About this deal

And the good news? Gamers on a budget will finally be able to enjoy competitive FPS titles with excellent image quality, but without any prominent motion blur. 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.

IPS glow’ ate away at some detail peripherally and the minimum luminance is quite high, which could be problematic for sensitive usersSimply put, some minor motion blur is noticeable in fast-paced games but significantly less than what you might see on VA panels. Got this for a cheap 1080p build for my son. Can't praise this monitor highly enough - the colours are so rich, and games look absolutely beautiful. I'm pairing this with a mid range 1660 Super, and it's absolutely flying. G-Sync enabled and working with no issues.It actually makes my 27" 1440p 144Hz TN Asus MG278Q look cheap and washed out.Don't let the cheap price tag fool you - this is a very well equipped, good looking monitor, with fantastic performance.

There’s also the newer AOC 24G2SP version with a slightly higher brightness and faster refresh rate. 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. Here’s the deal: when excess light passes through the panel, there is noticeable glowing around the corners of the screen. As above with some gamma curve changes. The average gamma is now ‘2.1’, but the top and bottom of the curve (dark and light shades) sits above and mid-section (medium shades) below this. The overall changes to the image are reasonably subtle. 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).

Results here were variable, with significant deviations recorded towards the right side of the screen. The highest deviation was recorded towards the bottom right (DeltaE 4.3). By eye we could see that this side of the screen and in particular the bottom right corner appeared noticeably cooler (higher colour temperature) than the rest of the screen, when viewing some lighter shades such as white. As with other aspects of uniformity, it’s important to remember that individual units vary and that you can expect deviation beyond the measured points. The average static contrast with only brightness adjusted was 1486:1, which is comfortably beyond the specified 1000:1 and as good as we’ve seen from an IPS-type panel. Whilst this isn’t as high as most VA panels would go, it provides a bit of an edge in depth for dark shades compared to most non-VA LCDs. Relatively strong contrast was maintained for all settings tested in the table, with the lowest value of 1395:1 (‘LowBlue Mode = Reading’) still comfortably exceeding specifications. Under our ‘Test Settings’ we recorded a very respectable 1400:1. The highest white luminance recorded on the table was 356 cd/m², significantly exceeding the specified 250 cd/m², whilst the minimum white luminance recorded was 89 cd/m². This gives a luminance adjustment range of 276 cd/m², although the minimum white luminance achieved (without loss of contrast) will be a bit high for some sensitive users. Note :I tested only for 60 fps games as I have a PS4 ,but 120 fps tests from online testing tools are satisfying enough. 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. Low Input Lag Mode: Unleash your reflexes by switching to the AOC Low Input Lag mode. Forget graphical frills: this mode rewires the monitor in favour of raw response time, giving the ultimate edge in hair trigger stand offs.
