Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2017

This monitor does its job and it does it well. I was in the market for an affordable, 144hz monitor and this was the second one that I tried, after the Acer GN246HL. While the Acer was a bit cheaper, it has no displayport input and can achieve 144hz refresh rate with only a dual-link DVI-D input. Beyond that, the colors were not as sharp and the resolution itself seemed worse in my experience (although technically both should be the same at 1920x1080). I returned the Acer monitor and swapped it out for this one and couldn't be happier. The displayport is very nice and works without a hitch going from the miniDP output on my laptop (note: no miniDP to Displayport cable is included and should be purchased separately -- but these are cheap and readily available). The stand is nice and easily adjustable, and highly mobile to boot. As a plus, the USB hub on the monitor is very nice for charging phones, etc.

As far as the color quality of the picture, I can't complain at all. I read some reviews that the color quality was poor and needed to be adjusted by uploading a specific color-profile. Immediately out of the box, I went into the display settings and switched from the default to the NVidia color profile and the results are satisfactory, colors are sharp and not washed out at all.

This is a great monitor for its price-point and I highly recommend it.

Everything seems to be great, but I am returning it for the ViewSonic ...

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2016

Seems great at first, but glitchy and poor colors are the reason I'm returning it for the ViewSonic XG2401 instead. This AOC is a true example of you get what you pay for. The poor colors, contrast, and gamma, as well as some glitches it has with V-Sync were the reason this monitor just wasn't for me

Pros:
-Very nice build quality. Swivel stand + metal construction.
-OSD was very responsive and not too hard to use
-No dead or stuck pixels, or noticeable backlight bleed.
-Full 144hz with wide FreeSync range of 35-144hz after driver install. Very smooth experience
Note: you do need to boot into a type of safe mode to properly install this monitor's beta drivers correctly. Tutorials are on youtube. Very poor software release by AOC, forcing customers to jump through so many hoops just to get their monitor to properly us FreeSync to it's full range.

Cons:
-Very poor colors, don't look right no matter how much you calibrate it. I even installed an ICC profile, and it still looks worse than any panel I've used before.
-only 3 gamma settings, and ALL of them makes things look too bright and/or washed out.
-Contrast is very poor. You can't distinguish between greys and blacks, so instead of looking like a dark gradient area is smoothly growing darker, they just look pitch black black, and often get that pix-elated boxy look with a hint of green look to them. See image to see what I mean. tweaking the contrast even a little makes things worse, however keeping it at 45 instead of 50 made things slightly more bearable.
-VERY GLITCHY with Freesync on. Explained more below

If you have FreeSync enabled, and attempt to switch from a low refresh rate to a high refresh rate setting in a full screen game or program's settings, it results in what you see in the video, a chopped up mix of squares of your image, or this horrifying overexposed blue LCD effect across the whole monitor which definitely cannot be good for it. Until yu switch the monitor speed back (good luck maneuvering back through the game settings), the glitch remains. If you get the blue LCD effect, you must turn the monitor on an off, and sometime it fixes it, other times a full PC restart is required.
Sometimes just tabbing out of fullscreen programs causes these glitches as well... I run into these issues daily, they are not easy to work around as you may think.
These glitches are not because of monitor defects, but rather issues with the monitor's firmware inside every monitor. I have tried multiples of these displays, they all do it. I tried using 4 or 5 Catalyst drivers, and all 3 known version of this monitor's drivers all installed correctly, using 2 computers to make sure it wasn't just one PC's issue, and it still occurs every time UNLESS you turn FreeSync off. Very surprised others are not running into this defect more, or are simply ignoring it when it happens, thinking it's a coincidence.

Even though I am returning it for it's less than acceptable image quality, and FreeSync is nearly impossible to use unless you very carefully set your game settings and don't tab out of fullscreen applications EVER, every other aspect of this monitor is acceptable, and if you don't mind the poor image quality, could still use this monitor flawlessly if you turn freesync off or simply don't use it with an Nvidia GPU, and you'd still have a very affordable 144hz monitor.

However, my recommendation is to buy another monitor model, as both the image quality and freesync will likely work better on monitor's worth just 10's of dollars more than this one.

Great monitor. Very impressive color for a tn panel.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016

Size: 24 in Full HDStyle: 144 Hz, Height AdjustableVerified Purchase

Build quality- The build quality is surprisingly good for the price. I see a lot of cheaper end monitors have great displays but sacrifice a lot in build quality in order to maintain a reasonable price. Luckily that's not the case here. The stand is nice and sturdy and the hight/angle adjustment is solid and feels great. The bezels aren't the smallest but they are definitively small enough for me. I love the design as well, the brushed plastic looks great and the little splash of red makes it look like a gaming monitor without being to flashy. Very well done there.

Color quality- Honestly in reading about tn monitors I was very worried that the the colors would be totally washed out and that my viewing angles would be awful. I was pretty happy this wasn't the case. The colors seemed great to me and I really think the only time you'd notice the lack of color quality would be if it was side by side with an ips. Other wise they look great. The viewing angles are good too. But I'd also note that I use this for computer gaming. I am directly in front of the screen 99% of time I use this so bad viewing angles are not a draw back to me.

144 hz freesync- I'm currently in the process of updating my Gpu at the moment so Ill update this portion when I get the hardware to take full advantage of these.

Why I chose this monitor- I wanted to test those 144hz free sync waters. Plus the 24 inch display is perfectly within my 22-24inch sweet spot that I enjoy. Aoc is also a very good gaming monitor brand. Also keep in mind my computer build is getting a little dated so I didn't feel I could take full advantage of some of the new resolutions so if your build is on the cutting edge I'd probably look at a 1440p or a 4k monitor. All the gamer features of this are definitely nice but if you can run it I think you would enjoy the extra pixels more.

Also good to note for anyone who hasn't done there research yet. If you have an amd gpu you want Free sync. If you have an invidia gpu then you want G-sync

Good 144 Hz Monitor for the Price

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019

Size: 24 in Full HDStyle: 144 Hz, Height AdjustableVerified Purchase

TDLR: That this is one of the cheapest 144 Hz monitors does mean it will not be good at most things, but will do well for fast-paced gaming. I owned this item for over a year, so you should find typical issues below.

Before color and contrast corrections, my monitor color replication was off enough to be noticeable and distracting even while gaming. After color and contrast corrections (2 hours of effort), this monitor can be described as having between okay and decent color reproduction. This is one of the trade-offs for the price. If you are interested I set the following first before doing further corrections in Windows software: Contrast: 35, Brightness: 10, Gamma: Gamma3, Overdrive: Medium, Red: 48, Green: 50, Blue: 38. YMMV as every device is slightly different, but hopefully this is a good baseline.

The screen has no stuck pixels after a year. Max brightness can be extreme for this monitor (hence why I've set a brightness value of 10 above). Min brightness is significant if in a dark room, but I have managed to offset this by using f.lux's brightness change function (alt+page down, this is a monitor color and brightness software). Finally, there is a visible change in white saturation when going from this monitor's 60 Hz setting to 144 Hz. For more beauty oriented games (i.e. Skyrim) I recommend swapping to the 60 Hz mode, as low input lag is not really necessary for that game and the color enhancement is significant.

The 144 Hz aspect is obviously working and working well. Doing the UFO test yielded significantly stable frame rate with low to no jitter. Another obvious test, especially if you have a second monitor that is 60 Hz, is viewing the tail of your mouse cursor when moving quickly. Leveraging this in game has, in my opinion, significantly improved the ease of aiming for hitscan weapons (flicks and tracking), but this is expected for all high frequency monitors.

Now the problems section. The software for this monitor is buggy, and there appear to be some charge build up problems sometimes. The software bug manifests as the monitor continually seeking for a signal instead of shutting down/ entering power saving mode when your computer is turned off. This manifests as long periods of displaying black followed by a few seconds of bright white light from the "No Signal" notice. Because of this, if your gaming setup is in the same room as where you sleep, you will need to flip the power switch off. The charge build up issue manifests as the allowed frequency that the monitor can be driven at. This issue appears after playing for large periods of time (4+ hours) at 144 Hz. After turning off your computer and turning it on again, without turning off the monitor, the monitor will not allow a 144 Hz display port signal ("No Signal" will be displayed), but will respond to a 60 Hz signal. The reason I believe this to be charge build up is that flipping the monitors power switch to off while still plugged in will resolve the issue within 30 minutes. However, flipping the switch and disconnecting the power cable will cause the issue to last far longer (greater than 4 hours), which points to the charge build up not having an easy way to dissipate due to no ground connection. It can be said that the fix for the software glitch also resolves the hardware problem.

Despite the above issues, I still believe this is a great entry level 144 Hz monitor given the price.

An awesome way to get into 144Hz Freesync gaming

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2018

Size: 24 in Full HDStyle: 144 Hz, Height AdjustableVerified Purchase

Having looked into Freesync monitors when they were first released, I was quite surprised when I saw that it was possible to get a 144Hz Freesync display for sub-$200 (at time of writing). Having owned this monitor for a couple of months, I'll list off the plus-cons below along with my system specs.

Pro:
+Cheap for what you get- Again, to get these specs at this price point is quite impressive.
+Good floor on Freesync framerate- This monitor will allow for Freesync to stay enabled as low as 35 FPS, which is better than some more expensive displays that I have seen.
+ 1ms response time- The monitor feels nice and snappy.
+Decent menu-The monitor menu is reasonably easy to use and has a wide range of settings, not much else to say.
+VESA Mount- The monitor has the mount similar to most gaming monitors at this price point, allows for a wide range of adjustments.
+Design- This display has a more reserved look than some other "gaming"-branded displays, although you can't escape the large "FREESYNC 144HZ" branding at the top left.
+USB Hub - Monitor has a USB hub built in to the right side of the display, can't comment too much as I have a larger one my desk I use instead.

Cons:
-Color - As with all other gaming monitors in this price point, the color quality is simply atrocious. The colors look gray and washed out. This is especially apparent when you directly compare it to any IPS display. Adjusting the settings to presets created by other users online helps, but only so much.

Overall, I would strongly recommend this display to anyone looking to improve their gaming experience on a budget. Having used this, I doubt I could go back to not using a high refresh rate Freesync display.

Relevant specs:

GPU: MSI 390X
CPU: i5 2500K @ 4.4 gHz
RAM: 8gb Kingston

Ordered monitor on a Friday and received it on Sunday. When I opened the box, everything was there. I hooked it up to my computer and turned it on. Very surprised on how well it looked considering all the professional reviewers dismissed it due to the display image quality. I absolutely love this monitor. I don't have any dead pixels, back light bleed is nonexistent, it's blazing fast, and super low input lag. 144hz works right out the box on the generic monitor drivers. I went to testufo.com to check out if it was a blurry monitor, and everything is butter smooth on default settings. I used a color profile in windows, tweaked the gamma and back light settings, and am amazed by how well this monitor performs. If you are on a 1080p 60-75hz monitor from 2010-2013, this will be a huge upgrade. I can't believe I've been missing out on 144hz for so long. Games (if you average 144 or greater fps) will look absolutely amazing. I was kind of worried about the brand considering I was looking at a Viewsonic XG2401. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Will buy an AOC again.

Great monitor, especially for the price, expect to have driver issues.

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017

Size: 24 in Full HDStyle: 144 Hz, Height AdjustableVerified Purchase

I've had this monitor for over a year and have been using it pretty much daily (when I'm not away from home). Here's my relevant system specs for reference:

CPU: i7-4790k
Mobo: Asus z97-A
GPU: Sapphire Nitro R9 390
Monitor Stand: VIVO Dual Monitor Desk Stand (V002)
2nd Monitor: Dell 1800FP

I'm running the DP option for my 2460PF with beta drivers (unsigned).

Pros:
-Great price/performance ratio
-Exceptionally high Freesync range
-144hz and 1ms (although I've heard that's debatable)
-Amazing for playing games

Cons:
-Need to jump through hoops to get effective drivers
-Bad contrast ratio, looks horrible in low light
-Bad for watching videos

Summary: Basically this monitor has really great gaming features but isn't amazing for watching videos, especially dark ones like Game of Thrones and The Expanse, which I had trouble viewing especially.

In addition, to get the full Freesync benefit, you need to download and apply unsigned beta drivers. These let you access the full 35-144hz Freesync range (by default the range is much lower).

-------------------------------------

TL;DR Good for gaming, bad for movies/TV (especially dark stuff), need to install custom drivers which is a pain in the butt, but for the price it's basically unparalleled.

Good as a starting 144hz monitor

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2017

Size: 24 in Full HDStyle: 144 Hz, Height AdjustableVerified Purchase

Tl;dr version: I've had no regrets buying this monitor. It's cheaper than most 144hz monitors and it gets the job done.

Long-ish version:

I've had this monitor for almost a month already. This is the first high refresh rate monitor I bought for my gaming setup. So far I've had no regrets buying it. I also see the difference in the smoothness of the movements of objects on this monitor than on 60hz monitors. Although it was not that "game changing" as I expected it to be. I don't value it as much as my mechanical keyboard. In my opinion, I could never go back to membrane keyboards again after buying my first ever mechanical keyboard. Although with this monitor, I wouldn't mind switching back to a 60hz monitor. Anyhow, I am happy that I got to experience what it's like to game on a 144hz monitor. But that's just my opinion.

If you think that you'd value the smoothness of the movements on a 144hz monitor rather than on a 60hz monitor, then go ahead and buy a 144hz monitor. In regards to color because it is a tn panel, I do see a difference in color compared to an ips panel. Although I haven't compared them enough to know how each color differs on each panel. Although, I do know that the color blue is lighter/less sharp on the tn panel than on the ips panel, but that's all that I've noticed. I don't mind it that much anyway.

This monitor leveled up my gaming skills for sure. I went from gaming on a tv to using this monitor, and I could instantly tell a difference in my gameplay. The response time of 144hz is perfect for shooter games like call of duty or apex. Its 1080p, but the screen still looks high def.

I used this for my xbox one and now use it for my pc, and it does great!! Overall a 5/5 from me!

Update: Great monitor: initial color calibration trash

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2018

Size: 24 in Full HDStyle: 144 Hz, Height AdjustableVerified Purchase

UPDATE: Since Nvidia now supports the use of G-sync with freesync monitors, this is an additional factor when considering this monitor. While using display port 1.2, I simply switched the (enable G-sync on this monitor for full screen and windowed view) on and hit apply. People it works flawlessly. This is an absolute win for this monitor. No flickers detectable by my eye whatsoever. With this new feature for my Nvidia card now considered, and the price for this monitor in consideration as well, I am now updating my rating to 5 stars. The flawless use of G-SYNC for under $200 USD is simply unbeatable. Don't get me wrong, this monitor still has it's issues (as you will read below), but it is just too diverse of a serious budget gaming monitor to not give it 5 stars.

Wow, I use to be that guy that hated to play on 30 fps when I first went to PC... Never wanted to go back. Then I heard about 144hz and I was under the impression that the eye generally sees at about 60 fps (news flash: I was very wrong). I'm gonna sound like a nut when I say this but it's like if butter was added to your screen, everything is just so smooth. 60 for now sadly feels choppy to me however since my recent revelation. In any case 144fps has helped me play more comfortably, but also has improved my aim since my movement is now more precise and smooth (from what I've noticed in the past 4 days). Edit: (aim is certainly better after months of use).

ANYWAYS, YOU'RE HERE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS MONITOR.

I cannot speak to freesync as I have an Nvidia card (READ UPDATE AT THE TOP OF THE REVIEW). However, I can speak for the monitors refresh rate at 144hz with practically no ghosting on medium overdrive (the little blurry you see on moving objects). Worked right out of the box, plugged the display port in (to get the full 144hz) and switched power on, no problem. Lots of angle adjustment, which is excellent, but not useful to me (EDIT: ANGLE ADJUSTMENT HAS BECOME PRACTICALLY INVALUABLE TO ME NOW THAT I HAVE MUCH LESS DESK SPACE THAN I USE TO HAVE). The USB hub however is perfect. DO NOTE: the quick charge USB port on the side of the monitors is not a real quick charge as I have tested with my phone. But the charging speed is fairly decent. The hub itself however works fantastically which I have my mouse and keyboard plugged into, more room on my PC now!

MY ONE CON AS OF NOW: Initial color calibration is absolutely utter garbage. The brightness is way too high and the contrast is terrible. Make sure you go into display settings and so color calibration right away, because it truly is garbage... HOWEVER: If you can put up with getting the color adjusted (and note the color is not great as it is a tn pannel (tho note viewing angles are still fairly solid regardless)), this monitor is well worth just shy of $200 USD. I honestly don't think I'll ever go back to gaming on 60hz for first person shooters. It just feels way too clean. Their is no way for me to show you 144hz but try it yourself, and you tell me you want to go back to 60 hz.

VERDICT: Well worth the money if you're willing to take a little while to adjust the colors. Very Happy with my purchase. I also got the 4 year warranty so I will update if I run into and technical issues and I would recommend getting a warranty too, just in case since it is a hefty purchase. (Edit after months of use still no technical issues).

On the left hand side I have my new AOC G2460VQ6 ($130 at time of purchase) connected via DisplayPort to my my NVIDIA GTX 1050 set at 70% brightness. On the right hand side I have the Samsung S24B300 ($100 at time of purchase) that I've had for a few years now set at 100% brightness connected via HDMI.

With 1 ms response time and 75 hz refresh rate using display port you really can't beat the price. When I've played video games (yes I can play video games with this graphics card) I noticed a huge difference in my fps stability and overall response time. I had no idea a simple monitor and new display cable could make such a big difference, really.

I've seen a lot of complaints about the washed out colors and brightness of screen and I can say I don't think that's the case for me (then again I'm not often in the market for monitors so you be the judge). I've seen even recommendations on the comments as to what to set your RGB percentages at to have a better image. So, the customization is there which I like and there's quite a few options in the menu to work with.

One place where I believe it falls short a tad bit is the overall quality of the material and the finish. For example, my older Samsung which is not a gaming monitor and has upwards of 7 ms response time has a nice slick finish and slides to the touch. Also, all the "buttons" are nice digital buttons you just slide over to make function, where as my AOC has some mechanical feeling buttons. Also, the AOC has a little bit of a bump behind where as my samsung is slick and thin behind. I can overlook all and this is why I still give it 5 star this because as is stated this is more of an affordable gaming monitor than it is just a normal flat screen. So I'm assuming you're exchanging some of that glamour with hardware (or hoping).

My biggest questions is: Will it pass the test of time? I've had my Samsung monitor for over 4 years with not a single thread or pixel broken AND I'VE MOVED THIS THING AROUND A LOT. Only have had the AOC monitor for 2 weeks now. I'll update this if anything changes.

Pros:
+Affordability
+Gaming
+Color/Brightness Customization
+1 ms respone time/ 75 hz refresh rate

Cons:
-Finished case
-Material
-Buttons

Unanswered Questions:
?Is it gilded or is gold? In other words will the glamour last? I hope not to have to replace this screen any time soon?
?If I have problems will $3 insurance at square trade even do anything?
