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. 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. Contrast was also decent overall on Shadow of the Tomb Raider. This is a title where dimly lit interior locations, such as small passageways and caves are common. Often lit by a few point sources of light. As such, it looks its best where contrast performance is strong. Whilst the atmosphere the monitor created on this title wasn’t the same as on a VA model with stronger contrast, it was still respectable. The strong static contrast, for the panel type, and the ‘IPS glow’ being slightly more subdued than normal helped in this respect. But the ‘IPS glow’ is certainly still present and affects the dark regions of this title, if viewing in dimmer lighting conditions. There were no clear shifts in gamma as you’d get on VA models and to a greater extent TN models, though, so detail levels (‘IPS glow’ aside) were well-maintained. Brighter shades contrasted well with darker surroundings, whilst the screen surface imparted only a light misty graininess rather than anything more ‘smeary’ or obvious. The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by pressable buttons beneath the right side of the bottom bezel. A small forwards-facing power LED is also included in this region, to the right of the buttons. This glows white when the monitor is on and amber when it enters a low power state (signal to the system is lost). The video below explores this menu system.

The AOC 24G2 monitor is based on an IPS panel by PANDA with wide 178° viewing angles, a 250-nit specified peak brightness (which even gets a bit above 300-nits), a ~1,000:1 static contrast ratio and dithered 8-bit color depth (6-bit + 2-bit FRC), which is indistinguishable from true 8-bit depth in real use. In 2021, some AOC 24G2 monitors used a different BOE MV238FHB-NG0 panel. Its measured peak brightness and contrast ratio are closer to the specified 250-nits and 1,000:1, but it also has a slightly better response time speed and overdrive implementation.Now, this is an entry-level high refresh rate IPS panel display that serves as an alternative to the popular TN and VA models.

The AOC 24G2U's 144 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms MPRT and FreeSync support eliminate stuttering and tearing. Its 23.8" IPS panel with Full HD resolution delivers colour-accurate images. Moving on, IPS monitors usually have a faster pixel response speed than VA panels, meaning that you won’t get noticeable smearing of dark pixels in fast-moving games. Alternatively, you can use AMD FreeSync,which provides a variable refresh rate for compatible graphics cards to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering completely.Note :I tested only for 60 fps games as I have a PS4 ,but 120 fps tests from online testing tools are satisfying enough. The 24G2U also goes one step further than the C24G1 when it comes to ports and inputs, too. You still get the same number of HDMI and DisplayPort connections as the C24G1, but the 24G2U has the all important addition of a 4-port USB3 hub, allowing you to hook up all your other peripherals such as your mouse, keyboard and USB headset as well as charge your phone. For me, that alone makes it worth the teensy bit of extra expense over the C24G1, which doesn't come with any USB ports whatsoever.

The full capability of the monitor including the 1920 x 1080 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate and Adaptive-Sync can be leveraged via either HDMI or DP. Note that Nvidia users with compatible systems can only use Adaptive-Sync (‘G-SYNC Compatible Mode’) via DisplayPort. Standard accessories include a power cable, DP cable and HDMI cable. This may vary regionally. Besides offering the most accurate color reproduction and the widest viewing angles, IPS panels also offer a good balance between TN and VA variants when it comes to overall performance and image quality. Although AOC doesn’t specify the gray-to-gray (GtG) response time speed of the 24G2 display, PANDA states a 7.5ms speed, which AOC managed to get down to ~5ms with the use of overdrive.The monitor has a slight green push by default, but is otherwise nicely balanced. Shades appeared varied and vibrant, without the shifts in gamma and saturation associated with TN and VA panels. Considering its price, you really can’t go wrong with the AOC 24G2. It offers a smooth gaming experience with gorgeous colors and plenty of useful features. Specifications Screen Size

Low input lag, well-tuned pixel overdrive at up to 144Hz and Adaptive-Sync doing its thing on both AMD and Nvidia GPUs to reduce stuttering and tearing 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 object itself now appears with clear internal detailing, particularly for ‘MBR = 15’ and ‘MBR = 20’. Note that the white notches on the UFO body were actually a bit clearer in reality with ‘MBR = 15’ than they appear on the photos – the brightness levels caused them to appear a bit more blended than they should. This indicates excellent low perceived blur due to eye movement. 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 reference shots don’t show this to the same degree, particularly for the S2417DG reference where overshoot is present but the shot is otherwise very ‘clean’ indeed with a very distinct main object. The image set below was taken with a further increase in refresh rate, to 144Hz with MBR active. The bottom line; an accomplished product with vibrant and varied colour output, pleasing contrast and responsiveness for an IPS-type panel and very attractive pricing. Validity : Extended Warranty will start after the Brand warranty ends & continues for 1 or 2 years as per plan. Plans valid only for products with a maximum of 2 years brand warranty. Products with more than 2 years brand warranty are not eligible. What's covered : The plan covers all defects & electric malfunctions as covered under the original Brand warranty.As above but even more effective. Blue light output is significantly reduced, more so if brightness is also lowered. Simply put, some minor motion blur is noticeable in fast-paced games but significantly less than what you might see on VA panels. Average gtg is nearly 6-7ms with medium/strong overdrive, enable it in G-Menu, monitor comes with disabled settings. Best of all, the AOC 24G2 is factory-calibrated at Delta E < 2, which is fit for entry-level color-critical tasks. For professional use, there are better color-critical displays, of course, but for basic content creation, the AOC 24G2 will do just fine. The Full HD resolution is quite limiting in some respects, although a higher resolution would demand a significant price premium and is harder to drive
