AOC launches budget-friendly high refresh rate monitors for gamers

AOC has added two entry-level gaming monitors to its G4 line, replacing the previous G2 models. The 24G4XE and 27G4XE are designed with FHD resolution and a 180Hz refresh rate, catering to cost-conscious gamers or as an ideal secondary monitor.

Available in 24-inch and 27-inch sizes, both models feature 1080p resolution and a 180Hz refresh rate. While they may not be the fastest panels on the market, their affordable price point makes them accessible to many gamers. Both versions share similar specifications, including a Fast IPS panel with 1ms GtG response time and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.

In addition to the core specs, these monitors come loaded with gaming-specific features such as G-Sync and Adaptive Sync. AOC also highlights HDR10 compatibility, although the lack of local dimming and the maximum brightness of 300 nits may limit the HDR experience.

For enthusiasts looking to mount their monitors, the 100×100 VESA compatibility is included. Meanwhile, AOC has opted for a flat and compact base design, providing extra desk space for gamers who prefer a diagonal keyboard position. However, the ergonomic features are limited, with only tilt support provided. Both versions have two HDMI 2.0 connections, one DisplayPort 1.4, two 2W speakers, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The 24G4XE and 27G4XE are priced at £139.99 and £159.99, respectively, with a three-year warranty.
