The AOC C32G2ZE is a tempting proposition for FPS gamers, and it's capable enough for everyday activities as well. The low Full HD resolution for its size might be less useful for some activities, and doesn't match the screen size for professional work. But it allows extremely high frame rates when gaming. Allied with FreeSync Premium adaptive synchronisation, you can be assured of making the most out of the 240Hz refresh, with the curvature adding immersion.
This isn't a screen packed with features, however. There's no USB hub built in, a traditional menu system without funky joystick control or external control puck, and not even built-in speakers. However, with Microsoft's Xbox also supporting FreeSync, it would be a reasonably affordable way of enjoying this with your console.
The other main deficit is most ergonomic adjustment, with just tilting available, not swivelling or height adjustment. We also noticed the screen does its best when calibrated, as doing so brought the average Delta E down from 2.2 to 0.84 in our testing, the latter being an excellent result for a monitor of this class.
In sum, as a screen primarily to be used for FPS gaming on PC or Microsoft Xbox, it is decent value at around £320. It may not be packed with features, but it doesn't lose the important core capabilities to make a competent high-refresh monitor for gamers.
