As defaults with a significant boost in gamma. Appears quite ‘contrasty’ and cinematic, with significant crushing together of darker shades in particular. On various Battlefield titles, at a frame rate keeping up with the 165Hz refresh rate, the monitor provided decent fluidity. Compared to a 60Hz monitor or the AOC running at 60Hz (or 60fps), 2.75 times as much visual information is displayed every second. This significantly enhances the ‘connected feel’, describing the precision and fluidity felt when interacting with your character on the game. The low input lag of the monitor is also beneficial in this respect and complements the high frame and high refresh rate combination nicely. The high frame rate and high refresh rate combination also decreases perceived blur due to eye movement, as demonstrated earlier using Test UFO. As also demonstrated, the bump up from 144Hz to 165Hz is hardly dramatic in that respect – though the extra refresh rate is still a bonus, if you have the frame rate to match.

Another gripe is that the picture area does not extend to the bezel - you can clearly see the pixelised area of the screen stops with about 5mm of un-pixelised screen to spare before the inside edge of the bezel. I have no idea why this was done, it kind of defeats the object of the exercise of having minimalist bezels. Perhaps its so they can market it as 27 inch when in fact it is slightly less. Perhaps they just bung a cheaper screen on an existing 27 inch bezel production line to save costs. It just looks a bit odd with the pc running - my older 24 inch 1080 Acer monitor has minimalist bezels with the pixelised screen extending right up to the bezel. Anschlussmöglichkeiten: 1xVGA / 2xHDMI 1.4 / 1x DisplayPort 1.2 / 1x Headphone out (3,5mm) / 1x Line in / 4x USB 3.0 Typ A (3x blau, 1x gelb) Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. If you’re intending to use the monitor with the PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, be aware that a small settings tweak may be required to ensure 120Hz is selectable. Details can be found in this article. I bought the AOC 24G2SPU monitor and just got it yesterday.The experience so far is amazing but I have a few unanswered questions and hope to find them here, because even though the internet is a massive place, I still haven't figured out:I also rather like how vibrant the colours look here, and for good reason. The panel covers around 91% of the DCI P3 spectrum – a great result in this sort of class for sure. To top it off, AOC actually under-reported the panel’s brightness. They list it at 300 nits, but I recorded it at a little shy of 500 nits! That’s a substantial improvement, and for brighter environments that can make a big difference in usability for sure. It’s not quite bright enough for any level of good HDR support, despite the HDR modes available in the on screen menu. What also impressed me was the colour accuracy, with my SpyderX reporting an average DeltaE of just under 1, which is excellent and makes this a great choice for anyone who wants to game and do content creation. 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. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image.

The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. As shown above the standard RGB (Red, Green and Blue) stripe subpixel layout is used. This is the default expected by modern operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. Apple’s MacOS no longer uses subpixel rendering and therefore doesn’t optimise text for one particular subpixel layout to the detriment of another. You needn’t worry about text fringing from non-standard subpixel layouts and won’t need to change the defaults in the ‘ClearType Text Tuner’ as a Windows user. You may still wish to run through the ClearType wizard and adjust according to preferences, however. The subpixel layout and arrangement is normal and we had no subpixel-related concerns related to sharpness or text clarity on this model. If you come across a different type of panel or your AOC 24G2 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know, and we'll update the review. Note that some tests, like gray uniformity, may vary between individual units.The average static contrast with only brightness adjusted was 1332:1, comfortably exceeding the specified 1000:1. Just a touch weaker than we recorded on our older 24G2(U) unit, but very respectable for an IPS-type panel. The maximum contrast recorded was a rather impressive 1483:1, whilst 1300:1 was recorded under our ‘Test Settings’ which is pleasing. Even with the strongest LBL setting (‘LowBlue Mode = Reading’) contrast didn’t fall much below that. The highest white luminance recorded was 422 cd/m² whilst the lowest white luminance recorded was 108 cd/m². The maximum here is rather bright and comfortably exceeds the specified 350 cd/m², but the minimum is rather high and will be too much for some users particularly in dimmer conditions. It will hit the ‘sweet spot’ for most people in a range of lighting conditions as it’s usual for monitors to be set somewhere between 100 – 200 cd/m², but a lower minimum would’ve been preferred. I probably look very dumb to some people here but bare in mind I'm not really a tech guy and I was gaming on a TV since I was 13 so I had 0 knowledge about monitors. At 165Hz with MBR active, above, strobe crosstalk position is similar. It’s also a bit bolder and just below centre it’s almost as bold as the object itself. Some may prefer to run at a lower refresh rate, particularly 120Hz, due to the somewhat fainter strobe crosstalk. Though we found the moderate strobe crosstalk ‘noticeable’ regardless and there are some other factors to consider, as explored shortly.
