- Three-year warranty is rare for budget monitors 72nd

What owners think
The Word on the Street
The proof
Performance
The 240Hz refresh rate is the headline here, and it lands in the 88th percentile for performance. That's genuinely impressive for a monitor this cheap. The 1ms MPRT and Adaptive-Sync keep things smooth in fast-paced shooters. The 3000:1 contrast ratio is a nice bonus for a VA panel, giving you deeper blacks than most IPS monitors in this range. But the 350 nits brightness is just okay, and the HDR support is more of a checkbox than a real feature. Don't expect HDR to blow you away.

vs Competition
The KTC H24S17P goes head-to-head with the LG UltraGear 27G810A-B and the Acer Nitro XV272U W2bmiiprx. The LG is bigger at 27 inches and has better color accuracy, but it costs significantly more. The Acer offers 1440p resolution, which is sharper for productivity, but you'll pay extra for it. If you're purely gaming and want the highest refresh rate per dollar, the KTC wins. If you need a monitor for work and play, the Acer's higher resolution is worth the premium. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR is in a completely different league, OLED and expensive, so it's not really a fair fight.

Price
Value & Pricing
At around $150 USD, this is one of the best budget gaming monitor deals we've seen. The EUR pricing is a bit messier, ranging from EUR 205 to EUR 226 across vendors. If you're in Europe, shop around and grab the EUR 205 listing. For the money, you're getting a 240Hz panel that would have cost $300+ a few years ago. The three-year warranty sweetens the deal. This is a no-brainer for budget esports players.

Overview
The KTC H24S17P is a 24-inch curved gaming monitor that punches way above its price class where it counts: speed. You're getting 240Hz, a 1ms response time, and Adaptive-Sync for around $150 USD. That's the kind of spec sheet that used to cost double. The catch? It's a 1080p VA panel with a 1500R curve, so don't expect it to win any color accuracy awards. But if you're a competitive gamer on a budget, this thing is a legitimate steal.
Common Questions
Q: Is this monitor good for console gaming?
It's okay. The PS5 and Xbox Series X support 120Hz, not 240Hz, so you won't use the full refresh rate. But Adaptive-Sync works over HDMI 2.0, and the 1080p resolution is fine for fast-paced console games. Just don't expect 4K.
Q: Can I mount this on a monitor arm?
Yes, it has a standard VESA 100x100 mount. The included stand only tilts, so a monitor arm is a solid upgrade if you want height adjustment.
Q: Is the curve annoying for work?
For spreadsheets and documents, the 1500R curve can feel a bit odd at first. Most people get used to it, but if you do a lot of text-heavy work, a flat IPS panel might be a better fit.
Who Should Skip This
If you're a graphic designer or video editor who needs accurate colors, this isn't it. The 106% sRGB coverage sounds fine on paper, but the VA panel's viewing angles and color shift will drive you nuts. Go get an IPS monitor like the Acer Nitro XV272U instead. And if you want 1440p sharpness for productivity, skip this and spend a bit more.
Verdict
Buy it if you're a competitive gamer who wants 240Hz without spending $300+. The KTC H24S17P delivers where it matters most: speed and smoothness. The 1080p resolution and VA panel are compromises, but they're the right compromises at this price. This is the monitor to get if you play Valorant, CS2, or Overwatch on a budget.
