The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. Peak brightness is the weakest aspect of this display, measuring just 248 cd/m². If you usually use your monitor in the evening or in a room shielded from bright sunlight then it’s sufficiently bright. In a very brightly lit room, however, it can look a little dull. Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen.

Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width In the Luminance menu, you’ll find brightness and contrast along with three gamma presets and the three HDR emulation modes. They don’t support HDR10 signals, but rather, they approximate the look of HDR through gamma manipulation. They also add varying levels of edge enhancement which ultimately reduces perceived resolution. I recommend avoiding them. The CQ32G2S has plenty of native contrast already.Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). If you sit too close to the screen there is a visible reduction in brightness towards the outer corners of the display, but at arm’s length or further, the picture is far more consistent. As this is quite a large 32” monitor, the 1500R curve definitely helps. Having the edges of the screen angled towards you improves the uniformity of colour and brightness stability. The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.

Brightness, contrast and fluidity were all very good without being the very best in class – while serious pro-level gamers will probably want something that goes above and beyond what the AOC CQ32G2SE is able to offer, it's a great curved monitor for the rest of us, with some stand-out specs (like that 165Hz refresh rate). On the whole, it's going to get your games looking great, and at a larger size than many models can offer. And that's it! Don't worry too much about the little message that says 'Selected Display is not validated as G-Sync Compatible'. That's just alerting you that the monitor isn't one of Nvidia's official G-Sync Compatible monitors, so your G-Sync experience may not be the absolute bestest best available.I’m pretty average at competitive shooters, so naturally, I take every advantage I can get. It’s hard to quantify, as sometimes I just have a good day, but I was consistently finding myself making hits and occasionally nailing head-shots on CS:GO. I found the gaming responsiveness felt just as good as many premium gaming monitors I have tried.

The operating altitude shows the maximum admissible altitude, at which the display will function flawlessly. Above this level it might not operate properly and/or might seize to function. Before Nvidia introduced their G-Sync Compatible driver, monitors fell into two categories: Nvidia G-Sync monitors, which required you to own an Nvidia graphics card, and AMD Freesync monitors, which (you guessed it) worked with AMD graphics cards. Now, though, thanks to Nvidia's G-Sync Compatible driver, Nvidia graphics card owners can also buy an AMD Freesync monitor and still take advantage of the screen's variable refresh rate tech. This opens up loads more of today's best gaming monitors for you, too. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

The default colour accuracy is very good out of the box, requiring very little adjustment during calibration. Colour saturation is only average, but the gradients are still very smooth across the whole range. If you prefer a more deeply saturated image, the Game Colour setting does a good job of increasing saturation without overexposing the image and blowing out the colours. Setting Game Colour to 12, colours appear richer and deeper while retaining good balance. It is less natural, but it brings images to life. Gaming monitors can sometimes look a little OTT, but AOC has kept the flourishes subtle. There is a small amount of deep-red trim on the underside of the lower bezel, around the base of the stand, and on the rear of the display, which gives the display a touch of individuality. From the front, your main view is dominated by the large curved screen, flanked by pleasingly small side bezels and a slim lower panel featuring a small AOC logo.

Overview

The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display. Video processing was average for the category. I’ve already noted the overdrive’s undershoot issue. In practice, it isn’t a huge problem but there is room for improvement. Adaptive-Sync worked without issue on both AMD and Nvidia platforms (see FreeSync vs G-Sync to decide which is better). My GeForce RTX 4090-based PC had no problem keeping the frame rate maxed at 165. The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video.
