AOC C24G1A 24 Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor, FHD 1920x1080, 1500R, VA, 1ms MPRT, 165Hz (144Hz supported), FreeSync Premium, Height adjustable Black

When I built my current desktop gmain systemback in 2020, I decided to upgrade my monitor too. I was going to share the montor with my work laptop too, and I wanted plenty of room and legibility for expansive spreadsheets. I also wanted a decent refresh for gaming. This monitor hit my sweet-spot of price and performance. In 2023, I bought a second one to upgrade my second screen as well.

I personally love this monitor the curve just the right amount and the picture quality is amazing on it as well and it was super easy to set up and all the material is pretty durable too. Very satisfied with this product and would highly recommend it for gaming

A great monitor for its price, would highly recommend to everyone. However, it is important to note that because of the VA panel there is slight ghosting. Not a huge issue as you can tweak some settings to lessen it, but still noticeable in fast paced FPS games.

This is a fantastic monitor for the price! And honestly, its competitive with monitors that cost double the price. People often overlook VA panels because VAs just have a general bad rap. I dont know where it comes from, but the stereotype that you need IPS is mostly false. IPS does have the best color accuracy, but unless your doing photo/video work that demands perfect colors, a VA will do great. The colors are vivid and accurate, and the viewing angles are good too. Unless youre gaming at a 70 degree angle from the front of your screen you will never have issues. Also, monitor preference is very subjective. While some people may prefer the faster technology of IPS (which can mean less ghosting), many others (myself included) care more about the superb contrast ratios provided by VA. For one, I have yet to encounter ghosting issues on my display. But also, this VA literally has a 4X better contrast ratio than the average IPS. I played on IPS for years and I always hated how every black color was just turned into a grayish blob. Now I can see different levels of darkness in full detail. Nighttime levels in games are playable and enjoyable now! So for half the price, you can get a 144hz 1440p monitor that rivals $500 dollar IPS options. Its a no-brainer. To top it off, the packaging is superb. When I opened it I was not concerned at all about potential damage. And it has zero dead pixels. The only con I have to mention concerns g-sync compatibility. This monitor is not on the official Nvidia list of compatible monitors. However, when you go into the Nvidia control panel to set it up, it indicates that the monitor is, in fact, compatible. The g-sync works well, and I was amazed by the buttery smooth feel I got even at frames well below 100. Now heres the downside. Apparently there is a strange but replicated bug when you have this monitor plus a 1000 series Nvidia gpu. IF and ONLY IF you turn on g-sync, and your frames drop under 100, the screen will randomly lose display for a second before coming back as normal. I found a reviewer that discussed this issue and they found it persisted across several of these monitors and when trying different cables. https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-cq27g2u-cq27g2/ It doesnt happen if you stay over 100 fps. It happens rarely (once per hour) between 100-80 fps. And it happens more frequently (once every 20-30 minutes) under 80 fps. The times are not consistent those are just my rough estimates based on usage. If you turn g-sync off this doesnt happen at all. Also, it has been reported that this issue doesnt appear of you have a 2000 series gpu. Honestly, I still leave it on most of the time, because Im willing to lose display for a second or two per hour in exchange for buttery smooth goodness the rest of the time. However it is disappointing that the issue exists at all.

Es un buen monitor para juegos, en especial por su tasa de refresco, pero en 1080 navegando, parece que las letras tienen sombreado.

I LIKE THIS MONITOR THE PICTURE IS GOOD BUT THERE WAS LITTLE THINGS I HAD ISSUES WITH LIKE THE SCREWS FOR VESA MOUNTING ARE TOO SHORT TO USE REALISTICALLY WITH A MONITOR ARM AND THE POWER CORD IS REALLY SHORT

Update #2 : Just bought myself a second AOC monitor, this time the 34 ultra wide 2k 144mhz. A very good monitor for gaming! So far Im liking this monitor a good deal. Its what Id expect. There is definitely better but absolutely nothing wrong with this one for the price point. You definitely want to have g-sync/adaptive sync off though. If youre getting this for that, then look elsewhere. But honestly both those features are pretty irrelevant IMO. Ive tested numerous gaming monitors from cheap to rich pig expensive and not one time was I ever like oh wow! That g-sync really made my experience better! In this monitors case, I find that it reduces performance while not improving picture quality much. Other than that its great.... no dead pixels, only slight ghosting on black screens, pixel response time is fast enough (again, as long as g-sync/adaptive sync are both turned off). Brightness is more than satisfactory for any room that isnt quite literally a room surrounded by glass windows. (outdoor use in the sun would be a bit rough, but who does that?) I have two primary complaints : 1) The curvature pretty much does nothing, as it is too slight for a monitor 27 or larger (i got the 27 here). Might be ok for a 24 or smaller. 2) Every single cable it came with was DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Even the power cord! This is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Luckily I had higher quality versions already available to me. Id recommend this to any gamer who isnt a top tier e-sports player and wants to spend a reasonable (as opposed to excessive) amount of money on a good monitor. I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone who thinks g-sync and adaptive sync are essential to their gaming. Obviously considering my cable issues, Id also recommend you purchase your own ahead of time.

I like this monitor a lot since I jumped from 60hz to 144hz. Overall if you are looking for something that is overall good but not the best monitor and trying to save a bit of money. Then this is the monitor to go. The 2 issues I have with this monitor is the dead pixel I have on the bottom left of the monitor. Even though it is small and unnoticeable, you can not unsee it. I am currently working to get a replacement for the monitor because I really like it a lot and want to game with it more. Another issue I have with the monitor is that it looks hella washed out, so please do play with the settings on it because there is no other way. Also for people experiencing ghosting on the monitor the settings, I say to change is to set your [gamma to 2] [shadow control to 60] and [overdrive to medium], and to avoid the washed-out weird color contrast I put the color temp to normal. I really hope this helps people who are experiencing ghosting with their monitors I will update on how the process will go on getting the new monitor (:

This product when I recieved it, said it was 165hz... After adjusting the properties on the pc, the highest setting was only 144hz... There also wasnt any instructions on how to adjust the hz itself on the moniters settings as well. But it is a good monitor and affordable... it isnt 165hz like it says it is.

Yes, I know I could have maybe spent a bit more on a way better monitor, but I have really enjoyed this one so far and I consider my money spent on a good item
