Reviews around price (4.59 of 5)

  • Am gonna say this again buy this monitor is the best monitor for Gaming 144hz and the price is insane.
  • Great monitor for a great price, can't go wrong with this one
  • I bought this from my local computer store (MicroCenter) instead of Amazon due to the ridiculous prices here.
  • AOC 24G2 is a great monitor if (1) you luck out in the panel lottery, or (2) you're willing to overlook dead subpixels and/or glaring uniformity issues for the cheap price tag.tl;dr2
  • Was unsure about purchasing this Monitor, but it had the specs I wanted for a great price

Reviews around color (4.42 of 5)

  • It's a good picture, accurate enough colors, and out of the box I was happy with the settings
  • You absolutely MUST turn bright frame on at 100, or else you get this smeary effect on dark colors
  • I'd be genuinely surprised if it was able to produce deep dark colors accurately
  • This monitor is an excellent choice for color as well; colors are vibrant and the blacks are very dark
  • Has a little backlight bleed but its fine, nice colors once you adjust them to your prefrence.

Reviews around picture (4.41 of 5)

  • I dont mean that it's unusable at 20 percent, I mean brightness maxed out, picture settings adjusted, gaming modes, the monitor is ridiculously dim
  • good size great quality and most important great picture
  • It's not too bad for normal office type work, but it looks absolutely horrible in a dark room with a dark picture on the screen, which is common in gaming.
  • My second con is that there is no joystick to change/calibrate the monitor, it has its buttons on the bottom to navigate, which was sort of disappointing considering my previous monitor had it, but had worse picture and build quality than this one
  • good picture out of the box, great picture once calibrated.

Reviews around value (4.34 of 5)

  • Great value for the money for a non-gamer doing normal business things
  • Watching videos that have any dark values in it, there’s a significant dip in the quality
  • Otherwise, it's fairly good and a great value at the time of writing this
  • It's great it had some minor backlight bleed definitely not as severe as
  • (I can only notice it off-axis), so I think it's definitely a great value

Reviews around quality (4.26 of 5)

  • I was honestly expecting a bad quality monitor because of its price but this monitor could be easily competing with those $250+ monitors
  • This AOC monitor is a much sharper and higher quality display and the higher refresh rate is great
  • I think it is awesome easy to install and good quality zero dead pixcel and good packaging
  • This monitor is AMAZING the quality for the price is crazy
  • I arrived with dead pixels and the company AOC has not answered anything at all, apart the quality when the screen is black is horrible

Reviews around stand (4.16 of 5)

  • I am planning on switching to a dual monitor stand, but for now, this stand is great
  • The stand is great as it is very easily adjustable and reliable
  • I highly recommend this for people who want a 144hz IPS monitor, especially if you need a solid adjustable height stand.
  • It's great it had some minor backlight bleed definitely not as severe as
  • Only complaint:Since it is a curved screen, the stand will not rotate 90 degrees

Reviews around gaming (4.14 of 5)

  • If you're looking for a great 1080p gaming monitor, the AOC 24G2 is for you
  • Excellent gaming monitor and works well for casual use also
  • Being a VA panel, gaming can produce slight image blur or ghosting; however, AOC has done great work refining the technology and this limitation is absolutely minimal
  • Great Gaming monitor looks amazing and really great for the price
  • Admittedly, all of the built-in presets for gaming look pretty awful

Reviews around sync (3.91 of 5)

  • The monitor has adaptive sync capabilities and works with gsync perfectly.
  • If you are trying to use g-sync with the adaptive sync, unfortunately this will cause brightness flickering which is very painful on the eyes
  • It has free sync but unfortunately is not gsync compatible
  • but I hope it’s problems from bad chinese usb C to displayport cable products
  • An amazing value ultrawide monitor that was unusable due to the widely reported G-sync flickering issue that would become progressively worse while in-game

Reviews around curve (3.87 of 5)

  • I had been under the impression that the curve was a gimmick, but I can say confidently that it isn't
  • Looks great, I was expecting the curve to be a lot more annoying than actually it is (still getting used to it tho).
  • Great Monitor has a really nice curve but make sure you shut off freesync it sucks and makes the game feel laggy and behind.
  • When moving, things on the screen will leave behind a purple shadow for a moment.- Built in game mode profiles are all overly bright, grainy, or extremely dark.- Curve is a gimmick
  • The monitor has great articulation for the price point, and though I wasn't sure I'd like the curve, I don't have an issue with it

Reviews around product (3.69 of 5)

  • Great product for exactly what it is, 6 or more months after you’ll want to upgrade in hz, as well resolution.
  • For me a gamer this product is fine just the way it is with no tuning
  • Highly recommend this product esspically if its at the 145 dollar price point
  • Needless to say, I will never buy another product from AOC unless it is absolutely necessary, I am talking that "My entire life wont work, unless I have this product" type of situation
  • The same flickering that this supposedly "flicker free" product was supposed to not have

  • I got this mid June, and by august the screen was messed up
  • Screen could be a little brighter but great for the price

Reviews around light (2.73 of 5)

  • Monitor is great overall except for 1 issue, the back-light bleed
  • , bad white light bleed through all through the monitor
  • For what you get this is an awesome deal 1440p 21:9 @144hz with g-sync that works flawlessly
  • I was also shocked that this monitor had no problem running g-sync fresh out of the box with my rtx 2070 super

Reviews around ghost (2.16 of 5)

  • There was no dead pixel or significant ghosting that will impact game play
  • I was also shocked that this monitor had no problem running g-sync fresh out of the box with my rtx 2070 super
  • One of the things I'm sure all of the gamers want to know is how bad the ghosting is
  • They look much better than my custom setting, but my custom setting has much less ghosting/smearing/trailing, thus I have to use Custom for games, and ironically, can only use "Gamer 2 and 3" on desktop

Reviews around aoc (2.11 of 5)

  • I was very lucky and was able to snag a AOC CU34G2X for $450.00 here on Amazon brand new (using a Radeon VII).
  • This monitor was to replace a different 32 inch AOC monitor that I broke.
  • Being a VA panel, gaming can produce slight image blur or ghosting; however, AOC has done great work refining the technology and this limitation is absolutely minimal
  • My particular sample arrived with zero dead or stuck pixels (kudos @AOC)
  • Several dead pixels and AOC refuses to honor their 'Re-spawned' warranty

Reviews around bleed (2.05 of 5)

  • The white wasn't really white in the bottom left corner, and the backlight bleeding in the bottom right corner was bad enough it was visible under overhead light
  • Display colors are decent, only minor backlight bleed, which you can't find a monitor without
  • I would have kept this monitor if not for its AWFUL backlight bleed!
  • Zero dead pixels and no major noticeable backlight bleed
  • It is a shame because I have zero dead pixels or much backlight bleeding, if those dark bands weren't there, I would keep it.

  • This thing is beautiful idk why I was doubted this because of a couple bad reviews, but this thing looks amazing
  • As for the PROS, it is just as repetitive as the other reviews out there
  • My only guess around negative reviews is that those individuals received a defective/less than optimal unit
  • After following the guidance of the top reviews on here and changing the display settings, the screen is now very clear and great for gaming, streaming, and browsing alike
