AOC Q24G2A Review (23.8in 1440p)

Rating: 8.0.

Today we are reviewing a monitor that is one of AOC's most popular models in China. It recently landed in Europe and we are told it is already flying off the shelves. We're talking about the Q24G2A, a display that offers the unique combination of a 23.8in panel size and 2560×1440 resolution. That's right, this is a 1440p display that doesn't even measure 24 inches diagonal. What's it like to use, and is the performance any good? We find out today…

Priced at £220 here in the UK, the AOC Q24G2A uses an IPS panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, offering a claimed 350 nit brightness and it is even G-Sync certified. The headline feature really is that combination of resolution and screen size though – typically we're used to 1080p panels at this sort of size, but with the 1440p resolution as used here, we can expect a pixel-dense experience.
