It sets a lower and an upper humidity level for safe operation and is measured in percentage.

DCI P3 is a color space, introduced in 2007 by the SMPTE. It is used in digital cinema and has a much wider gamut than the sRGB. Power supply and consumption Information about the power supply and consumption, energy efficiency class, etc. 110V The NTSC (1953) color space is introduced in 1953 by the FCC with the appearance of color television and has a wider gamut than the sRGB.The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe. Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video. A mild LBL setting, reducing the blue channel a fair bit from factory defaults whilst maintaining a strong green channel. Image appears warmer with a bit of a green tint, which our eyes adjusted to in time. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene.

We also made observations using TV series Futurama. This is a particularly unforgiving test for colour consistency, highlighting weaknesses there very prominently due to many large patches of individual shade. The monitor provided a good performance in that respect. There were shifts for some shades, such as the red of Dr Zoidberg and also some pastel shades appearing slightly darker towards the extreme side edges. And some shades such as certain purples appeared more pinkish towards the extreme edges. But these shifts were quite minor really and certainly less apparent than the saturation shifts observed on TN or VA models. They were also less noticeable than on the predecessor to this model, as noted with respect to the game titles just above. Our observations in games were echoed here with respect to saturation levels. Extra vibrancy and saturation, which made pastel shades look somewhat deeper or more eye-catching than intended for example. But which also made for some rather eye-catching neon shades, such as bright pinks, greens and purples. The deviations from the developers intentions and what was presented weren’t as great here as with models with even more generous colour gamuts, but clearly ‘beyond sRGB’.

The full capability of the monitor including 1920 x 1080 (Full HD or 1080p) @165Hz can be leveraged via DisplayPort, whilst HDMI is limited to a maximum of 144Hz on this model. AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia’s ‘G-SYNC Compatible Mode’ is supported on compatible GPUs and systems via suitable versions of DP – HDMI. Compatible Intel graphics hardware can also leverage Adaptive-Sync via DP. Standard accessories include a power cable, HDMI cable and DP cable but may vary regionally. As shown above the standard RGB (Red, Green and Blue) stripe subpixel layout is used. This is the default expected by modern operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. Apple’s MacOS no longer uses subpixel rendering and therefore doesn’t optimise text for one particular subpixel layout to the detriment of another. You needn’t worry about text fringing from non-standard subpixel layouts and won’t need to change the defaults in the ‘ClearType Text Tuner’ as a Windows user. You may still wish to run through the ClearType wizard and adjust according to preferences, however. The subpixel layout and arrangement is normal and we had no subpixel-related concerns related to sharpness or text clarity on this model. The wide color gamut is one of the main things that made the AOC 24G2 stand out from the other 24″ 1080p high refresh rate IPS gaming models. As expected, there’s some IPS glow, but its intensity will vary from unit to unit and should be manageable in all except for the most extreme cases. Though white point is slightly lower than factory defaults and blue light output is marginally reduced, this does not have the effect that a Low Blue Light (LBL) setting should.

The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. Variable refresh rate is supported for tear-free gameplay with a 48-165Hz dynamic range over DisplayPort and 48-144Hz over HDMI. You get smooth performance with both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs despite the monitor not having official G-SYNC Compatible certification (at least not yet). Note that the ‘Overdrive’ setting can be adjusted under MBR. Our preference was for ‘Medium’ for similar reasons to with ‘MBR’ disabled and that’s what we use for this analysis. ‘Strong’ didn’t provide a significant improvement in our view but introduced some rather eye-catching bright overshoot in places. ‘Weak’ and ‘Off’ were too slow overall, adding some conventional trailing and ‘strobe crosstalk’. Also be aware that setting the ‘Overdrive’ to ‘Boost’ is equivalent to using the ‘Strong’ setting and setting ‘MBR’ to ‘20’. If you come across a different type of panel or your AOC 24G2 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know, and we'll update the review. Note that some tests, like gray uniformity, may vary between individual units. As defaults with a significant boost in gamma. Appears quite ‘contrasty’ and cinematic, with significant crushing together of darker shades in particular.

Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. The storage altitude shows the maximum possible altitude for secure storing of the display. Storing it above this limit may result in damaging the display. I also rather like how vibrant the colours look here, and for good reason. The panel covers around 91% of the DCI P3 spectrum – a great result in this sort of class for sure. To top it off, AOC actually under-reported the panel’s brightness. They list it at 300 nits, but I recorded it at a little shy of 500 nits! That’s a substantial improvement, and for brighter environments that can make a big difference in usability for sure. It’s not quite bright enough for any level of good HDR support, despite the HDR modes available in the on screen menu. What also impressed me was the colour accuracy, with my SpyderX reporting an average DeltaE of just under 1, which is excellent and makes this a great choice for anyone who wants to game and do content creation.Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image.
