The exception to this is with ‘MBR’ (Motion Blur Reduction) active, a strobe backlight setting which causes the backlight to flicker in sync with the refresh rate of the display. The AOC 24G2SPU includes various ‘Game Mode’ presets; ‘FPS’, ‘RTS’, ‘Racing’, ‘Gamer 1’, ‘Gamer 2’ and ‘Gamer 3’.

It will hit the ‘sweet spot’ for most people in a range of lighting conditions as it’s usual for monitors to be set somewhere between 100 – 200 cd/m², but a lower minimum would’ve been preferred. IPS displays deliver 178/178-degree viewing angles while maintaining consistent image quality and colors from all viewing positions. The table below shows the results, with blue highlights indicating the results under our ‘Test Settings’. Though we found the moderate strobe crosstalk ‘noticeable’ regardless and there are some other factors to consider, as explored shortly. This is a particularly unforgiving test for colour consistency, highlighting weaknesses there very prominently due to many large patches of individual shade.Accessories Often the packaging of desktop monitors and smart TV sets includes accessories for them.

The maximum here is rather bright and comfortably exceeds the specified 350 cd/m², but the minimum is rather high and will be too much for some users particularly in dimmer conditions. Some conventional trailing and overshoot (inverse ghosting) is observed in places behind the UFOs due to pixel response time weaknesses and aggressive tuning, respectively. Many of our top-notch monitors are not only designed to work with PC towers but are also compatible with consoles. Note that these images are designed to show strobe crosstalk behaviour and don’t accurately show how distinct details on the main object appear.That means that if the game is running between 48fps and 165fps, the monitor will adjust its refresh rate to match. It appeared a slightly duller shade towards the extreme side edges and to some extent bottom of the screen.

DisplayPort allows for a range of devices to quickly and easily connect to your screen, delivering higher resolution, faster refresh rate and video transmissions free from input lag.

Most content on platforms such as Netflix and YouTube in particular is designed around the 16:9 aspect ratio of this monitor and wouldn’t have black bars when viewed full screen. Whilst the gamut is a bit ‘wonky’, with the EDID data not lining up properly with the actual measured gamut of the monitor, the over-coverage is certainly reduced compared to natively.
