AOC 24G2 Review

The AOC 24G2 and the AOC 24G2U are very similar as far as features and performance are concerned. They both have dual HDMI 1.4 ports and a 144Hz refresh rate, but the only thing that differentiates the two is that the U variant is sold in Europe and the other in the US and other parts of the world.

Another monitor that closely resembles the AOC 24G2 is the AOC 24G2E, and the two are different in minor ways. The 24G2E can render HDR content while the 24G2 can not, and despite having similar IPS panel types, the 24G2E does not feature any lighting at the back and is only tilt adjustable.

While the AOC 24G2 and the Asus TUF Gaming VG2419 have a similar 24-inch screen size and a 1080p resolution, the Asus emerges as the better pick for gamers thanks to its higher 165Hz refresh rate compared to the 24G2’s 144Hz, and faster 5.7ms response time compared to the AOC’s 8.1ms.

The AOC 24G2 was released in 2020, a year earlier than the Gigabyte G24F. The two are pretty much substitutes for each other, but the G24F is a slightly better pick for gamers because of its three USB ports, support for HDR, and advanced gaming features. On the flip side, the 24G2 has better ergonomics, and at 374 nits, it gets a lot brighter compared to the G24F’s 300 nits. They both have a wide color gamut courtesy of a matching 99% sRGB color space coverage, so they can both deliver vivid pictures when playing SDR content.
