Excellent colors and if you are into that, the monitor is extremely bright. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that you will get the first version of the display.
@@gurra1359 as mentioned above, shouldn't do so. Settings mentioned din this video - other than that, not much more I can help; ultimately I'm not tech support :)
Hey Chris. So I have an AOC 27G2U monitor, and I was wondering if I can use a hydraulic press on it to make it curved and transform it into the AOC C27G2U model? Can you go try this out? I'm LITERALLY dying to know how it goes.
Can confirm, the IPS is much much better. I have literally 2 of them, one broke, I bought the VA, changing it now for the IPS again so I can have 2 again. It's just much much better user experience overall.
Is response time and input lag of this monitor and c27g1 noticeably or just slightly worse than 24g2u but still very playable? And Btw how is the curve? Is it super immersive or i can just go with 24g2u(flat ips) knowing that im not missing much with the flat panel? I would like to get curved display but if its bad then no no.
I think this one is way better, I switched from flat to curved, and it's no difference, but there is difference between VA and IPS panel. And I wouldn't recommend IPS over VA, for gaming purposes only. Especially competitive gaming. Since it has better contrast than IPS panel too, and VA is faster than IPS. Actually it's sweet spot between TN with bad colors but fast, and IPS good colors but slow. But I personally never saw this one particular IPS panel, myself, so I can't say for sure. Also, consider that C27G2U (VA panel) is one year younger than 27G2U (IPS). It should be better in any way. I am in doubt, myself. Just buying now, and can't decide between these two. Also there is C27G2ZU which is same VA panel but with 240Hz and 0.5ms. Also 35 euros more expensive.
Can’t decide should I get this one or as you said his sibling 😩😩 The problem is that the 24G2AE (IPS) etc. will be available from March and the C model with the VA panel is ready to pick up
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this particular version of monitor is the updated version of the c24g1, also a curved va panel monitor by aoc a couple of years before. That has 4ms of input lag, and so does the ips variant of this monitor, the c24g2u. I would find it hard to believe that the updated version of the c24g1 would have more input lag? Especially considering literally every thing else is the same, apart from the 165hz. Perhaps it is a placebo effect that you think the input lag is lower, as I have this monitor and find no problem with input lag
@@TotallydubbedHD oh okay thanks for clearing that up. So are you saying that the c24g2u curved (in this video) is the same performance as the curved c24g1 input lag wise, but the ips model has different performance? Maybe less input lag?
Could you please tell me the difference between the 24g2u and the 24g2ae I can't find a difference other othen the stand (which does not matter since a want a monitor arm)

Cheers mate!
In this range, what is the best monitor for gaming? Comparing with every brand (asus, benq)? The IPS version of this one? Or would you recommend anything else?
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks, I'm tempted to buy it. However, I wanted a QHD monitor to be "future proof", is there a QHD 144hz 24" version of the IPS one? Or do you know a monitor that would fit my requirements?
@@antoniojfpinheiro well, that's different. As said to another person literally moments ago in these comments: "Depends on your budget; if it's infinite (doesn't need to be), then the Acer XF270HUA and BenQ EX2780Q are my picks. More of a list, here: th-cam.com/video/t4OMHOsYlY8/w-d-xo.html "
Noobie question. Is there any advantage in using a hdmi 2.0 cable instead of a 1.4 one in this monitor which has a 1.4 port? Like would the extra gbps actually increase the video quality and overdrive performance? Thanks in advance.
this or msi g241 for competetive gaming ? my friend told me that activating the 1ms reduce brightness, all i care about is Colors quality , and performance (1ms) what you thing !
Hey, there are 2 different versions of the AOC C24G2U. The first is which you have shown in the video with 165Hz,1080p, VA-Panel. But theres also one 24G2U/BK which is flat instead of curved, 144HZ And has an IPS-Panel instead of an VA Panel like that you show in this video. Which one of that both would you recommend and do i have any advantage due to an IPS?
@@timprox1371 Bro I've tried several monitors during that time including the AOC 24G2U/BK but I think it was not bright enough. In the end I chose BENQ EX2510 and its perfect for me.
Hello! Does this monitor have sharpness settings? Or modes in which the picture becomes sharper? This is a very important option for me! Thanks for the monitor review!
i was thinking of getting the ips one instead of this one, but the store i was getting it from had a 31% sale on the 24g2su/bk. i did have a low budget and never experienced 165 instead of 144 so i chose for this one. do you think its worth? ps: what does "su" in 24g2su/bk stand for?
Hey I have seen your video and the comments about getting this monitor or the 24g2u and you always recommend the 24g2u. But I do not see why if the curved one has va panel which is better in theory than an ips on terms of saturation and more hz. Could you explain me a little bit. Thanks.
I've explained it in this video that the IPS is more responsive and more colours accurate; not really sure what more there is to add. Get the IPS model.
@@TotallydubbedHD Sorry bro I did not saw complete the video at the time I wrote that. I wanna try out a curved VA panel since the way better blacks and whites for a bit less color accuracy attracts me but you said the response time was way worse than the ips so I searched for another monitors and I found this one Acer ED270RPbiipx and this one MSI Optix MAG271CQR . What are your thoughts on them? Thanks
@@TotallydubbedHD yeah, I got the monitor today and I was just wondering when I move my screen fast or look around the corner of walls or rooms and bushes in games, they blur and become darker, is it a setting i can change on the monitor or is it just the monitor itself (VA Monitor)
Is C24G2U better panel than C24G1? Better image quality? I don't care about Hz. I need good quality 24 inch VA panel and there are very few models to choose from. For better color accuracy should I buy G2U or G1 or something else? I need VA because I have also OLED so IPS blacks looks really bad to me now.

think i will definitely buy this monitor since it is on a black friday sale here in Croatia for 1400HRK(185€). + great thing is that the monitor has built in speakers so i can get rid of my old ones so i can make more space on my desk.

Hey, i got this monitor 1 week ago and its kind of blurry compared with my other monitor. Do you know what causes it to be slightly blurry?
No idea, Windows scaling?
Try turning on overdrive mode. It should help. Also free sync is an option though it may increase input lag
It’s not blurry for me
Did you find a solution? Just bought the monitor and looks blurry to me aswell.
I wish it had a color calibration profile available as this is a great monitor not only for gaming, but also non-critical color works.
Fair enough!
Would you recommend the benq zowie xl2411p or this one?
Neither, the AOC 24G2U, as mentioned.
In this range, what is the best monitor for gaming? Comparing with every brand (asus, benq)? The IPS version of this one? Or would you recommend anything else?
Yup, the IPS model, listed in the description :)
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks, I'm tempted to buy it. However, I wanted a QHD monitor to be "future proof", is there a QHD 144hz 24" version of the IPS one? Or do you know a monitor that would fit my requirements?

Hey, there are 2 different versions of the AOC C24G2U. The first is which you have shown in the video with 165Hz,1080p, VA-Panel. But theres also one 24G2U/BK which is flat instead of curved, 144HZ And has an IPS-Panel instead of an VA Panel like that you show in this video. Which one of that both would you recommend and do i have any advantage due to an IPS?
Did you watch the video?
So you would choose the IPS panel, flat Version instead of the 165hz curved VA-Panel?

ps: what does "su" in 24g2su/bk stand for?
Hey I have seen your video and the comments about getting this monitor or the 24g2u and you always recommend the 24g2u. But I do not see why if the curved one has va panel which is better in theory than an ips on terms of saturation and more hz. Could you explain me a little bit. Thanks.
I've explained it in this video that the IPS is more responsive and more colours accurate; not really sure what more there is to add. Get the IPS model.
@@TotallydubbedHD Sorry bro I did not saw complete the video at the time I wrote that. I wanna try out a curved VA panel since the way better blacks and whites for a bit less color accuracy attracts me but you said the response time was way worse than the ips so I searched for another monitors and I found this one Acer ED270RPbiipx and this one MSI Optix MAG271CQR .

@@jamier2211 overdrive settings, presume you saw my segment on it?
Is C24G2U better panel than C24G1? Better image quality? I don't care about Hz. I need good quality 24 inch VA panel and there are very few models to choose from. For better color accuracy should I buy G2U or G1 or something else? I need VA because I have also OLED so IPS blacks looks really bad to me now.
