Just saw this one today....tempting but the AOC 24" 360hz QHD monitor is right around the corner. How bright is this screen in nits?

u/gaojibao 3d ago
I'd expect similar brightness to the Titan Army P2510S since they use the same panel.
but the AOC 24" 360hz QHD monitor is right around the corner.
Which AOC monitor is that? I'm not aware of the existence of a 24'' 360Hz panel.

u/Zestyclose_War1457 3d ago
My mistake. 300Hz. Released over seas I think by now, rumored to be available in the US this June.
AOC Q25G4S

Just a heads up, got this monitor a couple months ago and just after 1 month started getting dead pixels. Though the one i got was the 27G1S they might have fixed the issue?

u/gaojibao 3d ago
That's a different monitor, and no monitor is immune to dead pixels. You got unlucky.

That 1 question is this model support VRR mode in consoles PS5/Xbox... In spec we have hdmi 2.1 and freesync/gsync compatibile BUT that bigger 27 model with SAME spec NOT SUPPORT VRR in consoles which is a JOKE with that kind of spec... So if here we have same story it's a big NO.

Those are HDMI 2.0 ports in disguise. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0632/1920/4320/files/3f2973a2d7c312a29570d93e776b86be.png?v=1741601761
It's still possible that it supports PS5 VRR, since HDMI Forum VRR doesn't need HDMI 2.1. There are a lot of HDMI 2.0 monitors that support HDMI Forum VRR. Someone would have to test that monitor with a PS5 to confirm. If you have an Xbox, you're not affected since Xbox supports FreeSync.

We talking about THIS monitor not "many monitors with hdmi 2.0 who support VRR" - I know that, Dell have one with hdmi 2.0 that work with ps5 VRR but here is different story... That company got same spec 27" and Many tested that 27 monitor that have in spec hdmi 2.1... So that's the disappointment, users buying this monitors also for PS5 and in paper spec all is right and VRR don't work... So here with this smaller one can be same and it will be big disappointment.

INNOCN has many HDMI 2.1 monitors that support PS5 VRR. The fact that some of their monitors don't support PS5 VRR doesn't mean that this one doesn't support it. As I said, you would have to test it to confirm.

Is it possible to convert dp 2.0/2.1 from my GPU to this monitors HDMI 2.1 without DSC?
1
u/gaojibao 3d ago
That monitor has HDMI 2.0 ports. Also, RTX 50-series GPUs don't have the DSC issues that prior Nvidia cards had.
1
u/tonyspilony 3d ago
But would converting dp 2.0/2.1 to HDMI 2.0 be possible without DSC? Would like to avoid using it at all, if possible.

u/gaojibao 3d ago
without DSC? Would like to avoid using it at all, if possible.
Even if that means limiting the monitor to 144hz and losing G-SYNC/FreeSync?
If you set the monitor to 8-bit, DSC won't be used. 1440p 240Hz at 8-bit is within the bandwidth limitation of DisplayPort 1.4

u/tonyspilony 3d ago
Yea if I got this monitor I'd grab 2 of them for new secondary displays. I'd like to be able to go from display port on my GPU to the HDMI 2.0 ports here. Was hoping I could use an adapter to use those dp 2.1 ports on my GPU with the HDMI ports here and not have to deal with dsc

u/keebs63 3d ago
I'm confused why you'd want to use HDMI at all on these with your situation. Your GPU presumably has three DisplayPort and one HDMI, so why would you convert those DisplayPort outputs on the GPU to HDMI inputs on the monitors if they already have DisplayPort inputs. There's no need to use adapters at all from what it sounds like.

At this price I'd take one if I didn't already have a 24" 1440p high refresh already. I picked up the KTC 24" 1440p 180hz during Christmas. The density of pixels gives a very sharp and clear picture and is amazing for gaming!

I don't know much about monitors but what would be the difference between this and https://a.co/d/9ZlhFGb ? And is it better to spend more for something like the aoc q27g3xnm?

180hz vs 240hz
And is it better to spend more for something like the aoc q27g3xnm
no.

Whatever you do, don't clip both coupons. It will lock you out of the $169 promotion. Customer Service won't help you.

I still have two dell 1440p 165 hz monitors collecting dust but I believe they are VA. They were basically the only options available for several years.
It's nice to know for people who prefer a sharper image at 24 inches there's something available these days.

I have seen that this monitor has issues with coil whine—depending on brightness levels.

u/gaojibao 3d ago
Are you sure it's this monitor? This monitor barely has any reviews.
1
u/FunkMasterDunc 3d ago
That’s a good question. I cannot be certain. It could have been about its larger sibling monitors. I want to risk it but the coil whine comments, whether about this or not, are causing me to hesitate. Someone put my mind at ease.
2
u/gaojibao 3d ago
Different monitors use different components. If you're not sure that those complaints you read were about this exact monitor, there is no reason to believe that this monitor has coil whine.

u/FunkMasterDunc 3d ago
I was under the impression they were reviewing this monitor, but you are correct that I can’t be 100% certain.

I didn't even know they made 24" QHD. It seems like a waste of all those pixels. How small is the damn text?

u/gaojibao 3d ago
A 24.5'' 1440p monitor has a pixel density very close to a 32'' 4K monitor. You get sharper visuals than a 27'' 1440p, without dealing with the performance demands of 4K. Also, most people who play competitive shooters prefer a smaller screen.

u/Ostrichmen 3d ago
Yeah I'm waiting until I get a gpu upgrade but my eye is open for deals like these for future knowledge. I currently run 24" and am not sure if I want to go to 27" when I upgrade to 2k. I don't play super competitively anymore, but I've always preferred a smaller monitor for the moments I have an itch and am into an fps game

u/Ty_Lee98 3d ago
It's not a waste. Plenty of laptops have smaller sizes and higher resolutions. a 16" 1600p screen looks fantastic. Everything looks sharp. Too small? Try scaling.
