I have reviewed a lot of gaming monitors at all price points, and I can clearly see a trend forming between OLEDs and LCDs. OLEDs remain at the premium end of both pricing and performance. If you are shopping for an LCD though, it’s getting harder to justify the more expensive fast refresh models. 360 or 500 Hz will cost you at least $500, but there are more and more 240 Hz screens that deliver nearly the same feel for less than $350.
The Titan Army P2510S is a perfect example. It immediately sets itself apart from other speedy 25-inch monitors with QHD resolution. Most of the screens in this genre are FHD. Though the 240 Hz refresh rate isn’t unusual, it has a total lag score of 16ms in my test. I’ve only ever reviewed two quicker displays, the Alienware AW2524H at 15ms and the Asus PG32UCDP at 11ms in its 480 Hz FHD mode. The P2510S is a lot less expensive than either one. In terms of gaming performance and price ratio, it has no equal.
Image quality is good out of the box and better with calibration. Gamma runs a bit dark which is an easy fix and the grayscale is slightly warm. This error is hard to spot in actual content so I can say that the P2510S doesn’t need calibration. With a few adjustments though, it looks significantly better.
Physical features like USB ports and speakers are missing but that’s not unusual at this price. There is a full set of gaming aids though, so everything needed for satisfying play is there. Honestly, once you’ve experienced its quick response, the other stuff won’t matter. If you’re looking for a budget gaming monitor that punches way above its weight class, the Titan Army P2510S is well worth considering.
