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 images below are pursuit photographs taken using the UFO Motion Test for ghosting, with the test running at its default speed of 960 pixels per second. This is a good practical speed to take such photographs at and highlights both elements of perceived blur well. The UFOs move across the screen from left to right at a frame rate matching the refresh rate of the display. All three rows of the test are analysed to highlight a range of pixel transitions. The monitor was tested at 60Hz (directly below), 120Hz, 144Hz and 165Hz using various ‘Overdrive’ settings; ‘Off’, ‘Weak’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Strong’. The two final columns show reference screens, where possible, set to what we consider their optimal response time setting for a given refresh rate. The AOC 24G2(U), which is the predecessor to this model, and the Acer XB253Q GP which is a fast IPS model tuned for a fluid 144Hz experience. All in all, the AOC 24G2SP is an excellent budget gaming monitor. You get a slightly higher brightness and refresh rate for a minor jump up in the price, so gamers can decide for themselves which model makes more sense for them. Specifications Screen Size The AOC 24G2 is a 24″ 1080p 144Hz IPS gaming monitor with AMD FreeSync, 1ms MPRT, a fully ergonomic design and an affordable price! 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.

Though white point is slightly lower than factory defaults and blue light output is marginally reduced, this does not have the effect that a Low Blue Light (LBL) setting should. The AOC 24G2SP renders more than 100% sRGB and around 85% DCI-P3, allowing its vibrancy to punch above its price range. It’s not as accurate out of the box as its predecessor with a deltaE average of 1.66, but that’s still very good for a budget gaming model. Most users won’t need to calibrate it since it already looks balanced by default. The stand of the monitor is quite sturdy and offers a good range of ergonomics, including up to 130mm height adjustment, +/- 30° swivel, -5°/23° tilt, 90° pivot and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility, while the screen has a matte anti-glare coating against reflections.

Conclusion As expected, there’s some IPS glow, but its intensity will vary from unit to unit and should be manageable in all except for the most extreme cases. As usual, we tested various titles using AMD FreeSync and experienced similar things across all of these. Any issues affecting one title points towards a game or GPU driver issue rather than a monitor issue. For simplicity we’ll just focus on Battlefield titles here which allow the full VRR range to be analysed on our Radeon RX 580. As this isn’t a particularly powerful GPU, there were some dips below 165fps with high graphics settings. Without VRR technologies such as FreeSync, you’d observe tearing (VSync off) or stuttering (VSync on). If you’re sensitive to such things, as we are, having these visual distractions removed can be very welcome. As frame rate dropped there was a loss of ‘connected feel’ and increase in perceived blur due to eye movement. Both are linked to the frame rate, with a high frame rate being favourable for both elements. AOC 24G2SP 24" Frameless Gaming Monitor, IPS Panel, 1920x1080, 1MS, 165HZ, AMD FreeSync Premium, 2xHDMI+VGA+Display Port, 100x100mm VESA, Height & Pivot Adjustable.

Well-priced with decent build quality for a budget offering, good ergonomic flexibility and decent range of OSD adjustments Here’s the deal: when excess light passes through the panel, there is noticeable glowing around the corners of the screen. monitors aren’t popular for their high pixel counts or sharp details, but they are affordable and quite easy to use for everyone. It doesn’t take a lot of GPU horsepower to reach the 165Hz threshold, and it is easy to read, write, and browse since the screen isn’t too sharp. It is also a fact that many individuals are used to the resolution since it’s still commonly used at work or in schools. The full capability of the monitor including 1920 x 1080 (Full HD or 1080p) @165Hz can be leveraged via DisplayPort, whilst HDMI is limited to a maximum of 144Hz on this model. AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia’s ‘G-SYNC Compatible Mode’ is supported on compatible GPUs and systems via suitable versions of DP – HDMI. Compatible Intel graphics hardware can also leverage Adaptive-Sync via DP. Standard accessories include a power cable, HDMI cable and DP cable but may vary regionally. The greyscale gradient appeared smooth without obvious banding or dithering. Close inspection revealed some well-masked temporal dithering.The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by pressable buttons on the underside of the bottom bezel, towards the right side. 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 orange when it enters a low power state. The video below explores this menu system and the accompanying ‘G-Menu’ software which can be used to control it. As noted previously and as highlighted in Nvidia Control Panel, this model has been specifically tested and validated as ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ by Nvidia. On our RTX 3090 the experience was very similar to what we described with FreeSync. With the technology getting rid of tearing and stuttering from what would otherwise be frame and refresh rate mismatches, within the VRR range. The floor of operation again seemed to be 55Hz or slightly below. An LFC-like frame to refresh multiplication technology was employed below that to keep tearing and stuttering from frame and refresh rate mismatches at bay. There was again a subtle momentary stuttering as the boundary was crossed, as we observed with our AMD GPU as well. Our suggestions regarding use of VSync also apply, but you’re using Nvidia Control Panel rather than AMD Software to control this. The setting is found in ‘Manage 3D settings’ under ‘Vertical sync’, where the final option (‘Fast’) is equivalent to AMD’s ‘Enhanced Sync’ setting. You’ll also notice ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ listed under ‘Monitor Technology’ in this section, as shown below. Make sure this is selected (it should be if you’ve set everything up correctly in ‘Set up G-SYNC’.

For gamers on a tight budget, it’s the ideal gaming display that many have been waiting for. Image Quality On various Battlefield titles, at a frame rate keeping up with the 165Hz refresh rate, the monitor provided decent fluidity. Compared to a 60Hz monitor or the AOC running at 60Hz (or 60fps), 2.75 times as much visual information is displayed every second. This significantly enhances the ‘connected feel’, describing the precision and fluidity felt when interacting with your character on the game. The low input lag of the monitor is also beneficial in this respect and complements the high frame and high refresh rate combination nicely. The high frame rate and high refresh rate combination also decreases perceived blur due to eye movement, as demonstrated earlier using Test UFO. As also demonstrated, the bump up from 144Hz to 165Hz is hardly dramatic in that respect – though the extra refresh rate is still a bonus, if you have the frame rate to match. As shown above the standard RGB (Red, Green and Blue) stripe subpixel layout is used. This is the default expected by modern operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. Apple’s MacOS no longer uses subpixel rendering and therefore doesn’t optimise text for one particular subpixel layout to the detriment of another. You needn’t worry about text fringing from non-standard subpixel layouts and won’t need to change the defaults in the ‘ClearType Text Tuner’ 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.

Thoughts on the AOC 24G2SP

A noticeable cool tint, otherwise quite vibrant with oversaturation from the gamut but good gamma handling providing appropriate shade depth. As defaults with a significant boost in gamma. Appears quite ‘contrasty’ and cinematic, with significant crushing together of darker shades in particular.

AOC went with the BOE panel due to panel shortages. Now, they’ve discontinued the models using the BOE panel, and started using the old PANDA panel again. Conclusion 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. Finally, the 1920×1080 Full HD screen resolution looks decent on the 23.8″ viewable screen of the monitor. You get sharper details and text than you would on a 27″ monitor with the same resolution. The Lagom text appeared quite a blended grey throughout the screen, with a dark red striping to the text introduced further down and a bit towards the left side. There were no clear shifts between saturated red, orange and green across the screen or with a bit of head movement. This indicates a relatively low viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, as expected for an IPS-type panel. A decent 165Hz experience with reasonable pixel responsiveness, low input lag and VRR working as expected on both the AMD and Nvidia sideThe bottom line; a capable budget offering with relatively strong contrast for IPS, quite vibrant colour output and decent 165Hz responsiveness. PC Monitors The AOC 24G2SP also has a very high minimum brightness of ~ 100 – 120-nits. So, if you plan on mainly using the screen in a dark room and you prefer low brightness settings, it might be too bright for you even at 0/100 brightness. Most monitors have a minimum brightness of around 30 – 50-nits.
