AOC CQ32G2SE Review - 32” Curved 1440p 165Hz Monitor - TechteamGB

[@jeffharper6259]

Reviews like this keep consumers from wasting their limited disposable income (if they have any during the pandemic) and are necessary because on paper this monitor does tick off a couple good options at it's price point. Thank you for another honest review that was both thorough and tolerable :)

[@talalbyt]

Totally agree

[@Alex_Bket]

agree too!

[@kylenelson6334]

I know this video is about a year old, but you are a life saver. I'm about to return a monitor because it's defective and I was looking at getting this one, but it seems like the ghosting is even worse than my current monitor which is already annoying enough.

[@TechSway]

I've always been a fan of AOC ever since I used one of their screens back in 2007 or 2008. It was a TV rather than a monitor but it was good at the time, budget-friendly and used for a console, PC and TV at the same time. Been recommending some of their monitors to friends over the last few years.

[@ericdreizen1463]

Oh yeah, AOC RULES! Especially since she wore that dress! lol!!!!!

[@MrMcGreed]

I can from a 75hz 27" to a AOC Q32G1WG4 (32" 144hz) - quiet an upgrade! IT's not as bright as I want and I do experience some ghosting in CS:GO - but I honestly don't think I'm good enough at FPS games, where an upgrade over this would matter... I am tempted to buy an ultrawide though ...

[@acurisur]

As an update to this review, the point made at the end that you could buy the Gigabyte G32QC for similar money but better performance, well not any more. This monitor goes for around £220 now, where as the Gigabyte G32QC is at least £100 more, which reframes the review imo. This is worth considering if you want a budget 32inch 1440p high refresh rate monitor and you don't play any competitive shooters where response time is important.

[@ag0nii]

I bought this monitor after reading multiple reviews and videos. So hyped i booted it up and the ghosting and smearing is insane.. Yeah the colors and brightness are great and the image is nice but it is really unplayable when playing games like Elden Ring or any competitive shooters.. Im going back and returning it. Just wish i saw this video before i wasted my time =D Thnx for a great video

[@ultranova9599]

Did you even try the overdrive on it?

[@ag0nii]

@@ultranova9599 i tried every "trick" i could find. Nothing helped

[@ultranova9599]

@@ag0nii I've decided to trust this and skip this model. I'm going to see about getting the C32G2ZE model. It's FHD instead of QHD. But it has 240hz which is more than enough. Did you end up returning your monitor?

[@ag0nii]

@@ultranova9599 yeah i did. got an LG UltraGear 32GP850 31.5 instead. It´s great. no ghosting or anything.

[@ultranova9599]

@@ag0nii yeah it won't have ghosting as that lg one is a IPS panel. I'm looking for a curved one.

Excellent review!!!! Finally real tests compared to reading manufacturer specs only like some "reviewers" on youtube do. Congrats!

[@captaingoli9785]

Thank you for being very honest and straight forward. Good review keep it up

[@Youneedashower12]

its now 200 on Newegg and is pretty good at the price point for a curved 32in monitor

[@shaggyoregano1968]

Do you know if it worked for ps5

[@danimayb]

​@@shaggyoregano1968 Yes any monitor will work with PS5. Unless you mean will you get 1440p with 120hz? According to Sony, The PS5 only guarantees 120hz through HDMI 2.1.. But some people have said they have 1440p 120hz working on their monitors with HDMI 2.0, And others not.. So I'm not sure what's going on there? It sounds like a bit of gamble whether a particular monitor with HDMI 2.0 will get you 120hz or not.. But if the monitor has HDMI 2.1, Then it will work 100%. Weird but that's all I've heard on the subject.

Great review as usual. Keep it up! You're doing great!

[@psy-locked2366]

Thanks, @TechteamGB, you saved me from wasting money. This has to be one of the most daunting tasks to replace older 60hz 27" monitors.

[@jaylonthorne9282]

Why did I not find this channel sooner 😓 quality video, love your in depth review.

[@retrotechpinas3640]

just saw your review on the CQ27G2 and it is fairly positive. Aren't they suppose to be using the same panel as this one? And on the CQ27G2U review for example it got an input lag of around 12ms and you said "it is a fairly decent result" whereas that CQ32G2SE which got 6ms and you said "it isn't fantastic". Don't get me wrong, I knew nothing about monitor reviews I'm just confused by the terms being used and just asking for clarification.

[@wa2368]

Reviewer has ulterior motives.

[@rayyanpicture]

8 month and still no response from his majesty

[@TRSmanic]

Appreciate the review !! Had already purchased the monitor because I have last year's 1920x1080 model an its great for the money. Seems like they dropped the ball on this one. Canceled my order an went with the Samsung g5 instead

[@jaylonthorne9282]

Same

[@meliherdogan5120]

And what are your impressions about the g5?

[@TRSmanic]

@@meliherdogan5120 Wicked monitor for the price point !! Been my main one since I made this post, I'd say just make sure you have the pc power to run such a monitor at full potential. G5 is the perfect happy medium !! Would recommend 👌

🙂 thanks for the review

[@xXDeltaXxwhotookit]

Not had a great experience with AOC for larger screens... That one is probably OK for a work environment / utilitarian usage - just nothing demanding

[@RARRRRRRRRRRR]

Thanks for your hard work and honest review. Too bad false claims on this one. What did you recommend again? The other monitors? The Acer and Gigabyte model numbers please. I would like to buy a curved 32in. What is the best VA in your opinion? True 1 ms G2G, at least 165 mhz etc. thanks

[@thegenxgamerguy6562]

I know that it's been a while but I need a 32" screen for a special application. I decided for the Gigabyte model. 4 Euros more expensive but MUCH more bang for the buck.

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

Bro! Your channel is Criminally Underrated! I would love to see this test done with a OLED 120hz

[@GabrielHaller]

What about the AOC C32G2AE/BK 31,5 inch tho ? Does it have the same problems ?

[@garethroot2459]

i myself just bought this as a monitor till i buy my new one, safe to say its for story mode games, NOT fps

[@Nektopoulo]

Just picked one up at MC for $260US to replace the AOC 27" curved FHD version

[@limav1501]

How do you make the colours like that? I connect it to my laptop via hdmi, it has a light yellow tint. Its like a low strength blue mode/night mode, but I have both turn off. Its annoying

[@thelast_fugitive]

Could anyone recommend me a HQD gaming monitor with a $250 budget in Amazon? I was excited to get this one but it doesn't seem like the right option now.

[@JOHNOOH]

This monitor is now £260. I assume that makes it worth purchasing or is there a better alternative at the minute? Thanks

[@raulv98]

I'm in the same boat. The main competitor (Samsung G5) is now out of stock indefinetly as far as I can see and everything else is at least 50 Euro more

[@kennywu5695]

I just bought this two days ago. Absolutely love it. I think maybe I was lucky but the ghosting is way overstated in this review I think. The picture is gorgeous and I can play cs go and atomic heart on this no problem.

[@raulv98]

@@kennywu5695 bro same. It was something like 250€ and it looks beautiful. These reviewers are comparing this to an 500€ G7 or something

[@literaldeath9572]

What device do you use to measure your response times?

[@Zalami84]

Is this the same model as the AOC CQ32G2E. Almost the same model number besides the S. This is what I ordered and just tried to cancel because of your review. If it's the same model then thanks cause I definitely have just dodged a bullet. When they bring it for delivery I'll be asking for them to take it back.

You can't recommend this monitor (for high-end PC gamers) due to its input lag? but what about console gamers? what about photo editors, video editors, or content creators who doesn't ultra fast input lag? or perhaps even a more basic entertainment like watching HD videos? is it still not recommended?

Is it better than MSI Artymis MPG 323cqr 32inch ?

[@CambridgePunk]

Has there ever been a monitor with a soundbar bolted to the bottom? All in One PCs exist for an eternity now, but why has nobody ever bothered to add something a little less pathetic than integrated 1.5 Watt speakers?

[@errorcode503]

Most people would use another audio source anyway so it would be a lot of wasted money considering most people wouldn't use it so most people would rather buy another monitor without it for a lot less money. The only people that would buy it wouldn't mind having less good audio than what could be found with a separate pair of speakers or a good set of headphones for the same price you pay extra for the inbuilt soundbar and they would be very into minimalism and reducing clutter and a separate soundbar is somehow too much cluter or they would move around the monitor a lot and don't want to deal with an extra audio output so it would be an incredibly niche product which about 10 people would want and probably wouldn't make much (if any) profit.

[@CambridgePunk]

@@errorcode503 I know exactly what you mean and I have taken that into account. It’s just that this monitor clearly isn’t great. With 34” one could totally add a few medium great speakers to the bottom and make a home office and WebEx behemoth out of it. I own a monitor with integrated speakers and they aren’t just junk, they also point the wrong way.
