Top up less than 100 get u the best 24inch monitor based on spec. Ur eyes will thank you for getting 144hz monitor. Even normal usage the smoothness is feel so good on eyes. If wan lower price adjustable need look at dell but i think price almost same bcos adjustable stand is expensivr

Which would one you guys rather at this price range 699 RMB (equivalent to RM 430). IPS panel, 24-inch, good color accuracy are what I'm looking for.
Ignore the fact that I'm buying it from Taobao, they had to be purchased from China and well-known brands like Samsung and LG are generally more expensive there.

AOC | Model: 24B2XH | 75Hz 23.8"

Philips | Model: 243V7 | 60Hz 24"
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a220m...b8c549ef3458123

Xiaomi | Model: XMMNT238CB | 60Hz 24"
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a220m...65b6bf1625c4911

I guess I'm leaning towards to AOC because it a pretty renown brand in Asia, but I have doubt in its reliability, I hope someone can press their past experience.
There seems to more buyer in the Philips model compared to AOC (no idea why), this Xiaomi's monitor is relatively new and with fewer reviews, so there's a risk there. Though, I have high hopes for Xiaomi hardware, as they are more willing invest more in quality and material imo.

Senpais, please lemme know your genuine thoughts.

you are right.. thank ya sifu.

The Xiaomi uses a Panda IGZO panel (the Acer VG240Y uses this panel as well)

Personally I'd go with the AOC, due to its higher refresh rate

P.S. most monitors at this price range don't really have good color accuracy - if you want good color accuracy you will need to pony up a lot more for a professional grade one

Bro how u check what panel they use

I use Panelook/TFTCentral panel database, or in many cases, reading through the monitor specs

Both the AOC and the Philips one uses a 6 bit panel with FRC to achieve 8 bit color depth, so my pick would be the Xiaomi as it uses a true 8 bit panel

Ahhh thanks for the info! True 8 bits definitely mean better colour reproduction, right?

After reading your previous comment, we made the assumption that the AOC model is better and bought it. Perhaps, we can refund it

Xiaomi recently released 1A variant of their 24" monitor.
Looking solely on the specs, there doesn't seems to stem any differences. From what I know, they are using panels from different OEM, but Xiaomi promised identical quality.

Is that right?

just reduce your budget to 600 and buy a monitor that can vesa mount. the 100 use to buy those flexi monitor mount.

Hi Sifu's, planning to get a 32inch monitor screen. s?

Size: 32inch preferable.
Resolution: x sure,rite now using FHD (newbie here)
Usage: Gaming,Work, Watch Movie etc
Budget: RM 700-1000
Others: Adjustable height,maybe speaker also

Hi,
I would like to seek your recommendation for a monitor. My old monitor died yesterday.
Size: no preference, though 40 inch is a bit too big for my table.
Resolution: no preference.
Budget: < 3k.
Usage: light gaming, movie.

Preferences:
Must be HDR (HDR10, HDR400, HDR600, HDR1000?).
10-bit panel.
Freesync or Freesync 2.
Speakers preferred, but not essential. I'm not audiophile.

I think someone recommended an Acer Nitro.

remove the "must be HDR" requirement, no such thing as true HDR for monitors under 3k, because all the "HDR" you see in their descriptions are advertisements and a gimmick. these are the monitors that are capable of true HDR: ROG Swift PG35VQ and Acer Predator X35
since your budget allows, try Gigabyte Aorus FI27Q-P RM2690
if you want cheaper but performs similarly, try LG 27GL850 RM1899 (iirc garage sales selling at 1850)
if you really focus on movies and do light gaming, and you don't mind curve display, then i'd suggest VA panels such as ROG Strix XG32VQR RM2125
if you want ultrawide for best movie experience + the black level of VA panel, MSI Optix MAG341CQ RM2668

now it's your choice

Thanks for the recommendations

I was also looking at the Benq EW3280U but it's out of stock everywhere.

The funny thing is for the price of the ROG/Predator you can get something like an LG OLED TV which will outperform these monitors at a lower price

True....however my table cannot hold 65" and above TV

errr i have a dell u2410 that is ccfl backlit and i think it's starting to deteriorate d are there shops in kl/pj that can convert to led backlit?

may i know what is your observation of the failing ccfl?

sometimes the brightness flickers a bit, and the monitor model is from 2008

not related but the panel has couding on the left side edges too

hi Sifu, please recommend me a monitor

Size: 24 ~ 27 (if possible)
Resolution: Full HD
Usage: mainly for office work, browsing, movie
Budget: RM500 max
Others: adjustable height

thanks!
