Not everyone needs 144Hz. If you’re coming from a 60Hz screen and play casually — story games, MOBAs, a little Fortnite with friends — the jump to 100Hz is already transformative, and the KOORUI E2412F delivers it for less than a new game costs.
This is a 23.8-inch 1080p VA panel. VA means strong contrast: dark scenes in horror games and night maps look properly deep instead of washed-out gray. Colors are punchy, and the slim-bezel design looks far more premium than the price suggests.
Be realistic about what it is: a 100Hz panel won’t satisfy serious competitive players, the stand is basic tilt-only, and KOORUI is a value brand without the service network of giants. But as a second monitor, a dorm-room upgrade, or a first step into high-refresh gaming, it’s outstanding value. Bottom line: the cheapest monitor we’d actually recommend to a gamer in 2026. If $90 is your ceiling, this is your screen.
