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

So, first thing, I got lucky that I was home sick when this got delivered, because they do NOT do discreet packaging. Not even a little. Its the box the monitor came in with some Amazon tape and a shipping label on it. I snapped it up right when it arrived, but it could EASILY have been stolen, so theres that. On to the actual monitor: Super easy to set up. Im relatively experienced, but even if I werent, it wouldnt have mattered, because the most difficult part was getting through all the packaging to actually get to the pieces. Item arrived with no issues aside from very blatant packaging, and Ive noticed no issues with dead pixels or anything of the like since setting it up. I love the monitor size. It feels like I have a dual monitor setup without having a dual monitor setup. I dont explicitly notice the curve except that overall its very nice to look at. Now onto my one little gripe. Overall, the picture quality isnt very... clear? Images arent very smooth, which isnt a dealbreaker for me, but it is a little sad that I paid so much for a monitor that is actually worse, image-wise, than the monitor I was using before, which was a dell monitor I received for $5 and was about ten years old. Again, this isnt a dealbreaker for me personally, as Im the gaming type that DOESNT stress over every little point of optimization in a gaming setup and am mostly just happy with a setup that plays the games I want to play with a reasonable level of smoothness, but it is slightly disappointing and is the only thing lowering my score of this thing.

Lo ordené para mi hijo y aún está funcionando a la perfeccion!!

Pulled it right out of the box and centered it on my triple monitor stand. Though, after taking a good look at the stand, I can say it was definitely built well. The panel design is absolutely beautiful. At first, I was unsure if I liked the curve, but after a while, it grew on me. Really gives you a feel of quality, if you arent used to it. Kinda like a new car. Setup was a breeze. Freesync came enabled, but the refresh rate will be locked at 60hz until you change it in the advanced display settings in windows. The colors really werent that great out of the box. Fortunately, the user interface on the monitor is very straight forward. After a bit of adjustment, I got the picture I was looking for. I have a 1080p 60hz display that sits next to it. After all the adjustment, it came quite close to the quality, which is pretty good for the panel type. After a bit of playing around and making sure the settings were all functional, I started up a few games. After a short time playing, I quickly noticed it. I was afraid it might happen from all the reviews, but hoped for the best... But to no avail. A dark and very noticeable dead pixel, very close to the center of the screen. Well, it did take a while to notice it. But after seeing it one time, you always see it. And after a while, I started noticing more of them. Right now, I can point out 3 dead pixels. Im willing to bet there is a fourth somewhere, as I havent been looking for very long. So, overall thoughts. I really love the high refresh rate. Im a semi competitive Destiny 2 player, and can definitely make use of the faster response time and added smoothness. Freesync is a huge plus. I have always noticed screen tear and inconsistent frame delivery. This was definitely an upgrade I needed to make. And the price point? I paid $140 for this monitor. Honestly, for the feature set, thats a total steal. The only thing that really urks me is the dead pixel in the center screen... If it were only towards the outside, or maybe a different shade so that it wasnt totally obvious, I would have given this one 5 stars. I will keep it for now. Im even considering ordering two more of them, and putting one without such an obvious dead pixel in the center. For now, I say its worth the purchase.

I bought this monitor in late 2020 for $150, with many worries going through my head. I was worried that the colors would be too washed out, worried that the curve might be too much, worried about the quality of the product, worried about its acclaimed 1ms mprt, and worried if the monitor would come with any dead pixels. I got none of that. What i did get was a big smile across my face. This monitor was probably one of the best purchases and investments Ive made so far. The quality of the product is perfect for the price range its in, it certainly outdoes my Acer SB220Q. Speaking of which, the Acer monitor comes with an ips panel, i was scared that i wouldnt enjoy the VA panel the AOC would come with, but it turned out to be just fine for gaming, movies, and other media. I do frequently use photoshop so the Acers ips panel will still be utilized for that. As for the curve, the curve is just barely noticeable when youre directly in front of the monitor, which is perfect. As for the acclaimed 1ms, its 1ms mprt, but the actual response time is probably 4ms, which is perfectly fine and you shouldnt really worry about a 4ms response time holding you back at all. And as for the people who have received dead pixels on their AOCs, mine arrived with zero dead pixels as advertised, it most likely has to do with whether or not the monitor was damaged during shipping. So should you buy this monitor? If youre looking for a decent 1080p 144hz experience, and dont care about having the best response time in class (which you shouldnt care about in this price range), and do not require an ips panel, this works perfectly. It also runs flawlessly with GSYNC enabled, just be sure to use the included Display port cable and not the HDMI cable to actually utilize GSYNC and the 144hz.

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.

Bought this monitor to accompany my new entry level pc I built. This monitor is great for anyone looking for great performance on a budget! All specs are accurate and the design is sleek and looks great!

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.

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.

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.
