Anyone familiar with AOC’s existing OSD menu will feel right at home with the AG251FZ. It sports the usual AOC interface that pops up from the bottom bezel and stretches across most of the panel, thus allowing for a spacious and reasonably logical interface.

Access is via a combination of actual physical buttons along the right-bottom of the bezel, plus the aforementioned plug-in controller. Ease of use is certainly a strong point.

In terms of the basics, AOC covers off everything you’d expect. Brightness, contrast and gamma are simple enough to tweak. You can also either choose from a range of colour temp presets or opt to hand tune colours per channel.

  

But the real interest lies in the Game Setting submenu. Here you can toggle the AG251FZ’s various game-centric capabilities, namely the ultra-fast Game Mode, the low input lag mode and multiple levels of pixel overdrive.

 

For the record, it’s also nice to see that the AG251FZ supports its top 240Hz refresh out of the box.

 

Some recent high-refresh panels have required a trip into the OSD to toggle a so-called ‘overclocking’ mode to enable the highest advertised refresh. That is a pointless gimmick, so props to AOC for resisting it.
