PC Power PCGMX24F165B 23.8 Inch 165Hz IPS Gaming Monitor

A Closer Look: Why This Monitor Earns a Spot on Your Desk

Most budget gaming monitors force a trade-off — you either get a high refresh rate on a washed-out TN panel, or decent color on a screen that can't keep up with your reflexes. The PC Power PCGMX24F165B 23.8 Inch 165Hz IPS Gaming Monitor is one of the few displays in its class that doesn't ask you to choose. It pairs an IPS panel — known for wider viewing angles and truer color reproduction — with a 165Hz refresh rate that's typically reserved for pricier VA or TN alternatives.

If you're upgrading from a standard 60Hz or 75Hz office monitor, the jump is immediately noticeable the first time you drag a window or flick your mouse in an FPS lobby. Motion feels smoother, ghosting is minimal thanks to the 5ms (GTG) response time, and fast-moving on-screen elements stay sharp instead of blurring into a smear.

Who Should Buy the PC Power PCGMX24F165B?

This monitor is ideal for esports gamers, students building their first gaming setup, streamers on a budget, and everyday users who want a noticeably smoother screen for both work and play.

• Competitive & casual gamers — the 165Hz panel gives a real edge in reaction-based games such as Valorant, CS-style shooters, and racing titles.
• Students & first-time PC builders — an affordable entry point into high-refresh-rate gaming without needing a premium GPU to notice the benefit.
• Content consumers & multitaskers — the IPS panel's color accuracy and wide viewing angle make it comfortable for video, browsing, and office work too.
• Eye-comfort-conscious users — Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free technology reduce eye strain during long gaming or work sessions.

Core Features That Define the Gaming Experience

165Hz Refresh Rate

A 165Hz refresh rate means the screen redraws up to 165 times per second — nearly triple a standard 60Hz monitor — resulting in noticeably smoother motion and reduced input lag during fast gameplay. For genres like shooters and racing games, this translates directly into quicker visual feedback between your action and what appears on screen.

IPS Panel Technology

The IPS panel on the PCGMX24F165B delivers consistent color and contrast even when viewed from an angle, unlike TN panels that wash out off-center. This matters if you game with friends nearby, stream with a second monitor angled to the side, or simply want accurate colors for editing and browsing.

5ms (GTG) Response Time

Fast pixel transitions keep motion trails and ghosting to a minimum, which is critical when tracking fast-moving targets or scrolling through quick camera pans.

Full HD (1920x1080) Resolution

A sharp, detailed 1080p image that's also easier to drive at high frame rates on mid-range and entry-level graphics cards — meaning you don't need a top-tier GPU to actually hit 165fps.

Low Blue Light & Flicker-Free Display

Reduces harmful blue light emission and eliminates screen flicker, making extended gaming or work sessions gentler on your eyes.

Adaptive Sync Support

Helps synchronize the monitor's refresh rate with your GPU's frame output, cutting down on screen tearing during variable frame-rate gameplay.

Built-In Phone Holder

A small but genuinely practical touch — a phone mount built into the stand, keeping your second screen or notifications within eye line without extra desk clutter.

Dual Connectivity: HDMI + DisplayPort

Connect a gaming PC, laptop, or console with flexible port options, making it easy to switch between devices or upgrade your rig later without connectivity headaches.

How Does It Compare to Standard 144Hz Monitors?

The PCGMX24F165B outperforms typical 144Hz gaming monitors by offering 21 extra hertz of refresh rate, which sharpens fast motion slightly further while keeping the same IPS color quality and Full HD resolution. If your budget or use-case leans toward everyday competitive gaming without needing 240Hz+ territory, this model sits at a practical sweet spot — smoother than 144Hz options, but without the premium cost jump of higher-tier panels. For buyers who want to compare directly, CSI also stocks the PC Power 23.8 Inch FHD 144Hz Gaming Monitor as a slightly more budget-friendly alternative in the same screen size.

Getting the Most Out of Your 165Hz Setup

To actually experience 165fps gameplay, three things need to align: your graphics card must be capable of rendering close to that frame rate in your chosen game, your cable connection (HDMI or DisplayPort) must support the bandwidth, and the refresh rate must be manually selected in your display settings — most systems default to 60Hz even when a higher-refresh monitor is connected. Once configured, the difference in fluidity is immediate, particularly in fast camera-pan or aim-heavy scenarios.
