KOORUI G2511P 24.5" Black

The KOORUI G2511P hits 200Hz with a 1ms response time, landing in the 85th percentile for performance at just 150 GBP. That's the whole story. Use DisplayPort to get the full refresh rate, because HDMI 1.4 caps at 144Hz.

The 200Hz refresh rate is the star here, and it's a genuine standout. Our performance score puts this monitor in the 85th percentile, which means it's faster than most panels in our database. The 1ms response time keeps motion blur to a minimum, and Adaptive-Sync support means FreeSync and G-Sync compatible setups should run without tearing or stutter. For games like Valorant, CS2, or Apex, that combination is exactly what you want.

But there's a catch. The HDMI ports are version 1.4, which caps out at 144Hz, so you'll need to use the DisplayPort 1.2 connection to hit the full 200Hz. That's a real limitation if you planned to plug in a console or a laptop with only HDMI. The panel is IPS, which is nice for viewing angles at 178 degrees, but the 250cd/m2 brightness is modest, and HDR400 is more of a checkbox than a real HDR experience. Still, for the price, the raw speed is hard to argue with.

Stacked against the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 or the Gigabyte M Series OLED MO27Q28G, the KOORUI looks outclassed in color and contrast, but those monitors cost significantly more and target a different buyer. The LG UltraGear 27G810A-B and ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B offer better overall feature sets and larger screens, but again, you'll pay for it. Where the G2511P wins is raw refresh rate per dollar. The 200Hz panel at 150 GBP undercuts most competitors while still landing in the 85th percentile for performance. The BenQ MA270U is a better all-rounder for creative work, but it can't match this KOORUI's speed at this price.

At 150 GBP, the KOORUI G2511P is one of the cheapest ways to get a 200Hz IPS panel. The performance-per-pound ratio is excellent, especially since our performance score puts it in the 85th percentile. You're paying budget money for a refresh rate that would have cost double or triple a few years ago. The trade-off is that everything else, connectivity, ergonomics, display quality, is average or below. But if your priority is high frame rate gaming on a tight budget, this is a lot of speed for the money.

The KOORUI G2511P is a 24.5-inch 1080p IPS panel that hits 200Hz with a 1ms response time, and that refresh rate is the headline. In our database, its performance lands in the 85th percentile, which puts it ahead of most monitors we've tested for pure speed. You're getting a 90% DCI-P3 color gamut and HDR400 support too, though the display quality overall sits at the 39th percentile, so this is a speed-first panel, not a color-critical one.

At 150 GBP, this is a budget gaming monitor that punches above its weight where it counts for esports and fast-paced titles. The 3-sided thin bezel design and tilt range from -5 to 20 degrees are fine, but ergonomics are limited, and connectivity is sparse with just two HDMI 1.4 ports and one DisplayPort 1.2. If you want a high refresh rate without spending much, this thing delivers. Just don't expect it to do much else.

Skip this one if you need a monitor for creative work or anything beyond gaming. The display quality lands in the 39th percentile, and the 250cd/m2 brightness with HDR400 won't impress anyone doing photo or video editing. Connectivity is a real weak spot at the 7th percentile, with only two HDMI 1.4 ports and one DisplayPort 1.2, so multi-device setups will feel cramped. And if you want height adjustment or swivel, the tilt-only ergonomics will frustrate you. This is a single-purpose monitor, and that purpose is fast PC gaming over DisplayPort.

The KOORUI G2511P is a no-frills speed machine. The 200Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time put it in the 85th percentile for performance, which is remarkable at 150 GBP. You'll need DisplayPort to unlock the full refresh rate, and the connectivity and ergonomics are weak spots, but for esports and fast-paced gaming on a budget, this monitor delivers where it matters most. If you want a high refresh rate without spending a fortune, this is an easy recommendation. Just know you're buying speed, not versatility.
