The KTC Q24T09 stands out in our gaming monitor comparison as the only one of the eight offering QHD resolution, and with nearly 2,000 verified reviews, it also has the most real buyers behind it.

QHD at 180Hz: an unusual combination at this price

Most gaming monitors under €150 stick to Full HD, so finding QHD resolution (2560×1440) with a Fast-IPS panel at 180Hz in that range is uncommon. That extra resolution is especially noticeable in open-world games and productivity work, where the additional screen real estate makes a real difference over Full HD.

HDR400 and Adaptive Sync: extras that don't always come at this price

HDR400 support improves contrast in compatible content, and Adaptive Sync (compatible with FreeSync and G-Sync) eliminates tearing without hurting performance — two features that on monitors from more established brands are usually reserved for pricier tiers.

It is, however, the second-highest price in our monitor comparison, though the QHD resolution largely justifies that gap over the Full HD options in the same range. For anyone who wants to jump to QHD without paying for premium brands like ASUS or Dell, it's one of the best value-for-money options on the market right now.
