Main characteristics of the AOC 24G2
The AOC 24G2 monitor has a 24 inch 1920×1080 IPS display with a 144Hz refresh rate plus 1ms response time. This makes the 24G2 the perfect match for any type of quick action games and competitive gameplay. AOC also includes FreeSync support with the 24G2. This IPS panel is also extremely color accurate, a necessity for creative professionals and anyone who appreciates color precision. AOC 24G2 covers 126% of the sRGB color gamut.
The screen has extremely small side and top bezels, whilst the bottom one is bigger and includes the company’s logo. This does not disturb gameplay in any way but it definitely ruins the monitors aesthetic.
The 24G2 also includes a completely height adjustable stand, to pivot, swivel and tilt the monitor to your own preference. VISA compatibility is also included, perfect for maximizing desk space.
Ports of the AOC 24G2
IO for this gaming monitor includes one DisplayPort, two HDMI 1.4 and one VGA. AOC includes one HDMI cable and one DP with the monitor. The inclusion of two HDMI ports instead of just one is perfect to connect several devices, which might include a PC and two consoles. The only downside is the lack of USB Type C for future proofing this monitor.
Best gaming monitor ? Not at the moment
Although the AOC 24G2 is a great gaming monitor, it is not currently the best one. Our top pick goes to the ViewSonic VX2458. This is only due to the lower price point, as both monitor have almost identical features.
Moreover, several people have complained about quality control problems with AOC and in particular with this monitor. Dead pixels also seem to be a recurring issue. I would suggest reading all of the extensive problems review in Amazon for the AOC 24G2.
The perfect addition to your AOC 24G2 is the Computer ScreenLight. Perfect for those that work long sessions and require optimal light to maintain productivity or enhance gaming performance.
