Though white point is slightly lower than factory defaults and blue light output is marginally reduced, this does not have the effect that a Low Blue Light (LBL) setting should. For gamers on a tight budget, it’s the ideal gaming display that many have been waiting for. Image Quality Considering its price, you really can’t go wrong with the AOC 24G2. It offers a smooth gaming experience with gorgeous colors and plenty of useful features. Specifications Screen Size The AOC 24G2SP renders more than 100% sRGB and around 85% DCI-P3, allowing its vibrancy to punch above its price range. It’s not as accurate out of the box as its predecessor with a deltaE average of 1.66, but that’s still very good for a budget gaming model. Most users won’t need to calibrate it since it already looks balanced by default.
At 165Hz with MBR active, above, strobe crosstalk position is similar. It’s also a bit bolder and just below centre it’s almost as bold as the object itself. Some may prefer to run at a lower refresh rate, particularly 120Hz, due to the somewhat fainter strobe crosstalk. Though we found the moderate strobe crosstalk ‘noticeable’ regardless and there are some other factors to consider, as explored shortly. As noted previously and as highlighted in Nvidia Control Panel, this model has been specifically tested and validated as ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ by Nvidia. On our RTX 3090 the experience was very similar to what we described with FreeSync. With the technology getting rid of tearing and stuttering from what would otherwise be frame and refresh rate mismatches, within the VRR range. The floor of operation again seemed to be 55Hz or slightly below. An LFC-like frame to refresh multiplication technology was employed below that to keep tearing and stuttering from frame and refresh rate mismatches at bay. There was again a subtle momentary stuttering as the boundary was crossed, as we observed with our AMD GPU as well. Our suggestions regarding use of VSync also apply, but you’re using Nvidia Control Panel rather than AMD Software to control this. The setting is found in ‘Manage 3D settings’ under ‘Vertical sync’, where the final option (‘Fast’) is equivalent to AMD’s ‘Enhanced Sync’ setting. You’ll also notice ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ listed under ‘Monitor Technology’ in this section, as shown below. Make sure this is selected (it should be if you’ve set everything up correctly in ‘Set up G-SYNC’.
Simply put, some minor motion blur is noticeable in fast-paced games but significantly less than what you might see on VA panels. A decent 165Hz experience with reasonable pixel responsiveness, low input lag and VRR working as expected on both the AMD and Nvidia side Note again that you can use the ‘Frame Counter’ feature in the ‘Game Setting’ section of the OSD to display the current refresh rate of the monitor. This will reflect the frame rate if it’s within the main VRR window of the monitor.
Moderate ‘IPS glow’ (perhaps a touch lower than average), fairly high minimum luminance and no HDR support To learn more about monitors and ensure you’re getting the model most suited for your personal preference, visit our comprehensive and always up-to-date best gaming monitor buyer’s guide. Conclusion Calibrating it reduced the deltaE average to 0.89 which is even better than the default setting. The downside is you are going to need a colorimeter to guide you and get this kind of improvement. The gadget itself is more expensive than the monitor, so we don’t recommend getting it for any reason other than using the 24G2SP for editing or content creation. The AOC 24G2 FreeSync range is 48-144Hz, and it works with compatible NVIDIA GPUs without issues as it’s officially certified as ‘G-SYNC Compatible.’Note that the ‘Overdrive’ setting can be adjusted under MBR. Our preference was for ‘Medium’ for similar reasons to with ‘MBR’ disabled and that’s what we use for this analysis. ‘Strong’ didn’t provide a significant improvement in our view but introduced some rather eye-catching bright overshoot in places. ‘Weak’ and ‘Off’ were too slow overall, adding some conventional trailing and ‘strobe crosstalk’. Also be aware that setting the ‘Overdrive’ to ‘Boost’ is equivalent to using the ‘Strong’ setting and setting ‘MBR’ to ‘20’. Moving on, IPS monitors usually have a faster pixel response speed than VA panels, meaning that you won’t get noticeable smearing of dark pixels in fast-moving games. There are two additional models with the ‘U’ suffix: the AOC 24G2U and the AOC 27G2U which feature a quad-USB 3.0 hub and integrated 2W speakers. These are not currently available in the US. You can also find the AOC 24G2E with a tilt-only stand. Most won’t find it difficult to fit this monitor into existing setups since it’s just the right size for most desktops. The base is oversized so it needs almost 9 inches of depth, but that’s okay since it also means that it will be stable. The device when fully assembled only weighs in at 9.37 pounds so it’s portable enough to be brought to LAN parties or moved around. Finally, the 1920×1080 Full HD screen resolution looks decent on the 23.8″ viewable screen of the monitor. You get sharper details and text than you would on a 27″ monitor with the same resolution.
Great Deal
