Thing is though it's a VA panel, if you want IPS then Sceptre has some 165Hz monitors on Amazon for $120 USD, and have been known to go as low as $99 USD on a sale that include the display port cable. Also I think 165Hz is better for a multi monitor setup, and on mid range to lower end GPUs so they are not stressed out as much.

Switched accounts. Haven’t seen you in a long time. Glad the Bogan (or whatever) is still at it. You’re one of my favorite creators.

I saw this monitor sold at aldi here in sydney. Cool to see its actually a decent monitor.

I got a Q6600 pc from Lidl (just like Aldi) in highschool. I doubled the ram and put a decent GPU in it and it was amazing for years.

A heatsink mod is a thing people are doing to these . they get a very cheap 5 dolor copper heatsink for ram chips and they stick it on the led driver aka bellist once doing that use CRU and force it to 280hz with reduced blanking 2 and its awesome

Thanks for a informative video, was wondering if you have posted the color color correction you did, on you Patreon ?, so we can see if we like your calibration, instead of factory

I bought one of these. Two things I noticed, one good thing, one bad thing. The first is the good, while the official 280Hz OC is locked to 30 minutes, I've found you can OC manually to 280 Hz with NVIDIA Control Panel, by creating a custom resolution and basically copying the official OC settings. This disables the time limit so you can game at 280 Hz for long sessions and it works with UFO test and in games etc just fine. But it might ruin or degrade the panel over time, I'm not sure. Your risk if it does ruin it, I'm not responsible. But considering how cheap it was for the monitor I'm willing to risk it before a long gaming session, if it breaks, by then 240Hz and 280Hz monitors at 1080p will be just as, if not more affordable, to replace it. Second is the bad, I noticed that it has like a checkerboard pattern or grain on certain gray colours or black colours after its first turned on, I noticed it in games of characters with colorful outfits too and this is at stock 240Hz without the OC. But it's also noticeable on desktop when using a browser and stuff, but it's more noticeable on fullscreen games for whatever reason. After the panel warms up a bit it tends to go away. It's random whether it appears or not and I've seen it come back too after a long session. At least this is what I noticed with my unit that I got, but perhaps I just got a bad unit. I'd return it but I couldn't be assed to put it all back in box, go down to Aldi, go through the whole process and potentially be told there's no more in stock (I haven't seen them at my local Aldi since, looks like they sold out). Before anyone says "It's 1080p what do you expect?! 1080p is not sharp". I have an AW2521H which is 1080p, 360Hz, IPS and it does not exhibit this grain behavior with the same cable, same PC, same NVIDIA card, same port etc. It's just a feature of this monitor's panel for whatever reason, might be some sort of dithering or firmware problem, I dunno. Apparently, from what I could gather about the panel, this is an 8-bit panel with FRC, with a standard RGB sub-pixel layout, so who knows what Lenovo has done to cause that grain on my unit. Also these could be B-grade panels, as in they're not perfect like an A-grade panel would be, but they're good enough for usage and maybe that's why the monitor's so cheap because they've used cheaper panels that have some imperfections. It honestly doesn't bother me because by then I'm clicking heads on CS2 or I am playing whatever eSports game and I get lost in the gameplay for me to care about the dithering/grain/checkerboarding. So it's not really that big an issue, it's just something I noticed. Also another thing is I noticed the sharpening on the monitor's OSD is either "Blurry as shit" or "just slightly sharpened" or "over sharpened" There's no "neutral or no sharpening" setting. So I settled with "slightly sharpened" and I forget what number it is, but it's something like 3/6 or one notch above the middle. And before anyone asks, lowering the sharpening did not remove the grain effect, it just make the image look doubled almost with the grain still there. Overall, I got this when they were being sold for $249 AUD and I think it's a great monitor for the price. To get any other 1080p 280 Hz monitor is either $100-250 AUD more depending on your region and sales. Decent buy and a good stand.

After using the same 24 inch monitor for about 12 years and not owning a decent PC until the end of last year. I went out and bought this monitor from Aldi for $249 AUD the day it came out.

I still use it as my main screen unless I play a FPS then I use the LENOVO because of the higher refresh rate and yep it only gets max 240hz

I wonder how bad is ghosting / black smearing on this model? Choosing between this and AOC 25G3ZM

I got an 8 year old 23" Asus IPS monitor for $10 US at the thrift store. Only 60Hz but how many people who can only afford a $130 monitor can afford a PC that can push 280fps, even in Fortnite performance mode? If you are wondering how good an 8 year old IPS display from a major name brand could be, the answer is 'surprisingly good'. I will also note the one I got was clearly not used much. You could also find an 8 year old display with a bunch of dead pixels and other screen blemishes. I'm a fan of modern VA panels because of the contrast and black levels. There is little performance difference between VA and IPS these days. But there are better VA panels out there and if color accuracy is important to you, you need to be spending $3-400 to get something that is good out of the box. But if you are only spending $100 US for a monitor and mostly play esports, you should probably get an IPS display.

Anybody else love it when he says Aussie dollars? I get a giggle out of it every time.

In Germany, Aldi is actually well known for their tech offerings, usually it is all Medion stuff, but they expanded to other brands in the years. They used to have occasional offerings but kicked it out of the park in the early 2000 with their first entry level PC for an absolute killer price, it sold out within hours in the entirety of Germany. From then on they were doing so well that others like LIDL, Penny and such started to offer tech deals. for 130$US i would say it is a decent deal, VA is a bit of a downside IMO, but for that price we can"t expect a IPS or OLED panel, 1080p 240Hz is still good, 1440p would be better but eh.
