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

I just upgraded to this monitor and what a difference. I updated my whole computer 2 years ago but never change the monitor. I saw a huge difference then and I saw another one when I switched to this monitor. Fast response times and great fps. Cant beat this monitor for price.

For starters, the picture quality is awesome, about as good as you can get without starting to waste money. The stand is solid, very easy to adjust and sturdy feeling. Its also easy to assemble. Overall Im very happy with the monitor and I plan on buying a second.

I have been currently using this monitor for the past two and a half months, and my experience with it has been an interesting one. Firstly lets get the specs out of the way. This is one of the cheapest monitors that you can buy that gives you 1440p, 27, 144Hz refresh rate, Adaptive Sync, and 1ms response time. Most other panels of this quality are around $300 minimum, so getting this for $260 is a steal. In addition, the stand for being a budget monitor is fantastic. Giving you both tilt and height adjustment is unheard of at this range. No corners were cut here. The picture quality is fantastic as well. QHD at 27 inches is a treat to look at (I was using a TN 1080p 24 60Hz monitor before). Also the control quality is fantastic as well. AOCs promise of a 3-year zero dead pixel warranty and 1-year accidental damage is extremely generous compared to the rest of the competition. If you do encounter a problem you should not worry about your few hundred dollar investment. Now here are some caveats and issues that I had faced with this monitor in the first month of use. For my PC I am using the AMD RX 5700 graphics card, which has always been prone to driver bugs and issues. During this first month of use, I had times where the monitor would not detect the GPU output and not switch inputs over to the connected HDMI. I would have to reboot the monitor entirely to get it working again. This however has been fixed with the latest AMD Adrenaline driver update. In addition, I had issues with how Adaptive Sync worked with my GPU. The most glaring issue being when I enable a custom GPU fan profile using MSI Afterburner, the monitor would go black for seconds at a time, and would occur every half minute or so. I would need to turn off my custom fan profile and suffer higher GPU temperatures in order to use my monitor. However, the latest AMD GPU driver patch fixed this issue as well. As of now, I have no issues with my PC detecting my monitor or face any strange issues with the display turning on and off. Aside from driver issues, the usual caveats with VA panels apply to this monitor as well. You have great contrast ratio with the better blacks than IPS or TN, but you do suffer from poorer GTG response times. This can lead to black smearing when your game encounters dark environments. I havent noticed this smearing in my own use, however YMMV. Also, the brightness is definitely on the lower side at 250 nits. I would have really appreciated 300 nits minimum. I use this monitor in a dark room so 250 nits is not an issue, but if you use this monitor in a naturally lit environment you may struggle to use this monitor. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this monitor, but my first month and a half of ownership of this monitor could have been smoother. Though this was at the fault of my own hardware and not the monitor. I anticipate anyone with an Nvidia GPU would not have face the same issues as I did. If you have a flat budget of $300, I highly recommend this monitor (if it is ever in stock). Otherwise, I would try to stretch the budget to get a brighter IPS gaming monitor.

Putting it together was no problem and very well made. Although, when I turned it on the display it was pixelated, words on the screen looked bigger and thicker, circles werent circles. The easiest fix was to either turn the monitor off and back on or run Windows ClearType.

For the price of this monitor, I cannot really complain too much. Getting 165hz and AMD freesync is not something I can really complain about. If you play an overall bright game that you could benefit from a higher refresh rate then this is not a bad choice. If you play games that have a higher dynamic range or are on the darker side you would be advised to stay away from this offer. This panel has a high refresh rate and claims a 1ms mprt, but does not do it particularly well. You will notice significant ghosting and smearing of dark objects over lighter backgrounds. At this price I expect that you can find a better deal, that being said this isnt a complete waste.

I have zero complaints at all. Amazing monitor, fast, great colors. Highly recommend! *If anyone is concerned about the curvature, know its very very minor. I like it that way though -- it fits your field of view much better than flat.

This monitor is just perfect in every way for gaming

My son loves video games. He was pretty excited about it. Uses every day, havent had any issues or complaints. He even drags to friends houses.

Things you should know: - This monitor does have great picture quality, if you haven’t move up in resolution or hertz this will be a nice improvement. You will need to adjust brightness settings when you first set it up, but overall it’s got a smooth and clean color scheme. - There is a little bit of screen bleeding around the edges of the monitor (lightness during black screens when the monitor is on) nothing noticeable during games, maybe more so with movies or cinematics. - Sturdy mount with a decent range of motion for adjustments, slim bezels as well, clean look for both the monitor and stand. - Haven’t tested out the speakers out yet, but if you’re using this for gaming you’ll have a headset on the majority of the time. Overall 86/100 Great product, one of the cheapest I’ve seen with this product quality.
