I absolutely adored this review. Everything I need to know about the monitor is explained thoroughly... and with panache, I might add. I was worried about its pixel density which is also addressed in the review. I have decided that, at least for this specific topic and in my honest opinion, size is indeed favourable.

[@GuruGeek]

That is extremely kind of you to say, thank you so much Mel, you are a legend! Definitely pixel density is an issue but depending how close you are to your monitor it may not matter. If you are up close and personal definitely suggest the AOC CQ32G2E instead which is 1440p. Thank you again :)

[@markdavenportjr5129]

hmm nice how long does it take to adjust to the curve? I'm thinking of getting this or the Samsung G5 version depending on my budget next month. :)

[@GuruGeek]

It's almost not even noticeable as the curve is quite minimal, it subtly brings you in to the content. The G5 is a much steeper curve and may take a little more getting used to, that being said the G5 will most likely be a better monitor if you can get used to the curve. Let me know which you decide!

[@Subject56]

Dude this is hilarious, as soon as I saw it was only 1080p I decided against it but watched the review anyway because you cracked me up 😂

Sorta new to gaming and my current TV is stuffed and so been looking at TVs lately since I'm a console user and had a friend suggest a monitor instead since I only use my TV for games. Would you say this is a good monitor to get as a starting point instead of paying more for a TV (keep in mind, I only have the xbox series S)

[@GuruGeek]

Your friend is definitely on to something, most gaming monitors will have a far better response rate than TVs. This would be perfect for that. Keep in mind there are no speakers on the monitor though so you'll either need to plug direct into your Xbox or to the monitor headphone jack :)

That's all good! If you get it I hope it treats you well :)

[@absoluteloot2638]

Does it work for the ps5. By that I mean will it run 120fps with the hdmi 2.0 cord

[@GuruGeek]

It will run what you are looking for but, keep in mind, this is only 1080p, if you want 4k you'll need to look for something different :)

[@absoluteloot2638]

GuruGeek ok thank you that’s what I was looking for, 120fps with 1080 p

[@GuruGeek]

You're welcome! Bring on the PS5 BAYBEEEE!

[@SkyMuffinz]

Can you also force 1440p 120hz on the xbox series x when it comes out or does forcing 1440p keep it at 60? When I tried 1440p on the one x I couldn't get over 1440p 60hz and freesync wouldn't work.

[@GuruGeek]

In theory it should be possible to achieve 1440p at 120hz but we won't know what's truly compatible until release, might be worth waiting for release to see which monitors are most compatible with the Xbox. Just so you know this monitor in the video is only 1080p :)

[@SkyMuffinz]

@@GuruGeek I have the c32g2 america version curved 32 and it is labeled as a 1080p but runs 1440p at 60 hz on my xbox (if you go into xbox settings deep enough ) and 1080p 165hz on my pc. Also checked monitor settings and confirmed 1440p resolution so it is "working" even though it's sold as a 1080. So I guess my question is if I can get the same setup going with the series x at 1440p 120?

[@SkyMuffinz]

Might just be shrinking image and fake upscaling to 1440p to fit the 1080p pixels lol who knows

[@GuruGeek]

That is super interesting, didn't know that was possible! I mean the only thing you can do is wait and see really and then if not look at getting a new monitor.

[@GuruGeek]

You can actually run higher resolutions and it downscales to suit the monitors resolution. Sometimes provides crisper details but most of the time not worth it unless you have the higher resolution monitor.

i remember 5.25 inch floppies

[@ahmadsolehuddin6279]

Love it LOL

[@hosselen..]

Should i buy the AOC C27G2ZU/BK Or the AOC C32G2ZE/BK

[@GuruGeek]

As they are both only 1920x1080 monitors I would suggest getting the c27 over the c32. Anything above 27" I would recommend 2k or 4k resolution :)

[@AD-gb5ov]

Hey man is this resolution good for a 32 inch monitor?

[@GuruGeek]

I'll be totally honest, anything above 27" personally I would recommend 1440p but that being said it depends how close you are to your monitor. Like if you were sitting back with a controller or something then this would be fine but close and personal ideally 1440p. Hope that helps!

[@AD-gb5ov]

GuruGeek will you be able to visibly see the pixels from like a foot away

[@godkingmaximus2710]

I had to return this monitor due to being one of the reasons for random crashes during game play.

[@GuruGeek]

That is so strange, I have never heard of a monitor causing crashes before. Sorry to hear that :/

[@xMickyHDx]

love this mate thank you, is there ghosting on this monitor? Thanks

[@GuruGeek]

Much love thank you! Yes there is ghosting on this monitor, it isn't that bad and to be expected for the lower budget monitors. It's quite minimal that I don't even notice it but it is there. Still best value monitor I have owned for the price point :)

[@xMickyHDx]

@@GuruGeek absolute gent, thank you mate. I definitely overthink ghosting but let’s be honest it’s probably a more than capable monitor and can get it for 299 👍

[@GuruGeek]

Exactly right! It would be nice to have it all hahaha. I would recommend the 1440p version however. Or get the 27" version of this. Unless you plan on using it from a bit of a distance.

[@xMickyHDx]

@@GuruGeek I don’t really plan on using from a distance. Would you recommend 32 inch to play Xbox series s at 1440p 144hz?

[@GuruGeek]

I believe they support 1440p so it would definitely be worth it for that extra bit of crispness otherwise get the 27" Personally I find that 32 at 1080p is a little too stretched, but that's me

[@thanhtrung1274]

Hey mate it’s me again just got it for Christmas! There is a cord with a p letter on it where does that go?

[@GuruGeek]

MERRY CHRISTMAS! That's so good 😍 The P letter is probably the display port cable which goes into the display port of your graphics card but if you are using console then it will be HDMI. Enjoy!

[@sidcogan7193]

@@GuruGeek thank you and I’ve got a couple more questions. Do I need to use the display port? And also can a ps4 run with 165 hz even though it caps at 60? And also how do I turn it on? Merry Christmas!

[@GuruGeek]

Use the display port for pc hdmi for Ps4. The ps4 only runs at 60hz as well and it will be automatic. On PC you need to enable it in either Nvidia control panel or with the Radeon software.

[@sidcogan7193]

@@GuruGeek yep and also how do I turn it on it wouldn’t start I put in the power cable unless it wasn’t in properly. I don’t need to have the display port connected to start it do I?

[@GuruGeek]

If you are using it on PS4 you just need the power cable and hdmi plugged in.

[@LawsOnJoystick]

is there 3 models? 144/155/165hz? thanks

[@GuruGeek]

I believe there is only 2 of this variant, the c32g1(144hz) and the c32g2(165hz) but the G2 superceded the G1 so you might struggle to find the older model :)

Ok, thanks, i’ll try that

[@Wolfohh]

So I recently bought this monitor. I’ve plugged it in using HDMI 1 and have gone into the monitor settings and only shows 144hz yet the monitor is 165hz is there any solution to this?

[@GuruGeek]

What is it plugged into and what type of HDMI cable?

[@Wolfohh]

@@GuruGeek I plugged it into my RTX 2060 and I’m using the HDMI cord that came with the monitor.

[@GuruGeek]

Did it come with a display port cable as well? I would use that over the hdmi.

[@Wolfohh]

@@GuruGeek it did I will try that tomorrow and come back with the results. Since it’s currently 3am where I live.

[@GuruGeek]

Let me know how it goes, you'll probably need to set it to gsync and to 165hz in the Nvidia control panel too.

[@erikedward283]

Is there any difference between the C23G2 and the C23G2E

I believe it's to do with the region they are manufactured for because I can't seem to find anything on the c32g2.

It's only tilt and swivel adjustable, not height. The 27" version is height adjustable though.
