Glad to see them still killing it in the budget space. Not sure how they even keep on doing it lol. Great review as always.
Agreed, they're dong a great job; good performance at a budget, which is basically a product for the masses! And thank you, I appreciate the support :)
Awesome. I have a 3x 24" 1080p monitor setup. Tried to upgrade to a 27" 1440p as my main monitor because everybody is simping about that "sweet spot", but couldn't get used to the higher PPI. 32" would take too much space. 24" 1080p is my personal sweet spot I guess. I will instead combine this one with my two 24G2SPU monitors.
Nice review man But Which is better in your opinion This aoc or Philips 24m2n3200s As i am concerned about aoc colours there are a lot of reviews saying it has bad colours Thanks in advance ❤
I have Philips 24m2n3200s tho and by far one of the best monitors i have ever had for image quality and the bleeding is acceptable But unfortunately it has dead pixels so i am replacing it with the IOC
Hi, I was watching the motion clarity part of the video, and to me it looked like the monitor kept going from a pink tint to a blue tint whilst you were playing csgo - very noticeable from 5:40 to 5:56, is there a reasson for that?
@@TotallydubbedHD Hello thanks for the reply. Ahhh that makes sense, I'm familar with Zowie's Dyac MBR technique. Is the MBR on the AOC noticeable to the human eye? I know that some people are affected by MBR at lower refresh rates and it can give them headaches, and other problems - was curious about that.
@@shadesofdarkness7136 it isn't, at least wasn't to me! And indeed some people are sensitive to it, while a very few actually offer it at 60Hz, but that's too me unusable lol
hi bro thanks for ur review, i wanna ask u abt the colors people in reddit said that white is annoying. it looks purpleish or pinkish. did u have the same problem ?
Hello , and thank you for this review. I had 24g2sp, and i loved it, and now I'm going to upgrade to aoc 27g4. Is it worth it ? + i found msi g27cx4 250 hrz at same price
Thanks a lot for the review, are the white also that harsh in real life or is it simply the filming device who has difficult to capture the white light ? i really like my AOC 24G2U but recently tested the 24G2SPAE and it hurted my eyes like hell due to the white colors being that hard. So seeing your video i am asking myself if the white colors issue on the 24G2SPAE does also exist on that one. Many thanks for your advice.
Great review. I'm new to monitors so I'm wondering if I should buy the 24" or 27" variant. Is there a significant difference in the clarity of the screen for 1080p panels? Some said 1080p on a 27" looks pixel-ish but idk how bad it is.
@@nightstalker5638 thanks, glad you enjoyed it! As for your question: it's subjective, some people prefer a larger screen others smaller, but the 24" will give you better pixel density thus won't look as pixelated.
really hope theyre cooking up some more 24-25 inch 1440p-4k high refresh rate options like the q24g2, love this new design as well, q24g2 stand is way too deep, new design is much nicer imo with this monitor, would personally love to see some 24.5 inch options.
@@TotallydubbedHD 1440p is very good but I don't think 4k is useless at that size, I personally want more then 1440p but there is no such thing as 1800p either so it's only 4k, I agree that it is in the diminishing returns territory but still.
Hey, I can’t decide between msi g244f e2 and this one, I have a ten year old 75 hz monitor so any of them would be amazing for me. Also I saw another one on your channel 24 inch 2k AOC, pixel density was great. Which one would be the best choice? I won’t play at 1440p but I want a brilliant picture quality for the price especially when I’m watching videos or if I want to play games (mostly RTS or simulation games at 1080p).
Not tried the other so can't comment, but I would suggest 1440p if plausible! You can always run 1440p but at lower graphics, depending on your GPU that is.
I just build my forst pc and got this monitor. I set it to 6hz and pretty much left everything else as is. The screen seems a tiny bit "fuzzy" noticed it when watching youtube videos. What settings should i change to have the screen be "sharper"?
What's your opinion about this monitor and the viewsonic vx2428j? I'm totally confused between this one and viewsonic vx2428j, and i really don't know which one should i buy!
What do you think is better, more responsive and have less latency: AOC 25G3ZM/BK with a 240Hz VA or AOC 24G4X with 180Hz IPS? Personally I kinda like VA panels usually because of their better and more uniform blacks and higher contrast, but I also see that as a rule they have more problems with motion smearing and/or overdrive artefacts. So these problems of each tech somewhat cancel each other out for me, I know that I have to deal with one or another set of problems depending on the panel I choose, so for me it's down to input lag and overall response times and my gut tells me that a 240Hz panel should be a bit better in this regard than a 180Hz panel. What do you think, am I right in assuming this?
I'd suggest watching my review of the 240Hz, but ultimately if you're a hardcore gamer and have the budget, as per this review, I'd suggest that instead. Have you watched both reviews before commenting?
@@TotallydubbedHD Yeah, sure I watched both reviews. But it's hard to make my mind when both reviews are positive and both monitors are recommended by you (and other reviewers). The price is more or less identical where I live. So I thought it's better to ask directly which one is ultimately better.

Good question, can be confusing. Adaptive Sync is the umbrella term, which includes FreeSync and G-Sync. As this monitor is G-Sync compatible, it's not plastered with AMD certifications.

Basically I get these weird brightness flickers, mostly during loading screens or while in the main menu, not consistently though, it's super random. I already tried changing the DP cable but no luck, and it doesn't happen on my other monitor so I don't think it's a GPU issue. I was wondering if you might know what could be going on?
Well it's not a G-Sync monitor, so it might or might not work on your setup. Seems like it's the latter. And presume you don't have two monitors connected at once? As that sometimes can lead to issues on non-Gsync monitors
@@TotallydubbedHD yeah, I have a dual monitor setup, both of them should have adaptive sync though. Would I be better off disabling adaptive sync all together then?
@@TastyJambon but they don't have G-Sync, which was my original point. So likely it's causing problems. If you disable it, you shouldn't have any more issues.

@@TotallydubbedHD sorry for bothering you, but how are the viewing angles? Because I've seen some users on reddit saying it gets quite dark. From the video they look fine but it might be the camera giving different results, thanks in advance.
@@TotallydubbedHD one cord goes in the wall and in the monitor from the right side, and the DP (or HDMI) from the monitor to the PC, right? Or am I missing something?
In display settings when choosing refresh rate in your video i only saw 2 options: 180 and 144 Hz. Is it possible to chose even lower refresh rate, like 75 or 100? I have an older gpu so i'm not sure will it be capable of rendering 144 Hz and more
If it's not shown then it might not be possible. However, what you've described - you should always set it to maximum even if you can't output those frames.
hello i rly like ur videos and ur efforts to answer every comment i hope u can help me im on the edge abt the aoc 27g4 (not g4x in my country) and the only this this far that still makes me look at other monitors is it has no speakers so would u recommend it or ASUS TUF Gaming VG279Q3A for example?

@@mohamedhassan-qg7vf I can't comment about the other monitor as I've not tried it, my verdict about this and its variants is shared in the video. For you to make the decision.
II have a question.. In the section where it addresses motion clarity (PC) it states that it is subpar at low frequencies... can I deduce that on a Ps5 that runs at 60 hz then the motion clarity will also be of lower quality?.. .this then indicates that the monitor is not the best budget choice for console gamers because a significant part of the games are at 60 hz.
Good question. To be honest, motion clarity at 60Hz on pretty much any monitor isn't the best vs higher refresh rates. So, I wouldn't discount this monitor for that reason alone; I don't game on console though, so can't say if this or another would be the best pick for your needs.
@@TotallydubbedHD I understand..im just trying to replace my monitor to Play a 60 HZ game (EA FC 24 and EA FC 25 is coming tomorrow )..so im trying to find a good one that has good perfomance to give equal chances (or better ones because i compete in pro clubs for a pro team) Ps- and of course to play 120 hz shooter to relax and improve my reactions. I thought buying a 1440p monitor but some colegues just said isnt worth it.
@@TotallydubbedHD i know but my team mates told me that a 1080p game on a 1440p display doesnt look good because of scaling? resolution ratios something like that.
heyy, i'm thinking of getting a monitor for my lenovo legion gaming laptop. would you recommend this monitor? i wanna get a 144hz+ monitor (my laptop runs 120hz) in case I wanna upgrade to a desktop. but I want to be able to put the monitor to 120hz. would you recommend this one :)?
Yup should be good! Just double check the connections from your laptop to the monitor - see a video on it in the description for more info. And don't know why you'd limit it to 120hz, don't do that.
@@TotallydubbedHD I play fps games like cs:go and valorant and some other games there would be about 1.3 ms between 180hz and 240hz can I notice this difference
@@TotallydubbedHD I understand what re u saying..and after watching countless reviews i understand that but what i detected is that some older models were faster at this refresh rate... i have 2 monitors (benq zowie 2455t and ASUS TUF Gaming VG249Q1A and for this last one the input lag is 8.5 ms and total response time is 10.6 ms ) source rtings. I was searching for a 27 inches monitor to play Ps5 (at 60 and 120 hz)and watch movies and shows.. and for now i dont think there exists a good monitor (ips/VA) that will do that.

Is that corect ?
I just got this monitor and cant figure out how to get 180hz. I think I need to change the DP capability in the settings, but that setting is greyed out. So does that mean I need to use the display port connection because right now I have HDMI 2.1 and can only get a 120hz refresh rate. Also I am connecting to this monitor from an MSI gf63 gaming laptop which I dont believe has a display port connection, only HDMI. So if I get a display port to HDMI cable will that also give me 180hz refresh rate or is it even possible with my laptop?
It's likely the HDMI version of the port of your laptop is old, see my video on the deception about HDMI and DP for more info. A DP to HDMI isn't going to solve it either.
Please help me, just bought it 2 days ago and suddenly I can see horizontal lines at the bottom for 2 seconds, they stop for 1 second and then appear again. Check different power cable, DisplayPort all good. Nothing like this on my old monitor, anyone?
@@TotallydubbedHD The 'X' model also includes a second HDMI 2.0 port and 2 x 2W speakers. Plus lacks any red accents (including at the rear). It also has a reworked OSD and features MPRT Sync (Adaptive-Sync + strobe backlight simultaneously) Did you choose the 24g4x version?
Great to see MBR Sync on budget displays. Philips recently added it too. Most likely same implementation. Would of been nice to see some pursuit shots of it at work. In case u're interested, for proper VRR testing Smooth Frog needs to be used as TestUFO can only do fixed refresh rate and all the VRR strobing implementations we have today look very different in the two cases. E.g. 120Hz at 120fps vs 180Hz at VRR 120fps. Interestingly Nvidia' G-SYNC overdrive also behaves very different.
Indeed, great to see. As it is, reviews take a very long time to do and the work that goes in is barely appreciated. Not going to add more work to my plate, as I'm currently very happy with the level of detail that's provided.

@@TotallydubbedHD yeah, I have a dual monitor setup, both of them should have adaptive sync though. Would I be better off disabling adaptive sync all together then?
@@TastyJambon but they don't have G-Sync, which was my original point. So likely it's causing problems. If you disable it, you shouldn't have any more issues.

@@mohamedhassan-qg7vf I can't comment about the other monitor as I've not tried it, my verdict about this and its variants is shared in the video. For you to make the decision.
II have a question.. In the section where it addresses motion clarity (PC) it states that it is subpar at low frequencies... can I deduce that on a Ps5 that runs at 60 hz then the motion clarity will also be of lower quality?.. .this then indicates that the monitor is not the best budget choice for console gamers because a significant part of the games are at 60 hz.
Good question. To be honest, motion clarity at 60Hz on pretty much any monitor isn't the best vs higher refresh rates. So, I wouldn't discount this monitor for that reason alone; I don't game on console though, so can't say if this or another would be the best pick for your needs.
@@TotallydubbedHD I understand..im just trying to replace my monitor to Play a 60 HZ game (EA FC 24 and EA FC 25 is coming tomorrow )..so im trying to find a good one that has good perfomance to give equal chances (or better ones because i compete in pro clubs for a pro team) Ps- and of course to play 120 hz shooter to relax and improve my reactions.

I just got this monitor and cant figure out how to get 180hz. I think I need to change the DP capability in the settings, but that setting is greyed out. So does that mean I need to use the display port connection because right now I have HDMI 2.1 and can only get a 120hz refresh rate. Also I am connecting to this monitor from an MSI gf63 gaming laptop which I dont believe has a display port connection, only HDMI. So if I get a display port to HDMI cable will that also give me 180hz refresh rate or is it even possible with my laptop?
It's likely the HDMI version of the port of your laptop is old, see my video on the deception about HDMI and DP for more info. A DP to HDMI isn't going to solve it either.
120 Hz is max what HDMI can give you. Want to have 180 Hz, you need to connect your monitor to GPU via Display port cable.

Probably because he turned on MBRT which is a stroboscope. It makes the screen flicker and your eyes sore but the image is sharper and smoother.
Great to see MBR Sync on budget displays. Philips recently added it too. Most likely same implementation. Would of been nice to see some pursuit shots of it at work. In case u're interested, for proper VRR testing Smooth Frog needs to be used as TestUFO can only do fixed refresh rate and all the VRR strobing implementations we have today look very different in the two cases. E.g. 120Hz at 120fps vs 180Hz at VRR 120fps. Interestingly Nvidia' G-SYNC overdrive also behaves very different.
Indeed, great to see. As it is, reviews take a very long time to do and the work that goes in is barely appreciated. Not going to add more work to my plate, as I'm currently very happy with the level of detail that's provided.
