KTC H24T09P monitor test - great office monitor with a small gamer touch

KTC manufactures monitors. Gamer monitors. There are many people who think that gamer also means that gamer stuff is not good for anything other than playing. It's really not, because gamer means better, stronger, more durable hardware than its average counterparts.

To be honest, I didn't think much about how KTC H24T09P is a gamer or not. I just wanted a simple, easy-to-use, but one of the best monitor for work. As cheap as possible!

In this respect, KTC has come to the fore. Of course, they have large monitors, they have very large monitors, there are also those with OLED displays, so they can meet above-average needs, but mine was not, you could say it was very average.

Why did I choose the KTC solution?

Of course, because of the price-performance ratio! The KTC H24T09P offers a high image refresh rate, a low response time, and if by chance you need e.g. it will also be good for me to test a video card, since we will get both G-Sync and Freesync technologies. Moreover, since I bought it as an office monitor, it was nice to see the blue light filter option among the specifications! The fact that we also get HDR10 support can be said to be an extra, that is, we get vivid, brilliant colors.

It's an ELED monitor anyway. In other words, the lighting is ELED, which is similar to OLED, but only because of the characters used for the name.

ELED, or “Edge-Lit LED” technology, is a lighting method used mainly in flat screen televisions and monitors. The essence of the technology is that the LEDs are located on the sides of the device and emit light from there towards the screen. This method allows for thinner and lighter displays, which is especially important for portable devices. ELED systems are often cheaper than other LED solutions as they require fewer LEDs.

However, ELED technology is not perfect. Because the light comes from the sides, the center of the image is often less bright than the sides. This can result in uneven lighting, especially on larger screens. Overall, ELED can be a cost-effective and energy-saving solution, but compromises must be made in terms of image quality.

So, the bottom line is that this technology will be a good solution mostly in smaller displays, where due to the small diagonal of the image, the side lighting also provides adequate brightness in the center of the image. Well, this is the case with the KTC H24T09P, since we are talking about a 24-inch display.

Anyway, the resolution of the monitor is FHD resolution, so it is an average piece from this point of view. Anyway, if you want to play games with it, then FHD is not considered bad, it is not by chance that larger 27-inch displays are also produced with only FHD resolution, you need them if your video card is not something brutal. Weaker machines can serve monitors with native FHD resolution with a suitable frame rate.

The display panel is IPS. For a long time, manufacturers couldn't use IPS for gamer stuff because they couldn't reduce the latency properly. This is why we were able to use old, outdated TN panel gamer monitors for a very long time, even when the IPS technology offered by LG, offering much better image quality, was already available.

Fortunately, nowadays we are beyond this level, the KTC H24T09P has a response time of 1 ms, which is perfect for games, multimedia, and everything.

Let's see the monitor itself!

Relatively small box with usual KTC motifs. It is so light that at first you might think that the display was left out during the packaging, but of course it was not. It's there with the screw-on aluminum leg, which is also weightless. It's a wonder it doesn't float over the table.

Let me note that even though it is small, even though the leg is light, it still holds the strap, it can handle the monitor. Now, when I am writing this article, I have been using the monitor for the third month on a daily basis, and the leg lasts like hairspray in rain and wind. So no problem with that.

The KTC H24T09P is very entry-level, and this is reflected not only in its price, but also in the materials used and the design. The first one is not bad, it just feels that the overly thick plastics around and behind the 24-inch panel were felt unnecessary. The design is so bad. There is a red stripe on the back, which indicates the nature of the gamer, but we don't see this during use, so they could have left it off.

From the front, i.e. from the display side, everything is flawless. The rim is barely 1 centimeter at the bottom and this is the thickest part, because it can be maybe 2 millimeters on the sides and top. What I really like is that this is not a scam either, because the image-forming surface of the IPS panel does not extend to the frame, but almost, so this is what was once called a frameless solution. I like.

What I like even more is the small joystick in the back, in the middle.

This little joystick is the tip of my heart, I like it much better than the mechanical buttons on the bottom of the monitor, and even more than the touch-sensitive buttons on the bottom of the monitor, which I always press when I'm on that part of the table. It often happens that I accidentally turn off the monitor, which even makes me holy.

So, this little joystick is a gift. One press and I'm in the menu, I move left and right, up and down, I confirm the setting by pressing it. There is no accidental suppression, I do not switch on the monitor unintentionally. So that's good!

It is also good that there are four VESA attachment points on the back of the monitor. This is meant to be screwed onto a wall or monitor stand, but for me it is used to set up my wireless workplace.

I owe you another article about a BMAX mini-PC, which I attached to the back of the monitor with the VESA frame that came with the machine. My keyboard and mouse are wireless, the computer is on the back of the monitor, so only the power supply, whose cables I had to route.

Before I forget, despite the fact that the monitor is cheap and entry-level, it has a lot of great capabilities already listed above, and I can't go without saying that no less than 4 ports are available for image input. We get 2 HDMI and two DisplayPorts, which will be enough for everything!

What is it like to use the KTC H24T09P?

Well, you can already understand from the above that I don't play it. In this case, G-Sync and Freesync technologies are unnecessary for me, but all other knowledge is very necessary!

Due to the health of my eyes, the blue light reduced mode is essential. The 16 million colors it can display, HDR10, is necessary for me to see suitable colors when editing images, colors that will also appear in your browser (if your monitor wants it). It is also not incidental that, although we are talking about a cheap monitor, the coverage of the sRGB color space is 125,25 percent, which is considered particularly good in this price category.

I think IPS technology still doesn't need to be buried, even though OLED is here, IPS can still be used in plenty for graphics work.

I write at least half of my articles on this machine, I use it to subtitle my videos, and of course I use it to surf the net, use Facebook, and do everything else that I need for my work, and it doesn't require crazy powerful hardware.

So I use the KTC H24T09P only and exclusively for work, but on a daily basis.

That's also why I wrote above that being a gamer is an advantage for me even if I use gamer stuff for work.

The price at the end of the article. Since the KTC H24T09P is the entry level to the gamer world (it's true, they have a monitor that is even more entry-level...) the price is not bad either. If you use the 7M3ERCUF coupon code, then you can buy it from the Polish warehouse for HUF 50. If you have already made a purchase at Geekbuying, you will receive G-coins after the purchase, with which you can further reduce the price of the monitor.
