A Closer Look

AOC hasn’t splashed out on a new design here, and the new 24″ model looks pretty much like the rest of their gaming range. That’s no bad thing though, as you get slim bezels on all sides, and a hint of red on the bottom edge, which I rather like. I have a studio light on me right now, I’m lit up like a burning star, yet the amount of reflection is actually quite minimal all things considered.

With the light off, it’s still a sunny day outside, but still, the panel is diffusing the light really well and that should let the contrast still pop in a bright room.

The panel is 2560 x 1440 (QHD) and 165 Hz, which is more than enough for a great gaming experience. As you can see, it supports G-Sync, but it’s also Adaptive Sync compatible too.

A tasteful AOC logo on the front.

There’s no joystick control, it’s just clunky buttons on the bottom, which keeps costs down, but hey, it’ll get the job done, at least it’s not those awful touch controls!

The stand is nice enough, and the two front arms are nice and wide and don’t stick out too far, so they won’t interfere with your keyboard. The rear leg is small, so you can easily push the monitor close to a wall if required.

It jacks up surprisingly high and can be tilted forwards and backwards to suit your needs too.

At the minimum height, it’s almost touching its own stand, and there’s a good amount of left and right rotation too. The only thing it lacks is a portrait mode, but I can live with that.

Another sign of keeping the costs down is the single HDMI and single DisplayPort. For me, that’s plenty, PC from DisplayPort and a console on HDMI will do just fine. However, keep in mind that HDMI is limited to 144Hz, while the DisplayPort is 165Hz.

The back of the monitor is simple enough, with a nicely textured black enclosure, and some deep red highlights. No RGB or LEDs, just black on red, and it works well.

Finally, there’s a small cable routing hold at the back of the stand, and if you wanted to wall mount, the stand is removable and there are VESA screw holes available on the monitor.
