ThundeRobot JQ24F260L-GT monitor launches with 2K 260Hz panel for around $165

ThundeRobot has released the Black Warrior JQ24F260L-GT, a 23.8-inch gaming monitor that targets budget-conscious players who want high refresh rates without breaking the bank. The display ships with a 260Hz panel and a 2560×1440 resolution, which offers a sharper image than the standard 1080p panels found in this price bracket. We see this as a practical option for readers who need smooth motion clarity but cannot justify the cost of premium 4K displays.

Budget 2K 260Hz display adds hardware eye care and full-motion stand

The monitor uses a Fast IPS panel that delivers a 1ms gray-to-gray response time and a peak brightness of 450 nits. It covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space and 99% of the sRGB gamut, supporting 10-bit color depth through 8-bit plus FRC technology. These specifications ensure that fast-paced games look crisp and colors remain accurate for both gaming and general media consumption.

Specifications

• Panel Size: 23.8 inches
• Resolution: 2560×1440 (2K)
• Refresh Rate: 260Hz
• Panel Type: Fast IPS
• Price: 1110 CNY (around $165)

ThundeRobot added hardware circular polarization eye care to this model, a feature designed to reduce visual fatigue during long sessions. The display also includes a full-motion stand that allows for height, tilt, and swivel adjustments, along with VESA 100x100mm mounting compatibility. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a 3.5mm audio jack for standard peripheral connections.

This release updates the previous JQ24F260L model by adding the eye care technology and the improved stand mechanism. We previously tracked a ViewSonic Launches 23.8-Inch QHD Gaming Monitor with similar 260Hz specs, but ThundeRobot differentiates itself with these specific ergonomic and health-focused upgrades. The new features make this a more versatile choice for users who prioritize comfort alongside performance.

The monitor is available in China with a standard price of 1110 CNY (around $165). Some regions offer a government subsidy that lowers the cost to 999 CNY (around $149). It launched on JD.com on October 9, 2024, providing an immediate option for buyers in the Chinese market looking for affordable high-refresh-rate displays.
