KTC H24S17P 23.6" Black 2026

240Hz for under $120? Yeah, it's real. Just don't expect premium anything else.

The 240Hz refresh rate is the real deal here, and it's what puts this monitor in the top tier of our database for gaming performance. The 1ms MPRT response time keeps motion blur to a minimum, and Adaptive-Sync handles screen tearing without drama. The 3000:1 contrast ratio is a nice surprise at this price, giving darker scenes more depth than you'd expect from a budget VA panel. The 350 nits brightness is solid for indoor use, though HDR is more of a checkbox than a feature. Don't expect mind-blowing HDR highlights.

Against the LG UltraGear 27G810A-B, the KTC wins on price but loses on size and color accuracy. The ASUS TUF VG34VQL1B is a completely different beast, ultrawide and way more expensive, so it's not really a fair fight. The Acer Nitro XV272U is the closest real competitor, offering 1440p at a similar price point, but you sacrifice the 240Hz refresh rate. If you're purely chasing frames per second, the KTC is the better buy. If you want sharper text and better colors for mixed use, the Acer makes more sense.

At $119 USD, this is one of the cheapest ways to get a real 240Hz panel. In Europe, prices bounce between EUR 154 and EUR 174 depending on the vendor, so shop around. The Italian listing at EUR 154 is the better deal if you're in that region. For the money, you're getting a display that outperforms monitors costing twice as much in raw gaming specs. Just don't expect premium build quality.

The KTC H24S17P is a budget 240Hz curved gaming monitor that punches way above its price class where it counts. You get a genuine 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms MPRT, and a 1500R curve for under $120 in the US. That's the headline. It's not going to win any color accuracy awards, but for fast-paced shooters and esports titles, this thing is a steal.

If you're looking for a monitor for photo editing, graphic design, or anything color-critical, this isn't it. The 1080p resolution and mediocre color accuracy will frustrate you. Go grab a 1440p IPS panel like the Acer Nitro XV272U instead. Also skip this if you need height adjustment out of the box, the tilt-only stand is a pain.

Buy this if you're a competitive gamer on a tight budget who wants 240Hz and doesn't care about 1440p or color-critical work. The KTC H24S17P delivers exactly what it promises: fast, smooth, curved gaming. It's not a monitor for everyone, but for the right person, it's an absolute bargain.
