Good quality, but better screens out there.
Really good build quality, with adjustable height and desirable aesthetics.
However, it has a wierd screen ratio which affects some media and I couldn’t get the refresh rate high enough to play media or games smoothly.
Ideal for digital art and gaming
This is a great monitor! The screen quality and IPS colours look great, I was able to tweak settings and adjust them to match my phone screen, which helps for viewing my digital illustrations on multiple devices. The tilt and height-adjusting stand are also really helpful. I initially bought the 24-inch one for myself, and I liked it so much I bought two 27-inch ones for my brother and his friend.
Nice screen, not so great stand
Great monitor but the stand is poorly designed and could be better but the screen quality is 10/10 and definitely worth it for its price. Also with the stand it doesn’t hold the monitor that well and I had to use tape to secure it from shaking side to side every time I lightly hit my knee on my desk. But as I said still worth it for its price.
A good size gaming scree
I do like the size and the effects the curved screen gives. My main dislike is when you first set it up you need to reed the manual. The problem is the manual is on a disk, most modern PC doesn’t take disks anymore, plus as you have connected the new screen to the computer. So you can’t use the disc without turning on the screen so the manual disc is no good.
Brilliant bang for buck
240 Hz and with g sync works flawless.
For 200 quid brilliant.
Fantastic quality good picture I run FPS on low settings still looks good .

If you're Looking to Buy your first Wide Screen Monitor, go for this one. Bang for your buck.
After having used AOC’s 24.5 inch FHD monitor for about 2.5 years, I realised that an upgrade was due and needed especially, since I’ve been working from home since the early COVID days of 2020. I have never had a wide screen monitor but had always wanted one since I do a lot of video editing working on personal projects so a wide monitor is definitely a Plus. And when I am working my 9 – 5, I can simply connect my work laptop and close the lid and just work on 34 inch monitor since it is able to split the screen and use it as a dual monitor. I am not an Gamer so I can’t say for sure how good this monitor is for games but from the ones I played on it, I was pleased. Needless to say, if you are looking to buy your first Wide Screen Monitor without having to break bank, go for this one for this is definitely Bang for your buck.
P.S, the monitor stand takes a lot of space. Make sure you have enough space on your desk.
Happy
I’ve only been running this monitor for 24hrs but can safely say I’m very pleased with it. I picked it up at 431 which compared to others in this spec bracket seems like decent value for money. Only negative so far is the fiddly menu buttons compared to the joystick I’ve seen on other monitors – bit of a pain but not a deal breaker. Only setting I’ve changed so far is to Gamer and the colours and brightness all look great to me. I’ll tweak others when I get round to it I’m sure. I’ve seen stuff saying the brightness is average but I’ll be looking to turn it down for office based work. 3K is great. I have a 4K OLED tv – ok I can see a difference but on a smaller screen 3K is perfectly good enough. Running FS2020 and Avengers atm with Ry7/RTX3060 via DP and they look spectacular. I had concerns about getting a VA panel but I’ve picked up no visibility issues whatsoever. Don’t normally write reviews but spent so long agonising over which monitor to go for, thought I would. Curved v Flat, definitely curved. Enjoy.
Great quality can't go wrong with this one
Well packed, my daughter says she is very happy with quality for gaming and college work, lovely size for us parents to.

Gaming works
The 75 hz model first had a picture issue until i updated the software using G-menu. Since then it is been working smoothly and has vibrant colours. More smooth compared to my 60hz Philips monitor.
The Text size comes out well. Be wary of the monitor buttons as they turn off the menu in a second.
Nice large screen for PC and gaming.
Brought for my son as his monitor broke. Went for a larger curved screen for him, I use a curved screen and like them. He set it up easily with HDMI but will change over to Display Port later when he gets a cable ( better option). Pleased with the display and would recommend.

Used with PS5
Fantastic value for money, clearest quality and colours I’ve ever had. Literal game changer.
Does what it says on the descriptio
Main use is watching videos, reading documents and the occasional online game. Speakers built-in provide adequate sound. Haven’t managed to set to 240Hz through the OEM menu; curved monitor is optimal for seating position and assist in reducing eye strain, highly recommend if you spend hours staring at a scree

Amazing monito
Great working monitor and its so smooth at 120 fps but it has a lot of power consumptio
Excellent monitor, good deep colour and lovely smooth refresh rate
I got this monitor this week having dropped and broken the one I got before Xmas.
I decided that I would pay a bit more and go for a 144HZ option, as the previous widescreen was 75HZ and it occurred to me I wasn’t really taking advantage of the new powerful PC i built before Xmas (i could go higher res but this bothers me a lot less given where i sit and the size of screen that’s appropriate).
So this one reviewed very well and looked exactly what I needed. Pleased to say it delivers. The screen quality is very good and delivers a rich buttery smooth image.
Worth noting that there is some software you can download if you don’t have an optical drive that allow you to easily tinker with and control your image settings.
A brief gotcha for me was also finding that I was still gaming at 6HZ.. I needed to go into the Nvidia control panel and set the output for this monitor to 120HZ (not in the device manager where they just show as generic monitors). Since then it’s been perfect.
Overall I am delighted with this. A very good screen for the money and ideal for 1080P gaming.
Great for the price
I was surprised with the quality of the monitor, but the speakers are not too great when gaming. The buttons to control monitor settings as well are a bit difficult to press.
Would still recommend, but note the above when purchasing.

Great scree
Bought this for lads bedroom xbox as he was using a normal TV and what a difference he is really pleased with it the picture is crisp and responsive whilst he is gaming happy son happy me
For Gaming
Got this for my lads new gaming pc. He seems very happy with it and it’s adjustable.
Great monito
Excellent 1080p monito
Picked up 2
Picture quality is very good
The built in USB hub is handy
Hdmi and display port
The stand is pretty good
I cannot fault the monitor at under 160 when I purchased i
V good
V good monitor great picture znd game quality only draw back is the software bit of a pain to set up but once done grea
Amazing!
The screen is amazing 144hz display really gives you the upper hand especially in competitive settings, crisp image sharp cornered textured overalls amazing quality no latency, amazing value especially for something in this market brightness is dim when you initially launch it but you can turn it up or down with ease no manual needed
All round Good monito
The Aoc 144hz monitors are superb at 1080p thin enough bezel for triple monitor for gaming. Using nvidia surround I have these running on most games. The buttons that control them are a bit fiddly but you can live with it. Plenty of usb options on that back with digital port and hdmi aswell. Best 1080p monitor at price for me which was 169 each.
My son loves i
My son said it is brilliant really good quality picture nicely crisp and clear and the sound is brilliant too
Can't fault it yet for competitive gaming.
Have owned the monitor for 3 months as of writing this review.
The stand is awful. The long leg spikes will try to go under your mouse matt unless you angle them just right (which you will need to do to stop your mouse bumping into them in the heat of battleXD). And the OSD buttons are a clown show, but the part that counts is…
Frankly I can’t imagine any 240Hz monitor being faster or clearer for fps gaming. Even TN panels. I also can’t imagine the LMB on the 240Hz Zowies being any better for fps. I’m not an expert and have upgraded to this from a 144Hz TN panel, so my experience with various monitors is modest to say the least. But I am very good at fps games and play competitively. To my mind this is as good as a 240Hz gaming monitor can/needs to be. And being an IPS panel, movies/media looks really good too.
As far as someone commenting that it doesn’t come with a USB to USB B cable so you can’t connect the monitors USB HUB to your PC…I honestly can’t remember whether I got that cable in the box or whether I’m using the spare I had lying around. However the USB hub is super useful and the fast charge USB really is faster than PC USB charging. The speakers are there just for convenience, not for any serious listening, but they are there, unlike similar monitors from other manufacturers at higher prices.
Simply put: if the stand was a classic square/round unobtrusive foot and the monitor had a nipple at the back instead of the worst bottom mounted OSD buttons ever (though the OSD software provided by AOC does the job just fine) in my opinion this would probably be the best price/performance competitive gaming monitor in the world by a country mile.
As it stands, it is still deserving of that title, only (at least for me) not quite so emphatically…

Good quality, great price
Happy with this monitor, good value for money. Can’t notice a difference to others.
Adjustable height.
No screen tearing or lag while gaming. Clear and crisp picture when using apps and Office documents.
Could have a better stand with height and swivel adjustment.
Great Monito
I use this monitor for work(software engineer) and gaming. It’s perfect for what i need and I would recommend it for someone looking for a budget monitor.
The best budget gaming monito
Brilliant monitor, fast clear picture, vivid colours and no tearing, only gripe I wish it was a little brighter for gaming during the day. Brightness 8 out of 10 during the day, 10 out of 10 in low light.
Perfect monitor for a ps5
Got this monitor to replace a busted up, old 25 inch 60hz tv which I had been using for my ps5. Straight after booting up the ps5 with this monitor I could already see a huge difference. To say I had been missing out is an understatement. Games run smooth, picture is crisp, visually the monitor looks amazing and is extremely to set up.
Awesome
This is exactly as described and amazing for the price 🙂
Nice Monito
Packaged really well. All wrapped up for my sons Christmas. Excellent service, fast delivery. Will be in touch if there’s any issues on Christmas Day lol. Thank you once agai
Very good 1080p gaming monito
I changed from a larger 1440p monitor from this one due to the higher refresh rate, i like the higher refresh more than the higher quality and bigger size for comp games. I use this monitor for competitive games like CS:GO and rainbow six and i use the other monitor for slower paced games. Its all up to prefrence i guess.
A great monitor for a great price....with 1 slight problem...
And that problem is…..
It wobbles to no end. There is soooooooo much movement in the stand it comes with that the screen wobbles back and forth if you knock your desk, a lot more than my old Auros 27″ curved ones did.
However, the rest of the monitor is excellent for the price. Get this on a good strong vesa mount and I doubt it would be an issue that it wobbles.
Review as a Televisio
As the title suggests this review is using it purely as a television plugged into a Nvidia Shield, its becoming increasing difficult to buy a Small bedroom television….thats where this monitor comes into play.
Love the “hdr effect” setting makes setting contrast a lot easier.
Brightness is very high out of the box but once tamed the blacks are actually black.
Picture quality in 1080 at 24/50/60hz is gorgeous.
Had a quick blast of GTA 5….. very impressed at how smooth it was but im no “gamer”
No speakers, thats not a problem its actually a strength…. all speakers in all screens these days have to be small and slim leaving them to sound pathetic and lifeless buuut this monitor has a 3.5 mm jack so i plugged it into a small 2.1 computer speaker set (20 quid ish)
Panel is very slim and with the bezels barely visible while viewing
Stand is Metal finished with plastic making it very sturdy, its height adjustable (very tall if needed) and rotates left to right.
Verdict, buying an “old spec’d” gaming monitor to use as a tele is a stroke of genius. Muuuuuch cheaper than an actual tele.

AOC Gaming C24G2U - 24 Inch FHD Curved Monitor, 165Hz, 1 ms
Really nice monitor does what I need for a great price however was disappointed when unboxing the monitor to find out they wasn’t an English plug included and had to buy a new cable with a British plug
A great bit of ki
I use it for office work and for visit creation and motion graphics and having such a wide screen means I can see so much of the time line and preset panels. Is a joy to use
The pictures do not do it justice. I had LED gaming monitors previously, IPS just has such better colour!
I have a side by side, smaller one is this monitor, the bigger one is my old one.
The monitor is thin, good build quality and good stand.
So good I bought two more to complete my triple monitor setup.
Great monito
Superb, great picture quality, but came with a european power lead not a UK one. Apart from that all good
Great for the price. 144hz + 1080p + AMD Freesync
Pros:
– great for gaming
– works well with PS5
– works well as secondary display (haven’t tried on MacOS or Windows 11 yet)
– many ports (can’t remember exactly how many) for USB, HDMI, 1 Display port, more than sufficient for me
– brightness controls. I have sensitive eyes so I prefer lower brightness levels. Gets very bright too, when I game with friends, they always complement how bright it could go
Con:
– no volume controls that I have discovered. Have to manually change using my laptop or PS5
I run an esports event venue, and we were looking to upgrade our old 22″ monitors and after lots of research settled on the AOC 27″ 144mhz IPS Panel.
Straight out of the box these look and feel really good monitors, slimline bezels. You can either use the included stand or using the VESA connections attach the monitor to a monitor arm, we’ve done both but teaming up the monitor with a good arm is definitely the way to go.
Performance: They are super responsive, we’ve connected them using the included Display Port cable (HDMI cable also included) so we have full 144mhz 1080p graphics, i could well believe the 1ms response time and colours are vivid and smooth with both Freesync and Gsync compatibility (gsync monitors are usually more expensive)
Bonus: These monitors include a USB powered hub, so add an extra USB cable back to the computer and then plug your peripherals directly into the back of the monitor.
There are lots of configuration tools that you can download to help switch between gaming styles and profiles, as well as a cheeky little cross-hair you can turn on to give you an advantage in FPS games.
These are not the best monitors on the market, but for most people they are going to be a really solid budget friendly option, with good specifications and solid performance. We liked them so much we bought 12, and will probably be buying a few more in a couple of months time.

Well made bit of kit only down side is were they got the buttons under the unit hard to make out untill you get used to it apart from that very good for the money
AOC 20Hz 27 Inch Monito
Very great monitor recommend to buy but try get 24 inch 27 might be too big.
My son is delighted.
This is something my son asked for his birthday – he had researched the monitor. He is absolutely delighted with the size and picture quality.
Runs 144Hz at 1980x1080
Reliable Compact Stand, great if your working with limited Desk Space
A good scree
My son bought this for gaming and movies. He has no complain since he change his old one to this.
Good all round monito
Bought 3 of these for my setup and the first one came with a dead pixel in the centre of the screen contacted support and they said it wasn’t enough to get a replacement but the other 2 are perfect, only issue I have with the monitors is they are terrible for dark scenes of either games or film, without hdr it’s almost impossible to see when in a dark area
Great for work too
The monitor is easy to set up. I use it both for work and gaming. I am even considering getting a second one
Great quality for the price
Bought for my sons birthday to replace another monitor that was only 75hz, he’s really impressed with this one and the larger screen was a bonus. Great for gaming as it has a really fast refresh rate too, setup was simple and stand is well made and not flimsy. The screen also moves up and down as well as tilting which was really good for fitting into the desk. The only problem is he would like to replace his 144hz monitor with another one of these and that costs me money lol.

Amazing
This is amazing, feels smooth, no dead pixels. Perfect for myself, would highly recommend.
Sturdy build, high refesh rate, great colour quality.
Excellent monitor for the price. It looks sturdy and sleek, and certainly feels it too. Its wide array of colours and high brightness put out a great image. The 144hz refresh rate makes the image look super smooth in game. Overall, its a great monitor and I absolutely recommend it.
Excelle
My son uses this all the time. He is delighted with it. The picture quality and the gaming speed are excellent.
Bought screen primarily for Logic Pro. Happy overall
It’s very nice to have a good quality screen to mix on with more than average space for plugins etc. The only negative for me is that it doesn’t seem to talk to my Mac very well on startup. I always have to turn on screen then Mac straight after for the picture to come up otherwise it just says “no signal”, for example if the Mac was already on when I turned on the screen. (Using HDMI) Once the connection has been made it seems to work fine even if I turn the screen off and on again or the Mac goes to sleep and I wake it up.
Other than that it’s a good screen and the curve is nice too.
Great cheap display
I got it for a 150 pounds and it was one of the best deals! I used to game on my ps5 and programming. Very nice and smooth display! For anyone wondering, ps5 120hz is working. You must go to ps5 system settings and turn on performance mode, after if you go, in my case, into Cold War, you will see that 120hz in settings will be locked but enabled! which means it is on. I also thought getting 1080p in 2021 is a bad idea but turn out to be one of the best!

Best Budget Monitor!
I’ve had the monitor for almost a week now and it’s absolutely amazing no complaints at all
It's pretty good but...
It’s a pretty good cheap monitor that supports 240 hz but the speakers are not that great. I have seperate speakers so it’s alrigh
Great picture
Bought this 27″ 1080p to replace a 22″ and the difference is a joy. The picture quality is excellent but it needs a bit of time to set up the overall colour preferences as the presets for gaming etc are absolute rubbish and shouldn’t be used. The downside is the terrible positioning of the control buttons though as they are awkward and fiddly to use. However I downloaded the AOC G-menu utility from their site which gives you a graphical GUI on Windows and simplifies it all. Not tried the freesync/gsync as the graphics card is a GTX 960 and not capable and I also set the refresh rate to 60Hz as well. I do plan on upgrading the GPU sometime but I think they are with the unicorns at the moment so this monitor will at least be ready and capable for 144hz and Freesync/Gsync.
My sons 2nd monito
Bought 2 of these now, my son loved the first one, and wanted another for his gaming pc. Good quality picture and value for money.

It feels and looks more expensive than it is. Out of all the gaming monitors I’ve looked at at around this price range this one had the most positives so I went with it. I feel like any negative reviews this has got is uncalled for in my opinion.
It’s heavy but also light at the same time. It gives me confidence that it’s well made. I love the tilt motion too. I haven’t tried the full then yet as I don’t need that. It’s stand is long so I’m looking up but I’m not sitting on a computer chair yet so I think it won’t be as bad when I get that. I don’t mind anyways as it’s so nice. It has clear picture and shows all the colours perfectly. I thought by previous monitor was HD enough and didn’t need changing but this monitor showed it up.
The only reason I bought A new monitor was because I was using a small tv that was hurting my eyes. I couldn’t game longer than an hour. This monitor is so far okay on my eyes, and it has blue light options and you can change it to suit whatever you’re doing. It also has game mode as you’d suspect for a gaming monitor.
Someone mentioned that it’s quiet and it’s quiet as in you can’t turn it up higher than what it is. But for me it’s loud enough. Perfect amount. Only time I would want it higher is if maybe I was listening to music while I was cleaning my room or something but I have speakers for that. And if you’re buying a gaming monitor you most likely are a gamer enough to use headphones.
What’s also nice is that when you turn off your pc, the monitor will also turn off automatically with it.
I will definitely be recommending this monitor to others and if I decide to get two monitors I’ll just re buy this one 🙂

Cracking Little Monitors
Bought one of these and was so impressed, I bought another!
Great displays with good IPS panels, high refresh rates and good connectivity. Brilliant for gaming unless you’re really hardcore in which case you may want an even higher refresh rate, but perfect for my needs. Used alongside the Radeon Freesync, the movement is buttery smooth when paired with a 5700XT and the 1080p resolution is bang on for the 24″ size when paired with that card. Oh, and the crosshair is a cool feature too!!
I did have some issues with the monitors flickering, seemingly randomly, when watching YouTube and web browsing, but that was fixed by disabling the hardware acceleration in Google Chrome. Phew! Monitors not at fault!
Only downsides for me – and hence the four stars – (apart from the fact they’re now somewhat cheaper than when I purchased!) are the control/menu buttons as I find them quite fiddly to use on the underside of the bezel. However, once set up, I haven’t had to use these really so not the end of the world.
Great value screen – highly recommended.

No discernible faults in my model.
The OSD controls are quite bad and the in-built speaker max volume is low and quite tinny, but those are things I already knew about this monitor prior to buying. Another downside is that the monitor display goes on standby until my computer reaches the login screen, meaning it can be quite a challenge to get the the BIOS/BOOT menus. Something that I use very regularly as I dual-boot Linux and Windows on my machine.
Beyond those complaints the monitor is performing as expected. No dead pixels, no backlight bleed, colours are fantastic, and my games have never felt smoother.
I bought this monitor on sale for 160, and so far it is worth every penny. I’ll update this review if things change.

Really good
The 4k monitor I bought looks great. Both the picture quality and the actual product itself. AOC offers a great product and meets a need if you aren’t able to spend a lot on a monitor. Despite having a low price tag the quality you’ll receive is pretty impressive.
This monitor does alright for my gaming needs but admittedly I am playing casual games and not the fast paced FPSs that people go nuts over frame rates and refresh rates etc.
Great Monitor - don't expect too much from the speakers
his is a great monitor, and the stand it comes with is brilliant, so much adjustment, height, tilt and turn.
However, I really wanted the speakers and although there is sound it is rubbish and quite and there is no way of adjusting it, so it means I now need to add additional speakers which was not what my plan was, so if you really want internal & adjustable speakers this is not for you
but the screen image is great, with loads of adjustments!
The height adjuster and the built-in speakers.
The height adjuster and the built-in speakers play such a role here. Definitely worth every pennie!

Great Upgrade From Poor TN panel Colours
Decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my TN 144hz panel after reading that the colours we’re much better and i wasn’t dissapointed paid 200 pounds for my TN panel and this monitor is 150 pounds! if your looking for a top notch gaming monitor look no further great bargain for the price it was also very quick to get the settings right.
Contrast: 50
Brightness: 100
Eco Mode: Standard
Gamma: 3
Color Temp User: 50:50:50
Overdrive: Strong
Great gaming scree
Our 14yr old has been using for almost a month now. Great pic quality, stylish, fast. Very impressed with design too.
Great image quality for gaming and othe
I had a pair of Dell Ultrasharp monitors which needed replacing. These tick all the boxes (and I have no negatives to say):
* IPS panels, so excellent viewing angles (which is important to me, as I like to rotate one when working on long documents). They also have really rich colours (better image quality than the decent Dell Ultrasharp monitors they replaced).
* Adjustable stands which can cope with tilt, rotation, and height adjustments
* Built in powered USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub
* Freesync but also works with my RTX 3060
* 144 Hz and 1ms for buttery smooth high FPS gameplay
* Minimal bezels, so not only do they look good, but take up minimal desk space for the size
If you’re looking for a 1080p monitor (whether gaming or not), I’d go for these.

Stunning gaming monitor for the price, crisp well balance. Pixels are becoming visible
For the price (I bought it at 160) this monitor is surely fantastic with very well balanced colours, more than appropriate brightness and of course great refresh rate. The adjustable stand is great and the number of ports and connections options is perfect for most people.
But with a 1920X1080 on a 27″ screen the individual pixels are beginning to be visible if one sits to close to it.
If you have the budget and a graphic card that can push high frame rates at higher resolutions possibly consider other options but for what I paid this has passed my expectations and I am happy to give it 5 stars

Strongly recommended
Unless you’re a tech review channel or have lods of exposure to the tip top cutting edge of display technology i can guaruntee that this monitor will be Perfect !
As someone recently upgrading from 1080p monitors i wanted to get something good quality for a good price.
Researching, i got very caught up in the tiny details of “backlight bleeding and *PC karton* nanobits of electro-techno-fancy stuff”
For real, it works , it looks beautiful , it Has plenty of adjustability and i can assure you it’ll satisfy your widescreen , 1440p 144hz needs in every way. Just make sure your desk is wide enough 😉 it’s got some impressive girth
Awesome for the price
Great price and easy to set-up. Also included the digital panel connector cable, which I was very surprised and pleased to find out!

Great for a one monitor setup, unless it's not your main scree
Works with my rtx 3060 setup, a great monitor for budget users who want a quality 27″ screen with height, tilt and portrait adjustment options.
My only gripe is that there’s a slight smearing (image ghosting) when playing FFXIV, or action games (e.g. Monster Hunter World) even in high Overdrive mode with max game settings; but then it might also be the games’ graphic design to help reduce framedrops or something.
Would I’ve considered the 24″ version instead, then upgrade to 2 monitors later? Maybe, but for the time being, it was a very suitable choice for me.

Great for the price
Great for gaming on board speakers aren’t very good but I bought it for use with a sound bar for solo play anyway and use Bluetooth headset for playing with others so no problems
Bought for my 13year old grandson who is very much into gaming. He is thrilled and totally impressed that grandma actually knew enough to buy this particular gaming monitor!

Great gaming monito
Used this screen as the main monitor for gaming. Wide screen is great, curved makes it stylish and great for viewing when looking around in games.
Really good graphics and can reach up to 120 fps.
Very happy.
For the price, awesome curved screen.
So just got this out of the box and plugged in. It looks incredible! Check out my picture of the set up. I’m going to wall mount it eventually but stand will do for now. This is a 34 inch ultrawide curved screen for less than 400. There are more expensive options out there. This comes with usb ports (not using them) , 2x hdmi and a display port. Comes with both an HDMI and display port cable. Will review again in a couple of weeks but so far looks great!

Not just wide, its ULTRA wide
I love it, have no negatives to report.
I came from a 32″ 4K to this and glad i did. G-Sync works a treat and picture quality is stunning, the only issue i have is that i waited so long to switch to ultra wide.
Black line in scree
Dis appointed when I turn on my pc black line show on my scree
