240 Hz Monitor Rating Participants Table 2022

Acer KG251QDbmiipx

Opens Acer KG251QDbmiipx rating. This model differs from its competitors with a price tag — monitor prices on the largest online platforms are 20-23 thousand rubles, which is not much for 25 inch monitor at 240 Hz. For this money, you will get a fairly simple, but quite worthy gaming solution with a fast TN-matrix and Full HD resolution. Declared support for AMD FreeSync.

Users deservedly praise the monitor for its low response time, but complain about poor viewing angles and not the best factory color calibration. Of the interesting things at the monitor eThere are two built-in speakers, although music lovers are unlikely to be satisfied with the quality of their sound. But the monitor does not have a USB hub, and this is not a very pleasant compromise. The design is as Spartan as possible — right angles and a tripod stand made of not the most expensive plastic. But Screen bezels are as thin as possible.. The stand is also sometimes complained about — due to its size, it does not get along very well with small tables.

This monitor will suit those who like to get the most for the least money. It is designed for gaming, so it can be inferior to competitors in ergonomics and picture quality (the budget Samsung C27RG50FQI completely surpasses it in this respect).

BenQ Zowie XL2546

The fifth line is occupied by BenQ ZOWIE XL2546. The monitor from BenQ has been in demand on the market for several years, now it can be easily found in retail for 35-40 thousand rubles. According to the characteristics, everything is quite predictable: 25-inch diagonal, Full HD, TN-matrix with a response of 1 ms. One of the main killer features of this solution at one time was Dynamic Accuracy (DyAc) technology, which improves the clarity of fast-moving objects in games. Time has shown that this was not just a marketing ploy — he really does a good job of «blurring» the picture.

Users praise the monitor for its high build quality and materials, as well as for taking care of the comfort of the owners. Everything is ergonomic here: on the left side There is a block with a USB hub and a headphone output, a reliable support takes up very little space on the table, and sides are provided to protect the display from sunlight. Atmanagement and settings are placed on a separate remote control (by the way, the settings are very flexible, and profiles can be changed with just one click). A nice bonus: the monitor comes with long cables and a dust cover.

Of the shortcomings, it is worth mentioning all the same TN matrix, which has its limitations in viewing angles and color reproduction. G-sync is not supported. And the competition today does not play in favor of BenQ — on the market now you can find both cheaper solutions (the same Acer KG251 and Samsung C27RG50FQI) and more technologically advanced monitors.

The ZOWIE XL2546 is definitely worth considering as it offers good performance and excellent ergonomics. But still, it’s time for BenQ to bring a fresher solution to the market.

AOC C32G2ZE

In fourth place is AOC C32G2ZE. The real giant in our ranking is AOC with a diagonal of 32 inches, and even in a curved form factor. Looks expensive and beautiful. Despite this, the price of the monitor is very affordable. On online platforms, it is now being sold at a price of 25-30 thousand rubles. Buyers praise for rich colors, good viewing angles and balanced backlighting. FreeSync and Flicker-Free supported.

But there are some peculiarities that relate to the used VA-matrix. 4ms response time will not suit hardcore gamers and e-sportsmen, since there are much more nimble TN monitors on the market. There are also complaints about ergonomics — some gamers will find a diagonal of 32 inches too large for games. Due to the large diagonal, another problem follows — large sizes that will require a large table. Buyers also note the little things: the lack of a mouse holder and USB connectors.

The AOC C32G2ZE monitor can be a great purchase for fans of single-player games, it is very convenient to watch movies and work on it. But, as a solution for competitive gaming, it is slightly inferior to its classmates (even the budget Acer KG251 will easily surpass it).

LG 27GN750

Top three opens LG 27GN750. LG offers a well-balanced 27″ Full HD IPS gaming monitor. The price is adequate — in retail it you can buy for 27-32 thousand rubles. The monitor features excellent color reproduction, HDR support and the presence of relevant technologies such as FreeSync and G-Sync Compatible. The response time does not lag behind analogues with TN-matrices — up to 1 ms.

Most users have no complaints about ergonomics — the stand is comfortable and well regulated (but does not fall too low), adjustment and control are carried out by a joystick with illumination in the lower part of the case. Video outputs and USB connectors are located on the back of the monitor, and it is very easy to get to them. The monitor looks conservative — it is a flat block on a small stand. Its gaming essence is only given out by a blood-red circle on the back of the case. — looks impressive.

But buyers also note disadvantages. So, the monitor’s accelerated response mode (DAS) can cause graphic loops, and manual color adjustment is not flexible. BUT at default settings, the monitor likes to go into its own analogue of «sleep mode» (that is, turn off) — this feature can be turned off manually.

In general, the monitor from LG is a direct competitor to its classmates from BenQ and AOC, which were discussed above. At the same time, such a solution from BenQ loses a little in color reproduction due to the type of matrix, and the monitor from AOC is inferior in response speed.

Samsung Odyssey G7

Second place goes to Samsung Odyssey G7. Samsung’s no-compromise solution is 27 inches, there is also a 32-inch model. Quad HD resolution, FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync support, Flicker-Free, high-tech QLED matrix, which combines excellent color reproduction, decent viewing angles and response time at the level of TN monitors. The monitor looks spectacular, even futuristic — a curved form factor and backlight distinguish it from competitors as more advanced. Although this was partially achieved at the expense of ergonomics: many owners complain about the large standwhich takes up a lot of space on the table, and is also not so easy to assemble (if you do not follow the instructions).

But using the monitor is convenient: the control joystick is very responsive, and the settings menu interface is intuitive. There are USB and 3.5mm slots on the bottom of the case. headphone jack. With a bend radius in 1000R Odyssey G7 visually arched much more than most other similar monitors on the market. Not everyone likes it, although it may just take some getting used to.

And, of course, all this costs money. The price of the monitor in retail today starts from 45 thousand rubles – significantly higher than that of all his classmates. But given Quad HD and the overall level of technology, it’s hard to say that the price tag is too high. Samsung Odyssey G7 is ideal for those who do not intend to save.

Samsung Odyssey G7 can be safely advised to anyone who does not intend to save. Everyone else can look at worthy solutions with a more modest price tag.

Samsung C27RG50FQI

Samsung C27RG50FQI takes the gold medal. And here is the «people’s» monitor from Samsung — less «space» characteristics, a more restrained design, an affordable price tag. The cost of the monitor now looks “delicious” against the background of budget classmates — 20-23 thousand rubles. For this money, the buyer receives 27″ curved VA monitor with Full HD resolution. Declared support for Flicker-Free and G-Sync Compatible.

The monitor is praised for its excellent viewing angles, high contrast ratio and rich colors. The backlight is well tuned and it is almost impossible to notice its flicker. The monitor looks impressive thanks to thin bezels and a slight curve of the panel. Response time is claimed at 4ms, which is faster than competitors with TN matrices. This is partly offset by G-Sync, but the most hardcore esportsmen can still be dissatisfied.

Ergonomics lacks stars from the sky. Leg is flexible enough to fit on any table, but the design of the product will not allow you to rotate the monitor much or adjust the height. There are no extra USB ports for connecting peripherals, only a headphone jack. Although the monitor is very easy to set up and compact, especially considering its form factor and diagonal. An interesting feature for such a price segment — the ability to enable game presets in the settings, up to the specification of the genre.

Samsung’s budget phone offers very decent specs, great color depth, and a beautiful design. These pluses, taking into account the price, more than pay for all its shortcomings. In terms of response speed, the 27-inch Samsung is nominally inferior to its competitors (the same Acer KG25 with the same price tag). And those who are willing to pay a little extra can look at solutions from AOC or LG.

So what to choose?

The formula for an absolutely perfect monitor, of course, does not exist. When choosing, it’s better to immediately prioritize for yourself: someone is more important than speed, someone is more important than picture quality, and someone wants to get a universal monitor with a large diagonal. When buying a monitor at 240 Hz, you should also remember that only sufficiently powerful systems with modern video cards can reveal its full potential.
