The monitor was connected to a Club3D Radeon R9 290 royalAce FreeSync-compatible GPU connected via DP. The central area has a brushed metal texture and the rest regular matte. We also know that, more often than not, you can improve the image with the right OSD tweaks – but will often need to go beyond that to get the best from the monitor. And this persisted regardless of the ‘Overdrive’ setting – unless of course you turned it off entirely, which then produced significantly conventional trailing instead.The saving grace for this monitor and indeed its major selling point is the inclusion of AMD FreeSync variable refresh rate technology. Following the application of our ICC profile on top of this the static contrast ratio remained unchanged at 1013:1. Optimize your game settings. This is a bit off-piste for us, but we have engaged with numerous users who have tested this profile for us on their G2460PFs over a range of game titles prior to the publication of this review.

Game Mode. Select which applications should use which settings and game sync will automatically adjust them as soon as the application starts.- LowBlue Modes: Long gaming sessions can be hard on the eyes. First, you probably understand that your TV or computer monitor isn’t just a dumb screen connected to a video cable. This monitor comes with 1.2mm ultra-narrow bezel and 4.2mm black screen border.Flicker Free technology uses a smooth backlight system to prevent monitor flickering. Click 'I accept' to accept cookies or read our LowBlue Modes mitigate the impact of blue light emitted from your monitor to give your eyes a break.- Light FX: If your monitor supports light effects, they can now be controlled with keyboard and mouse through AOC G-Menu.- Eco Modes: Activate Eco Modes to save power. But if specifications told the full story, there would be no need for a review, would there?Key talking points of the specifications are highlighted in blue below. Keep it enabled if you like it, or adjust it manually, but it’s not resulting in a faster picture.Let’s assume that game mode on your monitor or TV is the kind in the first example. It is our goal to provide you with a great display experience, whatever your specific needs. We also observed increasingly obvious overshoot as frame rate fell. Your monitor is an essential part of your gaming system. We do not feel they bring anything positive to the experience, though, as noted in the OSD video earlier. We still feel that having FreeSync enabled is of great benefit, overall, which outweighs this imperfect overdrive implementation.We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. The table below shows our observations using a range of settings, as well as gamma and white point readings taken with a Datacolor Spyder5ELITE colorimeter. With the ‘Strong’ setting there is extremely obvious overshoot, with the trail appearing either a bright blue (behind the body) or dark blue (behind the cockpit area) as different transitions are being performed. This is especially true for shooters and fighters played locally—split-screen rounds of Note that with a latency-busting game mode applied, your overall picture quality might go down, especially regarding brightness and color accuracy. If “game mode” on your TV or monitor is just a color setting, it might look brighter and more colorful in a generally appealing way, but it isn’t affecting the input lag in at functional level.

To the left of the stand base, as viewed from these rear, there is; USB 2.0 upstream, 2 further USB 2.0 downstream ports (4 total), a ‘Zero Power’ switch (to minimise standby power consumption) and an AC power input (internal power converter). when gaming) it becomes quite obvious that the ‘Light’ setting is preferable to ‘Medium’ due to the reduced overshoot at lower refresh rates. As a rather unusual step for an AOC monitor, there are some presets known as ‘Game Mode’ options in addition to the simple ‘Eco Mode’ preset brightness values. There is no need to run ClearType as a Windows user or any need to worry about ‘text fringing’ and other such issues caused by non-standard subpixel layouts in MacOS. Note that the attractiveness of having the monitor in portrait orientation is severely limited by its viewing angle restrictions. The advantage of G-SYNC is that Nvidia have tighter control of the image setup and pixel overdrive implementation and ensure consistency throughout the refresh rate range. The difference looks more pronounced in the shots given the presence of moire for the ‘Light’ and ‘Medium’ captures but not the ‘Weak’ capture – so apologies for that. AMD FreeSync Premium addresses this by keeping your monitor's refresh rate synced with your processor's. That depends. - Game Modes: AOC G-Menu offers three different modes that are pre-optimized for FPS, RTS and racing games and can be activated to enhance your gameplay with just one click of your mouse. It’s fainter than it is at 60Hz, especially when considering the red body of the UFO. Standard cables included with the screen are; VGA, Dual-Link DVI, DP, 3.5mm audio cable, USB cable and power cable.This model uses a medium (‘regular’) matte screen surface, as noted previously. Over 30 repeat readings were taken to maximise accuracy. This analysis reveals some interesting points to note about the pixel response behaviour of the monitor. We are now very familiar with this panel, as it’s used on the vast majority of 24” 144Hz monitors currently. AOC G2460PF 24-inch 144Hz FreeSync Monitor Review If you’re gaming on a budget, 24-inch TN monitors offers a lot of performance for the money. They pull various shades closer to the edge of the gamut, causing oversaturation and crushing the shade range. ‘Quadrant 1’ and ‘quadrant 2’ also deviated 12% from the central bright point, whilst 4 of the remaining 5 quadrants were 10% dimmer than centre. The monitor was therefore able to do a decent job at creating reasonably atmospheric dark scenes.
