[Short Version]
Original Fast IPS module, wide color gamut, liftable rotary bracket, the best available response time within 4ms, hardware low blue light, pinch these elements together, make a display, guess how much it sells?¥599!(Double 12 promotional price is even as low as ¥539) It is no exaggeration to say that the new version of Corey X41, which has completed the upgrade butterfly change, has become the uncrowned king of the price with absolute crushing momentum. That strong comprehensive product power makes other competitors shy away,Looking at it, there is no monitor at the same price that can play a few tricks with it,It can be called the biggest surprise in the entry-level display in the second half of this year。
【Full Version】
Corey X41At the beginning of the market, the robot cat gave it a detailed graphic evaluation and video evaluation, and pointed out in the evaluation that although the mold is good, the rotating bracket is a plus, but there are also two major shortcomings of low brightness and not fast enough response time, which will also make it a constraint, becoming the "most cost-effective" entry-level e-sports monitor on the road.
Unexpectedly,This suggestion Corey actually listened,Released less than half a year,The new version of X41 was born,Powerful upgrades from the driver board and backlight,Make up for the last two shortcomings in one fell swoop,Completely full of blood!Today, let's take a look at the actual performance of this new machine。
【Appearance and Analysis】
The new version of the Corey X41 and the old version have not changed in the appearance mold, so it is just a simple re-look.
▲The front part is a very standard three-sided narrow bezel design, and the bottom edge is slightly wider. The 23.8-inch size, with a black flat V-shaped base, has a small footprint, fits the dorm room desktop, and supports a diagonal keyboard and mouse. The whole machine is made of engineering plastics, and the back is slightly shaped to highlight the characteristics of e-sports. I don't think there's anything wrong with a mid-to-high score for the overall design.
▲The new version of Corey X41 has received a small upgrade in the IO interface. The solution still maintains HDMI X2+DP X1, but the DP interface protocol is upgraded from the original 1.2 to 1.4. Although there is no difference between DP1.2 and 1.4 when used for a 1080P 180Hz monitor, this intention is still good.
In general, the appearance mold of Corey X41 is of excellent quality at the price of 599, the materials are solid, the feel is acceptable, and the stability of the bracket and base is good, which is worth a thumbs up.
【Bracket Function】
600 yuan below the e-sports monitor,Most products are only given garbage brackets without adjustment functions for cost considerations,Even if users are dissatisfied,Because of the shyness in the pocket, they choose to endure silently。
▲The reason why Corey X41 can stand out is precisely because it has an open pattern and gives a liftable rotating bracket that others can't give. Such a core selling point, the new version of X41 is of course firmly retained.
▲It can freely adjust up and down, front and rear tilt and 90° vertical screen and other operations, although it is a pity to have less horizontal rotation, but compared with other products at the same price, it has been greatly improved. In fact, as long as the lifting function is retained, the user's experience will be significantly improved!
[Count Analysis]
The new version of Corey X41 has been slightly strengthened in terms of specifications, and the refresh rate has been upgraded from the original 165Hz to 180Hz, and the refresh rate of the 15hz is also very good.
▲It uses a 23.8-inch Fast IPS panel, with 1080P resolution + 180Hz refresh rate parameters, which can meet the performance requirements of most e-sports games and stand-alone games.
▲After using the DP cable that comes standard in the accessory to link the DP interface, you can easily turn on the full blood output of 1080P+180Hz+8jitter 10bit. It should be pointed out here in particular,CoriX41The e-commerce page is written in huge letters"support1680000000 colors",In fact, this is wrong,Because 16.8 million colors are equal to8bit color depth,And 10bit color depth is to support107000000000000 colors!
And I'm afraid that the manufacturer will play a slippery head, and what I do is 10bit input instead of 10bit output, so I verified the grayscale map after turning on 10bit, it is indeed a 10bit output, no problem!
At the same time, its nominal color range should not be underestimated, DCI-P3 color gamut can reach more than 90%, has crossed the threshold of wide color gamut, can bring more vivid and vivid color performance. At a price of more than 600 yuan, such a parameter can be given, and the cost performance is indeed very high.
▲After entering the engineering mode,You can clearly see that the panel used by this monitor comes from Huike's SN238CS04-1 V1.3,Compared with the old X41V1.1 version used,The biggest difference is that it now has a native refresh rate180Hz,No need to overclock to be more stable。
As a sub-brand and son of Huike Group, it is normal for Kerui to use its own panels. The first can give better quality and higher labeling panels, and the second can better control the cost, after all, upstairs and downstairs, logistics costs are all saved, which is also the secret of the high cost performance of Cori's products.
【Screen Shot】
The following screen shots are straight out with a Canon R6 camera, and only the images are scaled down without any post-processing.
Comments:The screen display effect of this monitor is excellent,The look and feel is soft,The picture is clear,The color is also very bright(Support wide color gamut color display),The feeling of low brightness of the old model has disappeared now,It looks very transparent。 Because it supports 10-bit grayscale output, it does a good job in terms of color transitions, and the sky and clouds in the picture are naturally connected without faults, which is a hard-hit area for other competitors in the same price range. In terms of contrast, it looks good, and the dark parts can be blacked out, and there is no graying.
【Viewing Angle】
▲The viewing angle is the strong point of the IPS panel, and there is no problem with this display test, no matter which side angle you look at, you don't find a significant decrease in brightness or color deviation.
【OSD Menu】
Not surprisingly,The OSD control method of this monitor returns to the most primitive pot buttons,The feel is definitely not as good as the joystick,But for the sake of the price,Choose to forgive it。
▲Coritech's OSD menu function is still very easy to use,There are many column options,The most commonly used game assistance for gaming monitors、Dark enhancement and other functions are readily available,It also supports sRGB and DCI P3Color gamut switching function,It is worth praise。
【Response speed】
The new version of CoriX41 has been significantly enhanced in terms of response speed, whether it is compared with the old self or other competitors at the same price, there is a large advantage range.
▲The OD acceleration option on response time in its OSD menu is divided into three levels, and the default is normal mode.
Their responsiveness tests in their respective gears are as follows:
▲The best OD gear of this display is the fast gear in the middle,The response time is shortened to 3.7ms,Compared with other competing products at the same price, most of them are still between 4.5-5ms,The new version of KeruiX41The performance is very good,Especially considering the positioning of its entry-level e-sports monitor,It is a big thumbs up;The highest gradeOD is needless to say,The overshoot rate is too high,No practicability to look at it。
According to my evaluation criteria,The best response speed of the new version of KeruiX41 has jumped up to the T1echelon of e-sports monitors,in600Among the products within the price of yuan,It is indisputableNo.1,This shows that the potential of Huike panel is not worse than BOEBOE's panel,It still depends on the tuning skills。
【Eye Protection Function】
▲Corey X41 is DC dimming method at full brightness, there is no risk of flicker, and it is a real flicker-free screen.
▲Through the spectrometer scanning, we can happily find that this new panel of Huike also comes with the characteristics of low blue light of hardware. The measured amount of harmful blue light in the wavelength range of 415-455nm accounts for only 47% of all blue light bands, which is lower than the limit threshold of the low blue light standard (50%). Therefore, it can be considered that the Corey X41 monitor has certain hardware low blue light characteristics, coupled with the protection of the flicker-free screen, the two-pronged approach is of great benefit to those users who are keen to play games for a long time, and it can play a significant role in eye protection. 600 yuan price point of the gaming monitor with hardware low blue light?
【Performance measurement】
The instruments used in display performance testing are still familiar to a few old guys, from Delta's SpyderX Red Spider color calibrator, industrial photometer and spectrometer.
1. Color gamut coverage
▲Coritech's new X41Compared with the old model,There has also been a little improvement in the color gamut,The measured color gamut has reached99%sRGB+91% AdobeRGB+93% DCI-P3Color gamut coverage,It is an out-and-out wide color gamut display。 The monitor itself doesn't have any oversaturation symptoms, and it's not designed for design purposes, so there's no point in switching the sRGB color gamut, so it's recommended not to touch it if it's okay.
2. Tonal curves
▲The measured gamma value is 2.2, which is exactly the same as the standard curve, and it is perfectly done.
3. Color temperature
▲The color temperature of the screen is maintained at around 6750K under the default settings, and there is no obvious yellowing, which looks relatively comfortable.
4. Brightness and contrast
▲The enhancement of backlight brightness is another important upgrade of the new Corey X41. The maximum brightness of SDR can now reach more than 320nit, which directly makes up for the biggest shortcoming, reaching above the average line of entry-level displays, and the contrast ratio at this time is 1350:1, far exceeding the average value of IPS panels, and the performance is extremely good.
5. Backlight uniformity
▲The maximum brightness deviation of the backlight of my monitor is located in the lower middle part of the screen, and the deviation value is about 14%, which is an ordinary level in a gaming monitor.
6. Color accuracy
▲The color accuracy of this display is excellent!It should have undergone precise factory color calibration,The average chromatic difference measured downΔE=1.49,The maximum deviation is only2.99,It belongs to the better gear in the gaming monitor。 Now more and more gaming monitors will be equipped with factory color calibration as standard, which is also the result of the market environment involution caused by each other, which is very happy for our users.
Summary:Corey new X41The comprehensive performance has been measured and found to have improved a lot,Not only is the color quite good,The brightness has also been significantly improved,Overall, I can't find any major faults,Very bucket。
【Game Experience】
Of course, the gaming monitor is to be used for gaming, and whether the gaming experience is good or not directly determines whether this machine is worth recommending.
I tried CSGO, one of the most demanding games in FPS esports games, and it was pretty cool.
▲The feeling of playing FPS e-sports games such as CSGO with this monitor is very smooth,180HzThe high refresh rate can bring players a silky experience like Dove,And the faster response speed allows players to calmly cope with the fierce picture changes in the game,The drag is also difficult to see,The picture can always remain clear and stable,The experience of e-sports games can be said to be immediate。
