AOC C24G1A 24 Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor, FHD 1920x1080, 1500R, VA, 1ms MPRT, 165Hz (144Hz supported), FreeSync Premium, Height adjustable Black

I really like this gaming monitor, for the price it good quality, except, the dead pixel issue that I’m sure is attributed to shipping and handling. But that being said I have had additional pixels go out since owning it, mind you it sits on my best and never moves, being used maybe three hours a day. So that’s a heartbreaker. I’d have sent it back and asked for a new one but didn’t want to be without a monitor for days just to gamble on another monitor that might have even more dead pixels from being tossed in and out of trucks.

(I didnt see a lot of reviews for the AOC 24 Curved Gaming Monitor Model: C24G1A, so I wanted to share) (In my photo, the AOC is the monitor in the middle) I game on my PC and have been using a nice budget HP 24 monitor (240vha) which was the #1 bestseller on Amazon for quite some time. I dont have a ton of money but wanted to upgrade to a monitor with a faster refresh rate and see if it really made a difference. The game Ive mainly played is NBA 2k21 (and a little bit of GTA V). Ive owned and used this monitor for 1 day now and I will try to remember to come back in the future and update. Despite not the best at displaying the full color spectrum, they are very vibrant and you can dial up a ton of contrast and brightness. I have the brightness turned all the way down and its still almost a bit too bright for my eyes but may Ill adjust over time. It is indeed a 165mhz monitor. It stands up to those refresh rates and I havent had any issues with ghosting, motion blur, dead pixels, or power issues. For most day-to-day gamers, this is a great monitor if you cant afford a bigger brand (but in some cases you are just paying the extra dollars for the name when the products are virtually the same). If you are an e-sports professional or getting paid to game for a living, this might not be the best monitor for you. This is the only monitor Ive owned with 165mhz or 144mhz rates so I dont have anything to compare it to however for my first gaming monitor, its a heckuva good buy for the price. I must have caught it on sale because the price has gone up $23 in 4-5 days...i only paid $144 (and yes, its new, not refurbed). For a sub $150 price tag, youll be hard pressed to find a better deal on a 24 curved monitor that supports 165Mhz. Youll definitely want to go into the monitors settings and play around. We all have different tastes and likes and there are a lot of color modes and options to dial in a satisfying picture for all users. I work and game on this monitor/PC so it will be getting extensive use (8-15 hrs a day) and I will try to remember to come back and update my rating in due time. *update* After 2 months of usage, the monitor has an issue. I have a pixel that gets stuck on red when it is trying to reproduce darker colors. It works fine when its white or black but any other darker color and the pixel get stuck on red. ive added a picture of the pixel for reference. Ive had monitors with dead pixels before but never an issue like this....very odd. Ive contacted AOCs customer support for an RMA but am skeptical that it will be considered a covered defect. I am outside of my 30 day return window so Amazon is unable to replace it for me. A refund was offered by Amazon minus a restocking fee but that wouldnt come near close enough to cover the cost of a replacement. I have changed my rating from 5 stars to 3 and will update my review again after I hear back from AOC.

Update #2 : Just bought myself a second AOC monitor, this time the 34 ultra wide 2k 144mhz. A very good monitor for gaming! So far Im liking this monitor a good deal. Its what Id expect. There is definitely better but absolutely nothing wrong with this one for the price point. You definitely want to have g-sync/adaptive sync off though. If youre getting this for that, then look elsewhere. But honestly both those features are pretty irrelevant IMO. Ive tested numerous gaming monitors from cheap to rich pig expensive and not one time was I ever like oh wow! That g-sync really made my experience better! In this monitors case, I find that it reduces performance while not improving picture quality much. Other than that its great.... no dead pixels, only slight ghosting on black screens, pixel response time is fast enough (again, as long as g-sync/adaptive sync are both turned off). Brightness is more than satisfactory for any room that isnt quite literally a room surrounded by glass windows. (outdoor use in the sun would be a bit rough, but who does that?) I have two primary complaints : 1) The curvature pretty much does nothing, as it is too slight for a monitor 27 or larger (i got the 27 here). Might be ok for a 24 or smaller. 2) Every single cable it came with was DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Even the power cord! This is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Luckily I had higher quality versions already available to me. Id recommend this to any gamer who isnt a top tier e-sports player and wants to spend a reasonable (as opposed to excessive) amount of money on a good monitor. I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone who thinks g-sync and adaptive sync are essential to their gaming. Obviously considering my cable issues, Id also recommend you purchase your own ahead of time.

The size is perfect, high refresh rate, low input delay great color

This was a huge upgrade for my 10year old monitor. Saw a big improvement in my gamming.

Bought this monitor to accompany my new entry level pc I built. This monitor is great for anyone looking for great performance on a budget! All specs are accurate and the design is sleek and looks great!

El monitor es de buen tamaño y definitivamente una muy buena opción por su precio. Antes tenía un monitor de ASUS con el cual llevaba varios años y al estar mucho tiempo viendo la pantalla me molestaba, sin embargo ya llevo un par de meses con este monitor y puedo decir que la diferencia es notable, no solamente en el cuidado de los ojos, sino también en la calidad de la imagen y de la fluidez. El marco es casi completo, por lo que aprovecha casi toda la pantalla. Es la primera vez que compro un monitor curvo y al principio por otras reseñas que había visto me daba un poco de susto comprarlo sin embargo, puedo decir que me parece brutal este diseño y que realmente es muy cómodo al mismo tiempo que mucho más inmersivo y por su tasa de refresco una excelente opción para juegos competitivos en la calidad de 1080p. Tiene un menú integrado en la pantalla con una ámplia gama de opciones para la imagen, desde juegos hasta películas. Lo único que no me gusta del monitor son los botones y es que son muy pequeños y no son muy cómodos para poderlos apretar, pero después te acostumbras, además que luego de tenerlo configurado el único que utilizarás será el de prender y apagar la pantalla.

I bought this monitor in late 2020 for $150, with many worries going through my head. I was worried that the colors would be too washed out, worried that the curve might be too much, worried about the quality of the product, worried about its acclaimed 1ms mprt, and worried if the monitor would come with any dead pixels. I got none of that. What i did get was a big smile across my face. This monitor was probably one of the best purchases and investments Ive made so far. The quality of the product is perfect for the price range its in, it certainly outdoes my Acer SB220Q. Speaking of which, the Acer monitor comes with an ips panel, i was scared that i wouldnt enjoy the VA panel the AOC would come with, but it turned out to be just fine for gaming, movies, and other media. I do frequently use photoshop so the Acers ips panel will still be utilized for that. As for the curve, the curve is just barely noticeable when youre directly in front of the monitor, which is perfect. As for the acclaimed 1ms, its 1ms mprt, but the actual response time is probably 4ms, which is perfectly fine and you shouldnt really worry about a 4ms response time holding you back at all. And as for the people who have received dead pixels on their AOCs, mine arrived with zero dead pixels as advertised, it most likely has to do with whether or not the monitor was damaged during shipping. So should you buy this monitor? If youre looking for a decent 1080p 144hz experience, and dont care about having the best response time in class (which you shouldnt care about in this price range), and do not require an ips panel, this works perfectly. It also runs flawlessly with GSYNC enabled, just be sure to use the included Display port cable and not the HDMI cable to actually utilize GSYNC and the 144hz.
