I tested the cheapest gaming monitors (and found a gem)

How much do you need to spend on a 165 Hz gaming monitor? These super cheap monitors must be bad, right?

extremely good production quality and overall a very well made video, i’ve been watching dozens of monitor videos as i plan to buy one and your video is by far the best. criminally underrated youtuber u deserve way more subs and views

[franksinatra]

Another gem is your channel, which obviously needs more subs!

[sharkisgamer]

My brain isn’t good enough to understand what happened but I understand that you said it was good

[Dishonored_One]

Combined 3 reviews into one, you are a trickster, sir! Saltiness aside, thanks for another quality piece, now I'm confident in my initial decision to go with KTC. The only thing that is kinda disappointing is the contrast ratio, but the difference between your standard 1000:1ish and ~850:1 is not even noticeable, so not a big deal overall.

This really helped me choosing my new monitor, since I am on a strict budget. I am very glad I have found this channel, it's a gem. I got myself two 24" KTCs with a good monitorarm and it upped my deskquality (be it gaming or work) by a lot. Though I had 10 year old 60 Hz BenQ Budget Monitors and virtually anything would have been and upgrade, i am very glad that i took the time to watch your video and get me a pair of those gems!

Weiter so!

Best monitor reviewer on the planet without question. If this guy tells you these three monitors are his budget recommandation for these specs, then don't waste a single other second thinking or looking elsewhere, just do yourself a favor and go for these. Thank you techless 🙏

[lzgrfx]

Thanks for the review and also the icc profile 🙏 I legit had all these three except a different model of the msi but you made it clear which was the choice, currently waiting on the ktc for my first build! Again many thanks

Great video :)
Can you create a video testing budget 1440p monitors with upwards of 144Hz and preferably 27inches.

[srvuk]

Great value indeed. I was amazed at just how far out the colour on the Koorui was.

[y_Firebird]

I have the KTC and I love it! Has alot of input for its price range. I use it for remote playing my PS5 and have my PS3 and MacBook hooked up to it. Solid buy and will be buying a second one

[peepeepoopoo]

Thank you for the video, I've decided to buy the ktc as my first gaming monitor. Also thank you for providing the icc file, that helps a lot dude

[fearful]

This video helped in my decision. All monitors are good in similar and different ways but for me, as you said, getting any of these monitors for a good price was an important factor. I ordered a KTC monitor just yesterday and it’ll be coming in sometime next week.

Edit #1:
It’s been a few days since I’ve had my KTC, and so far, it’s amazing. The change from 60hz to 165hz is a crazy jump but something I had quickly got use to quickly. So far in the FPS games and other games that I’ve played, it feels really nice. Will update again for those interested in the KTC.

im wondering how the koorui monitor can be so different in response time tests, when optimum measured a 3.5ms average and here we have 8ms or something.
great video.
can we see a test for the Pixio PX248 Pro next time ? :D

[Glow]

Thank you so much for this video, it really helped me when comparing the two in your list looking to buy.

3 reviews into 1! Very cool and informative 👍

[dr.paradoxdelusionsofgrandeur]

Good content, I was looking for a review for budget gaming monitors and suddenly I saw this which is amazing. For the price and availability, I'll go with the Koorui.

[Illoma]

This video was very well edited and with a good analysis, it helped me to decide which monitor to buy (got the KTC).
Thank you!

I have the Koorui 24 in 240hz monitor and it struggles with a lot of the same brightness and color issues. It was only $120 when I bought it and was too good of a deal to pass up. I feel that with these ultra budget gaming monitors, most high refresh rate monitors will feel the same, just not the best gaming experience ever. With my monitor, I'm perfectly happy gaming at high refresh rates, but for productivity, I find myself going back to the color accurate panel on my laptop

[giannishutup]

Thank you brother, extremely well made, succinct review and comparison.

I’ve been using Sceptre for years. First a 1080p/75Hz then a 1440p/165Hz. Love them both!
