Our Top Picks
The best 24 inch QHD 320Hz gaming monitor in this set is the generic 24-inch QHD 320Hz IPS listing, because it is the only one of the ten that matches the keyword on size, resolution and refresh rate at once. The other nine are runner-ups: wrong size, lower refresh rate, a refurbished unit or a mode that drops resolution to reach 320Hz. That is useful to know before you spend money. Below, each listing says plainly where it fits. We also add a GPU-load calculation and a desk-fit check, since 320Hz only helps if your hardware can feed it.

Each monitor in turn
Generic 24-inch QHD 320Hz IPS gaming monitor
This campaign listing is the only exact match. The title claims 24 inches, QHD, 320Hz, IPS, 0.5ms, FreeSync Premium, HDR (HDR600 appears elsewhere in the title), HDMI 2.1 and height adjustment. Treat the HDR, response-time and refresh claims as seller wording. The listing has no brand, so check the exact maker and the warranty terms.
- Pros: Matches size, resolution and refresh rate; height adjustable; HDMI 2.1.
- Cons: No named brand; HDR600 wording needs checking against the listing.
Who it’s for: Competitive players with a GPU that can feed the refresh rate.
KTC 24 inch QHD 180Hz (H24T7, overclock to 185Hz)
This is the right size and resolution, but 180Hz means it falls short of the keyword. The title lists Fast IPS, 1ms, G-Sync/FreeSync, HDR400, height adjustment and both HDMI and DisplayPort. It sits in the budget tier. The 185Hz is described as an overclock, so treat it as a stretch.
- Pros: 24-inch QHD; lower tier; height adjustable.
- Cons: Not 320Hz; HDR400 is a modest label, not a premium HDR claim.
Who it’s for: Players who want 24-inch QHD and will not use more than about 180 fps.
KTC 24M1 (240Hz, overclock to 260Hz)
At 23.8 inches and QHD, this is the closest 24-inch alternative to the keyword in this set, with 240Hz and an overclock to 260Hz. The title mentions a hood, VESA support, a height, pivot, swivel and tilt stand and “Eya Care”, which looks like a typo for eye care. It is a runner-up because it does not reach 320Hz.
- Pros: Near-24 inch QHD at 240Hz; flexible stand; hood.
- Cons: Below 320Hz; the 260Hz figure is an overclock.
Who it’s for: Players who want the smaller size and are happy at 240Hz.
KTC 24 inch QHD 180Hz (H24T7, Renewed)
This is the same H24T7 model as above, but renewed, meaning it is not new stock. Read the condition grade and the return and warranty terms before buying. It lists two HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort. As with its sibling, it is a runner-up on refresh rate.
- Pros: Lowest price tier in the QHD 24-inch group; same port set.
- Cons: Renewed condition; not 320Hz; warranty terms may differ.
Who it’s for: Budget buyers who accept a renewed unit.
KTC 27 inch 240Hz QHD (H27E6S, 275Hz)
A 27-inch panel, so it fails the size part of the keyword. The title mentions a 275Hz overclock, built-in speakers, HDR400, vertical use, a white finish and tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment. It is the most flexible stand in the set, but wrong for a small desk.
- Pros: Pivot stand; built-in speakers; white finish.
- Cons: 27 inches; refresh below 320Hz.
Who it’s for: Players who want a larger screen and want a vertical option.
ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQM5A
ASUS lists 27 inches, 1440p, 300Hz, G-SYNC, Fast IPS, ELMB Sync, 95% DCI-P3, speakers and a 0.3ms claim. The G-SYNC wording is the seller’s, so check whether it means native G-SYNC or compatibility. It is wrong on size and 20Hz short, but it is a recognised brand with a premium tier.
- Pros: Named brand; wide-colour claim; 300Hz.
- Cons: 27 inches; premium tier; 0.3ms is a claim, not a measurement.
Who it’s for: Players who want a brand-backed 27-inch near 320Hz.
Acer Nitro KG271U F3bmiipx
Acer lists a 27 inch QHD IPS panel at 320Hz, 0.5ms, FreeSync Premium, two HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort, a speaker, a bluelight filter and flickerless technology. It matches on resolution and refresh rate, but not size. The two HDMI 2.1 ports are a plus for console owners.
- Pros: 320Hz at QHD; two HDMI 2.1 inputs; mid-range tier.
- Cons: 27 inches, a bigger footprint than 24; no height adjustment mentioned.
Who it’s for: Buyers who can accept 27 inches for 320Hz at QHD.
msi MAG 274QRFW X32
MSI lists 27 inches, 2560×1440, 320Hz, FreeSync Premium, G-SYNC Compatible, HDR Ready, 0.5ms, VESA, tilt and a white finish. The title also mentions a VGA port, which is unusual on a gaming monitor and worth verifying. It is a runner-up on size only.
- Pros: 320Hz QHD; both adaptive sync standards named; VESA.
- Cons: 27 inches; tilt-only stand per the title; “HDR Ready” is a modest claim.
Who it’s for: Players wanting a branded 27-inch 320Hz QHD, with their own stand.
Gawfolk 27 inch 4K dual mode (UHD 160Hz / FHD 320Hz)
This one reaches 320Hz only at FHD, not at QHD. In 4K it runs at 160Hz. The title mentions HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, speakers, PIP/PBP and VESA 75x75mm. Because the 320Hz mode drops to 1080p, it is the furthest from the keyword.
- Pros: 4K for desktop work; PIP/PBP; HDMI 2.1.
- Cons: 320Hz only at 1080p; 27 inches; “dual mode” is a seller claim.
Who it’s for: Someone who wants 4K most of the time and a fast mode occasionally.
KTC 24 inch QHD 100Hz (H24T27)
The H24T27 is a 24 inch QHD IPS monitor, but at only 100Hz, with Adaptive Sync, HDR10, VESA and low blue light. It does not belong in a 320Hz shortlist; it is here because it shares the keyword’s size and resolution. It reads more like a desk monitor than a gaming one.
- Pros: 24-inch QHD at a low tier; DisplayPort and HDMI.
- Cons: 100Hz; tilt-only; not a competitive option.
Who it’s for: Mixed office and casual gaming where refresh rate is a low priority.
How we picked these
We read the ten listing titles and compared them with published specifications, manufacturer documentation and buyer reviews. Nobody on the team used or measured these units. We kept the listing that matches the keyword at the top and labelled the rest as runner-ups instead of pretending they fit. Response-time, HDR and G-SYNC wording come from sellers and are shown that way.
What to look for in a 320Hz QHD monitor
Who actually needs 240 to 320Hz
Frame time at 320Hz is about 3.1 ms, at 240Hz 4.2 ms, at 180Hz 5.6 ms and at 144Hz 6.9 ms. The step from 144 to 240 is larger than from 240 to 320, which saves only about 1 ms per frame. If you play fast shooters at low settings, the jump can matter; if you play slower or heavier games, it often will not.
The GPU requirement, with a worked estimate
QHD is 3,686,400 pixels versus 2,073,600 for 1080p, a ratio of about 1.78. If a game were fully GPU-bound, a card producing 320 fps at 1080p might produce around 180 fps at QHD. Many esports games are partly CPU-bound, so treat this as an estimate. Check results for your own games and card.
Response time and HDR claims
Figures such as 0.5ms and 0.3ms are seller claims, usually for a favourable transition. HDR400 and “HDR Ready” are entry-level labels, and HDR600 appears in only one title here. Do not buy for HDR at this price tier.
HDMI 2.1 and consoles
HDMI 2.1 matters for consoles that output higher frame rates at 1440p or 4K. A console will not use 320Hz, so for consoles the port version matters more than the refresh headline. For PC, DisplayPort is generally the safer route to maximum refresh. If you play on a pad at the desk, our PC controller picks cover that side.
Panel type and desk fit
All ten are described as IPS or Fast IPS. At 24 inches, the width is roughly 20.9 inches and the pixel density about 122 ppi; at 27 inches, the width is about 23.5 inches and the density about 109 ppi. On a 60 cm deep desk, the smaller size makes it easier to view the whole screen, as with many competitive setups. For a couch-style alternative, see TV gaming PCs for big-screen play.
Mistakes buyers make
- Buying 320Hz without a GPU that can reach it. If you average 140 fps, a 165Hz panel gives the same experience.
- Trusting a headline that hides a mode change. The Gawfolk reaches 320Hz only at 1080p.
- Counting overclock numbers as native. 185Hz and 260Hz figures are not the base refresh rates.
- Skipping stand details. Tilt-only stands force a monitor arm or stack of books.
- Ignoring renewed condition. A renewed unit can have a different warranty from a new one, so read the return window and the condition grade before ordering.
- Forgetting input latency elsewhere in the chain. A fast panel does not help much with a worn mouse cable or a laggy wireless link, so budget for the rest of the desk too.
Verdict
If you want exactly 24 inches, QHD and 320Hz, the generic listing is the only match here, so confirm the brand and warranty first. If you can accept 27 inches, Acer Nitro KG271U and the msi MAG 274QRFW X32 are the clearest 320Hz QHD alternatives. If 240Hz is enough, the KTC 24M1 keeps the smaller size. For a tight budget, the KTC H24T7 is the entry route.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 24 inch QHD 320Hz monitor worth it for competitive play?
It can be, if your graphics card can actually push close to 320 frames per second at 2560×1440. At that rate each frame lasts about 3.1 ms, versus roughly 6.9 ms at 144Hz. Players of fast shooters with powerful hardware may notice smoother motion, while those playing demanding single-player titles will rarely reach the ceiling. Check your own average frame rates before paying extra for the top refresh rate.
What graphics card do I need to use 320Hz at QHD?
There is no single answer, since it depends on the game. As a rough estimate, QHD has about 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p, so a card that delivers 320 fps at 1080p may deliver closer to 180 fps at QHD if it is GPU-bound, an assumption that does not hold for every title. Esports-style games with light graphics are the realistic candidates. Check frame-rate data for your specific games and card.
Are the 0.5 ms and 0.3 ms response-time claims reliable?
Treat them as seller claims. Response-time figures are often quoted for a favourable pixel transition and a specific overdrive setting, and different sellers measure differently. The numbers in titles are best used to compare marketing, not performance. Look for independent measurement from a lab you trust, and check whether faster overdrive modes introduce visible trailing, which varies by model.
Do I need HDMI 2.1 for a console?
Only if you want console output above 60Hz at 1440p or 4K on supported consoles, and your console and game support it. HDMI 2.1 can carry more bandwidth than older versions, but a console will not use 320Hz, since console output ceilings are far lower. For PC use, DisplayPort is typically the safer path to the maximum refresh rate. Check the listing for port versions.
Is 24 inch too small for QHD?
At about 122 pixels per inch, a 24 inch QHD panel is sharper than a 27 inch QHD panel at about 109. Many competitive players prefer 24 inch because the whole screen is easier to scan without moving the eyes much. Some find text small at default scaling. If you sit more than about 70 cm from the screen, you may prefer 27 inches.
