Description
The GIGABYTE GS25F2 stands as a streamlined powerhouse in the 24.5-inch display category, specifically engineered for gamers who prioritize frame rates and motion clarity. By utilizing a Super Speed IPS (SS IPS) panel, it achieves a native 200Hz refresh rate and a 1ms GTG response time, effectively eliminating ghosting and smearing in fast-paced titles. The inclusion of HDR10 and a 120% sRGB color gamut ensures that while speed is the priority, visual depth and color fidelity are not sacrificed, making it a versatile choice for both gaming and media consumption.
This product is for:
- Competitive FPS Gamers: The 200Hz refresh rate provides the sub-millisecond advantages necessary for tracking targets in titles like Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, and Apex Legends.
- Budget-Conscious Enthusiasts: Offers professional-grade speed and IPS color quality at a competitive price point for those upgrading from standard 60Hz or 144Hz screens.
- Console Players: Dual HDMI 2.0 ports allow for seamless connection to modern consoles, supporting high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming.
- Multi-Monitor Users: The slim bezel design and VESA 100x100mm compatibility make it an ideal candidate for side-by-side configurations without significant gaps.
- Home Office Professionals: Built-in 2W speakers and flicker-free technology provide a comfortable solution for users who transition from productivity tasks to evening entertainment.

Operating the GS25F2 reveals the immediate benefits of SS IPS technology, which offers significantly better viewing angles (178°) compared to traditional TN gaming panels. The 300 cd/m² brightness is optimized for indoor environments, and the flicker-free backlight reduces eye strain during extended gaming marathons. Users can access GIGABYTE's tactical features through the OSD, including Black Equalizer for better visibility in dark areas and Aim Stabilizer to reduce motion blur during high-recoil combat scenarios.
Compared to standard 144Hz or 165Hz IPS monitors, the GS25F2 provides a 20-30% increase in frame delivery, resulting in smoother tracking of moving objects. While many budget gaming monitors compromise on color to achieve high speeds, the GS25F2 maintains a wide sRGB gamut, making it more vibrant than TN-based competitors that often suffer from color shifting. It serves as a modern, high-speed alternative to the G24F series, pushing the refresh rate ceiling higher while maintaining the compact 24.5-inch footprint preferred by professional players.
Q&A:
- Does the GS25F2 support 200Hz over HDMI? To achieve the full 200Hz refresh rate, using the DisplayPort 1.4 connection is recommended, as HDMI 2.0 bandwidth may vary depending on the source device settings.
- Is this monitor compatible with VESA mounts? Yes, it features a standard VESA 100x100mm pattern, allowing it to be attached to most third-party monitor arms and wall mounts.
- Does it include built-in speakers? Yes, the monitor is equipped with two 2W speakers, providing convenient audio for system sounds and casual viewing.
- What is the benefit of Super Speed IPS? SS IPS uses thinner liquid crystal layers and higher driving voltages to achieve 1ms GTG response times, offering the speed of TN panels with the superior color and viewing angles of IPS.
- Is the power supply internal? The GS25F2 is designed for efficiency with a typical power consumption of 18W and supports a wide voltage range of AC 100-240V.
