The AOC CQ32G1 is an impressive package. It's not perfect in every respect, and given the extra money we'd still consider Samsung's C32HG70, although that seems to be less easy to buy now. The Iiyama G-MASTER G3266HS-B remains great value at the other end of the scale. However, AOC's option sits perfectly in between.
The image quality is good, and you get plenty to play with in the OSD. We would have liked a USB hub, but you do get fast 144Hz refresh with FreeSync. You also get a higher resolution than the Iiyama screen for not a huge amount more money. If your graphics can handle 2,560 x 1,440 – and a lot can these days – then this is an appropriate number of pixels for this screen size.
Overall, then, this is a great value 32in curved gaming screen. If you're looking for a more immersive experience at about the right resolution for 32in, with high refresh and adaptive sync, this screen should very much be on your list, and possibly at the top.
The AOC C32HG70 is available from Overclockers UK for £359.99.
Alternatively you can buy from Amazon UK for £319.99 HERE
