Hi. Love this review. Do you think my nvidia 3050 HP Victus ryzen 7 could work fine with this monitor? I would like to play some games. Thank you.
@@cronoletal4501 thanks! You'll struggle to output high frames solidly at 1440p imo.
Other monitor companies should take note. Sane people who sit up at our desks want a 24" 1440p 144hz+ 1ms monitor. This is exactly what we want.
🙌
Couldn't agree more.
This is hardly any different than the Dell 24 inch 1440p 165hz TN panel that has existed since about 2016…. 😮💨 the only upgrade is that it is an IPS and not a TN. I just want a 240hz 1440p 24inch IPS 😩. I’ve had this Dell one since 2018 and while I like it a lot, now I want an upgrade in picture quality and refresh rate with at least 240hz. And my only options are 27 inch.
@@phantom498 sorry, stopped reading when you mentioned a TN panel being the same as an IPS lol.
@@phantom498 that's quite a difference.
YESSS YESSSS finally my monitor!!!! after all these years!!!
Totally subbed. This is exactly the monitor i have been looking for and its crazy there's only one other channel that covers this monitor.
Thank you!
finaly,been waiting for monitor like this for ages
Finally! My AG241QX developed a yogore/mura defect after years of good service, but until now, there wasn't a single, similarily specced 24 inch monitor available for a replacement. Going from TN to IPS, getting a bit of a higher refresh rate, and having an anti-glare coating with a finer structure are all good upgrades for me too. The 250€ price is awesome.
Ha, funnily enough, that monitor was at the back of my mind when I was reviewing this one; I remember its TN panel (yuck! haha)
@@TotallydubbedHD For a TN it was actually decent and had comparable levels of contrast and color vibrancy to a 2012ish IPS panel - the washed out look that usually accompanies TN panels was way less pronounced than what one would typically expect.
@@Psychx_ can't say I fully agree but fair enough
most awaited Monitor , size perfect 24" you can see whole screen without rotating neck, Pixel density awesome . individual pixels can not visible. Need More Monitors with same specs from LG , Samsung, MSI. AOC done the great job.
Yup!
This review came out way sooner than expected :D I just ordered mine! Great review as always ❤ can't wait to game on it
Yup, I was up till 2am editing and uploading! Thanks buddy, glad you liked it. Let me know when you get it and what you make of it 🤗
Hello, where did you order it from?
@balls991 there are multiple stores in Belgium offering them I saw they are even available on amazon
Bought mine in Holland for only 229 euro. Comes tomorrow.
@@s1gnex happy days, enjoy!
Hello mate, we were talking on Reddit. Fantastic review and I have the same thoughts, after speaking to you I decided to give it another try and I'm so glad I did. The few problems I was having were solved with changing a few settings, and I'm extremely happy with the results. I cant believe this monitor is only round 200 quid??
Nice to chat to you buddy! Glad you got it working how you wanted, what was it you charged?
@@TotallydubbedHD I just turned down the graphics a little to get a consistent 144+,and turned the mbr all the way down. I'm really happy with it now its a great little monitor
@@royally3029 ah fair enough - really glad to hear it!
Came from Reddit after reading your post lol

The input lag is so low, it actually reads your mind.
Hahaha
Great! Good review. Thanks
Thank you!
Just stumbled across it while on Hong Kong. An instant purchase! Can't want to get it home!
Happy days!
Still not available in the US to order 😑 This is what I want 24" 1440p and I'm not budging for anything but that size 😁
Do you know when it will be available in the US?
@@danilo9642 That's what I'm waiting for. On the official site AOC had Amazon UK listed but now it's not there. The price was $219.99 GBP which is about $280 US and also it was over $100 to ship from UK to US. 😞
god ive been waiting for this for like 3 years im gonna buy it immediately
Enjoy!
Is it good ?
I just bought this and already looks amazing straight out of the box!
Enjoy!
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks a lot! What settings do you suggest with latency?
@@Sharpshootingsz watch the video?
@@TotallydubbedHDi’ve watched this video 3 times already but i can’t find low latency setting
Thanks for your extensive review on this monitor, was very useful!
Also I can add that if you don't like the OSD control buttons (as many would do) ,
there is actually a Windows compatible software called "I-Menu" from AOC that allows one to control the monitor settings with your mouse, works all right.
Bought it for 239 euro in italy from amazon a month ago, quite pleased with it.
At such price maybe one could find a second hand 27" with these specs, yet I need a 24".
DP for my gaming rig and HDMI to my Macbook Pro, and this is just enough.
All the features work flawlessly.
Haven't found any drawbacks so far.
Glad you liked the review and thanks for sharing!
Come ti trovi ora, lo consigli ? Io ho un benq 165 hz 1080 p sempre 24 pollici… questo ha freesync premium giusto?
OMFG YESSSS!!!!!! MORE 23.8" 1440p 165Hz monitors please!!!!
I'm waiting for a 23.8" 1440p 240Hz+ OLED to replace my 27" 144Hz VA monitor!
I highly doubt that'll come, but I guess you never know!
I'm glad those smaller size 1440p gaming monitors are popping up. I dream of having a 24.5" 1440p gaming monitor, it would be the perfect size for my taste!
🙌
You need to up your dream standards young man, this won't do, we need 24 inch 4K monitors right close up against our eye balls whilst a harem of women fan over us with big golden leaves to keep us cool.
@@Cryptolorian Nah, small 4k screens kind of suck because of scaling not being supported in some apps. Until some miracle happens in this regard, I'll stick witk 2k.
@@Cryptolorian lmao
I own this monitor and is amazing !!!! I would love to see in the future 24inch 2560v1440p MiniLED 240Hz
Glad you're enjoying it!
perfect for Gaming + Office work.
Great monitor, I LOVE my AOC
🙌
Just picked one of these up and the image is much better than my Dell 27" 1440P 165hz IPS monitor. This monitor is very sharp and I like the colours, uniformity and contrast. The stand is good too but I mount mine on a monitor arm. Also glad it has a power supply built in to the monitor instead of one of those annoying external power bricks. Menu buttons are fiddly but hopefully set it once and be done with it but you can change the settings with the i-Menu app. IO is very limited and the red accent at the bottom of the screen is not too bad. I live in Northern Europe and availability is not too bad here.
Glad you're enjoying it and thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks to you for recommending. Also picked up the 1080P AOC 24G2/SU model (again recommended by you) and this was an excellent monitor too but ended up keeping the Q model instead as 1440P @ 23.8” was more unique and sharper. Other manufacturers should take note.
@@davieslm thanks bud, glad you found it all helpful :)
The main question that most reviewers did not provide about this monitor is how it performs downscaling to 1080p since it is 24-inch model. Most users are interested of getting the monitor and to be able to downscale without any downsides if they need to (demanding games etc.) Keep up the good work!
The main question is why would you buy a 1440p monitor to have it run at 1080p? Makes absolutely no sense.
@@TotallydubbedHD Ok, I will give you an example. I want to play low demanding games on 1440p, but if my system is struggling for the high demanding ones, I will downscale to 1080p to archive the desired FPS target. This is one of the reasons, the other can be because I`m also using another system (such as a games console) that doesn’t support a QHD signal. Anyway, when downscaling from 1440p to 1080p there are usually downsides such as blurry and less sharp image. It is interesting to know are those issues less noticeable for this model since is 24-inch monitor.
@@venibratanov fair enough. My honest opinion however, is that if you're going to struggle at 1440p on the regular, I'd advise getting a 1080p panel altogether. So that you don't have to worry about scaling.
Btw, check out PC Monitors' review of it, I think Adam has covered scaling on this particular monitor!
@@venibratanovyou need to scale down to 720p for it not to be blurry, or scale from 4K monitor to 1080p.
@@TotallydubbedHD I mean, you can have a feature proof experience, so it's not completely wrong. Also, the more you up the resolution, the better monitors get overall. There isn't a lot of improvement in the 1080p monitor space. It's not just less resolution but also worse colors, worse response rates, worse input lag, worse refresh rate and in general, everything worse.
So in my opinion, it makes total sense to get a monitor that has a bigger refresh rate and use less of it in some cases, unless it's for a console that you know won't update for 6-7 years (in which case, you will also get a new monitor after that) or any other similar case. OP's request is also special and I can understand why "normal" reviews don't cover it, but it will be an interesting idea to do a review for that!
Thanks for the review! Just pre-ordered one. Finally upgrading my 1080p, 10-year old monitor. A long wait indeed.
The brightness locked on srgb really sucks. Any tips to calibrate the normal-mode?
Glad you enjoyed it! As for the user settings, my own adjustments were briefly shown in the OSD section. Note, these haven't been finely tuned for the sRGB colour space.
Hello, where did you preorder it?
Weirdly enough it appears you are the only person on the internet who's reviewed this monitor.
It's about 270 euros here but with our currency tanking vs the euro and 25% VAT that's not too bad.
Yup, I'm the first the world!
Great review man👍🏼
I'm just wondering what is the height of a monitor stand? Cuz I kinda have a bunk bed and I hope it will fit.
Thanks! Not sure, but I think the specs have the details.
i will go crazy when the oled 1440p 240hz 24inch comes out if it ever does
how can i get this if I"m in the US? The link to amazon here doesn't take me to the european amazon page =(
Fantastic review... and about this models: AOC Gaming 24G2SPU and AOC AGON 24G2SAE, is there any difference?, thanks a lot!
Glad you liked the review! Pretty sure there is, check the specs of both.
Finally! Been using my dell s2417dg since its release in 2016 just waiting.... and waiting for an upgrade to come
Enjoy!
Funnily enough I wanted to purchase the s2417dg but I've heard of some panels/revisions having terrible color and banding issues. has this been the case for you?
@@sublime_tv No my screen is perfectly fine, the colours are a bit weak since it is an older TN panel but its no bad at all
Hi, i`ve ordered this beautifull Piece; but in your other Video you said that you need at least 2.1 HDMI to display 1440p at 165hz?
Is the 2.0 HDMI from this monitor enough to diplay 165hz at 1440p?
Thanks in advance ☺
That right, you'll be capped.
Edit: covered it in the video - did you not watch it?
Hello! I'm impressed with the quality of your content! Thank you very much!
I want to ask a few questions, I hope for an answer. Now I have MSI Optix G241 144hz 23.8" 1080p. So, will I see a difference for better or worse in all respects? I use the monitor for work (coding) and CS GO.
I have been thinking about buying a Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG700 for a long time until I saw this one amazing monitor. (don't really like 28")
The second part of my question: which is better in terms of price-quality ratio, samsun or this AOC?
So, what would you recommend buying, given the following prices:
AOC Q24G2A - 285$
Samsung Odyssey G7 S28AG700 - 425$
I've not tried the Samsung or the MSI, but the latter is 1080p, this is 1440p! Massive difference.
Glad you like the video, don't forget to drop a like or sub :)
desperately want this monitor to become available in the US. Good sign seeing it becoming available in the UK
also is the monitor sold out? Its not appearing when I click your link. Would appreciate a response as I'm trying to find a reshipper
Doesn't look to be available everywhere right now, but I think that'll change (namely for the UK), very soon!
USA!!!! PLEASE!!!! We want 24" Monitors like this!!!
@@NZIGNANTI been told it won't be coming to the US at the moment!
I find it funny how this monitor is available in Ukraine (my country) but not the US LMAO
Brilliant review, this looks amazing! My only concerns are that I've heard it's 6 bit+FRC instead of true 8 bit. Also how grainy is the matte finish?
Thanks! I'll ask AOC, but as far as I'm aware it's true 8-bit (as you might have seen from the input screenshot). And there's no grain whatsoever.
@@TotallydubbedHD Thank you do the reply, I may have to pick this up soon if any UK stores start selling!
@@o0TreyRoyer0o np!
Hey there, I've just seen some reports on reddit mentioning that this is indeed 6 bit +FRC, would you still reccomend this over a 27" 1440p monitor?
@@o0TreyRoyer0o as mentioned I've asked AOC, but regardless yes I would (as far as I'm aware it's 8-bit)
Hey man
Thanks for the channel, it's very informative for a UK audience compared to most stuff out there. Especially for budget gamers - I didn't know there were so many new cheap monitors that look viable for tactical fps.
Now, to my question/s. I mostly play Valorant (immortal level), sometimes other fps but mostly competitive shooters (with an old 144hz zowie). I'm trying to decide between this AOC Q24G2A (23.8" 1440p 165Hz) and the AOC 25G3ZM (240hz VA). I didn't know fast VA's existed so now stuck with this decision. The extra pixel density of the 1440p would be useful w/ a monitor arm to bring the screen closer but the lower framerate surely means worse motion clarity. Then the VA has better contrast on top of the higher frame rate. What would you personally go for? both are basically the same price on amazon.
Side note, do you have any issues using the motion blur reduction? I've never used one before but have friends that dislike dyac due to it giving them headaches. Is the one implemented in these monitors much different than dyac?
Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks for the nice comment!
Unfortunately, I can't give you a better answer; it's either a trade-off of refresh rate or resolution. Alternatively, you spend more and get the best of both worlds (240hz 1440p IPS/VA).
If a combination is out of your budget, then if you use the monitor just for gaming (especially competitive), then I'd suggest a higher refresh rate over a higher resolution.
Dyac is a form of motion blur reduction, but a bit more advanced than what you find elsewhere; but in a nutshell, it's the same effect - better motion clarity at the expense of brightness (usually) and potential headaches for those whoa re overly sensitive to strobbing.
Cheers for the speedy response.
I might have to stretch the budget then. It's just when you look at value, the price goes up double when you hit that 1440p/240hz combination.
Yeah, I don't think dyac/motion blur tech is that necessary for tactical shooters where low input lag/response times is the priority. I'd probably love it for overwatch though, with all the tracking and moving targets in that game.
The monitor space feels like such a minefield with so many products and little, sometimes contradictory information regarding what's best in a competitive setting. A part of me wants to just go with the safe Zowie option but the colours on my current one are so washed out and inaccurate.
@@Flashplaya555 indeed, there are plenty of options, thankfully I've got a really concise list that I'd suggest you watch (skip to 1440p): ua-cam.com/video/HAtn6Mm99eA/v-deo.html
Hello, im interested how response times and ghosting scale with slower refresh rates.
My pc wont be able to get more than 100 fps on more demanding games, so response times at 60hz do matter. If possible, at weak or medium overdrive.
Not possible. Plus, not sure why you'd run the monitor at that refresh rate or resolution, if you can't output 1440p properly. Look at a 1080p monitor instead.
PERFECT MONITOR I ALSO WANT TO BUY A 24 2 MONITOR 24 1080P LOOKS SO BAD PIXLATED
Hey man, I am inbetween deciding on a AOC Q27G2S and this monitor (AOC Q24G2A)
The only thing im not sure about are the monitor response times. Would you say that you personally noticed a big difference between these 2 monitors?
I'd say this one is the better of the two in that department.
@@TotallydubbedHDAlright thanks for the reply
@@edgarsskrabins no worries!
The size I'm looking for. I want to replace my 1080p/360hz with a 24" 1440p for so long. I'm in the US and Amazon UK does ship to me 😎😁
Happy days!
@@TotallydubbedHD Indeed, hopefully more companies will follow. Oh sorry one thing this is freesync as well?
Which Monitor should I pick? Either the new aoc monitor which you reviewed or the Lg 27GP850p, Msi mag274qrf-qd, or the new Hp monitors (Omen 27q and omen 27qs). I personally only need 165hz and edit videos. I also like a high contrast ratio for ips standards. The Lg costs as much as the hp omen 27qs and the aoc costs as much as the aoc monitor. The msi monitor costs 100 euros more the the lg and hp omen qs monitor. Thanks
Not tried the others, but this is unique
I recently bough lg 27gp850 and Im thinking if I should change to 24' monitor. 27 is kinda big for 45-50 cm distance eyes>monitor :|
For some reason, with 165 g-sync DP enabled, when switching games in full screen mode alt+tab or to another monitor on the black screen for a second appear streaks of pixels.with g-sync turned off everything is ok
What do you recommend for a console?
I would instantly buy this if it were 240Hz and available in the US - much more of a competitive gamer but I want the best of both worlds!
Same, big missed opportunity to make it 240hz, as a 240hz 1440p IPS 24 inch has never been produced to my knowledge. Highest refresh rate I’ve seen is 165hz dell’s
is this available? I can't find it anywhere. Does it have a different name in the US?
Any chance of reviewing AOC Agon AG405UXC, It looks so promising ?
Oh, potentially, I'll enquire :) - thanks for the heads up!
Hi, i have a question. Is 1440p overall an advantageous for sweating in games (for example does it make easier to spot enemies?) or it is just for convenience? If i want solely sweat, would you recommend me this 1440p 165HZ or 1080 240HZ? I am asking since i never had 1440p yet and now after watching this review i cant decide between this one or some 240hz like AOC 24G2ZU (or maybe better one if you can recommend another of your reviews for up to 400$?).
If you're a hardcore competitive gamer, I would suggest the highest refresh rate possible. However, 1440p will make things look clearer and will just look a lot better. If that's of importance to you is a different question. Do remember that GPU power is also important in knowing what you can actually output (FPS wise at XYZ resolution)
@@TotallydubbedHD Wow, your response time is better than any of monitors :D. Thank you very much! Subscribed.
@@mirosawj2108 haha thank you
Beautiful wedding photo on desktop 🥰
Awww thank you!
If i'm looking for in depth specs, your channel is my guide! I'm upgrading my 1080p benq ex2510. This monitor is perfect for what you're saying! I was looking for great brightness, ips panel, 2k, and low input so this is has to be my choice. Question is, do you personal think that a 27 inches would be better looking for a 2k? I'm worried about regretting not buying a 27 inches monitor (xbox series x user). Love this review :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review!
As for your question, it's quite subjective - ironically, I have a video on that too: ua-cam.com/video/o6kWpXFDpco/v-deo.html
@@TotallydubbedHD Always useful my friend! Thanks a lot
@@Sennarzz pleasure!
I want to buy this monitor mostly for work but can I also do 1080p gaming on it by setting the in-game resolution to 1080p? Or would that be a terribly blurry experience?
Thank you
Shouldn't be an issue but can't attest to it
@@TotallydubbedHD Ok mate, have ordered and will test it out. If it all goes tiddies up then uncle Bezos will have to take it back LOL. Cheers chum
@@Cryptolorian let me know how you get on!
Hello i got the monitor but the low input lag mode its grayed out is it on or i have to do something i turned off gsync?
Yes, think it was covered in the review?
Hello, due to the VERY good price(203euro !!) i got it, what settings would you reccomend?
Enjoy! Settings shared in the video.
Hello. I have watched the review of this monitor in several videos. The reviews are similar in all videos, but the values look almost 2 times better in your review. Could this be because of the display port cable you are using? And what is the modelo of the display port cable you are using?
Can't comment about other results, however, mine are accurate. Cable won't make a difference.
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks for answer. So you have done all these tests with the stock cable out of the box ?
@@Pbgm77 my own cable, but that's the same cable I use for EVERY monitor.
@@TotallydubbedHD I want to buy the same one. May i know the brand and model?
@@Pbgm77 again it's completely irrelevant and makes no difference to anything. Use the one supplied in the box!
When you in your video say, "The response time of the monitor is linked to the overdrive setting. The higher the overdrive the better the response time, but the worse the visual experience.", it is a bit misleading and inaccurate.
Motion clarity is about reaching a tradeoff between Response Time and Overshoot Time, such that you have a low Total Response Time.
Sometimes total Total Response Time is the same for different overdrive options, but one might have higher response time and the other has more overshoot which would be a personal preference between motion blur and inverse ghosting.
Too high overdrive does indeed suck as can be seen from the measurements, which I think is what you meant, nut in general visual experience doesn't simply degrade if overdrive is higher.
Finding a balance between the two is when the visual experience is the best. :)
Great video!
Some info;
Response time is the time(t) between start time, "ts" and target time "tx", which is the time at which it reaches the target color.
With higher overdrive you go faster from start to target but it can cause overshoot.
Overshoot is when your pixel goes beyond the value that it was intended to, after which it will go return to it's intended target.
The time at which it has returned to the target again we can call "tr".
So:
Response Time(RT) = tx - ts
Overshoot Time(OT) = tr - tx
Total Response Time(TRT) = Overshoot time + Response time = tr-ts
If Response Time is high the pixel will be slow to go to target, which is perceived as motion blur.
If Overshoot Time is high you will get inverse ghosting.
I'm happy with the way I've done my video, thanks.
@@TotallydubbedHD That's good, I like it too. Also your other videos about latency and refresh rates were very interesting :) Just wanted to comment on it, that's all.
Would you recommend this or the Koorui GP01? I hear they're quite similar
Never heard of the other, which should tell you everything lol
What HDMI ports does it have and is a hdmi cable included in the box?
Hey, i am considering buying this monitor, but i cannot find clear information on the length of the included cables, do you happen to have the measurements of them?
Edit: nevermind, of course i figure out how their website is ordered right after posting this comment, thanks for the review though!
No worries, glad you enjoyed the review!
How is the monitor?
@@Bellaciaao I am still waiting to get it delivered, so i am unsure as for now, i don't expect anything weird though
Stock in the U.K seems to be non existent at the moment which is a shame as I have been holding out for 24” qhd monitor
Great review, I've ordered the AOC G2 Q24G2A/BK ... is there any difference between this and the /BK?
Pleasure, glad you liked it. There's no difference, might just be a country code type of thing
@@TotallydubbedHD like it I love it mate, my old monitor is a dell S2721DGFA 27 Inch QHD (2560x1440) Gaming Monitor, 165Hz, IPS and this little bad boy is smashing it, it's not night and day but it's definitely sharper, the colours are better, more realistic and the shadows pop more where they should in game, which makes you notice the scene where there is a bright light or ray of shine for example but on the dell I don't notice it as much, I've calibrated and messed about with the dell as much as I could but overall the picture quality and colours sre better than the dell, the IPS glow is alot more noticeable on my dell which makes the darker scenes and even the menu better looking on this new monitor.
The dell has brighter colours but usually In areas on games it doesn't matter, the colour contrast is quite poor I didn't realise it until I bought this monitor for fun/back up.
What a bargain.
@@conrankehoe3485 glad to hear it and thanks for sharing! Great that you're enjoying it :)
@@conrankehoe3485 it should work, unless you're running at 60hz!?
@@TotallydubbedHD it's working now not sure if it was because I had a second monitor connected but turned off
But anyway yeah MBR mode is really smooth, the lower brightness doesn't seem to much.
Is input lag still the same MBR mode strong drive as Gysnc on strong drive?
Which one do you recommend personally I can't tell the difference other than one is brighter than the other...
is it not in stock? i cant see it in amazon through your link.
Doesn't seem so just yet
Hey man, im in doubt between this monitor or the 24g2zu which u reviewed aswell.
Im mostly playing cs2, apex, league of legends, etc.. im pretty competitive
Got an rtx 3090 with a ryzen 5900x
Would it be better to go 165hz 1440p or 240hz 1080p?
If you're a hardcore competitive gamer, I'd suggest 240hz. If you play occasionally and also other more casual games, then I'd suggest going 1440p.
@@TotallydubbedHD appreciate the fast response, i think ill go for the 240hz monitor
@@josmaatje5827 np, if you're buying via Amazon, links in the description give me commission!

Hey so about this monitor how would it compare to the acer 390? Ive roughly been able to hit 300 fps and it seems like maxing out the monitor doesnt really seem feasible or is there another better option?
Two different monitors.
@@TotallydubbedHD im guessing ones just more focused on esports right? im just wondering what the gaming experience between the two are like ?
@@myteor5576 yup!
Is this a good monitor for a ps5?
I'm considering to buy a 24 inch monitor. Does 1080p and 1440p feel that much different? Is it very noticeable or is it just minor?
Big difference, but would suggest watching this video for more info: ua-cam.com/video/o6kWpXFDpco/v-deo.html
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks for replying. Guess I'll wait for Q24G2A to be available in my area
Right now I have an Asus ROG XG249CM 23.8" 270hz 1080P monitor and also have the 23.8" AOC Q24G2 1440P monitor. Reading text within Windows is a noticeable improvement over 1080P but in gaming, the AOC is sharper but 1080P gaming on the same size screen is not bad either but not quite as good. Its not like gaming on a larger 25" or 27" 1080P monitor which will be very soft.
@@davieslm I see. For now I'm actually leaning towards 1080p (mainly for gaming) as my 3070 laptop won't be able to play max settings 1440p on future games anyway. Thanks for the info!
Please please let this be available in Canada soon
should i get this or the alienware aw2523hf? i’ve been playing csgo for around 4 years and when i tried cs2 i could barely see the enemies on my 60 hz monitor.
Well that's a very high refresh rate monitor - I've got a review of it, but that's a 1080p. Guess it depends on your priorities.
Does it support freesync too?
Would you recommend this monitor or the AOC Gaming 25G3ZM/BK - 24.5" 240Hz for fast paced FPS games
I'm using an ASUS 144hz TN panel that came out in 2013 so I'm thinking an upgrade might up my game a little
If you're a hardcore competitive gamer, then higher hertz the better. If you want a blend and can push 1440p, you'll get a shaper image and it'll be much better for general PC usage. Up to you to decide!
@@TotallydubbedHD I think what I'll do is go for the 240hz AOC for FPS games and get a 2nd monitor for story based games. Perhaps a 1440p/4K IPS, I have watched so many reviews over the last few months of deciding and your videos are always really well made and super helpful also thanks for the response 🙂
Monitor seems to no longer exist on amazon
Great review! By any chance, do you plan to do a review of the Gigabyte G24F 2 (the new version) ?
Thanks, and nope the Gigabyte PR is non existent.
@@TotallydubbedHD What does "PR" mean please? sorry I don’t speak English well
@@domino7844 public relations, the marketing team, the people who organise press samples. No worries haha
@@TotallydubbedHD Ok, thank you. And are you planning to do reviews of the monitors "IIYAMA G-MASTER GB2470HSU-B5" and "MSI Optix MAG245R2"?
@@domino7844 nope.
that 944:1 contrast ratio is kinda underwhelming for an IPS panel, but on the other hand, it is a cheaper panel so we cant expect it to be perfect, but to me contrast is important in games, i dont have the greatest eyes.
It's 1000:1 according to their specs.
It's perfectly acceptable imo, regular IPS panels stretch up to 1300:1 max from what I've seen.
They should make a 240hz varient and then this will actually be the best monitor.
Yeah that would be nice!
All I want :(
Wait… I’m ordering a new PC this week with a 4070 and I’m looking for a decent monitor to go with it. It’s been over 7 years since I owned a gaming rig so there’s some stuff I need to catch up to lol. I really like playing fps games (csgo or battlefield) at a competitive level, and from what I’m understanding gsync is not good for that? I’m a bit confused as to what to do with the settings when I get it. I used to have a benq xl2411 and played a lot of csgo on it. Is this panel worse or better than that one? Kinda confused here since a lot has changed seemingly lol.
This is 1440p, double the resolution of the BenQ. So yes, for that reason and others highlighted in the video, it's better.
@@TotallydubbedHD thanks for the fast reply. I am aware that the 1440p resolution is better than the Benq, but I was specifically referring to input lag times. From the video I can take this is actually better than the benq also in that department.
@@juliusjacob1416 indeed
Would really consider this if my 7 year old alienware 24 inch 240hz wasnt still working perfectly.
Fair enough
I want to buy this monitor but coming from a 1080p 60hz so dont know if my pc can handle the 1440p..
Do you know my pc can handle this monitor?
Cpu ryzen 7 7700x
Gpu red devil 6750xt
Thanks!
Suggest checking GPU reviews and the for the games you play
Me encantó este monitor, pero no lo encuentro a la venta en ninguna tienda 😭
the one I ordered had quite a yellow cast and certainly not as bright as my old monitor. I also missed a setting to adjust the sharpness because I found the image blurry compare to my 1080p monitor. For me this was not an upgrade but a downgrade. I played a couple hours with settings and games after that I brought it back straight away.
Odd, wasn't my experience of it.
24" 1440p, 240hz 1ms monitor😁would be my wish!
id die
Im looking for a monitor below 27' (bough lg 27gp850 and its to big for me :( im sitting about 40-45cm from monitor)
Is there any better option below 27' than that ASUS?
I was also thinking about Dell Alienware AW2523HF, but its only fhd.
I want to get best possible matrix ips/va panel in this sizing.
Can you help me with it?
Tbh the ones I would suggest are the ones listed.
Has this been released in the UK yet? Can't seem to find it on Amazon or any other retailer
Not just yet it seems
Hey, thanks for replying. I managed to find it on Amazon but ETA is within 1 to 2 months. To be honest that's not too bad. Not sure if I should get this 23.8 inch monitor or a 25 inch Dell monitor though. Is a 25 inch monitor significantly bigger than a 23.8 inch one?
@@syedul68 no idea of how the Dell performs, so can't comment.
for competitive gaming would you recommend this one or viewsonic xg4231 1080p, 240 Hz Monitor ? Please tell me..
Two different monitors. If you're a hardcore gamer, I'd suggest looking at the ones mentioned in the description of this video.
@@TotallydubbedHD I know, But which one is better? Thanks
I don’t see it on the Amazon link!! I want it but I can’t find ):
May i know what gpu did you used for this monitor?
RTX 3080 :)
It looks like the dream monitor, and I bet it is, but are AOC a good company, because Im don’t really know them
And If I connect a 30 fps Nintendo can I damage in some way the monitor, I think the G Sync is for that but Idk
Yup, very reputable and better than most.
Hello, very nice review, im currently deciding between: LG 27" 27GP850P-B; AOC 27" Q27G2S; Samsung LS27AG502NUXE. all 27" 1440p isp 165hz (lg oc 180) for similar price, I was wondering if you could give a recommendation thanks
I can recommend the AOC, but not tried the others
Will the story mode games graphics would look like 4K sharpness? Or still blurry and fuzzy please reply T-T im planning to buy this
Huh?
@@TotallydubbedHDsorry I meant does it look good like not pixelated when playing games? Just like 27 inch 4k it look so good not even blurry. But in 24 inch 1440p does it look blurry when playing games because in 1080p find it bluery I can see the pixels 😅😅😅
@@Keemochi420you shouldn't have any issues.
Is this good for the PS5? I want a monitor for e-sports (Fifa) and a little of call of duty and some story games..please give some directions
Sure, watch the video.
it’s fine i use it for the same thing
Would've been perfect if it would've had a wide gamut display.
Well, would have been a nice bonus but not something to lose sleep over
so which one is better 24 or 27 in 1440p ?
That's subjective, but watch this for more info: ua-cam.com/video/o6kWpXFDpco/v-deo.html
Cant find this monitor for sale anymore, idk if I'm being stupid. Did it get a model replacement? Anyone got a link?
Hey man, I've just discovered about your channel, what do you think I should get between this one and the LG 25GR75FG from UltraGear to play league of legends competitively? The ultra gear is 360hz with 1080p and is literally the monitor used for pro competitions accross the LEC. Somebody is willing to sell it to me for about 350euros instead of 700euros in my country. I would love to have your thoughts on this
I've not tried that but it's likely the same as the other 360Hz monitors I've tested. Tbh I don't know why you even need more than 144hz for LoL, as such I'd recommend getting this monitor for its higher resolution (everything will look a lot better!)
Thanks a lot for your quick answer!@@TotallydubbedHD
@@kozo77_ no worries
@@TotallydubbedHD So I bought it, would you say that overdrive on boost mode is worth it for playing league ? What about MBR? Or should I simply go with GSync on ? I guess that I should mention that I have a great setup and am far from my max fps here
So on this monitor size i can turn the res down to 1080p for some games to get high fps without having bluriness like 27inch monitor on 1080p res?
Guess so, but I'd advise turning down the graphics and staying at 1440p
VESA mount compatible?
I've been looking for a monitor like this for a couple of years and it's finally here but of course, just my luck, it's only available in the U.K. as of right now... Does anyone know when this will be available in the U.S.?
From what I've been told, it won't be coming to the US.
@@TotallydubbedHD That's incredible news! I'm going to go die now :D
Did they drawback release of this product? I cant find it anywhere.
No, just hard to source at the moment
hey, this monitor support vrr on ps5?
I see your gamma is 2,2 between 35 and 50%. I can't get mine above 1,8. Is the percent talking about brightness setting? I have mine set to 40.
I don't have a tool though just relying on eyes.
Sorry, how is it you know your gamma is at 1.8, if you don't have a tool?
As mentioned in the video (as I can see you edited or deleted your original one asking about 2.2) - the monitor was set to sRGB mode.
@@TotallydubbedHD Ok I figured it out. It was the browsers messing with the image. I downloaded the Lagom gamma test picture and opened it in a picture viewer instead and now I can see the gamma is pretty close to 2.2. I can't see precisely where it falls with just my eyes but it's within range at least.
@@iyaramonk glad you got it sorted.
Finally! 27" are too much for me.
I just bought this for my ps5. It looks very good, but it doesnt support 1440p at 120hz? I am using the hdmi that came with my ps5. Any solution?
Check your PS5 settings.
6:20 so let me get this straight, the 1440p monitor also displays 4k ? im confused
That's right, it's a 4K signal input downscaled to 1440p. Most modern 1440p monitors do it; would suggest reading this excellent article from TFT Central: tftcentral.co.uk/news/when-4k-is-not-really-4k
