitive gaming on my PS5 that is also good all around. Any help is appreciated!
For competitive gaming you'd want to maximise FPS and would be running the PS5 at Full HD, so the EX240 would be better.
@@PCMonitors Isn't the ps5 able to run at 1440p and 120 fps consistently though? Since QHD is supported now.
I don't own a PS5 but from what reliable sources have told me in the past - it's not powerful enough to do that. It runs at 120Hz but that doesn't mean it will consistently run at 120fps. It will dynamically reduce the render resolution in some scenes and titles when things get really heavy, but apparently on games like Warzone you'd still get dips to 80fps or so.
@@PCMonitors Ahh that's a shame. Any other monitor you would recommend or should I go with the ex240?
For example, 1440p and 120 fps seems pretty consistent here: ruclips.net/video/UkuE7xM3gYU/видео.htmlsi=6Rpbo_usZZ6EvDYu
What is the input delay of this monitor at 60 HZ?
How does this compare to other Koorui monitors? It seems that the GP01 isn't available in my region.
No idea, haven't used any and they'll all be different just like models from other manufacturers are all different to one another.
Would it be worth getting this as a primary gaming monitor against my AW2327DF?
Only if you really want a smaller screen.
This or the LG 27gr75 at the same price? For gaming and text related work. I don't care about screen estate. Would use both at 125% scaling
My recommendation(s) are clear - pcmonitors.info/articles/best-gaming-monitors/.
Love the review, but will you be reviewing the koorui 24e3q ? Its another 1440p 24 inch monitor.
Yes. Not that it makes a practical difference, but it's technically 25" if you round up from 24.5" (hence the model code). 😉
@PCMonitors LMAO !! But thank you so much. I can't find the gp0, and would love to find out if the new one is a Good buy.
The 24e3q is not 1440p, it's 1080.
Can you adjust the monitor height all the way down? I prefer the monitor close to the ground
Does 1440p120hz works on XBOX series X/S? I've seen a lot of people having trouble getting it to work.
It definitely has 120Hz as a listed refresh rate for 1440p, but the Xbox can be awkward in how it needs resolutions to be listed to be "readable". I only use PCs so I can't check myself and I haven't received specific user feedback on this. If somebody is having trouble it might just be a simple Xbox settings change is required - pcmonitors.info/articles/monitors-for-console-gaming/#Shouldnt_I_get_a_120Hz_monitor.
P.S. Gave this comment a heart so hopefully an Xbox user can see it and confirm either way.
This monitor arrived today for my series X. I cannot for the life of me get it to do 1440p @ 120hz. 1440p @60hz yes 1080p @ 120hz yes but it says 1440p @120hz is not supported.
Yes I used to HDMI cable supplied with series X and the HDMI ports on the monitor are listed as 2.0 but for some reason the monitor will not do 1440p 120hz over HDMI.
@@GoYourOwnWay86 Getting 1440p120hz to work on consoles can be a bit finicky. You need to change some settings in other to make it work. Try this guide youtu. be/hAGALLZbiPw. (remove that space)
By the way, adaptive sync is sometimes called freesync or Variable Refresh Rate on some monitors. I'd make sure HDR is disabled as well in the monitor settings).
If that guide doesn't help, there are similar guides on youtube that might help. I'd also consider trying a different HDMI port.
Let me know if you manage to fix it. I've seen a lot of people with the same issue.
@@WrexBF thanks for the heads up but I’ve tried both hdmi ports (which are both listed as 2.0) I have tried ever single different setting recommend online or though Reddit etc. I have tried everything. I just don’t think Koorui monitors can do 120/1440p on the series X and I’ll just have to accept it.

Are you going to review the AOC Q27G3XMN? It is perhaps the only 27" non-curved VA miniLED display with high refresh rate, and the price is attractive to boot. It might be the only game in town if you want sharp text, deep blacks and high refresh rates in a relatively compact package. I'd love to see your assessment of the local dimming algorithm and would generally like to know about the sort of details and niggles that you always talk about, but other reviewers mysteriously leave out. (BTW, I was very excited to come across your website. What an absolute gem. The Articles section in particular is a uniquely in-depth resource on topics like desktop experience, viewing comfort and text clarity.)
Glad you like the unique details! Yes, have requested that from AOC. Very nice price on that one.
@@PCMonitors That's great to hear. Do you think you'll be able to record a review within the next month or so? I'm really overdue for a monitor upgrade :)
It's unlikely to be in the next month but shouldn't be much longer I hope. I'm currently reviewing another monitor and I haven't been notified of shipping from AOC, so it really depends on when they ship it and what else I've got on the go. Shipping takes a while as it's being sent internationally via their EU HQ.
I can't choose between this or a 27" 1440p monitor. I feel like 1440p is too small at this size in games. I constantly feel like the detail is there, but I need to look out for it. What do you think? Is 27" better for 1440p?
I feel like 24" is sharper, but you need to put the monitor closer.
Also, in games, yes, I feel like games are more "clearer" like there is less aliasing in the distance, less blur... But also the detail thing I mentioned it is weird.. What do you think..?
And do you think if it would be a good idea to return this for a 27" hich has better contrast and colors?
@@schnitzel9715 Entirely down to personal preferences. I prefer the immersion of larger screens as well. Keep an eye out for our upcoming review of the MSI MAG 274QRF QD E2, which is a good example of a highly vibrant 27" QHD screen.
@@PCMonitors Thank you. I was eyeing with the more budget option, the MSI G272QPF E2 but there are no reviews of that. In the end, I might end up with this 24" 1440p monitor, not sure if it is worth the hasle of returning it. Maybe my eyesight is just bad for not seeing the details
Thanks for review. Could you please explain how to turn on VRR on PS5. I’ve tried use different hdmi cables, but it’s doesn’t work.
You can't, because the monitor doesn't include HDMI 2.1. VRR on this is Adaptive-Sync only, which the PS5 doesn't support.
@@PCMonitors ohh, I’ve motion sickness, I thought may be VRR help me to play video games.
Bonjour. Quel est le meilleur en terme d’input lag entre l’aoc et le Koorui pour jouer à Warzone ? J’aimerai celui qui a le plus faible décalage d’entrée .
Comme indiqué dans les critiques, les deux ont un décalage d’entrée similaire et très faible.
@@PCMonitors d’accord donc peu importe que ce soit l’un ou l’autre. Car j’avais lu ou vu sur un visuel de aoc que c’était vraiment très bas. Et seconde question. Pensez vous que le décalage d’entrée soit plus bas que mon actuel Samsung G7 27 pouces 240hz qui est en dalle VA. Car je me tâte à passer sur du 24 pouces 1440P 165hz pour Warzone. Je ne sais pas si j’y verrai un bénéfice .
Probablement, mais dans tous les cas, les réponses des pixels seront beaucoup plus rapides.
@@PCMonitors vous voulez dire que le Koorui ou l’aoc 24 pouces 1440p 165hz seront plus performants que le Samsung G7 27pouces 1440P 240hz ?
Par avance merci de votre retour.
Oui. Les deux modèles fonctionneront mieux que le Samsung. 🙂
if only this had a single overdrive experience :( i hate having to change OD settings everytime i change from one game to another for the proper motion handling experience.
Il faut utiliser le mode fps pour avoir l’input lag le plus faible et il faut régler loverdrive sur extrême ? Car quand je met le mode fps l’écran baisse en luminosité.
Ne vous inquiétez pas de faire ça. Aucune des deux options n’affecte le retard du signal (élément du décalage d’entrée que vous « ressentez »).
@@PCMonitors donc je peux rester sur le mode normal et je n’ai pas besoin d’activer le mode FPS pour avoir le plus faible Inputlag ?
@@PCMonitors j’ai commane du tearing au milieux de l’écran sur warzone :(
@@PCMonitors j’ai du tearing au milieu de l’écran sur warzone . Gsync désactive .
Oui, le mode « Normal » convient. Si G-SYNC et VSync sont désactivés, vous aurez des déchirures, c'est normal.
What overdrive setting would you suggest for ps5 fps games? 120fps
The same as recommended for 120Hz on the PC. Either 'Off' or 'Normal' depending on your own overshoot sensitivity. Generally would recommend trying 'Normal' and only switching to 'Off' if the overshoot bothers you a lot. 38:10.
Love this monitor
Is this discontinued? I hope not as it is the only 1440p 24 inch monitor available and I literally can’t buy a 27 inch because it won’t physically fit in my setup.
No, they still make it.
Does this have DP 1.4 or 1.2? I’m confused if this has DP 1.4 or 1.2 because online it says 1.4 but on other sites it says DP 1.2
DP 1.4 is specified in images on KOORUI's site, but some of their text seems to be a possible copy and paste error mentioning "DP 1.2", and other sites might've re-copied that... Either way the actual port revision is irrelevant, the full capabilities of the monitor are delivered via DP. If it is actually "DP 1.2" it's DP 1.2a+ (HDR feature set) which is all it needs. Having DP 1.4 would bring no practical advantage over that on this model, unless DSC was used to deliver 10-bit 165Hz QHD (which it isn't). As covered in the review, that would be of little practical benefit for most people.
I found this monitor slightly cheaper then the aoc, do u think it would be a better option than the aoc?
Yes, per the conclusion of the video and pcmonitors.info/articles/best-gaming-monitors/.
Thanks alot, your videos really help
Would you recommend this coming from a TUF VG249Q?
Yes, it's a significant upgrade.
@@PCMonitorsthank you because I tought that maybe I will see some artifact/fliker due to the cheap price for a 2k monitor but if you confirm that at least yours is good I’ll buy it
Do you think this monitor would be a definitive upgrade from a LG GN650-B? It's 1080p monitor however it has very good colour accuracy and responsiveness. I'm worried the 1440p upgrade will be overshadowed by the lesser colour gamut and slower responsiveness.
The responsiveness of the monitor is actually quite good as covered in the review. And the colour gamut is similar so I'm not sure why you're concerned about that, either?
@@PCMonitors Oh you're actually right, I guess i mis-remembered the specs of my current monitor in terms of colour reproduction.
If I was to set this monitor to 1080p for more demanding games would it look the same as a 1080p monitor ?
4:38.
thanks you very mutch
Can you recommend this than a 24.5inch 1080 240hz? I play apex legends
I think it's a much nicer resolution. The much improved pixel density really helps the clarity when gaming, including how distinct enemies look vs. the background in the distance and just gives a crisper look to edges, texture details etc. 240Hz is nice as well, but not everyone feels the benefits as much. Personally I can see and feel the difference and like it, though I wouldn't say it makes me MUCH better as a gamer and actually feel more of a competitive edge from a resolution bump compared to just going from 165Hz to 240Hz.
Any reasonn why it's not allowing me to use 1440p 120hz with hdr on when hdr is on it says I have to put 1080p
On ps5
You shouldn't use HDR on this monitor, it's terrible.
@PCMonitors ah OK the graphics feel terrible on ps5 with it though on warzone 3
Thoughts on the 23.8" GP01 vs the 24.5" 25E3Q? Both seem pretty similar.
i just got this monitor but the whites look kinda off?
Then adjust the colour channels. Also, you might've become used to a badly calibrated screen that you were using before. Or were simply using a screen with a very different backlight spectrum. That can also change how you perceive whites.
I got 1% of what you said, so I know you are an expert in the field. Is it safe to assume casual offline gamers like me will find this monitor good?
Yup.
Would you recommend this or the aoc
@@Cr1xt3r Either. Refer to the review conclusion.
is it better than asus vg27aq3a in colors? and sync
The more pressing issue should be the obvious size difference. The performance of this model is assessed in detail in this review, no experience with the VG27AQ3A specifically.
Thank you for ICC Profile😆😄
3:04 No not really, a 4K 32" does indeed have higher pixel density but it's not significant from a 1440p 24" , only 137 vs 122 PPI, nothing crazy.
I'd say that for a lot of people, they might not even notice the difference in just gaming and text reading unless it's a 27" 4K
Many 32" '4K' models are 31.5" so you can round to ~140 PPI - but either way it's ~13-14% difference. The difference in PPI is "only" 81.59 vs. 91.79 (~12%) comparing a 24" and 27" Full HD screen as well, but the difference in the experience is very significant to some and something many will shout about. People have brought this difference up many, many times when discussing monitors with me over the years. Mathematically, that ~13-14% difference also exceeds the difference between ~24" and 27" QHD screens.
I know there's a case of diminishing returns comparing 23.8" QHD and 31.5" UHD plus it's subjective, but for me the difference is significant. And I am very familiar with that experience as I own multiple ~32" '4K' UHD screens. But it's difficult to isolate just the pixel density, in terms of the overall experience people will have it will also be about having 'details' spread out across a larger area so the subtleties are easier to appreciate.
@@PCMonitors Yeah you're right, it also heavily depends on viewing distance, some maniacs out there will still sit arm's length (≈70cm) even from a 32" monitor which is a little too close imo for eye strain
I currently have a Dell S2417DG and love it and have been wanting a 2nd one to replace my 2nd 1080p monitor but the dell is like $300-400 each time i find one on sale.
This seems a good deal (rn on amazon its sub $200) So i will pick one up and compare it to my current Dell.
It is, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Do you recommend buying this?
I do - pcmonitors.info/articles/best-gaming-monitors/.
@@PCMonitors thx
@@PCMonitors Is it a good deal to buy it at the price of 226.29$?
@@Invincibiletirannosauro Yes.
Has anyone else had the issue where the screen dims after about 30min in HDR?
I will probable go with the aoc q24g2a, but i just wished it was 240hz and not 165hz. But most important is that it is 24 inch 1440p.
why u choose aoc ?
@@MiroLite Because it is one of the very few 24 inch 1440p 165hz and was the only one available at the time in my local region, and it is also reasonable price!
Is the AOC better?
They're compared in the conclusion.
@@PCMonitors Do you think the 24.5 inches model will perform relatively the same?
@@gamikhan9087 Should be similar, but the colour gamut is wider so it should be more vibrant (but oversaturated).
@@PCMonitors okey thank you
How to disable the overdrive?
If it's greyed out it's because you're running in HDR, most likely. This is mentioned in the "Best Settings" (and OSD) videos. You'd need to disable HDR on your system to unlock the control (and I don't recommend HDR on this monitor, as per the review it's not a good experience).
its even better that its way cheaper now used to be 220 now 150
is this monitor do ghostiong ?
This is covered in the review.
does it look better than all 27 inch 2k? since it has a higher ppi.
This aspect is covered in the review, early on. And moreover in the linked written piece; pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-q24g2a-bk/#The_238%E2%80%9D_QHD_experience .
I just bought the monitor and I feel some input lag when I fps games like overwatch
Well it has low input lag reliably recorded (~1.68ms), so if you've got the monitor set to 165Hz you should get a very low signal delay. Could be something else you're perceiving, such as dips in frame rate on your system or if you're coming from a monitor with a different resolution or pixel density. Which can affect your perception when interacting with the monitor.
No usb port, thats rly bad, that means i cant use bias lighting true white
Surely you could plug them into your system?
