Contrast was the main strength of the older C24G1. Whilst contrast on this model was not as strong, it was very impressive for its panel type. Delivering static contrast that was roughly one and a half times the specified value and delivering slightly less ‘IPS glow’ than average for the screen size and panel type. The ‘IPS glow’ was still a feature, though, and contrast in general is certainly an area in general where VA models are worthy of more praise than IPS-type panels. The colour reproduction in this model was really where this model came into its own. It was quite well set up out of the box, delivering a punchy and vibrant image with excellent shade variety and fairly strong colour consistency. Not up there with the strongest IPS-type performers, but noticeably more consistent than VA or TN models. After some minor tweaking, things were nicely balanced – with the generous colour gamut and consistent output of the IPS-type panel providing a vibrancy and richness throughout the screen than competing TN and VA models simply can’t match. And indeed, the generous colour gamut is something which sets it apart from more expensive IPS-type competitors using the 24.5” AU Optronics panel, including the Acer XV253QP and ASUS VG259Q. 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 AOC 24G2 is a 24″ 1080p 144Hz IPS gaming monitor with AMD FreeSync, 1ms MPRT, a fully ergonomic design and an affordable price! At 60 fps it gives satisfactory (above average)performance,low blur,but you have to set overdrive to medium.
The design of the AOC 24G2 IPS gaming monitor is impressive considering the price. You get full ergonomic support with up to 130mm height adjustment, 90° pivot, +/- 30° swivel, -5°/22° tilt and 100x100mm VESA mount compatibility.As above but even more effective. Blue light output is significantly reduced, more so if brightness is also lowered. 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.
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.
Customer reviews
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). The AOC 24G2 FreeSync range is 48-144Hz, and it works with compatible NVIDIA GPUs without issues as it’s officially certified as ‘G-SYNC Compatible.’
Vibrant and varied colour output straight from the box with a generous colour gamut and fairly strong colour consistency

This really makes contrast auto adjust and dark scenes much better and colors output is pretty decent.
The gamma is now significantly increased, giving a deep ‘cinematic’ look that is inaccurate but that some users may like. This greatly affects dark shades, masking a lot of low-end details. There are two additional models with the ‘U’ suffix: the AOC 24G2U and the AOC 27G2U which feature a quad-USB 3.0 hub and integrated 2W speakers. These are not currently available in the US. You can also find the AOC 24G2E with a tilt-only stand. 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.Pleasing contrast for the panel type and a relatively smooth screen surface finish, delivering a decent atmosphere for darker scenes and fairly smooth-looking lighter shades 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 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. 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. Note :I tested only for 60 fps games as I have a PS4 ,but 120 fps tests from online testing tools are satisfying enough.
