Gamer Gear Done Right – GAEMS M-240 Professional Gaming Monitor Review

<p>When a package arrived on my porch that looked as if it could contain a small army&comma; I was a bit surprised&comma; but intrigued&period; When I opened it&comma; I was pleased to discover a GAEMS M-240 Professional Gaming Monitor&comma; sent to me for a thorough review&period; After digging in and setting up&comma; I found that the monitor is not only larger than life&comma; but packs performance that is more than exceptional to back up its size&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>GAEMS advertises their gaming equipment as &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Professional” for a reason&period; At 24” and 60Hz&comma; the monitor was sure to be impressive&comma; and it didn&&num;8217&semi;t disappoint&period; Opening and sorting the various components proved easy to navigate and simple to set up&period; The included &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;wall mounting option” was especially handy&comma; usable as both a kickstand and a carry handle&comma; strong enough to prop up the &lpar;surprisingly lightweight&rpar; monitor&period; Upon plugging in the display&comma; there was an immediate and notable change from my old&comma; <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;toudi2&period;deviantart&period;com&sol;art&sol;Fallout-RobCo-papercraft-desktop-terminal-376836753" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">pre-war<&sol;a> Dell monitor&period;

power supply&comma; kickstand&comma; HDMI cable&comma; startup guide&comma; and instruction booklet&period; The monitor itself has multiple inputs&comma; with three available HDMI ports – two for input&comma; and one for output&period; It also sports a headphone port&comma; so headphones can be used directly with the monitor&period; Somewhat surprising was the remote control that was included&comma; but it earned its keep while experimenting with the settings of the monitor&period; There are touch-sensitive buttons available for navigating the monitor’s volume&comma; brightness&comma; and other settings&comma; but I found that they weren’t as sensitive as expected&comma; often requiring multiple touches to register&period; The remote came in handy to compensate for this&comma; with all settings available from remote navigation&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;" aligncenter" src&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;i&period;gyazo&period;com&sol;27d07e948fdafe2804e48775e18a45fb&period;png" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"729" height&equals;"408" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The generous 24” display allows for near dual-monitor quality and accessibility when used for normal activity&comma; and goes full HD for gaming&period; My first gaming experiment was playing <em>Fallout&colon; New Vegas<&sol;em> on my PC&comma; and after a little adjusting to accommodate the 1080p screen&comma; I was thoroughly impressed by how crisp the HD appeared&period; Battling a Deathclaw on maxed settings&comma; there was virtually no monitor lag or jog in quality&period; Xbox 360 and PS4 proved no different&comma; with exceptional quality obvious right from startup&period; Many full-screen&comma; max quality battles ensued on each console&comma; in which the M-240 turned out to be the real victor&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The one issue I had with display came directly from my graphics card&period; When first set up&comma; there was a black box around my desktop&comma; as if my computer couldn’t fill the entire screen&period; This was an easy fix &lpar;with help from Google&rpar;&comma; but I was not prepared for anything other than plug and play&comma; and the instruction booklet included wasn’t much help&period; A more in-depth explanation of the monitor’s specs and possible issues may be a nice touch for gamers such as me&comma; who want to know every possible issue and solution&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Before&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"" src&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;i&period;gyazo&period;com&sol;ac0e1d66310fb1688d0dd75d0406325b&period;png" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"453" height&equals;"302" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>After&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;" alignnone" src&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;i&period;gyazo&period;com&sol;f95aa5f89ddd1b91897f4845e4da8b25&period;png" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"432" height&equals;"303" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The included speakers surround the display&comma; adding to the functionality and aesthetics of the monitor&period; My initial out-of-the-box test of the speakers was a hard rock music track with the speakers at 50&percnt; volume&period; The result was a tinny and somewhat empty representation of the song&period; In lowering the volume&comma; the quality improved&comma; but only marginally&period; This is when I discovered that the speakers must be highly customized for any kind of quality sound&period; With a little exploring&comma; I discovered the entirely customizable sound settings&comma; from the bass and balance to the EQ&period; These include settings such as &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;theater&comma;” &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;music&comma;” and &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;personal&comma;” all which greatly improve the quality of the sound&period; Once changed&comma; it performs entirely up to the standard expected from an all-in-one rig&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The M-240 is a beautiful&comma; multi-functional masterpiece of gaming equipment&period; My initial perception was correct&comma; and I remain thoroughly impressed with GAEMS’ creations&period; The M-240 gaming monitor is truly an extraordinary piece of equipment&comma; and a must-have for any gamer in need of portability&comma; quality&comma; or just an excellent monitor&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
