I have the AOC 144hz 24inch and honestly has been amazing for me, I wanted a taste of a 144hz and I wasn't too much of a try hard at every game I played but this monitor certainly made things fun that's for sure. Also messed with the colors a bit to get them to be as accurate as possible and everything looks great. Blacks look black and so on so forth. Only complaint is that I got 1 or 2 dead pixels in the top right corner but doesn't bother me.
