Description

You can play games in QHD quality with the AOC Q24G2A/BK. On this 24-inch 165Hz QHD gaming monitor, you can see every detail almost twice as sharp as on Full HD. Thanks to the 165Hz refresh rate, all of your games run smoothly and you can spot opponents faster than they see you. The 1ms response time prevents ghosting, so you're always slightly faster than your opponent. In addition, the monitor has FreeSync, so you can synchronize an AMD video card with the monitor. This way, you prevent screen tear while you game. Are you more of a console gamer? No worries, via the HDMI 2.0 port you connect a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X I S and game at 120Hz in Full HD. The Xbox Series X or S is also suitable for QHD gaming at 120Hz. This AOC monitor also includes the own 6 Games Mode technology. This gives you 6 pre-installed settings for first person shooters and racing games, among other things. This means you can get started right away when you change games. Starting a long gaming session? Tilt, rotate, or adjust the monitor in height and set up a comfortable sitting position. This way, you sit comfortably in front of the screen and you prevent neck and back problems.

Best monitor for this money

  • 165hz / Smooth image
  • G sync / Adaptive sync
  • IPS / Beautiful colors
  • Red accents in the design

I've had this monitor for a while now and I must say I'm pretty happy with it. I think this is really one of the better monitors you can find in this price range. The reason why I would recommend this monitor is the combination of 1440p, 165hz, IPS panel and G-sync. Thanks to the 1440p resolution, the screen is nice and sharp and you can see more compared to a 1080p screen. Many other monitors have a VA panel which can cause ghosting, I have not had any problems with this IPS panel, the colors are also very good. Thanks to G-sync, I no longer suffer from screen tearing and the 165hz is really a big difference if you come from a 60hz monitor, it all feels very smooth. The height-adjustable stand is also a nice touch, I no longer have to place a monitor stand under my monitor. Small tip if you notice that you still have stutters while gaming, my mouse had a polling rate that was too low and was therefore not fast enough for this screen, you actually want a polling rate that is higher than the refresh rate of your screen. A faster mouse solved this. You can search online for 'online polling rate test' to test how fast your mouse is.

Price-quality is great

  • no 4k but very clear and sharp image
  • many options in display settings (e.g. color and timer)
  • smooth and fast image
  • design is really intended for gamers

The screen provides a nice and fast image. It is really intended for games and that is really reflected in the specs and appearance. The latter may be a matter of taste. I would have preferred to see a black version of AOC, but the red certainly has something to offer. The image is super smooth and fast and has a pleasant and clear menu in which you can adjust various components as desired. From settings to your colors and brightness, to game settings. A nice one that I gratefully use is the timer. Not everyone will appreciate that, but I do like that short reminder that I have already been busy for an hour (or more). It doesn't stay on the screen for long, but it's enough for me to glance at the clock. The sharpness of the image is also top notch. Very pleasant to look at for longer. The colors are also beautifully displayed. I wanted something more than the standard, but I didn't need 4k. I thought that was a bit exaggerated in terms of price. That screen is really great, especially when you look at the price. The screen is slightly smaller compared to other gaming screens, but for me this is exactly the size I was looking for. I use the screen together with my gaming laptop. So this screen is my main screen and works well with my laptop screen.

QHD, 24 inches, 144hz, one of a kind!

  • Great image
  • I.c.m. the Xbox series S smooth gameplay 120 fps
  • Nice compact design
  • Too few connections

A beautiful gaming monitor! QHD on such a small screen (big enough for me btw) 144 hertz! I use it on a desk for my Xbox series S and can only say that it is a very good match. Beautiful gameplay with beautiful graphics and very smooth and fast images due to the 120 fps in variable refresh rate (this is due to the Freesync support). Would have liked to see more connections such as an extra HDMI connection (for my older consoles that I still have) or a USB connection, but these are missing. But for this price I couldn't pass up this beautiful screen.
