ViewSonic XG270 vs AOC 24G2

The main difference is the size. I recommend XG270 instead of AW2720HF and XG2431 instead of XB253Q GX. They have really good blur reduction implementations and are otherwise similar. VG259QM is also good if you just want a fast monitor

lol As for the bad review about size, the person is obviously not measuring it right so no need to worry about getting sent the wrong size.

Personally though, there's no *perceptible* difference between my unit's contrast ratio and my XG270, which was rated at >1000:1 by RTINGS. But like RTINGS said, YMMV.

The contrast ratio is fine, a little low but fine, and black uniformity is decent enough. There are plenty of OSD features and an easy enough navigation system. Out-of-the-box color settings are good enough for me but the brightness was a bit high at 90/100. I recommend setting the overdrive to the middle setting (I think it's called normal?) and in the display menu in NVIDIA Control Panel I recommend changing the custom NVIDIA color settings to use the full color range instead of the limited range

Like I said though I'm not an expert on this stuff guys I can only really tell you what my eyes are seeing but yeah I love it it's now sort of joined ...

- I am currently up to 120 hz refresh rate vs. the desired 144 hz. This could be hardware induced since my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 5 15 with AMD RYZEN 4700U) does not have a Display Port and I am currently using a HDMI 1.4 connection

G-sync is pretty awesome, but the difference from a solid smooth 60 fps to 120 fps + was not nearly as revolutionary as everyone on the internet has led me to believe. And I still think a rock solid 60 fps looks fantastic. Anyways, the overall design of this monitor is great, and playing games on it is really enjoyable. But none of it was the revolutionary step forward that I'd never be able to return to 60 fps from, my LG OLED at 4k 60fps is a truly majestic beast, and next year I'll get the newer g-sync compatible LG OLED version and have the BEST OF ALL WORLDS!!! Muahahahahah

I went with the Asus vp249qgr over the AOC 24G2 in the end to avoid the horrible 'gamer' aesthetics. May last monitor lasted me 11 years and I don't want to be living with that red thing.

I might also give this 5-stars if the customer service gave quicker replies/service. In my mind, they could definitely move a bit quicker on their customer service end.

Good resolution. Tilts up, down, and side to side which is nice. My only complaint is that you can’t adjust the brightness or contrast (or much of anything else, picture-wise) without a 3rd party app. Ok for gaming, easy to see in dark areas like caves or at night in-game, but the contrast is so high that dark colors look almost black and lose definition in bright, daytime conditions (also in-game)

The TN-like response times are swift. It has very good motion blur reduction (when it does work). I hope that ViewSonic puts out a firmware update soon to fix this issue.

Oh, and it also has excellent response times and a great warranty. I will update this review if anything changes. This monitor is hard to find, I had to watch amazon for a month to get it, but if you see it available for $180, it's an excellent deal. UPDATE 1/21 (Original review posted 5/20): The dead pixel is no longer there, it must have been only a stuck pixel and I cannot see any defective pixels any more
