About this deal

Note that these images are designed to show strobe crosstalk behaviour and don’t accurately show how distinct details on the main object appear. Die 75Hz Freesync Funktion habe ich in Destiny 2 mit meiner GTX 1070 (Zotac AMP Extreme) Grafikkarte und aktuellem NVIDIA Treiber ebenfalls stabil nutzen können. Achtung, Freesync funktioniert bei NVIDIA Grafikkarten nur per Display- und nicht per HDMI-Port. Zudem ist in diesem Fall die Freesync Funktion auf maximal einen Monitor beschränkt. Zwei Monitore parallel mit 75Hz zu betreiben geht bei Freesync über NVIDIA Grafikkarte also nicht.

I bought this as part of a new rig I built for 1440 gaming - Ryzen 7 7700X, RTX 4070. This is a nice enough monitor but is NOT g-sync compatible - you can certainly enable g-sync on it but buyer beware: when playing games which are heavy on the graphics card causing framerate fluctuations, you get a momentary change in brightness level when the screen syncs to the new framerate - it looks like blinking. On a game like Starfield you get a LOT of framerate changes which means a lot of blinking. After much research the bottom line is that this monitor is NOT g-sync endorsed by Nvidia, but that does not prevent you from enabling it. So buyer beware - while g-sync can be enabled, it is virtually unusable with this monitor. For this reason, I have marked "Brightness" down to 3 stars, as gsync causes rapidly fluctuating brightness levels. I bought the AOC 24G2SPU monitor and just got it yesterday.The experience so far is amazing but I have a few unanswered questions and hope to find them here, because even though the internet is a massive place, I still haven't figured out:

Why is AOC AGON 24G2SPU/BK 24" better than AOC AGON 24G2SPAE/BK 24"?

The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by pressable buttons on the underside of the bottom bezel, towards the right side. A small forwards-facing power LED is also included in this region, to the right of the buttons. This glows white when the monitor is on and orange when it enters a low power state. The video below explores this menu system and the accompanying ‘G-Menu’ software which can be used to control it. As shown above the standard RGB (Red, Green and Blue) stripe subpixel layout is used. This is the default expected by modern operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. Apple’s MacOS no longer uses subpixel rendering and therefore doesn’t optimise text for one particular subpixel layout to the detriment of another. You needn’t worry about text fringing from non-standard subpixel layouts and won’t need to change the defaults in the ‘ClearType Text Tuner’ as a Windows user. You may still wish to run through the ClearType wizard and adjust according to preferences, however. The subpixel layout and arrangement is normal and we had no subpixel-related concerns related to sharpness or text clarity on this model.

Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases.AOC’s last 24 inch, high refresh rate IPS monitor went down a treat as one of the best selling monitors on the market, so its replacement has a lot to love up to. This is the AOC 24G2SPU, and its main upgrade is a new and improved 165Hz refresh rate, from its new IPS panel. Is this still the king of the hill, is this worth your money? Let’s test it and see shall we? The image below is a macro photograph taken on Notepad with ClearType disabled. The letters ‘PCM’ are typed out to help highlight any potential text rendering issues related to unusual subpixel structure, whilst the white space more clearly shows the actual subpixel layout alongside a rough indication of screen surface. This model uses a ‘regular’ (medium) matte anti-glare screen surface. This provides strong glare handling, whilst diffusing the light emitted from the monitor relatively strongly as well. This affects the vibrancy and clarity of the image, with a bit of a layered appearance in front of the image. The screen surface provides a light misty graininess to the image which is less noticeable than on many competing models. Including 24” TN models and models using 24.5” AUO AHVA (IPS-type) panels. It should be noted that whilst glare handling characteristics are strong, bright environments can still ‘flood’ the image. Light is quite heavily diffused by the screen surface, so it’s best to avoid direct light striking the screen surface or particularly strong ambient lighting if possible. The greyscale gradient appeared smooth without obvious banding or dithering. Close inspection revealed some well-masked temporal dithering.

A mild LBL setting, reducing the blue channel a fair bit from factory defaults whilst maintaining a strong green channel. Image appears warmer with a bit of a green tint, which our eyes adjusted to in time. Results here were quite good. The central point was recorded as closest to 6500K, with significant but not extreme deviation recorded towards the top left (DeltaE 3.1). No further significant deviation was recorded. Note again that individual units vary when it comes to uniformity and that you can expect deviation beyond the measured points. The Lagom text appeared quite a blended grey throughout the screen, with a dark red striping to the text introduced further down and a bit towards the left side. There were no clear shifts between saturated red, orange and green across the screen or with a bit of head movement. This indicates a relatively low viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, as expected for an IPS-type panel. Leistungsaufnahme im Betrieb: 21W (Brightness = 90, Contrast = 50), bzw. <= 30W (Brightness = 100, Contrast = 100) And the models name is AOC 24G2SPU but the drivers are AOC 24G2W1G3 (I think) - so that solves the other problem.I probably look very dumb to some people here but bare in mind I'm not really a tech guy and I was gaming on a TV since I was 13 so I had 0 knowledge about monitors.
