Press OK, then turn the monitor off then on again so that it re-establishes connection – the technology should now be active. Saturation levels were again somewhat stronger than intended, but this was a universal increase in saturation. It’s by no means badly tuned at higher refresh rates, either – we’d still consider ‘Strong’ as optimal for the higher refresh rates as we explored with pursuit photos earlier. If you select ‘1920 x 1080’ in that list you’ll have access to additional refresh rates, including 144Hz. When using MBR or any strobe backlight feature, it’s essential that your frame rate exactly lines up with the refresh rate of the display.
Shades appeared varied and vibrant, without the shifts in gamma and saturation associated with TN and VA panels. The 24G2U (24G2)’s ‘Strong’ overdrive setting, which we prefer for refresh rates at the top end, still worked well at ~100Hz. We refer to these as ‘interlace pattern artifacts’ but some users refer to them as ‘inversion artifacts’ and others as ‘scan lines’. The AMD FreeSync Premium features a refresh rate of minimum 120Hz, decreasing blur and sharpening the picture for a more life-like experience.It was free from the sort of clear saturation shifts that occur at different sections of the screen for VA and moreover TN models.
The first few blocks blended into the background readily, which is appropriate for a monitor tracking the ‘2. There was noticeable strobe crosstalk, clear repetitions of objects during all but the gentlest turns. All rows of the UFO Motion Test were used, to show a range of pixel transitions between various shades. It was quite well set up out of the box, delivering a punchy and vibrant image with excellent shade variety and fairly strong colour consistency.This effect was extremely subtle and most users will not notice it or find it bothersome if they do. You needn’t worry about text fringing from non-standard subpixel layouts as a Mac user and don’t need to run ClearType as a Windows user. Our observations here apply broadly to lower frame rate and refresh rate combinations (120Hz and 100Hz) and were largely independent of the MBR setting itself. It provided a very competent 144Hz performance, overall, which should keep casual gamers and some competitive gamers happy. But the well-tuned and flexible pixel overdrive gave a suitable option for a broad range of refresh rates.
With every detail brought sharply into focus and every movement shown with crystal clarity, feel your reactions become one with the action and elevate your game. The OSD menu of the monitor is well organized and has all the features and tools you might need, but navigation through it via the four hotkeys, which are located beneath the bottom bezels, isn’t ideal as we’ve grown accustomed to joysticks. The ‘Medium’ setting offers fair improvement and is actually quite well-balanced, but there is a further reduction using the ‘Strong’ setting without any clear overshoot being introduced. There is pronounced strobe crosstalk behind the UFO (and also in front in the case of ‘MBR = 1’ and to a less extent ‘MBR = 15’), however. The image quality of the Full HD model produces high contrast and good brightness while also displaying impressive natural color.AOC's C24G1 is an excellent gaming monitor for those on a budget, but for those of you who prefer flat screens as opposed to curved ones, then the AOC 24G2U is definitely the monitor for you.
This is a title with plenty of high-contrast scenes – or, at least, scenes that show contrasting content and look their cinematic best on models with strong contrast. The C24G1 reference shot shows this to a fair extent behind the UFO body, but much less so behind the main UFO body. We found it accelerated visual fatigue and preferred the normal flicker-free operation of the monitor, but sensitivity to flickering varies. It’s important to bear in mind that individual units vary when it comes to all aspects of uniformity, including backlight bleed and clouding. Not up there with the strongest IPS-type performers, but noticeably more consistent than VA or TN models.
Hz refresh rate is 25% faster than what is offered on most entry level displays at 60 Hz, while still being affordable and delivering those extra frames gamers need to beat their opponents. AOC 24G2U is an impressive budget gaming monitor that’s suitable for all amateur and professional gamers. Sensitivity to tearing and stuttering varies, so when we say obvious we mean to us and other sensitive users, but having FreeSync get rid of such imperfections was very pleasant for us. The Lagom text appeared a blended grey throughout without strong green or red tints to the striping. The extension in the colour gamut comfortably beyond sRGB added a good dose of extra vibrancy and saturation, with this content (as is typical) being created with the sRGB colour space in mind.
