IPS Glow, Yes, it is there. My picture is captured at 100 contrast and 100 brightness on monitor and captured using night mode enabled phone.
Quite a feature-rich OSD, good ergonomic flexibility, very slender top and side bezels and competitive pricing Note that the ‘Overdrive’ setting can be adjusted under MBR. However; ‘Strong’ is the only usable setting. The others are simply too slow and increase trailing and strobe crosstalk significantly without providing any benefits – we just focus on the ‘Strong’ setting here. Also be aware that setting the ‘Overdrive’ to ‘Boost’ is equivalent to using the ‘Strong’ setting and setting ‘MBR’ to ‘20’. We test MBR ‘15’ here as well, as we consider it to give a good mixture of brightness and clarity. The brightness was ~160 cd/m² at 144Hz, which is similar to what we target for our ‘Test Settings’ with MBR disabled. The monitor has a slight green push by default, but is otherwise nicely balanced. Shades appeared varied and vibrant, without the shifts in gamma and saturation associated with TN and VA panels. The bottom line; an accomplished product with vibrant and varied colour output, pleasing contrast and responsiveness for an IPS-type panel and very attractive pricing. Our suggestions regarding use of VSync also apply, but obviously you’re using Nvidia Control Panel rather than Radeon Settings to control this. The setting is found in ‘Manage 3D settings’ under ‘Vertical sync’, where the final option (‘Fast’) is equivalent to AMD’s ‘Enhanced Sync’ setting. You’ll also notice ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ listed under ‘Monitor Technology’ in this section, as shown below. Make sure this is selected (it should be if you’ve set everything up correctly in ‘Set up G-SYNC’).

The AOC 24G2 monitor is based on an IPS panel by PANDA with wide 178° viewing angles, a 250-nit specified peak brightness (which even gets a bit above 300-nits), a ~1,000:1 static contrast ratio and dithered 8-bit color depth (6-bit + 2-bit FRC), which is indistinguishable from true 8-bit depth in real use.
Hz Refresh rate and 1ms response time: With a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, your display will be equipped to perform at the pro gaming standard. The video below summarises some of the key points raised in this written review and shows the monitor in action. The video review is designed to complement the written piece and is not nearly as comprehensive. The gamma is now significantly increased, giving a deep ‘cinematic’ look that is inaccurate but that some users may like. This greatly affects dark shades, masking a lot of low-end details.Brightness at 0 could have be a bit lower ,but in a totally dark environment could be uncomfortable. Best of all, the AOC 24G2 is factory-calibrated at Delta E < 2, which is fit for entry-level color-critical tasks. For professional use, there are better color-critical displays, of course, but for basic content creation, the AOC 24G2 will do just fine.
