Gigabyte Gaming G24F 24" Negro 2022

The G24F 2 hits 180Hz with a 1ms response time, landing in the 82nd percentile for performance. Color is solid at 95% DCI-P3, but the 1080p display quality sits at just 22nd percentile. At CAD 140 it's a bargain, at CAD 502 it's a rip-off.

180Hz at 1ms is the whole point of this monitor, and it delivers. That refresh rate puts it in the 82nd percentile for performance, which means it's one of the better gaming panels we've tracked at this size. FreeSync Premium keeps things smooth with AMD GPUs, and the SS IPS panel means you're not sacrificing viewing angles for speed. The 165Hz figure in the spec sheet is a bit confusing, Gigabyte lists both 165Hz and 180Hz depending on where you look, but either way you're well past the 144Hz baseline most gamers consider the floor.

The 8-bit panel with HDR ready support is nice on paper, but 300 nits isn't enough to make HDR actually pop. You'll get the color gamut benefits, 95% DCI-P3 is genuinely good for this price class, but don't expect real HDR performance. The 18W power draw is efficient, and at 4800g it's not going to strain a monitor arm. For fast-paced shooters and esports titles, this thing keeps up. For anything else, the 1080p resolution starts to show its limits.

Against the LG UltraGear 27G810A-B, you're trading screen size and likely better display quality for a lower price. The ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B is a completely different beast, ultrawide 1440p with a much higher price tag, so it's not really a fair fight. The Dell S2725QC brings 4K resolution but sacrifices the high refresh rate, making it better for productivity than gaming. The Acer Nitro XV272U W2bmiiprx offers 1440p at a similar gaming focus, which might be the smarter buy if you want sharper visuals. The HP OMEN 27qs G2 is another 1440p high-refresh option that outclasses this panel in display quality. The G24F 2 wins on pure speed per dollar, but loses on resolution and overall display quality to nearly every competitor here.

Pricing is all over the place in Canada. We're seeing CAD 140 to CAD 502 across two listings, which is a massive CAD 362 spread. At the low end, this is an absolute steal for a 180Hz IPS panel. At the high end, you're paying way too much for a 1080p monitor when 1440p options start appearing in that range. Memory Express has it listed, and Newegg is pushing it with their usual fast shipping pitch. If you can snag it near CAD 140, the price per hertz is excellent. If you're looking at CAD 400 or more, walk away and look at the competition.

The Gigabyte G24F 2 hits 180Hz with a 1ms response time, and that's the headline here. For a 23.8-inch IPS panel, those numbers put it in the 82nd percentile for performance in our database. You're getting a genuinely fast gaming monitor without paying for a bigger screen or 1440p resolution you might not need. The color story is solid too, 95% DCI-P3 and 125% sRGB coverage, which lands it in the 73rd percentile for color. That's well above average for a budget gaming panel.

But the display itself is a weak spot. At 22nd percentile, the 1080p resolution on a 23.8-inch screen is fine for competitive gaming but feels dated if you're coming from anything sharper. The 300 nits brightness is adequate for a dim room but won't wow you in a bright office. And the customer rating sits at 3.4 out of 5 from just 3 reviews, which puts social proof near the bottom at 17th percentile. Not a lot of people have weighed in yet, and the ones who did weren't blown away.

Skip this if you care about display quality more than raw speed. The 22nd percentile display ranking means the 1080p resolution and 300 nits brightness will feel limiting for anything beyond competitive gaming. If you do photo or video work, the 73rd percentile color score is decent but not enough to overcome the resolution ceiling. And if you're not running an AMD GPU, you're leaving FreeSync Premium on the table. Anyone with a budget above CAD 350 should look at 1440p high-refresh options instead.

The Gigabyte G24F 2 is a speed-focused budget monitor that makes sense only at the right price. The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time are genuinely impressive for the 82nd percentile performance ranking, and the color coverage is better than expected. But the 22nd percentile display score tells the real story, this is a 1080p panel in a world moving toward 1440p. If you're a competitive gamer on a tight budget and you find it near CAD 140, it's a solid buy. At anything above CAD 300, you're better off saving for a 1440p high-refresh option.
