AOC Gaming C32G1 - 32 Inch FHD Curved Monitor, 144Hz, 1ms, VA, AMD FreeSync Premium, Flicker Free (1920 x 1080 @ 144Hz, 250cd/m², HDMI 1.4 x 2, DisplayPort 1.2 x 1, VGA)

I'm really pleased with this monitor. I just upgraded my graphics card to an RTX 2070, and with my old 22" 1080p 60Hz monitor the new GPU was only using about 30% of it's power.So I searched for an affordable, higher res 144Hz monitor to go with it and thought this was too good to be true when I found this.There were very few UK reviews, but many of the USA reviews stated that the image was poor out of the box but very good once a bit of time is spent adjusting it.And that is exactly what I have found. The default settings just did not show the monitor off to it's best. In games, the colours were too red & washed out.Using the software provided, the picture looked much better, and showed what the monitor is capable of, but then I had to switch between different modes to get the best picture depending on the type of game I was playing.I quickly got tired of that and decided to adjust the custom setting instead, to try and achieve a single good picture for all games.In the end, a drop of the red by a few points, and a couple of clicks down on the brightness, and all my games are looking good using this single setting.Now that is sorted, I will say this - Wow, the picture is fantastic, and all my games have taken on a new look, including feeling more immersive due to the increase in screen size. I have no dead pixels and the monitor looks well made.The curved screen is a positive I think. It is really not much of a curve, so it almost seems unnecessary, but on the other hand, it brings the outer edges of the screen to the same eye distance as the centre, so overall I think it's a plus. Certainly there's no sign of any distortion. And it does look pretty cool.This is a great monitor - excellent image, and excellent value for money.Note to Amazon & prospective buyers: My one complaint is not about the product but about the way the monitor arrived. There was no external Amazon packaging, so anyone can see what it is. The driver also told me that signature was not required & he would have left it on the doorstep if I had not been in (not his fault, but that is what his instructions are for this particular item). He thought that was ridiculous given the value and nature of the item, and I agree with him.So Amazon, you need to make sure this is a signed for item. And anyone buying, I advise you to be sure to be in to accept the delivery.

I got this as a early Christmas present for myself. I was delighted by the positive reviews and the price of the product, this is a huge upgrade for me, since I have always used regular 22-inch monitors.Packaging was very neat and safe and after unpacking I found the item to be in perfect condition.I started my tests by using the HDMI cable provided and put it on the first HDMI slot I saw, the image looked great and I was very happy.The next day, I was browsing through the internet and I noticed something strange. Everytime I scrolled past a "dark" image, I would see lots of green pixels moving around with the image as I scrolled down. I found this very frustrating so I went and tested on games, which had the same issues with darker images.Very annoyed by this, I decided to look for related issues on the internet and after some time I found out that the issue was the cable.To fix this I had to use the other display cable provided with the item (which is not a HDMI).After plugging in that cable, I noticed a HUGE difference in colours and the green pixels were completely gone.I also noticed that I could finally change the refresh rate to 144hz (which I couldn't with the HDMI cable).I am not sure if the HDMI cable provided was damaged or if it actually isn't very compatible with the screen.This issue got me quite annoyed with the product for the first few days, but after solving it I had no further issues and it's working wonders!Overall it is a great monitor for it's price and I definitely recommend it.

Great monitor, the biggest things to note:- It will NOT be set to 144Hz by default!! You need to change this in your display settings.- You likely won't be able to go higher than 120Hz until you have installed the drivers, this can be done either via the disc OR by going to their website and searching for "C24G1".- The power cable is short, you will likely need to have a plug available directly under or beside your desk. It's easily the shortest power cable for a monitor I've had.For those going from a 60Hz to 144Hz, if you're like me, you won't immediately notice much of a difference. Give it a few hours of use and then temporarily go back to 60Hz... you'll realise that you've ruined 60Hz monitors forever!The blacks do bleed a little bit but nowhere near as bad as some other reviews are saying, it's only noticeable when you are actively looking for it.I saw another review talking about the text being blurry, I haven't really had this experience myself, it might be that they didn't have drivers installed or something.Not sure if I had a weird experice or not but this got shipped in a GIANT Amazon box, I've never seen a box so big, it was like the size of a tall fridge. Inside that was then the box for this monitor and a bit of packing paper and then 3 feet of extra room. Weird.All in all, I really like this monitor, it's fantastic for its price. I've only had it for a few hours though so if I come across any issues I'll be sure to update this review. (If you're reading this and it's an old review with no updates, that's a good sign!!)
