When I plonked my X-Rite Display i1 Pro colour calibrator on it, for example, it's default Warm colour temperature profile was already displaying a whopping 98.8% of the standard sRGB colour gamut.

Thankfully, there was no such grain effect to be seen here, and the quality of the C24G1's curved VA panel impressed straight out of the box. That gaming monitor, you may remember, was meant to be the successor to the G2460PF, but was completely spoiled by a horrible grainy screen coating that made everything look fuzzy and hard to see. I must admit, I was fully expecting the C24G1 to be another AOC G2590PX-style disaster when I first got it out of the box. AOC C24G1 specs:Įxtras: AMD FreeSync, height-adjustable stand Priced at just £173 / $145 at time of writing, this 24in, 1920x1080, 144Hz, FreeSync monitor is even cheaper than the G2460PF and its curved VA panel is just as good.

The only problem is that it's getting on a bit now, and is becoming increasingly difficult to track down. With its sub-£200 / $200 price, 144Hz refresh rate and superb TN panel, it's by far one of the best screens around for those on a budget. For years, the AOC G2460PF has been sitting atop our best gaming monitor list unchallenged and undefeated.
