Reviews needed for 24” 1440p 165Hz AOC Monitor (Q24G2A)
Posted by Psychorex21@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Hello all,
I am planning to buy 24” 1440p 165Hz Monitor by AOC (model Q24G2A). I am getting confused with how they are doing wordplay regarding freesync / g-sync. In some texts online I read the word "G-Sync Compatible", while at some other places I read "G-Sync" only. And then I come across a reviewer who said that its "Adaptive sync approved by Nvidia".
What do you all think about this monitor regarding its adaptive sync? What are your overall thoughts on the monitor itself?
Originally I am searching for 24 inch, QHD, 165 or 144 Hz monitor with Freesync. Do you think it will do the job I want it to do?
Thank you all!

The monitor supports VESA AdaptiveSync. G-Sync Compatible is Nvidia's branding for using that with their GPUs. Freesync is AMD's equivalent branding. Both Freesync and G-Sync work on AdaptiveSync monitors.

So technically this is a monitor which Nvidea approved as "yeah this will also work fine"? Basically like using a phone charger from, let's say, Anker on an iphone/samsung phone?

There are actual G-Sync monitors that have a hardware G-Sync module in them. It used to be that G-Sync would only work monitors like that and Freesync wouldn't work on them. They enabled G-Sync to work on AdaptiveSync monitors a few years ago, back in the 10xx gen, and introduced the G-Sync Compatible branding for that.
Actual G-Sync monitors generally cost over a $100 more, not many people buy them anymore.

did you consider 27 inch for 1440p, it loooks great

I did but I figured that 24 inch QHD gives a higher ppi and thought that I should probably go for that instead
