How Bad Are $100 Monitors From Amazon For Gaming?

I bought an MSI Pro MP242 a few months back as my upgrade to a somewhat modern higher refresh rate monitor. Before I was using a 2011 Dell monitor with only VGA and DP stuck at 60hz.

The MSI Pro monitor is pretty nice as it's got an anti glare screen, 25" size, 100hz, and the Pro line makes it not too obnoxiously "gamer"y, for the price I paid, 100 Canadian, it's a great monitor for my 1080p gaming machine. Definitely not a bad thing, budget monitors, just that they're not absolutely amazing.

Koorui 24e3 (IPS) and 24e4 (VA) have different panel types but they have close to similar prices
24e3 have significantly better response times and less motion smearing

I bought something else- an Acer VG240Y E for aorund $100-100Hz and great with a M4 Mac mini.

I'm looking for a budget monitor and have glaucoma. I was not expecting that intro. my wife from the other room – "you got called out".

SO I FINALLY GOT MY PARENTS TO GET ME A GAMING MONITOR AND GOT THE WORST ONE POSSIBLE OH MY GOD

Yeah the monitor is one thing I'm glad I spent a little more on, on my new pc build, compared to what I was originally planning on buying. The monitor is THE thing you are going to be looking at/interacting with the whole time you are using your pc…..

just buy a acer nitro if u want to be disapointed 180hz of milky white motion blur for only 120 aud

theres another version of the koorui called koorui 24e3 and its 165hz 1080p ips panel (which imo is better)

The worst thing about budget monitors is that the quality fluctuates quite a bit, you can buy one and it'll be reasonable for the price, and next will be just complete garbage. Also, control knobs is a crime.

I heard some great things about the Koorui 24E3(not 4). Which is weird even optimum tech recommended it.

What are we talking…are these LED, LCD, OLED, Plasma? All things needed to know about monitors that you didn't consider.

So weird. The channel optimum had a rave review for the 24e3. Hmm. Ahh you didn’t review that one.

That’s sad you get pay to talk bad about 100 monitors this a sad world we live in you don’t know what people can afford sir

I've been using the Koorui 24e3 for a while now, colors were not good out of the box and is not the brightest display either. But after some calibration, it's a fantastic monitor for the price.

wouldnt sacrificing 15hz and picking a better panel be worth it

the amount of youtubers trying to upsell the Koorui 24E3 as a great deal is shocking least i know i can trust your material.

His recommendation for a $100 monitor is to buy a $130 monitor. Don't remember being poor? Or young? You can say that another monitor is a better value, but not just outright say not to buy any $100 monitor. Refurb might be a good way to go.

Bruh I almost buy that koorui.
And I need to check my Philips monitor how bad it is as a budget monitor 😂😢

The pixio wow other people were talking about how great the sansui was thank you for the heads-up 👍

why didn'tt you try the acer monitors

I found an old Dell outside the pub even had a keyboard working fine just need to obtain some speakers

i bought S01 for $56 100hz 1080p

honestly… i have a cheap 100 buck 160hz monitor. i love this thing to death after some calibration out of the box

I own the 27" 1440p koorai and its surprisingly good. Been super reliable over the course of the year too

My Koorui worked for about a year. The it started flickering badly.

I replaced it with an Asus 31". I do music and video editing so the size is very nice.

I bought a koorui 100 hz 1080p monitor for like 70 dollars and it's really good,the stand is strong too

I have onn monitor for walmart. Got it for 89 I believe it's worth it

I bought the MSI PRO MP273A fhd 100hz IPS monitor for 113€ on a sale, it's so good and I can recommend it definitely

Shame you didn't get the 24e3 or other IPS, VA at this price is terrible and should not be considered but IPS can actually be decent.

i dont care even i can play in 30fps 1024×786 50Hz You Must Try Game In Potato For 2 Years

If my monitor froze is it mos likely the pcs problem or the monitors? ( the monitor I have is 50$ and the pc I have is 1200$, writing this because my dad is betting me on this and I don’t want to pay 500 so just anyone can tell me)

Koorui 24e3 clears them all

Dear Dawid I use a mix max pc ryzen 7 1700x with a rx 580 8gb and a 550 4gb and works excellent with any monitor and I get big fps on it between 60 and 200

watching your content i've heard more creative expressions than ever

Some very inexpensive monitors — including these — perform quite well enough for the vast majority of gamers. We've been oversold on certain specs and name brands and the opinions of some reviewers, and we grossly over spend because of it. I've used a lot of different displays in a lot of different contexts; give me a low-priced display with mediocre specs over a high-priced one with great specs for most use cases. As for height adjustment, there's hardly a 24" or less monitor that has enough adjustment to rate its increased price, so I don't take away points for a lack of height adjustment; rather, I skip any monitor that lacks a VESA mount. A decent arm that's far more flexible than any stock stand can be had for less than $50, and that's almost always the way to go. Now, I do agree that it can be smart to carefully watch prices and shop sales on the more recognized brands. Mid-range monitors from famous makers tend to go on sale pretty often. But you'll still be wise to use an arm.

do they need speaker?

nah you have to turn on mprt to reduce to the horrible ghosting effect. its especially bad on VA panels and its when u try to turn on the fastest response time

I understand the stand being thin but if it’s to low just raise it up 😂

I actually got a really good deal on a 32 inch, 1440p, 165 hz, gsync monitor. 260 dollars was the price, and I thought that was insane, most monitors that price are well into the 300 dollar range. To be fair it was 20 percent off, base price was aroounnnnd 320

ips has 3 times less contrast usually but i guess for gaming it might be better
