About The Monitor

The Titan Army P2510S is the only ~24″ 1440p 240Hz IPS gaming monitor available in the US at the moment!

Image Quality

A lot of gamers love this form factor as you get a small 24.5″ viewable screen with a high 1440p resolution that results in crisp details thanks to the high pixel density of 120 PPI (pixels per inch).

It’s a bit more demanding on your GPU than 1080p, but the jump in image quality is quite big and it’s not nearly as taxing on your frame rates as 4K UHD, allowing you to maintain high FPS even with a mid-range graphics card.

The Titan Army P2510S boasts a rapid 1ms GtG pixel response time speed, smooth VRR performance up to 240Hz, a wide 95% DCI-P3 gamut coverage for vibrant colors, a decent 300-nit peak brightness and a 1,000:1 contrast ratio.

You also get common gaming features, such as Game Shadow Enhancement (improves visibility in dark scenes), Color Enhancement (saturation), crosshair overlays, on-screen timers and a refresh rate tracker.

There are many things that make this monitor ideal for competitive FPS players. First of all, you get a fast response time for no ghosting behind fast-moving objects.

Secondly, the small 24.5″ screen size is preferable for FPS titles as you can see everything that’s happening on the screen without having to move your head or neck as much as you would with a larger screen.

Next, the 1440p resolution makes the image more crisp, while the wide color gamut provides you with added color variety, which can make your enemies stand out more in certain environments.

Finally, 240Hz ensures fluid gameplay and while higher refresh rates can improve this further, most gamers find 240Hz to be smooth enough. 1440p 360Hz+ displays are also considerably more expensive, require a much stronger PC rig to maintain 360FPS+ and they’re not available in the ~24″ form factor.

Check out our full Titan Army P2510S review for more details.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor is tilt-only, but the screen is VESA mount compatible via the 100x100mm pattern.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs and a headphone jack.

About The Monitor

When it comes to larger 27″ 1440p 240Hz IPS gaming monitors, there are a lot of options to choose from.

We find that the MSI G274QPX offers the best value for the money, but make sure to check out the alternatives below in case the price changes or you prefer some other features, such as KVM or MBR.

Image Quality

If you want a larger 27″ screen, the good news is that the 2560×1440 resolution still looks very sharp with a pixel density of around 109 PPI.

The MSI G274QPX also offers additional improvements, including a wider 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and a higher 400-nit peak brightness.

Other features include smooth VRR performance up to 240Hz, PiP/PbP, crosshair overlays, Night Vision, a refresh rate tracker and on-screen timers.

Design & Connectivity

The stand offers full ergonomic support with up to 130mm height adjustment, +/- 45° swivel, +/- 90° pivot, -5°/20° tilt and 75x75mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include USB-C (DP 1.4 Alt Mode, 65W PD), DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC, two HDMI 2.0 ports and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

There are a few alternatives based on the same panel, though the MSI G274QPX usually offers the best value for money.

• ASUS VG27AQML1A – MBR
• HP Omen 27qs – MBR
• Gigabyte M27Q-X – built-in KVM but lower 18W USB-C PD
• LG 27GR83Q – no special features
• Titan Army P2710S – no special features
• Gigabyte GS27Q-X – tilt-only stand and not as wide color gamut. It supports MBR though

Keep in mind that you can also find 1440p 360Hz IPS gaming monitors nowadays, such as the ASUS PG27AQN, with even faster response time and excellent MBR implementation, though they are more expensive.

There are 300Hz models available too, such as the ASUS XG27AQMR, but we find that the extra 60Hz is not worth $200+ more.

About The Monitor

Want an even bigger 1440p 240Hz IPS display? The LG 32GQ850 is the best model currently available!

Image Quality

The 1440p resolution on a 32″ screen starts to show its limitations. You get a pixel density of 93 PPI (pixels per inch), which is the same as that of 24″ 1080p displays.

So, you’ll still have more screen real estate due to the high resolution, but the text and detail clarity are the same as they’re on 24″ 1920×1080 monitors.

However, since you’ll be sitting a bit further away from a 32″ display than you would from a 24″ screen, the individual pixels won’t be as noticeable. Most people find this pixel density to be perfectly usable, especially in games and for watching videos.

Naturally, a 4K UHD resolution would suit a 32″ monitor much better, but these models are more expensive and require more powerful PC hardware.

When it comes to image quality, you get a wide 98% DCI-P3 color gamut and a high 600-nit peak brightness. HDR is also supported, but since there’s only edge-lit local dimming, most scenes will look better with HDR disabled.

Supported features include VRR up to 260Hz (you can overclock the monitor to 260Hz), Black Stabilizer, crosshair overlays, a refresh rate tracker and hardware calibration (can store calibration data on the monitor itself rather than on an ICC profile)

Last but not least, the LG 32GQ850 also uses an A-TW polarizer that helps improve viewing angles and minimizes IPS glow.

Check out our full 32GQ850 review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor offers height adjustment up to 110mm, 90° pivot, tilt by -5°/15° and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4 (with DSC), two HDMI 2.1 ports (full 48 Gbps bandwidth), a headphone jack (with DTS 3D emulation) and a dual-USB 3.0 hub.

Alternatives

• Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q-X – a 32″ 1440p 240Hz monitor with a built-in KVM switch. It doesn’t have an A-TW polarizer but can be found for ~$100 less
• Titan Army P32A2S2 – another 32″ 1440p 240Hz IPS model, it has no special features, but it’s more affordable

About The Monitor

In case you prefer a high contrast ratio to IPS technology, there are a few VA panel alternatives worth considering as well, starting with the KTC H27E22!

Image Quality

VA panels provide you with a high static contrast ratio of 2,500:1, which in comparison to the 1,000:1 IPS contrast ratio results in noticeably deeper blacks.

Moreover, there’s no IPS glow, which makes the viewing experience more immersive, especially when viewing dark content in a dark room.

You also get a strong 400-nit peak brightness and a wide color gamut (130% sRGB volume) for vibrant colors.

The downside is that the viewing angles aren’t quite as wide and you get brightness flickering when using VRR in certain games.

When using VRR (FreeSync or G-SYNC Compatible), some brightness flickering can be noticed – mainly in games with fluctuating frame rates or in-game menus/loading screens.

This is common for most high refresh rate gaming displays (mainly VA and OLED) and its intensity can vary from unit to unit. Since screen tearing is not that noticeable at 240Hz, you can simply disable VRR.

Unlike most VA panel displays, the KTC H27E22 has a fast pixel response time speed, so dark-level smearing is not an issue.

You also get other gaming features, such as Black Equalize (improves visibility in dark scenes), crosshair overlays, a refresh rate tracker and various picture presets.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor is sturdy and offers full ergonomic support with up to 130mm height adjustment, +/- 90° pivot, +/- 45° swivel, -5°/20° tilt and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 ports, a USB-C port with DP Alt Mode, three downstream USB-A ports and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

• KTC H27E22S – the same monitor but without an ergonomic stand or as extensive connectivity options for a lower price.

About The Monitor

If you want a larger 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor with a VA panel, the KTC H32S25E is the most cost-effective option!

Image Quality

There are no 32″ 1440p 240Hz flat-screen VA gaming monitors available in the US, so if you’re interested in this form factor, you’ll have to settle for a curved screen. In Europe and Asia, you may be able to find the AOC AG325QZN with a flat panel.

We actually prefer curved screens on 32″ 16:9 displays as they’re rather large and the curvature brings the edges of the screen closer to you for a more immersive viewing experience. Now, the 1000R screen curvature is quite steep and some users may not like it, but in our experience, it just takes a bit of time to get used to.

Besides that, the monitor offers excellent image quality with a decent 350-nit peak brightness, a high 4,000:1 contrast ratio and a wide 90% DCI-P3 color gamut.

As is expected from a VA panel display, there’s some VRR brightness flickering in some games, while the pixel response time speed is very good for a VA panel but some ghosting in darker scenes can be observed.

Check out our in-depth KTC H32S25E review for more information.

Design & Connectivity

The design of the monitor includes a steep 1000R curvature which matches the curvature of the human eye for added immersion, though some people might find that the curvature is too aggressive.

The stand is tilt-only, but the screen is VESA mount compatible via the 100x100mm pattern.

Connectivity options include two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, two HDMI 2.0 ports (max 144Hz at 1440p), a headphone jack and a USB hub for service and firmware updates.

Alternatives

Samsung offers a similar gaming monitor, the Odyssey G6, with DisplayHDR 600 and built-in Tizen smartOS, however, it’s a lot more expensive, while the HDR image quality is underwhelming since it lacks FALD.

About The Monitor

The MSI MAG 271QPX E2 features an OLED panel with an instantaneous pixel response time speed and an infinite contrast ratio, making it the most responsive 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor with the best HDR image quality.

Image Quality

OLED displays don’t rely on a backlight to produce an image – instead, each pixel emits its own light. This allows for a basically infinite contrast ratio without any blooming, backlight bleeding, IPS/VA glow or similar visual artifacts.

As a result, you get true blacks and an incredibly immersive viewing experience, especially in dark rooms.

However, OLED displays cannot get as bright as LED-backlit panels. The MSI MAG 271QPX E2 is limited to around 250-nits for a 100% white window in HDR. For some people, that might actually be more than enough, but if you’re used to brighter displays and plan on using the monitor in a well-lit room, it might be too dim for you.

If you can dim the lights and shut the curtains, brightness won’t be an issue.

In HDR, the MSI MAG 271QPX E2 can reach up to around 1000-nits for small highlights, which is sufficient for an immersive HDR viewing experience. It also has a wide 99.3% DCI-P3 gamut coverage for vibrant colors, wide viewing angles and true 10-bit color depth support.

The monitor uses Samsung’s QD-OLED panel, which in comparison to LG’s W-OLED 27″ 1440p 240Hz panels provides you with a wider color gamut, higher color brightness and better text clarity thanks to the diamond-shaped RGB subpixel layout.

VRR is supported up to 240Hz via FreeSync Premium, G-SYNC Compatible and HDMI 2.1 VRR and since OLED displays have instantaneous pixel response times, there’s no need for variable overdrive. The pixels change almost instantly regardless of the refresh rate, so there isn’t any ghosting or overshoot.

Other available features include Night Vision, crosshair overlays, a refresh rate tracker and various picture presets.

Another disadvantage of OLED monitors and TVs is the risk of permanent image burn-in when displaying bright static elements for too long. However, there are ways to prevent this, so as long as you use the monitor sensibly, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Design & Connectivity

The MSI MAG 271QPX E2 has a sturdy stand with up to 110mm height adjustment, -5°/20° tilt, +/- 30° swivel, +/- 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

The screen has a glossy finish, which makes for a more vivid image quality as there no graininess associated with matte anti-glare coatings, however, it also means that the screen is a bit more reflective. Blacks are also raised when hit by direct lighting, so you’ll have to mind the lighting in your room.

Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports, DP 1.4 with DSC, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 15W PD and a headphone jack.

Alternatives

Gigabyte offers a monitor based on the same panel, the Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q2 – it has a USB hub and a built-in KVM switch, but it’s usually a bit more expensive.

You can also find 1440p 240Hz gaming monitors based on LG’s W-OLED panel, such as the ASUS XG27AQDMG with a glossy screen surface and the LG 27GS93QE with a matte anti-glare coating for $750 and $600, respectively.

However, as mentioned, these don’t have as wide color gamut or as high color brightness and they have fringing on small text and fine details due to their RWBG subpixel layout.

Instead, we recommend considering investing in a faster 1440p 360Hz QD-OLED or 1440p 480Hz W-OLED models, such as the MSI MAG 271QPX and the ASUS PG27AQDP, respectively.

About The Monitor

If you want to deal with OLED’s limited brightness and the risk of burn-in, the AOC Agon Pro AG274QZM is the best 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor with proper HDR support thanks to its 576-zone mini LED FALD backlight.

Image Quality

The AOC AG274QZM has 576 full array local dimming zones spread across the entire panel for significantly better backlight control.

These zones can dim parts of the image that are supposed to be dark thus drastically improving the contrast ratio. However, the light from small bright objects will bleed into the surrounding dimmed zones and create blooming, but this is an expected drawback of this technology and it’s tolerable considering it’s mainly noticeable in particularly demanding scenes (fireworks, stars in a night sky, etc.).

The main advantage of the AG274QZM over the MSI MAG 271QPX E2 is that it can get a lot brighter.

While the OLED display can reach 1000-nits for small < 3% APL, it’s limited to 250-nits for 100% APL. The AG274QZM, on the other hand, can maintain its high ~1100-nits peak brightness regardless of the APL, resulting in considerably brighter HDR image.

Additionally, it uses a regular RGB subpixel layout for sharper text.

While the pixel response time speed is not instantaneous as that of OLED displays, it’s still fast enough for a buttery-smooth fast-paced gaming experience. It also has an exceptional 97% Adobe RGB and 97% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage.

VRR is supported for tear-free gameplay up to 240Hz and you get plenty of additional features, such as Shadow Control, Game Color, crosshair overlays, a refresh rate tracker, Picture by Picture, and various picture presets.

Design & Connectivity

The stand of the monitor offers a good range of ergonomics, including up to 120mm height adjustment, +/- 20° swivel, -3°/21° tilt, 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.

The AOC AG274QZM also comes with a detachable shading hood and a small Quick Switch puck that allows you to quickly change monitor settings. It also features RGB lighting and a headset hanger.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C with DP Alt Mode and 65W Power Delivery, a microphone jack, a headphone jack, dual 5W built-in speakers, a quad-USB 3.0 hub and integrated KVM functionality.

Alternatives

If you don’t need a 240Hz refresh rate, we recommend the Xiaomi G Pro 27i instead.

It’s a 27″ 1440p IPS gaming monitor with a lower 180Hz refresh rate, but it has a better 1152-zone mini LED FALD backlight yet goes for a significantly lower price at ~$370.

Conclusion

Found the best 1440p 240Hz gaming monitor for you?

In case you’re having second thoughts or you’re not sure which one to buy, leave us a comment below!

If you’re not sensitive to screen tearing, we recommend the KTC H27E22 since it’s cheaper than the MSI G274QPX yet offers a higher contrast ratio without IPS glow.

However, if you want smooth tear-free gameplay with wide viewing angles and more vibrant colors, the Titan Army P2510S, the MSI G274QPX or the LG 32GQ850 will suit you better.

For proper HDR support, pick between the MSI MAG 271QPX E2 and the AOC AG274QZM according to your panel technology preference.
