The AOC 24G2SPU includes various ‘Game Mode’ presets; ‘FPS’, ‘RTS’, ‘Racing’, ‘Gamer 1’, ‘Gamer 2’ and ‘Gamer 3’.

Given the intended uses for the monitor, inter-unit variation and pleasing performance on our unit with OSD tweaking alone we won’t be using any ICC profiles in this review or including any measurements or graphs using them. Both our responsiveness article and the G-SYNC article linked to explore the importance of these two elements being synchronised. IPS displays deliver 178/178-degree viewing angles while maintaining consistent image quality and colors from all viewing positions.

The UFOs move across the screen from left to right at a frame rate matching the refresh rate of the display.

The screen surface provides a light misty graininess to the image which is less noticeable than on many competing models. Fast-moving action and dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without the annoying effects of ghosting. This more focused look to the object with more distinct and clear internal detailing indicates a significant decrease in perceived blur due to eye movement, the main goal of a strobe backlight setting like this. Some overshoot is also visible in places, though this is largely absorbed by the strobe crosstalk for ‘MBR = 20’. Though we found the moderate strobe crosstalk ‘noticeable’ regardless and there are some other factors to consider, as explored shortly.

A key concept explored in the article is ‘perceived blur’, which is contributed to by both the pixel responses of the monitor and the movement of your eyes as you track on-screen motion. Also be aware that setting the ‘Overdrive’ to ‘Boost’ is equivalent to using the ‘Strong’ setting and setting ‘MBR’ to ‘20’. Note that individual units and preferences vary, so these settings are simply a suggestion and won’t be optimal for all users or units. Information about other features of the current model, which are important and have to be specified. It emanates from the corners of the screen and blooms out more strongly from steeper angles, as demonstrated in the viewing angles video later.
