It's 140 bucks usually, $115 with a prime subscription or free trial. Last week it was $101 which was literal theft. Also - do NOT buy the 24E4. That one has a slower VA panel.

Well, Koorui is essentially HKC, the one who made the panels for ASUS, MSI, etc. It is only natural that they can have a bit more control over the pricing. The thing is though, they sometimes have limited supply or they deliberately mess up the color accuracy to make it so that they didn't directly compete with their main buyers (ASUS, MSI, etc.).

Ever since I got my setup, I’ve always used the monitor stand that the monitor came with. Same with my second monitor. But that monitor mount that you have was one of the best choices I could’ve made because holy, it frees up so much and I can move it however I want. Got 2 of the instantly! Thank you!
This is hilarious, and hugely helpful. Shopping around and looking at some other videos about budget monitors, which all have similar spec'd recommendations, but they're all £300+. The value on these two mentioned is staggering, will almost certainly be getting one. Thanks from the UK!
Really appreciate the budget content, Ali. I spend my tech budget on my work setup because that pays the bills and don’t have much left over for gaming this is great. Ordered the Pixio. I’ve been looking for a decent affordable 1080p gaming monitor and had run into all the issues you mentioned. Will use a vesa quick release mount on my monitor arm so I can switch back and forth between work (high res, low refresh) and play (low res, high refresh) monitors.
the motion graphics work in your videos already was good but im seeing those little extra touches! great stuff
4:03 I like how you synced "throw it on" with the tracer pulse bomb throw

bro you are buff asf, couldn't focus on the review cuz of those canons. keep up the great work.
Love your reviews it would be cool if you talked about the low brightness preference or just how low their brightness goes while still looking good
I've had the Pixio PX248PS for about 2 years now and really couldn't find much to complain about other than the prong-like monitor stand, which gets in the way of some mouse movement. Other than that I've noticed picture quality and responsiveness is extremely competitive for the price.
Pretty cool to see you reviewing some budget stuff. Your channel is definitely high tier stuff usually and great for top budget recommendations, so a switch back to some of the casual gamers is refreshing! Like always, great video Ali.

I got mine the other on Prime Day Lightning Deal for $115 CAD ($85 US DOLLARS). I am impressed. I wanted something that was IPS and 144hz and was looking to spend $175 but I saved $60 and this monitor looks and performs just as good as my main Asus VG249Q1A which is 24" 165Hz 1080p IPS.
I think Dell's 1080p 240Hz monitor (forgot the exact model, S2522HG?) is on sale for $150 now and then. That's the closest I can think of in terms of the bigger brand's similar offerings. The competition in this price range just seems to be increasingly fierce, which is a great thing.
If you are sure its the same panel the difference in response times is due to the individual tuning most likely. Overdriver settings or panel variation.
For those interested, the Pixio is currently $135. MSRP is $170 edit: Includes a $34 coupon

It regularly goes on sale for $150USD/$200CAD and can get rakuten discounts as well. For $115 though on a budget build, this is also a crazy option.

That was the best explanation of why response time is important I've heard to date. Kinda makes me sad that the wife could have gotten this, but she snagged a Vewsonic 24'' panel from Prime Day for £85. Its 75hz, 1080p but the colours are meh and the response time is... well it's gotta be up around 6-7ms.
I started replacing my monitors last month and found this brand. I’ve got two and it felt like I was getting away with murder. For what you’re getting there wasn’t a better price
Love these budget finds :D
nice find, Optimum Tech guy!
i just got a lg 24gn60r and its been really good so far apparently is a refresh of the 24gn600 and uses the same panel so i just used a colour profile and the settings from a video about the 24gn600 and the colours and display looks really good also the mbr works pretty well with almost no ghosting
Just in time, cheers. Been looking for budget gaming panel for my gf, went ahead and ordered Koorui
i actually bought a portable monitor from Koorui that arrived yesterday, didn't test it yet so can't say much about how it performs, but I will test it later today or tomorrow and see if its any good. On another note, I just checked Amazon Japan and you can get the 24E4 Koorui monitor for a bit less than 90USD here in Japan at the moment the 24E3 with IPS is 112 USD
I might have to pick this up as a cheap second monitor. Cool find!
I have two 1080p IPS panels to either side of my main panel. They were like $125 4 years ago, and do a great job for work stuff... I might have to buy two of these to replace them though!
Really like how the product was reviewed! Can you consider checking out the koorui gno6? I'm deciding to take this 24e3 or the gno6 (27" 1080p, ips).
I believe Koorui is the OEM for a lot of other monitor brands, just like KTC is for LG etc.
It’s good day when optimum tech upload a video 🎉❤
I’ve been seeing these pop up all over the Japan Amazon website. Was curious because this brand seemed to come out of nowhere. That is an insane bang for your buck deal
I just finished building my setup, this monitor was the one I used after watching multiple videos about it. 2 days have passes... I was playing Cs2 and it began flickering and then the screen went black. Nothing I did worked. Read some reddit reviews on it, and turns out this is very common with this monitor. Will be returning it.
110 USD here in Japan. Thanks for putting this on my radar.
I run two Koorui 1440p 144hz 27" monitors. $165 a piece currently. I put them on my existing monitor arms to add to my setup. Color isn't great compared to my main display but absolutely acceptable and better than a lot of other monitors I've had in the past.

I just got the PX248 Pro last week, I’m pretty happy with it, especially because it’s on sale for $135 right now. It has all the features I’m looking for on that stand with the height adjustment and pivot. Only downsides were some light bleed that I’ve decided to live with and the speakers it has are pretty trash. This is my first use of DP, so I can’t compare to another display, but it’s not good enough to listen to media with, audio is too low with everything set to near max. Ok for system sounds.

I've bought the Koorui 24E3 on sale for 139$C on sale here in Canada for my son's birthday. I didn't trust that brand, so I also ordered the Viewsonic VX2428 for 159$C, which was also a great deal as it turned out. I had those two monitor set up side by side and they were very similar in all the tests, but color accuracy was much worse on the Koorui, despite it's advertised SRGB mode faces had an orange tint and colors were a little more washed out. That and the fact that the monitor settings and options were more flashed out on the Viewsonic made me send back the Koorui. Nonetheless for the money it was still a good gaming monitor.
