Product Information

The SpyderX Elite was also used to analyse variation in the colour temperature (white point) for the same 9 quadrants. Alternatively, you can use AMD FreeSync,which provides a variable refresh rate for compatible graphics cards to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering completely.

Some overshoot is also visible in places, though this is largely absorbed by the strobe crosstalk for ‘MBR = 20’.The Acer reference is well-tuned here with a mere whiff of ‘powdery’ trailing and a touch of overshoot. Whilst the screen doesn’t have the same ‘premium’ feel of some, usually with metal stands, it still feels quite solid overall for a budget offering.

Gamers on a budget will finally be able to enjoy competitive FPS titles with excellent image quality, but without any prominent motion blur. This feature is used regardless of VSync setting, so it’s only above the ceiling of operation where the VSync setting makes a difference. The deviation between each quadrant and the quadrant closest to the 6500K (D65) daylight white point target was analysed and a DeltaE value assigned. Even then the weaknesses are not massive, but it produces some ‘powdery’ trailing that is a bit bolder and therefore has a more significant impact on perceived blur compared to transitions confined to medium shades.You can see significant extension beyond sRGB for green shades and some cyans as well as for the red to blue edge of the gamut. The stand attaches centrally using a quick-release mechanism, with stand released by pressing a switch upwards. When MBR is not active, the backlight of the AOC 24G2 144Hz monitor is flicker-free as it doesn’t use PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) to regulate brightness.

Most IPS monitor barely breach 1000:1, so this is still a good characteristic even if the improvement it brings are considered minor. A 4ms grey to grey response time, alongside a 1ms MPRT response time using the included strobe backlight setting – but as usual, pay little attention to such specified response times.

High-performance monitors are one of his fixations and he believes that it’s every citizen’s right to enjoy one.

There is some variance in the backlight’s spread, but it’s not noticeable unless you have an all-black image on or if you scan the monitor with a colorimeter. It’s a budget model, but its build quality is decent enough to be comparable with its more expensive counterparts. The overshoot appeared with interlaced horizontal lines of alternating slightly lighter and darker version of the shade, both of which are brighter than the background as expected from bright overshoot trailing.

This was generally observed lower down the screen as a cool grey haze, though can appear slightly warmer for some sections of the screen and depending on viewing angle. Adjust grey levels for better picture detail and brighten dark areas or sink them back into blackness on the fly, without affecting the rest of the display.
