Screen size

24-inch gaming monitor from AOC

C24G2U/BK: 24 inches

With a 24-inch size, the AOC C24G2U/BK has enough screen space for most games. Arena games with a small map come out well on this size, such as Call of Duty, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Apex Legend. You can see a lot of the playing field and you're closer to the game. The smaller the screen, faster a monitor refreshes. This gives you a great advantage over your opponents.

27-inch gaming monitor from AOC

Q27G2U/BK: 27 inches

With the 27-inch screen of the AOC Q27G2U/BK, you can enjoy a larger field of view. You can see more of the surroundings and the image is clearly visible on a medium-sized screen. In general, open world games require at least 27 inches. This provides a proper display of the surroundings in games like GTA V and Red Dead Redemption.

32-inch gaming monitor from AOC

CQ32G1: 32 inches

The large 32-inch screen of the AOC CQ32G1 expands the field of view of your games, so you won't miss a single detail. For shooters, you have the advantage of more overview in the map. Opponents that you wouldn't see on a 24-inch screen, you can see on a 32-inch screen. Make sure you have enough room, as a 32-inch screen takes up a lot of space on your desk.

Refresh rate

C24G2U/BK: 165Hz

With a 165Hz refresh rate, the AOC C24G2U/BK is the gaming monitor for avid gamers. You can smoothly play games at the highest graphic settings without the monitor slowing down. Competitive gaming of first-person shooters is possible at the highest speed with 165Hz, but the difference between 144 and 165Hz is hardly noticeable for the novice gamer.

Q27G2U/BK: 144Hz

The combination of the 27-inch screen and 144Hz refresh rate makes the Q27G2U/BK suitable for all shooters and racing games. You can play games smoothly and the FreeSync technology synchronizes the video card with the refresh rate of the monitor. This technology prevents screen tearing, Though 144Hz is a little less smooth than 165Hz, it's more accessible for a novice gamer.

CQ32G1: 144Hz

The 144Hz refresh rate provides smooth images while gaming. Though you don't need a high refresh rate for open world games, it does provide fast-moving images if you switch to a shooter.

Resolution

Full HD resolution of the 24-inch AOC gaming monitor

C24G2U/BK: Full HD (1920x1080)

Full HD is enough for all game types, but has more advantages for competitive gaming. On the 24-inch screen, the Full HD resolution comes out best. On screens larger than 24 inches, pixels stretch more and the image looks grainy. As mentioned before, a Full HD gaming monitor refreshes images faster. That's useful if you play competitive games.

QHD resolution of the 27-inch AOC gaming monitor

Q27G2U/BK: QHD (2560x1440)

The QHD resolution of the AOC Q27G2U/BK shows more details when gaming. You can experience lively images, sharp colors, and your games look more realistic. You do need a powerful video card for QHD gaming. Take the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or even an RTX 3080 for example, which provide extra power and ensure you're more futureproof.

CQ32G1: QHD (2560x1440)

On the 32-inch screen of the AOC CQ32G1, you can enjoy open world games extra sharply thanks to the QHD resolution. The size and resolution of this AOC monitor also make it suitable for console gaming. The same applies for PC gaming as the Q27G2U/BK. QHD gaming requires a powerful video card, such as the NVIDIA RTX 3070 or RTX 3080.

Curved or flat screen

C24G2U/BK: curved

The curve in the screen of the AOC C24G2U/BK ensures an immersive gaming experience. Thanks to the curve in the screen, it's like you're right in the middle of the game. And the viewing distance is the same everywhere, so your eyes can take in the whole screen. The only disadvantage is that the effect on a 24-inch screen isn't the same as on a 27 or even 32-inch screen.

Flat screen of the 27-inch AOC gaming monitor

Q27G2U/BK: flat

The flat screen of the Q27G2U/BK makes the monitor suitable for all types of games. Though the VA panel isn't as sharp as an IPS panel, your games run smoother. And thanks to the size of the AOC Q27G2U/BK, the flat screen takes up less space than a 27-inch curved monitor.

Curved screen of the 32-inch AOC gaming monitor

CQ32G1: curved

Combined with the curve in the screen, the large 32-inch size ensures an immersive gaming experience. The curve in the screen makes it feel like you're right in the middle of the game. For example, you can play GTA V in first player mode for the ultimate open world experience, or enjoy the vast fields in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

Conclusion

AOC mainly focuses on gaming monitors. They offer many types, each with their own advantages. Are you a competitive gamer and looking for a higher refresh rate? Choose the AOC C24G2U/BK. With the Q27G2U/BK, you can enjoy a high refresh rate, a higher resolution, and more screen space. Do you want an immersive gaming experience when playing open world games?
