Having been someone who used IPS monitors for years, I was apprehensive at first about VA panels. Then i Found the AOC CQ32G1 on sale for $299 and decided to try it out. 32 inch curved 1440p monitor at 144 hz and 114% sRGB for $299? Sign me up! Initial impressions out of the box were that the build quality was fairly solid, and I/O was perfectly fine. The picture initially at default is kind of whack though. After doing some research, and trying some color profiles online, it still just wasn't impressing me. The brightness was just so low, and the colors weren't really breathing Well once I got this monitor mounted, it's like a night and day difference for brightness! Turns out if you mount these panels above eye level (about 10-15 degrees) the perceived brightness is much much better than at eye level. This seems to be true of all VA panels (I went to my local Micro center and kneeled in front of all the display panels to test it out) This little discovery prevented me from returning it, and went back home to continue tuning. Then I decided to sit for hours setting this monitor next to my IPS panels one by one, going through scene by scene, and tuning the settings to look as similar to my eyes as possible. I don't have a color calibration tool (used an old friends' tool for all my IPS panels), so this was the only way I could think of to get it calibrated. The RGB levels are SUPER sensitive, so it took a long time to get it tuned in. Below are the settings I used (YMMV greatly as there can be variances between each monitor, use as a jump off point then adjust to your needs): Contrast 52 Brightness 80 Gamma- Gamma 3 Red- 41 Green-48 Blue-46 Game mode- Off Free sync- On Game Color- 10 This monitor is now a complete night and day difference in color, clarity, and brightness compared to out of the box. It is still no replacement for an IPS panel if you are doing professional editing, but as a general purpose/gaming monitor it is one of the best values out there. The only gripe I have is that it still feels slightly warm after "calibration", but its not at all bothersome. I use this monitor in a bright room with a bay window without any issues in brightness, and do get some glare but it's no more than any other monitor. Games are crisp and colors "pop" without being noticeably saturated. The response times are just about as good as any mid-high TN panel. It has no issues maintaining 144hz, and I haven't had a single moment yet where I feel I need to make an adjustment while playing a game. I definitely can't speak more highly of this monitor for those who are just looking for a high quality experience, lots of real estate, and a good value. From here on out for all non professional editing where color accuracy is a must, I'll be sticking to VA panel technology, and AOC has definitely made customer out of me for future considerations. (This long rant brought to you by skil- Just kidding :P)

It's because it has had such a huge following for so long. They just use it as a baseline because "most" people can relate to what he sees and talks about when using it to review something. Also, most people don't play with settings like those that pro players use so it would not be beneficial to use those as a test. If he used PugG or Fortnite as a test I would have no clue how it translates because I don't play those and I know I'm not alone. So, they use a game that's been around forever that a wider range of players have likely played and can relate to.

As a customer you end up with a cheaper product, because eventually the customer also pays for the PR.

No, VA panels generally have great contrast. In fact, except OLED, they're the best when it comes to contrast. Where did you learn that they don't have good contrast? This monitor has a contrast ratio of 3000:1 while TN and IPS generally hover around 1000:1 or even slightly below that. The problem is that Linus "reviewed" the monitor with Game Mode on, which is a mode that LIFTS shadows and makes the screen look washed out. It's for competitive use, not accuracy. If you care about accuracy, you obviously turn that off. I have no idea why he turned it on for this review. He later turns it off, but he doesn't correct himself about the contrast. The damage is already done, because everybody now thinks this monitor is dull as hell because of what he said when using Game Mode. It's like if I reviewed an Asus monitor, then complained about it having terrible contrast after I turned up the shadows. *facepalm*

Everyone is saying that the bright picture setting is only for corners is missing the opportunity to set it to scale over the whole screen and adjust the contrast up, makes this panel brighter and things pop more. Add some game color and tweak the rgb to your liking and you got a pretty good picture! Coming from a 7 year old 24 inch piece of trash, this thing was like heaven sent even with its flaws.

For me a brick outside the monitor is a better “feature”, because if the power supply goes, its easier to replace the cable.
@SheepAmongG.O.A.T5 жыл бұрын
Bingo. Not a lot understand this, and the power supply Is almost ALWAYS the first thing to go, probably for every electronic device that uses similar built in power supplies. I've repaired multiple monitors via replacing the capacitors from the built in power supply. It's probably the first thing to go in PCs as well. Never looked at the statistics so guessing.
@georgewinchester64035 жыл бұрын
You're right external power supplies are much better for the average user that wants to keep his monitor for a long time. But for someone who knows electronic basics it shouldn't matter. Fixed many power supplies by replacing the failed caps with top of the line japanese ones and they worked fine for many years. It is true that power supplies are usually the first thing that dies in anything that connects to mains power

I have a 1440p 144Hz monitor, but my ancient GeForce 980 SLI setup can barely manage 1080p/60fps in modern games. So I get nearly zero benefit. I think that going above 1080p/60 is worth it, for sure, but you need a 1080Ti or better to really drive it. It takes a tremendous amount of GPU power to deliver 2K/4K at 144Hz.

I can see the "bright square" feature being useful in FPS games that uses darkness as a "blend in" feature. The Square can be placed in the middle, at the crosshair, and with one click on the monitor, you have full vision at night, without going to software settings.
