With my grandson of 13 we decided on a DIY gaming rig. The PC parts are fixed and ordered, now for the monitor.
Our gaming PC: Asus Rog Strix B450F MB with Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, GTX 1660 super GPU, 16Gb RAM, 250 Gb NVMe SSD for OS and gaming, and 1 Tb HDD for storage. We are already $ 300 over budget but still want an acceptable monitor.
Going through a lot of reviews, I keep seeing the AOC C24G2 144 Hz popping up as a very solid sweet-spot choice for our CPU-GPU level. Not the top for anything, there are monitors that have this a bit better or that a bit better, but those mostly either have other things much worse or are too $$$$, or don't have Display Port for FreeSync or G-Sync compatible, or are 60HZ only or 240 HZ, etc.
Anybody already any experience with the AOC C24G2 (U)?
Until now, personally and for our non-profit, I always worked with mid-higher level 4:3 Acer monitors and since 2016 with the BenQ BL2411. Very good monitors, also for video editing, still working perfect, but not for gaming in 2020 by a fanatic 13-year old.
He likes the RGB and would like to try a curved monitor, but we could not find anything good that matches specs with the C24G2. The AOC C24G1 seems to be a good sweet-spot curved monitor, but is a bit older type.
