AOC C24G1 23.6" Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor, FHD 1920x1080, 1500R, VA, 1ms MPRT, 144Hz, FreeSync, DisplayPort/HDMI/VGA, Height Adjustable, VESA

Comment

I bought the 31.5, curved 1440p, 144Hz panel. I really like the large curved screen, high resolution, and frame rate. I use the monitor for gaming and 3D modeling. The thin bezel is very nice, as well as the muted colors. Im not a fan of super flashy monitors so this one is a nice balance as far as design goes. The stand is not height adjustable but I plan on using the available vesa mount in the future. I have a GTX 1080, and have yet to test the freesync compatibility, but so far it appears to be working! I will edit this review once ive had a chance to play a game using a high frame rate, and see if the monitor frames are syncing with the graphics card...Now for the critical stuff: the monitor came with one dead pixel and one bright dot pixel. I was able to activate the dead pixel by pressing on it, but not the bright dot. Im gonna live with the one bright dot seeing as how they allow just one with their warranty...I dont notice it anyway, really had to search hard for it. Theres a little bit of back light noticeable on very dark and very light colors, but its not that bad and to be expected with a monitor this large and at the lower price range. Another issue is color banding, gradients have very noticeable color banding. I messed with the settings for hours to try and improve this, as well as the settings with my graphics card. Im certainly no expert on tuning graphics cards and monitors but it cannot be fixed from what Ive gathered. I looked at every other screen I could find and now I see color banding everywhere I look. Its kind of a curse actually, I wish I would have never noticed it. Wish there was a solution for this. Overall great monitor that I will keep for years.

Wow! I plugged this in and hooked it up and went straight into Warframe at max settings and I was completely blown away! But, thats enough about me dying in my game. I got the 24" AOC monitor because first I trust the brand. Always high quality and durable. Ive never personally owned an AOC but I always use them at work. They always have a high quality display that sets themselves above their counterparts. Having a daisy chain capability was a priority to me as Ill be running these off of my ASUS ROG gaming laptop and it only has 1 hdmi port. Going from a 17.5" laptop screen size the to the 24" is obviously a huge step up. I toyed with the idea of going three 27" but the real estate on my desktop wouldnt allow it, but can be accomplished with three 24". I got one today and the other 2 come in Tuesday. Why one monitor was overnighted from Indiana and the other 2 shipped from Georgia to arrive several days later is beyond me. Anyways, the monitor is plug and play. I adjusted the graphical setting using my Nvidia control panel in about 5 minutes. After tweaking the settings through Nvidia, I was immediately a changed man! The clarity and definition is beyond what I expected and the entire framework of the monitor is heavy duty aluminum. There is a considerable amount of weight in the base that leaves me with the utmost confidence in its stability and support. Simple touch to raise and lower and great tilting abilities adds to the charm of the monitor. There are 2 HDMI ports in the back and also an audio out 3.5mm port. In addition there is a newer style HDMI port that allows you to daisy chain. Packaging includes the monitor, the base, the stand, 1 HDMI cable, 1 power cord and 1 of those new style HDMI cables. (I cant remember the name of that port and cable because its 3am and Im about 4 hours past my bedtime and my wife is out cold next to me on the bed snoring like a freaking freight train). Anyways, I was so excited about getting this 1st monitor that I dont know how Im going to contain myself until Tuesday to get the other 2 monitors. Im probably going to have to go to the local psychiatric clinic due to my brain stem choking off my blood supply to my head due to the excitement which will cause a head explosion leading to brain stuff draining out of my nostrils. Ill be sure to add photos and video of the monitors after I get the rest in and hooked up in gameplay. I will definitely buy these again for my wife if she stops snoring and gets that fixed. Extremely satisfied customer and I would definitely recommend to anyone!

The underlying product is a (S)VA panel. +Good color and contrast (not quite as pronounced as my other VA panel, but easily matches/exceeds my IPS panel). +Good viewing angles: vertical is forgiving, about 90-degrees horizontal (+/- 45-degrees off center) without issue. =New to the design but not sold on curved panels. Great experience gaming, but still awkward for Office/CAD work. -This display supports sub-pixel illumination which can result in artifacts on fine features (especially text) -Recessed monitor mounting plate and large release button immediate below make this display annoying to mount with VESA compatible mounts. Still workable, Ive taken to throwing away the stand before ever using it. -I ordered a replacement, Im 2/2 panels with dead pixels in the upper left corner area (within 2 weeks of ownership). One panel would have been unlucky, two is a strong indication that the processing on these monitors is fundamentally flawed (read insanely unlucky). No comment on stand performance as per the aforementioned. Caveat Emptor: Expect pixels to die on these monitors almost immediately.

I bought this for my daughters system, I built for her about a year ago. She was playing on an MSI AG32C, which is a great high sync monitor but is only 1080P. I wanted another high sync 32" monitor, and wanted the same quality as the MSI, but didnt want to spend the same amount as a 4K. I bought this AOC after reading the reviews, and must admit that its really a great monitor! Has an excellent sharp picture, and goes to 144Hz (which I have all the game settings to use 2560 x 1440 @ 120hz). Battlefield 1 & 5 look great! An excellent monitor for the price!

I have a few firsts with this monitor, 1440P, VA, Curved, Freesync, 31.5". Coming from a AOC 1080P 27" 144hz monitor, I really liked it less the contrast issues of a TN panel. I also had the beef to move up to 1440P at this time. Out of the box this monitor scared me, imo you cannot use the OOB settings. VA white to black refresh colors react slower but with better contrast, just scrolling up and down in a browser the text would dim and get fuzzy until I stopped and then it took a fraction of a second to get solid for reading. This was really odd an annoying, however one of the reason I got this monitor was for the performance mode, so I quickly started messing with settings. With any monitor I get Im heading into settings to get the brightness, contrast, colors as right as I can. This one just a little extra. So here are the setting I came up with to make it work great via desktop or in game: Luminance: Contrast 45 Brightness 35 Eco Mode Standard Gamma 3 DCR Off Color Normal Game Settings: Game Mode Off Shadow Control 50 Low Input Lag On (On for desktop work, Off for in game, less lag much smoother, yes Off here per manual and it feels correct) Game Color 10 LowBlue Internet Override STRONG (For Desktop Work. Off for in Game, only setting when Lag is set off) Freesync On Doing this toggle and tweaking in the Nvidia Control panel color settings some, Ive been able to get the monitor to work and look great in all modes. Contrast is great and moving your head around doesnt change contrast like it does with a TN panel. This is a real step up from TN. The curve screen I could do without, to me it brings little, in fact vertical lines near the edges get a keystone type of feel going on, it isnt keystone for real, but an effect the curve brings. In the future I will give curve screens 0 points, Id be just as happy with a flat screen. The Freesync was already chosen in the Nvidia panel which is a brand new feature, like one week old. Good to see it recognized all on its own. Ill do some reading to make sure it is actually working well. With 144hz screen tearing isnt a thing anymore, so going by that in my tests (Is Freesync working?) doesnt tell me for certain. Even though I feel I got everything I need out of it, looking and performing well, I ended up with a 4 star score because there is no manual, there isnt anything telling you about the settings. I know what I was seeing at first and I knew I had to fix it immediately or return the product, so I went through all the settings until I found the ones I needed to fix. I did, but I do wonder how many people get one of these and think "OMG VA sucks!" and returns it? EDIT: This monitor puzzles me and 1/2 me wants to return it. I can get ideal conditions, but there are two settings I have to toggle in-game and out-of-game, the problem is I have to go into settings each time and make a change, also there isnt a way to save the presets. I updated the settings above to match this edit. So I dropped two stars since I believe you need to toggle this often for best results.

UPDATE: My monitor has had two more dead pixels crop up. AOC support said that this isnt covered by their pixel warranty. I was told all three pixels had to be side by side to be covered. Pretty disappointed with preordering this. ————— I upgraded from a 1920x1080 60hz monitor. I mostly play games. The curved screen is novel feeling, but doesnt really add much to my gameplay. 144hz didnt seem like a big deal until I set it back down to 60hz, at which point I realized how wrong I was living my life. The adjustable stand is quite convenient. Good range of both vertical and horizontal tilt as well as height adjustment. Also has a nice hole in the neck for cable management. Considering all that, its quite unfortunate that yesterday it developed a dead pixel in the upper left quadrant. Ive contacted AOC about getting a fix and Ill update this review with my results. In conclusion the monitor is good if you want to hit that 144hz and try a curved monitor out, but YMMV.

I was searching a new monitor that has 144 hz and a big screen like 32 inch. If you looking for 32 you dont have too many option if you dont want to pay high prices. So i saw this new aoc c32g1 and price was okay for a brand new monitor. This one is really came out lately and you cant see a proper review. So i hope this will help you. İt came with a huge box thanks to its curve, i set up and look for a dead pixels, it has none. The monitor is too big that i couldnt guess so it stands big on my table. İt has vesa so i can mount the wall later. Curve level is well adjusted and its not disturb when you look far, and when you are playing games it feels nice. No commend for 144hz, if you used to 60 hz before, you definetly will notice the speed. You need to do some adjustment for color qualify, because it comes bad color setting out of box. One thing i tought it has a pivot feature like c24g1 or c27g1 but its not, you can just tilt the monitor and its a dissapointing for me. Another thing is using windows on 32 inch 1080p, well.. very bad. You need some time for get used to. Overall the price what you get is very well i like it a lot, thanks to amazon they help me to receive it nice as always. Pros: +Brand new +VA panel +Curved +Nice desing +144 hz +Vesa +Nice picture quality Cons: -No pivot -Texture quality badc(for 32 inch 1080p its normal) -No built in speaker

Got this monitor as a replacement for an HP Pavillon 32”. Was mostly interested in the high refresh rate as Xbox one x now supports 2k @ 120hz. Was only able to do 1080p @ 120hz and 2k @ 60hz. Additionally the monitor came with some minor damage to the screen which looks like it occurred in it production. There was a dead pixel or two that I noticed and when I ran my finger over it I realized that there was a palpable, very fine hole directly over the dead pixels. Strange. Other than the small damage. The monitor performed okay. Just did not fulfill my needs.

Beautiful design, love the curve, thin bezel is really nice too, and 144hz refresh is good and has low input lag. The picture quality is pretty good for the price too. I mainly play Fortnite and this monitor has greatly improved my gameplay with peaking, reactions, etc. I would suggest this gaming monitor to anyone.
