Does a $109 gaming monitor really make a difference in fast-paced FPS titles? We tested the KOORUI G2411P against AOC, ASUS, Sceptre, and LG in real matches across Valorant, CS2, and Apex Legends—and came away genuinely surprised by what this 200Hz panel could deliver. As someone who’s spent way too many hours on CS2, Apex Legends, and Valorant, I know this: at some point, your monitor becomes your biggest bottleneck.
So this Prime Day, I went on a mission: could a $109 monitor actually make me better at shooters? My test subject: the KOORUI G2411P, a 23.8” IPS panel with a 200Hz refresh rate, 1ms MPRT, and HDR400 support. Specs that sound ambitious—especially when the price tag undercuts big names like AOC 24G2, Sceptre E248B, and ASUS VG248QG by 20–40 bucks. So I plugged it in, booted up my favorite shooters, and ran it through a week of competitive stress. Here’s how it held up.
FPS Test #1: Valorant — Target Tracking & Flicks
This is where high refresh matters the most. Compared to the AOC 24G2 (144Hz), which I also had on-hand for testing, the KOORUI’s 200Hz panel felt snappier during flick shots and peeks. You can’t always see 200Hz vs 144Hz in stills—but in movement? You feel it.
- Quick peeks into hookah on Bind? Felt more in-control.
- Tracking a Jett dashing across mid? Easier to stay on-target.
- Crosshair felt more “anchored” mid-flick, less floaty than the Sceptre 165Hz VA panel, which often ghosted during fast motion.
Also worth noting: KOORUI’s IPS panel handled bloom and high-contrast agents (like Phoenix ulting in a smoke) more cleanly. No visible haloing or washout.
FPS Test #2: CS2 — Motion Clarity & Black Visibility
CS is brutal on monitors. If you can’t see someone in a shadow, you die. So I loaded up Dust2, played around mid and tunnels, and this is what stood out:
- Black level performance? Surprisingly solid. Compared to my ASUS VG248QG, the KOORUI actually showed more tonal detail in lower-gamma scenes.
- There was no black crush, which is often a problem on cheaper panels with aggressive contrast.
- I threw up a crosshair contrast test in Workshop maps—KOORUI handled it with minimal ghosting.
The G2411P also supports FreeSync, and when connected via DisplayPort to my RTX 3060, G-Sync compatibility worked without drama. That’s not something I could say for the Sceptre, which exhibited tearing above 160fps unless manually tuned.
FPS Test #3: Apex Legends — Real-World Chaos
This is where things get chaotic. In Apex, the monitor’s job is to keep up when everything goes sideways. Drop into Fragment with three other squads. Grenades flying. Doors broken. Octane stimmed out of his mind. And yet, KOORUI kept up. In fact, I hit a new record in damage on that panel, and I’m not saying it was just the monitor—but I’m also not not saying that.
Compared to the LG 24GN600 (144Hz), what changed was my ability to track enemies while hip-firing in tight spaces. The higher refresh and tighter motion response gave me more usable information, faster. Also: HDR isn’t groundbreaking here, but it helped highlight players in bright vs dark zones, especially when transitioning out of shadows in indoor zones like The Dome.
Menu & Ergonomics: Better Than Expected
The OSD (on-screen display) surprised me. A 5-way joystick, placed smartly on the back-right, let me:
- Adjust overdrive, FreeSync, and FPS modes without digging through menus
- Toggle HDR with two clicks
- Cycle inputs between PC and PS5 without a full reboot
No other monitor I tested under $130 had this level of usability. Both the AOC and Sceptre relied on old-school button layouts that were slower and often confusing.
Spec-for-Dollar Comparison
Here’s how it compares to other popular models:
- AOC 24G2 offers a 144Hz IPS panel with 1ms response time and G-Sync support, typically priced between $129.99–$139.99. It’s solid, but you’re paying more for less speed.
- Sceptre E248B features a 165Hz VA panel, but with a slower 5ms response and no official G-Sync support. We observed screen tearing on NVIDIA GPUs unless you dive into driver tuning—less than ideal, especially at $119.99.
- ASUS VG248QG is faster on paper (0.5ms), but uses a TN panel—known for worse color and viewing angles. It also costs $159.99, nearly 50% more than the KOORUI.
- LG 24GN600-B provides a 144Hz IPS with 1ms response and G-Sync, but again, it’s priced higher at around $139.99, with no notable advantages in practice.
In short: KOORUI is the only one combining 200Hz, IPS color, low-latency motion, and VRR support under $110. The others either cost more, cut corners with VA/TN panels, or lack adaptive sync polish.
Final Verdict: Worth the Hype?
Is this the best FPS monitor under $110?
Definately, yes! Does it beat premium $300 options from Alienware or BenQ?
Of course not. But for anyone playing CS2, Apex, Valorant, or even Fortnite on a modest GPU, this is the best “budget but serious” gaming panel I’ve tested this year.
If your current screen is 60Hz, 75Hz, or some “office monitor in disguise” — this is a real upgrade. And it might actually get you a few more kills.
