Note that the ‘Overdrive’ setting can be adjusted under MBR. However; ‘Strong’ is the only usable setting. The others are simply too slow and increase trailing and strobe crosstalk significantly without providing any benefits – we just focus on the ‘Strong’ setting here. Also be aware that setting the ‘Overdrive’ to ‘Boost’ is equivalent to using the ‘Strong’ setting and setting ‘MBR’ to ‘20’. We test MBR ‘15’ here as well, as we consider it to give a good mixture of brightness and clarity. The brightness was ~160 cd/m² at 144Hz, which is similar to what we target for our ‘Test Settings’ with MBR disabled.
The table below shows white point and gamma readings taken using a Datacolor SpyderX Elite colorimeter, using various OSD settings, alongside general observations on the image. Our test system runs Windows 10 and an Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti connected via the supplied DP cable. Additional testing was performed using an AMD Radeon RX 580 and using HDMI, although observations for this table didn’t vary significantly between GPUs or inputs. No additional monitor drivers or ICC profiles were specifically loaded for testing purposes and the monitor was left to run for over 2 hours before observations and readings were taken for the below table. Aside from for our ‘Test Settings’, where various adjustments were made, assume factory defaults were used. The refresh rate was set to 144Hz in Windows, although this didn’t significantly affect the values or observations on this table. When viewing the figures in this table, note that for most PC users ‘6500K’ for white point and ‘2.2’ for gamma are good targets to aim for. Individual targets depend on individual uses, tastes and the lighting environment, however. IPS Glow, Yes, it is there. My picture is captured at 100 contrast and 100 brightness on monitor and captured using night mode enabled phone. As shown above, the monitor uses the standard RGB (Red, Green and Blue) stripe subpixel layout. This is the default expected by modern operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS. 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. You may still wish to run through the ClearType wizard and adjust according to preferences, however. The subpixel layout and arrangement is normal and we had no subpixel-related concerns related to sharpness or text clarity on this model. Edit 03.05.2023 : After using it 4 months and comparing with LG24GN650/BENQ EX2510S/ViewSonic XG2405 I can say its a Very good budget oriented monitor if you slightly tweak it. There is some eye strain issue which is caused by 3 things. 1) Overdrive (Make it off) 2) Gsync (Turn off) Freesync (Turn off too) and slightly reduce the contrast or the Blue color by 1 or 2.
Buy it with
Hz Refresh rate and 1ms response time: With a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, your display will be equipped to perform at the pro gaming standard. The original AOC 24G2, reviewed in this article, used the PANDA LC238LF1F panel. Even though it has a specified brightness of 250-nits and contrast ratio of 1,000:1, many reviewers were getting results closer to 350-nits and 1,500:1. This really makes contrast auto adjust and dark scenes much better and colors output is pretty decent.
There’s also the newer AOC 24G2SP version with a slightly higher brightness and faster refresh rate. The image below is a macro photograph taken on Notepad with ClearType disabled. The letters ‘PCM’ are typed out to help highlight any potential text rendering issues related to unusual subpixel structure, whilst the white space more clearly shows the actual subpixel layout alongside a rough indication of screen surface. This model employs a medium matte anti-glare screen surface with a fairly smooth surface texture. The screen surface offers good glare handling, whilst the fairly smooth surface texture prevents an obvious grainy look to lighter shades. There is just a light ‘misty’ graininess, no ‘smeary’ graininess nor a sandy appearance. This provides a somewhat smoother appearance to lighter shades than offered by competing TN models. The screen surface isn’t quite as ‘light’ or low haze as on competing VA models such as the C24G1. Contrast was the main strength of the older C24G1. Whilst contrast on this model was not as strong, it was very impressive for its panel type. Delivering static contrast that was roughly one and a half times the specified value and delivering slightly less ‘IPS glow’ than average for the screen size and panel type. The ‘IPS glow’ was still a feature, though, and contrast in general is certainly an area in general where VA models are worthy of more praise than IPS-type panels. The colour reproduction in this model was really where this model came into its own. 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. Not up there with the strongest IPS-type performers, but noticeably more consistent than VA or TN models. After some minor tweaking, things were nicely balanced – with the generous colour gamut and consistent output of the IPS-type panel providing a vibrancy and richness throughout the screen than competing TN and VA models simply can’t match. And indeed, the generous colour gamut is something which sets it apart from more expensive IPS-type competitors using the 24.5” AU Optronics panel, including the Acer XV253QP and ASUS VG259Q.Other useful features include a low-blue light mode (with four different intensity presets), Frame Counter, Low Input Lag Mode, three gamma presets, three pre-calibrated picture presets (FPS, RTS, and Racing) as well as three fully customizable picture profiles. Design & Connectivity The reason this monitor gives eye strain because of above 3 things. if you follow this i am sure you wont get this ever. Reason saying its a good monitor because i have tested other monitors too. Here for this monitor the colors are accurate out of the box dont need any tweaking. The text are sharp for Intelligent works, Compact with great ergonomic stand, which i havent found in other same category monitor. A pixel response time of 1ms means speed without the smear for an enhanced experience. Fast-moving action and dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without the effects of ghosting. We also made some observations using the film Star Wars: The Last Jedi. 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. Explosions ripping through space, light sabers lighting up dark interior locations and suchlike. The AOC provided a decent cinematic look to the film overall, with bright elements contrasting well against darker surroundings. Not comparable to models with much stronger contrast (and there’s ‘IPS glow’ in this case as well) but not bad at all for a non-VA LCD panel. The consistent gamma throughout the screen could also be appreciated, avoiding things appearing ‘flooded’ with extra unintended detail peripherally (especially lower down, on TN models) or too well-masked elsewhere (especially higher up, on TN models). Equip yourself with twice the frame rate of other monitors and say goodbye to image stuttering and blurry motion. With a 144Hz refresh rate every frame is rendered sharply and in smooth succession, so you can line up your shots accurately and appreciate high speed races in all their glory.
Great Deal
