AOC 24G2 24"

The AOC 24G2 is the best budget gaming monitor available. It offers smooth performance, a great image quality, plenty of useful features, and excellent design quality. All that for a very appealing price.

The AOC C24G1 is still a great budget gaming monitor in its own right – especially if you want that elegant curve – but in terms of overall value for money, the 24G2U gives you more functionality and a better, more accurate panel for virtually the same amount of money. The C24G1 had a good innings on my best gaming monitor list, but now the best budget FreeSync spot belongs to its flat, 24G2U sibling.

So, would I put one on my desk? Definitely. It’s such a great experience to use and game on, so it really isn’t a hard decision for me there. Would I recommend it to you? Well, i think that’s pretty obvious, yes.

So, if you're looking for a good monitor for your Xbox One or for your gaming PC that has all the features of a premium monitor, just a little stripped down (but you're not going to miss if you just want a strong monitor in the base?), then this is your monitor and you have to use it too eker!

The AOC 24G2U provides some solid gaming features and great colour accuracy for a reasonable price.

If you want to be in the ringside for a dime, you can't do much better than with the AOC 24G2U. The brightness in the dark is too high, so a lamp as a backlight is a good idea, and the viewing angles are unworthy of an ips panel - but otherwise just about everything beats this screen. Response times, color rendition and color range, calibration and uniformity, absent backlight bleeding and clouding: the quality offered is significantly higher than you'd expect for this price.

The AOC 24G2U is a fantastic gaming monitor if you consider its very palatable price and what it offers. The 144Hz IPS panel offers decent motion handling, but it excels in both contrast and color rendering. Games will look vibrant but well-balanced, giving you the best of both worlds which used to come at a hefty price.

An accomplished product with vibrant and varied colour output, pleasing contrast and responsiveness for an IPS-type panel and very attractive pricing.

AOC do a fantastic job with their budget gaming monitors. I said it before with the G1 and I will definitely say it again with the AOC 24G2U. Go get one. If you’re on a budget, but want the best performance you could possibly get, then the AOC 24G2U would be the monitor for you. It’s got a fantastic refresh rate and response time, and colours are hugely vivid and make your games look super sharp.
