Edit (8/18/19): .Update your motherboard bios especially if using new graphics cards like RTX series and new radeon RX series cards. I had an issue with old board bios that resulted in improper resolution output on new RTX cards causing blurriness in games. This monitor at 32 inches requires a powerful processor to transition the screen pixels and graphics card to see it at its best. I recently upgraded my motherboard to an MSI gaming plus and also got an intel I7 9700k with my RTX 2080. This monitor is now fully functional , textures in games are crisp and sharp, there is absolutely no more image/texture blur at this screen size. I cant explain how it happened but it seems the screen pixels are able to transition faster with this new hardware. I was using an i7 8700 non K version which i thought was powerful but with the new processsor i am hitting 144Fps consistently now and it shows with how clear the games look . don't get me wrong they looked good before but they totally look amazing now. If you can afford it get an i7 processor preferably a 9700k or 8700k.Also if you install the latest GeForce drivers version 436.02. u should try out the new texture sharpening tool. It is simply amazing. To use it u need to have GeForce experience installed, during gameplay press Alt +F3, on the overlay click one of the numbers either 1,2, or 3. Select the game filter command, and scroll down until u see sharpening, move the slider to adjust the sharpness and enjoy the visuals.Make sure to reinstall your graphics drivers after you hook this monitor up to your PC for the first time, Nvidia gives you the option to do a custom installation with a clean installation ,which will help to resolve any leftover conflicts with your previous monitor. Also, use the displayport cable that came with the monitor, I noticed that images in games were sharper compared to when I used any third party cable. I don't know if it just placebo but I tried using 4 other dp cables and the images were not as good in my opinion compared with the one added in the box.Okay on to the review,I took the plunge and bought this monitor. Its a 32 inch curved monitor and it is much larger than I thought it was going to be. if you have a small desk u might want to think of getting a larger one. I hooked it up to my pc using an RTX 2080 and it looked good but not great in gaming. I knew something was definitely off. I tried all kinds of configurations for 4 days but nothing worked until I played with the picture boost menu which I finally understood what it does. The picture boost option applies an extra virtual film over the screen which allows u to tweak the brightness and contrast more than in the luminance option. Just go into the menu under Picture boost and enable Bright frame to On , after that increase the frame size all the up to 100. My brightness setting in picture boost is 34 and contrast is 50.Adjust to ur own desire but I notice lower brightness improves in game shadows. I did notice if I used any of the present game modes (Hint: leave Game mode off) under game setting option, it would shut off Picture boost and I would have to enable it again and redo the entire process. I wish we could save our settings presets files in the monitor.Picture BoostBright Frame onFrame size 100Brightness 34Contrast 50Under Game settings,Game mode is off (if u enable, it will disable picture boost mode)set low blue mode to off ,overdrive to medium ( If you have a very powerful pc like an intel 8700k or higher with an RTX 2070 or higher , u might want to leave the overdrive setting off, it adds a lot of input lag and u don't really have that much blurriness with a very powerful pc and gpu.)Freesync to OnUnder luminance,Contrast is 45Brightness is 95 (lower it if you like)Eco mode standardGamma set to gamma 2DCR is offUnder Color SetupColor Temp is set to UserRed is 43Green is 48Blue is 49shadow control 50Once I setup this config, I can now fully say that this monitor is a must buy and I am now totally loving it. playing games on it has been very immersive and u just cant go wrong with this product. Once properly configured this monitor is amazing.Edit: I just want to add that this AOC monitor is G sync compatible. I previously used a Dell S2417DG TN panel G sync monitor, I can say that I am having a much smoother and consistent performance with this AOC freesync monitor in G sync mode. The problem which nobody wants to address is that G sync on native Gsync monitors is broken on Windows 10 since last years Windows March update, the micro stuttering on the Dell monitor with Gsync was driving me crazy. I am having a much better experience now with adaptive sync on this monitor. Games like Far cry 4 and 5 are much smoother. I don't think this monitor will ever get official Gsync compatible certification due to the freesync range of 48 - 144hz. Nvidia will only certify monitors that are 30- 144hz. Even with that , i don't get below 48 fps unless the game is broken like Gears of War ultimate edition. All my games are running fantastic and smooth , u will probably need a minimum of gtx 1070/gtx 1660 ti or Vega 56/Rx 580/590 to fully enjoy this monitor. In freesync mode , the monitor automatically caps ur max fps at 144, u can't go higher even on powerful Gpu.It helps to ensure you have a consistent experience while game, native Gsync doesn't do this and u need to cap it yourself manually. Once again, no regrets with this monitor and it is worth the money.

I would say that this product checks every box that I had when looking for a new monitor. This monitor does has the standard VA Glow, but that is on every VA panel I have seen and there are some reviews complaining about dead pixels but the monitor I received was in perfect condition. I bought this monitor because i wanted something with a higher refresh rate and would have G-Sync. The G-Sync on this monitor works perfectly with my RTX 2080, and I could not find anything this budget friendly.Pros:+ FreeSync / G-Sync (G-Sync works as soon as you click the box in the NVidia settings on.)+ VA panel+ Curved (This is a pro for me.)+ Good design (Not to "gamer" could fit in at an office.)+ 144 hz (High refresh rate makes windows 10 super fast.)+ Vesa compatible. (The stand is not adjustable, but it is a sturdy and good quality stand.)+ 1440p is great for this size monitor.Cons:- No built in speaker (This isn't a big deal for me as I always use headphones but it could be for you.)- Text can be blurry depending on the website. (This might be something in the settings or the fact that I switched from a 4K monitor.)

This is a great gaming screen if you're looking to upgrade from your typical 1080p screen. I love the curve of this screen that just helps to immerse me in the game. I don't sit super close to my monitor so having the curve is nice.Also, this screen can do up to 144Hz refresh rate which is awesome if you have a graphics card or a console that can do higher FPS. That was one of the main reasons I wanted this monitor.It works really well, it's a great value, the color is beautiful and the definition is nice as well. Love this monitor.

I bought the 31.5, curved 1440p, 144Hz panel. I really like the large curved screen, high resolution, and frame rate. I use the monitor for gaming and 3D modeling. The thin bezel is very nice, as well as the muted colors. I'm not a fan of super flashy monitors so this one is a nice balance as far as design goes. The stand is not height adjustable but I plan on using the available vesa mount in the future. I have a GTX 1080, and have yet to test the freesync compatibility, but so far it appears to be working! I will edit this review once i've had a chance to play a game using a high frame rate, and see if the monitor frames are syncing with the graphics card...Now for the critical stuff: the monitor came with one dead pixel and one bright dot pixel. I was able to activate the dead pixel by pressing on it, but not the bright dot. I'm gonna live with the one bright dot seeing as how they allow just one with their warranty...I don't notice it anyway, really had to search hard for it. There's a little bit of back light noticeable on very dark and very light colors, but its not that bad and to be expected with a monitor this large and at the lower price range. Another issue is color banding, gradients have very noticeable color banding. I messed with the settings for hours to try and improve this, as well as the settings with my graphics card. I'm certainly no expert on tuning graphics cards and monitors but it cannot be fixed from what I've gathered. I looked at every other screen I could find and now I see color banding everywhere I look. It's kind of a curse actually, I wish I would have never noticed it. Wish there was a solution for this. Overall great monitor that I will keep for years.

I've had this monitor for around half a year and it's been surprisingly good. I think 1440p >60fps gaming is an excellent for most modern PC hardware and the 32" display size with the 1800R curve provides a very immersive experience.The display itself is decent, not great but for the price is acceptable especially for gaming. In my experience the colours aren't the most accurate, and one of the biggest drawbacks of this particular display is how dim it is. However since it's a VA panel, the contrast is excellent (very deep blacks), the response time is good, and of course for gaming the 144Hz refresh rate provides a very smooth experience. Considering it's a VA the smearing isn't too bad either.The monitor itself is decent, pretty well built but I would recommend you get a VESA mount as the included stand occupies a lot of desk space. The I/O isn't great but it has all the ports you could need, just be aware that there aren't any speakers. One remark, while the physical bezels are very slim, there is an additional few centimeters beside the bezels that aren't functioning screen, so the bezels are thicker than you may expect. Not an issue for me however.Overall this is a solid value display for gaming, I think for the money it is one of the best all-around gaming panels balancing price, refresh rate, and resolution very well. I will update this review if any issues arise.

Amazing monitor for the price, i came from using an IPS display though, and when you compare side by side the IPS is definatly more "accurate" for a lack of words, I've played with every OSD setting on this monitor but can't get it to replicate the accuracy of my old IPS display (which again is to be expected, its a VA panel) i.e. facebook is a darker navy blue colo, on this monitor it shows up as more of a baby blue colour.There is a slightly noticable amount of blacklight bleed in some corners of this mornitor, not enough for me to go through the trouble of replacing it (as it could get worse in the replacement, who knows?) but in games like Tomb Raider where a majority of the game is in dark caves it takes a littlebit away from the immerson/clairity experience when parts off the monitor are brighter than others, where it should be pitc back, its more of a dark greythe 1440p 144hz experience coupled with 32" is absolutley amazing. I paid $488 at the time, the monitor semed to creep into the low $500's right now (aug 2019)

The only complaint I have about this monitor is that it is not very bright. That being said, it's hard to fault it for one deficit, when it is a freesync, 1440p, 144hz monitor for this price. Some people have complained that it dosen't have built-in speakers; which is absurd, because who buys a gaming monitor and dosen't already own a set of speakers-- what? Do you want terrible little speakers that your system will inevitably reset as your default constantly switch back to? Also, there's a stereo headphone jack on the bottom of it so she just using a simple stereo speaker set up the you can enable sound out through HDMI or DisplayPort and use the monitor as a passthrough.
