AOC 24G2 Review

The 24G2 is AOC's long-running budget 144Hz favorite, frequently recommended as a "best budget 144Hz" pick thanks to a fully adjustable ergonomic stand rarely found at this price point.

The IPS panel delivers a standard sRGB gamut without wide-color-gamut claims, appropriate for its budget gaming positioning rather than color-critical work. 144Hz with a 1ms MPRT response time offers a meaningful step up from standard 60-75Hz budget monitors, delivering noticeably smoother motion for mainstream gaming. Against the Gigabyte M27Q X also in this catalog, the 24G2's smaller 23.8-inch size and lower 144Hz refresh rate reflect its more budget-focused positioning, while the M27Q X targets a step-up 240Hz QHD experience.
