Game Color

AdaptiveSync + NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and 144Hz Refresh Rate

Game without tearing or stuttering. Your graphics card pushes images to your monitor as fast as it can, but traditional monitors refresh their images at a set rate. When your graphics card delivers frames outside of that schedule, your monitor shows a portion of one frame and the next frame onscreen simultaneously, resulting in tearing. Tearing is very disruptive in the heat of battle.

AOC G2590FX with 144Hz refresh rate + AdaptiveSync & NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible technology synchronizes the display refresh rate with the GPU in your PC, eliminating screen tearing, stutter and lag. Objects look sharper, and game play is super-smooth.

1ms GTG Response Time

A response time of 1ms Grey-to-Grey (GTG) means pixels respond with speed without the smear for an enhanced gaming experience. Fast-moving action and dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without the annoying effects of ghosting, a must have for serious first person shooter games. Choose the right path to success; do not let a slow display stop you.

AOC Clear Vision and AOC Game Color

Regardless of the input, AOC Clear Vision up-converting SD content to HD for even sharper imagery, great for gaming on your favorite retro consoles.

AOC Game Color providing 20 levels of grey level adjustment for boosting even more details out of your gaming and movie scenes.

    The Faded Colors are Not the Displays Fault, its HDMI and your Driver
    5 Stars
    The Faded Colors are Not the Displays Fault, its HDMI and your Driver
    As with any display, if you use HDMI, the colors likely appear faded. This is likely because your graphics driver is detecting the monitor as an Ultra HD display, and not a PC display. This can easily be fixed by opening NVIDIA Control Panel (Sorry, I don't use AMD cards so I wouldn't know how to fix this for them, but I assume the concept is the same), then going to Change Resolution under Display, and selecting 1920x1080 under PC instead of the native Ultra HD setting of the same resolution (See included picture for details). You can now enable 144hz, but at the time of writing this review, NVIDIA does not support G-SYNC through HDMI, which is disappointing because this monitor only comes with an HDMI cable, so you will need to provide your own Displayport cable to use G-SYNC.Now, lets fix the faded colors. Right below the region where you changed the resolution, you should change [Use Default Color Settings] to [Use NVIDIA Color Settings] and then set the Output Dynamic Range to full. This will eliminate the faded blacks and greys and desaturated colors.I gave this monitor 5 out of 5 stars because it is affordable and with some minor, simple tweaks, my only real complaints were fixed. However, the colors weren't especially accurate and needed tweaked with the NVIDIA control panel beyond simply enabling Full Dynamic Range, and as well because it arrived with an HDMI instead of Displayport cable, which I imagine has lead to much confusion for other buyers not familiar with the differences between these two hookups, I nearly gave it 4 out of 5. I reiterate however that the faded colors and lack of 144hz out of the box is not entirely the displays fault, as almost always, graphics drivers auto-detect HDMI input as an Ultra HD display, so the only real drawback of this display has been that it shipped with a cable that does not support all of its features.As for the display itself, it is very bright, but not so that it becomes irritating. One very minor complaint about the hardware is that it lacks multiple buttons for changing physical settings on the display itself, and instead has a sort-of button/toggle, much like the sticks on an XBox or Playstation controller, that acts as both the mode selection and power button for the display. I would have preferred the typical button array, but the toggle works just as well. After some tweaking, colors aren't especially off, and the display actually looks very vivid. The contrast is good, and the response time is nice. I have no real complaints beyond the choice not to include a Displayport cable.If you are looking for a monitor for anything more than hobbyist Digital Art or Photo Editing, look elsewhere. While this monitor is very good for its price for gaming or general use, the 96% SRGB alone makes this a bad fit for you if you intend to use it for anything where highly accurate colors are important. I would recommend if you are on a budget looking for something with a lower refresh rate, but don't stray any lower than 1080p resolution.EDIT: Apparently this problem is not exclusive to HDMI, as when I switched to Displayport the display reset itself to the default Ultra HD setting, so it seems regardless you will need to change the settings on arrival. As well, this monitor flickers noticeably when using G-SYNC but not too much to be unbearable. This is, as far as I can tell, an issue with G-SYNC, and not necessarily exclusive to this monitor.

I would recommend if you are on a budget looking for something with a lower refresh rate, but don't stray any lower than 1080p resolution.

    EDIT: Apparently this problem is not exclusive to HDMI, as when I switched to Displayport the display reset itself to the default Ultra HD setting, so it seems regardless you will need to change the settings on arrival. As well, this monitor flickers noticeably when using G-SYNC but not too much to be unbearable. This is, as far as I can tell, an issue with G-SYNC, and not necessarily exclusive to this monitor.
