How these scores work

The Piqelo Score is our published assessment of this exact product, including value. Your search does not change it. The Search Score uses the underlying research, your preferences and comparison with similarly priced products. Value is counted once; budget and required features are hard limits.

Price comparison: $90.00 to $149.98 (±25% of this product’s price). Comparable evidence is limited.

Match evidence or required features still need confirmation.

Exact-model findings and measurements

Trade-off · motion response

RTINGS’ public verdict reports low lag and good overall motion handling at 240Hz, but inverse ghosting at lower refresh rates. Numeric lab results are membership-locked; displayed 0.0 placeholders are not measurements.

Supported finding · console fit

The exact SE2426HGS supports 1080p signals up to 120Hz from PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Its public test verdict reports limited HDR gamut, muted highlights and low contrast without local dimming.

Supported finding · ergonomics

The SE2426HGS stand adjusts for height and tilt but does not swivel. Swivel adjustment belongs to the larger SE2726HGS in the same source's variant table.
