~24″ sized displays with a screen resolution of 2560×1440 are quite rare, which is a shame since a lot of competitive FPS players prefer this screen size and want the higher resolution for better detail clarity.
The Titan Army P2510S is actually the first 24″ 1440p gaming monitor available in the US with a 240Hz refresh rate, and it even offers some additional features!
Image Quality
The 2560×1440 resolution on the 24.5″ viewable screen of the Titan Army P2510S monitor provides you with a high pixel density of 120 PPI (pixels per inch).
As a result, you get plenty of screen space with sharp details and text without any scaling necessary.
Most competitive players usually opt for 1920×1080 high refresh rate displays in order to achieve the highest frame rate possible and therefore the lowest input latency.
However, with GPUs being as powerful as they are today, you most likely won’t be losing any frames at 1440p in most competitive eSports titles as you’ll still be CPU bottlenecked anyway.
Of course, 24″ 1080p monitors are available with higher refresh rates than 240Hz, which will provide you with smoother gameplay, but these are more expensive.
The Dell Alienware AW2523HF, for instance, is a 24.5″ 1080p 360Hz IPS model for ~$350, though its pixel response time speed isn’t fast enough to keep up with the refresh rate. So, if you want a proper 360Hz display, you’ll need to invest $550 in the BenQ XL2566K or $380 for the Acer XV252QF.
Still, the jump to 360Hz from 240Hz might not be worth it for all gamers as 1440p also has a meaningful improvement over 1080p in competitive games. You get a significantly crispier image with sharper details, and this extra sharpness can make your opponents easier to spot!
Next, the Titan Army P2510S has a 92% DCI-P3 wide color gamut (~126 sRGB gamut size) for more vibrant colors. The extra color vibrance and variety can also make your opponents stand out more in certain environments!
The monitor is even factory calibrated and has dedicated sRGB and DCI-P3 emulation modes in case you prefer the less saturated and more accurate SDR image output.
Further, the IPS panel ensures that the image remains flawless regardless of the angle you’re looking at the screen thanks to its 178° viewing angles.
It has a peak brightness of 300-nits, which means the monitor can get more than bright enough under normal lighting conditions, while the static contrast ratio is standard for IPS panel displays at 1,000:1 – the blacks won’t be as deep as that of VA panels, but VA monitors have their own drawbacks.
One thing to keep in mind about IPS displays is IPS glow. It can be characterized as visible glowing around the corners of the screen at certain viewing angles. It’s an expected drawback and since it’s only visible when displaying dark content at high brightness in a dark room, it’s tolerable.
To minimize IPS glow, make sure you’re using adequate brightness levels (increase brightness in bright rooms, reduce it in dim rooms) and consider adding ambient lighting behind the screen.
The monitor also supports HDR (High Dynamic Range), but while it can accept the HDR10 signal and display it, there’s no proper hardware (mini LED backlight or an OLED panel) for a noteworthy HDR viewing experience.
In some HDR content, you may benefit from the dithered 10-bit color depth support for smoother gradients, but details in shadows and highlights of the image will be lost. Therefore, we recommend disabling HDR.
Performance
The Titan Army P2510S has a maximum refresh rate of 240Hz, which provides you with a small but noticeable boost in motion clarity when compared to mid-range (120Hz – 180Hz) refresh rate models.
When it comes to pixel response time performance, there are five overdrive modes under the ‘Dynamic OD’ option in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu: Off, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Topspeed.
The Topspeed mode is the fastest without adding any noticeable overshoot, so we recommend using it at 240Hz. You can check out how it looks in Blur Busters’ UFO ghosting test pursuit photo below.
If you’re using variable refresh rate or gaming at a lower fixed refresh rate of around 144Hz, use the Level 3 mode to avoid overshoot. Below 144Hz, you should dial it back to Level 2.
Overall, the pixel response time performance is excellent as there’s no noticeable trailing behind fast-moving objects. Input lag amounts to only ~3ms, which makes for imperceptible delay between your actions and the result on the screen.
VRR (variable refresh rate) is supported for tear-free gameplay up to 240FPS via AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible. Although it doesn’t have official certifications, VRR works without issues.
The backlight of the monitor is flicker-free and there’s a low-blue light filter mode available.
Features
Beneath the bottom bezel of the screen, there are four buttons for navigation through the OSD menu, as well as a dedicated power button.
Besides the usual image adjustment tools (brightness, contrast, color temperature, etc.), you’ll also find some advanced settings, including aspect ratio control, automatic input detection, sharpness, gamma and 6-axis hue/saturation.
Useful gaming features include Shadow Balance (Night Vision mode, improves visibility in dark scenes), crosshair overlays, a refresh rate tracker, on-screen timers, Magnifier mode (zooms in the area around your crosshair) and Color Enhancement (color saturation adjustments).
The monitor also supports Picture in Picture and Picture by Picture.
Design & Connectivity
The Titan Army P2510S has a tilt-only stand by -5°/20° but the screen is detachable and can be VESA mounted via the 100x100mm pattern.
Further, the screen has a light matte anti-glare coating that diffuses reflections without adding too much graininess to the image.
Connectivity options include two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs, two HDMI 2.0 ports (limited to 144Hz) and a headphone jack.
Price & Similar Monitors
The Titan Army P2510S goes for $300, but it’s usually available with a $40 coupon. You can also use our discount code: DISPLAY25 for 5% off.
Overall, we find that the monitor is worth the price, especially given that it’s the only such model available in the US at the moment.
The Koorui GP01 is another 24″ 1440p IPS model, but it has a lower 165Hz refresh rate and no wide color gamut yet it goes for the same price.

Conclusion
All in all, the Titan Army P2510S is an excellent gaming monitor for the price!
If you want a 24″ sized display for gaming but the 1080p resolution is too low for you, the P2510S is the way to go thanks to its IPS panel with a wide color gamut, quick response time speed and smooth VRR performance up to 240Hz.
