High refresh rate gaming has been swiftly gaining in popularity over the years, but more often than not, making the jump to 144Hz is an expensive endeavour. Fortunately, we are starting to see more budget-friendly options hit the market, including AOC's latest ‘G90' monitor, which sports a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time for £219.

We first saw the AOC G90 range in February, consisting of three models delivering 60Hz, 75Hz and 144Hz options. Now, AOC is bringing another option to the table- the AOC G2590FX, targeting those on a tighter budget. The monitor has a 24.5” TN panel boasting a 1ms response time, 1920×1080 full HD resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate and with AMD’s Radeon FreeSync technology incorporated. With all of that combined, PC gamers can enjoy silky smooth visuals without any unsightly tearing or stuttering issues.

Specifications also include much-improved viewing angles (170°/160°), 400 cd/m² brightness and the inclusion of ‘FlickerFree technology’ and ‘Low Blue Light’ mode for a more comfortable gaming experience all around.

The slick 3-sided frameless design gives the monitor a real premium finish that we don't often see on budget-oriented gaming displays. It also paves the way for seamless multi-monitor setups. The stand offers tilt adjustment from -3.5° to 21.5° but the display also comes with standard 100x100mm VESA mounting, so you could easily take if off and put it on a third party monitor arm, or wall mount it.

You’re not left wanting for connection choices either, with the G2590FX offering VGA, DisplayPort 1.2 and 2 x HDMI 1.4 inputs. Like the rest of AOC’s G90 monitor range, this screen also comes with various eco-friendly certifications too.

AOC has made this feature-rich yet wallet-friendly gaming display available at an MSRP of £219. It already seems to be available at UK retail, with some even offering it for under the MSRP price! Of course, you will need an AMD graphics card to make use of the FreeSync technology though.

KitGuru Says: AOC is a respected global brand in gaming monitors and this latest addition to the G90 family is packed with specifications and features that are desirable to many PC gamers, particularly at this price point. Would you be interested in picking one up?

AOC’s G90 series frameless high refresh-rate monitors will land in the UK this month https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/monitors/matthew-wilson/aocs-g90-series-frameless-high-refresh-rate-monitors-will-land-in-the-uk-this-month/ https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/monitors/matthew-wilson/aocs-g90-series-frameless-high-refresh-rate-monitors-will-land-in-the-uk-this-month/#respond Thu, 15 Feb 2018 18:08:48 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=364278 AOC is expanding on its 'frameless' G90 range of gaming monitors with three new additions- each sporting refresh rates higher than 60Hz.

This time last year, AOC began venturing into the world of ‘frameless' monitors, ditching bezels and creating more appealing displays, particularly for those who like to have multi-monitor setups. Now this year, AOC is expanding on its G90 range, with three new ‘frameless' gaming displays, each equipped with higher refresh rates, breaking the bounds of 60Hz.

There are three new G90 series monitors, two 24-inch models and one 27-inch one. All of them come with a 1920×1080 resolution TN panel, 1ms GtG response time and support AMD FreeSync for variable refresh rates. The key difference between each one is the native refresh rate of the monitor. The G2590VXQ has an MSRP of £159 and has a 75Hz refresh rate, meanwhile the G2590PX has an MSRP of £349 and has a 144Hz refresh rate. Finally, the 27-inch G2790PX comes with an MSRP of £309 and also has a 144Hz refresh rate.

Each monitor utilises AOC's 3-sided frameless design, which essentially means minimal bezel on the top and sides, though the monitor will have a bit of a chin. Either way, this design choice makes these monitors perfect for lining up side by side for triple-screen gaming, or just general use.

In terms of connectivity, you'll get 2 HDMI ports, one DisplayPort and a VGA output on all three monitors. The two 144Hz models come with a built in USB 3.0 hub too.

All three monitors should be popping up at retailers imminently. We had a quick look at Overclockers UK and SCAN but couldn't find any in stock just yet. However, availability should be coming shortly, so if you are interested, then keep an eye out.

KitGuru Says: I would have liked to have seen a 1440p option, but perhaps that will come a bit later. Are any of you currently shopping around for a new gaming monitor? Would you go for something like this for a multi-monitor setup?
