The G5 is a better monitor, depending your budget I would go for that. My local PC store has a discount on it at the moment so depending where you live you might get a good deal on it! Good luck!!!

Thank you for pointing it out though! Always love improving.
@@GuruGeek Yes, firstly I though I would feel uncomfortable with lower ppi (i was using 60Hz full-hd 23.5 inches). But after get used to this one, it is very perfect! 165 Hz of refresh rate pushed me to the new experience! 😂

They are actually quite similar looking at the specs. The Samsung is slightly less curved by the looks of it at 1800R Most of the other specs are fairly similar.
Im 3 minutes in and all im wondering is how you only have 198 subs. Dafuq is that? Your personality alone should have you at at least a few 100k subs. Deff subbing just for that alone
That is the damn nicest thing ever, thank you so much, it means the world to me. This is a new account, I mainly stream on Twitch but wanted to diversify into RUclips to keep things exciting and interesting. Seriously that means so much, hope you have a great day/night
It would be a decent choice for you, but it is more of an entry/mid level budget monitor. Great value for money, just check to make sure they haven't released any newer versions to replace this one :)
I absolutely adored this review. Everything I need to know about the monitor is explained thoroughly... and with panache, I might add. I was worried about its pixel density which is also addressed in the review. I have decided that, at least for this specific topic and in my honest opinion, size is indeed favourable.
That is extremely kind of you to say, thank you so much Mel, you are a legend! Definitely pixel density is an issue but depending how close you are to your monitor it may not matter. If you are up close and personal definitely suggest the AOC CQ32G2E instead which is 1440p. Thank you again :)
Bahahaha I love this channel already! I just bought the AOC CQ32G3SE and from what I can tell the difference is this is a 2560x1440 and supports HDR. I have been looking for the exact HDR certification but cannot find anything. Waiting for my monitor to come :P I paid $500 NZD because it was on sale, but MSRP seems to be $600 NZD
You absolute maniac, I love it! Thank you so much hahaha. That's a great monitor I have the same monitor as my main monitor, 1440p definitely makes the world of difference with 32" and up! You will love it :D
I have it set to Contrast 60 Brightness 100 Gamma 1 Gamer 3 Shadow Control 50 Game Color 10 Lowblue off Overdrive Medium Freesync On That's all the settings I could go through :)
For those looking to buy this, there isn't a 'little' smearing, there is LOTS of smearing. If you look at anything black on a coloured background, and turn quick, you can see a noticeable amount.
For my wife this is heaven....she wanted curved, and it was alot more affordable for the specs compared to higher resolution version. Outside of her knitting videos she needed something she could also hook her NINTENDO SWITCH up to which high refresh 1080p is perfect for
Yes, I'm proud to say I still have and use a optical drive in 2024 and always think you can never not have enough display cables - Particularly from when you knock them from time to time and they become damaged. Yes, I get nervous too upon first opening. This is in case it's been mistreated by the delivery guy and I suddenly discover a massive crack in the screen.
It's almost not even noticeable as the curve is quite minimal, it subtly brings you in to the content. The G5 is a much steeper curve and may take a little more getting used to, that being said the G5 will most likely be a better monitor if you can get used to the curve. Let me know which you decide!
I'll be totally honest, anything above 27" personally I would recommend 1440p but that being said it depends how close you are to your monitor. Like if you were sitting back with a controller or something then this would be fine but close and personal ideally 1440p. Hope that helps!
Sorta new to gaming and my current TV is stuffed and so been looking at TVs lately since I'm a console user and had a friend suggest a monitor instead since I only use my TV for games. Would you say this is a good monitor to get as a starting point instead of paying more for a TV (keep in mind, I only have the xbox series S)
Your friend is definitely on to something, most gaming monitors will have a far better response rate than TVs. This would be perfect for that. Keep in mind there are no speakers on the monitor though so you'll either need to plug direct into your Xbox or to the monitor headphone jack :)
If you have a PS4 pro it would be worth it otherwise stick with 1080p for a PS4. It's probably better to stick with 1080p in general for that generation of console anyway :)
It depends what you are looking for in terms of use, panel type, size, resolution, so many factors. All in all this is a good value budget monitor for 1080p gaming :)
@@GuruGeek He´s right, you tell us to look at the smearing and if we can see it through video and youtube compression. But it´s just unsharp as your face is focused. Doesn´t help much, sorry.
HAHAHA! Absolute legend, thank you! Yeah, personally anything 32" and above should be 2k+ but the value from AOC is great, I use the 1440p version for my main and this for my side monitor.
You absolute legend! Unfortunately because I haven't been able to make content, after becoming a dad I've struggled to find the time but I will eventually one day. Thank you so much!
Personally anything above 27 for me I would be using 1440p but that also depends how far you are sitting away from the monitor. My main 1440p monitor broke and I have been using this monitor for over a year now as my main one. It's been pretty good to me :)
Hello, just bought the 27" 240hz and i wonder if i should have aimed for the 32" for more 50dollars, what do you think? Best regards, gret review bro Make one for the best settings and will have lots of people looking for that😂@@GuruGeek
Great review!! Fun, informative, like with actual opinions from you that have details most others don't go into. You even spent some time on the menu and actually describe shit!! I'm going to grab this as the only downside for me might be the brightness, but you gave me so much info on the other points I'm happy to pull the trigger on it. You my friend, are amazing! looking forward to your other videos. Much love from a new subscriber in Melbourne!
Thank you so damn much Bruno! I am glad I could help. Look the brightness won't really be an issue unless you are using it in a brightly lit office space or if there is a lot of sunlight. I really hope you enjoy it!
I believe there is only 2 of this variant, the c32g1(144hz) and the c32g2(165hz) but the G2 superceded the G1 so you might struggle to find the older model :)
Do u know if i can be used on a monitor arm? as can't see a pic of it from the back without the stand, I'm planning to go for this on my stacking monitor setup.
Hey can you please tell me if this monitor is G-sync compatible? Cause i think this monitor is perfect but will it have ghosting issues with my navidia card on fps games
The card has freesync which is gsync compatible. As it is a VA panel you will get slight ghosting but not noticeable. I would recommend going the flat IPS panel of this monitor instead of the curved :)
Gday I’m not sure if you remember me but I got this monitor at Christmas time after seeing this review. I have a question about it tho. Does sound okay through speakers on the monitor at all using a HDMI?
That's awesome! I would definitely recommend either using headphones or getting some speakers. I do not believe it has speakers inbuilt but it does have a 3.5mm audio output :)
Yeah you can! Gotta make sure the monitor measurements match up with the mount though, it's a standard mounting plate so you shouldn't have any problems anyway. If you are unsure feel free to link the monitor mount you want and I can take a look too :)
What does text look like in windows on this monitor? I currently have a Philips 32 inch 1080p and the fonts in windows - and in windows apps - look really fuzzy and blocky.
Text looks perfectly fine and there are options to sharpen the image if required. You could set a preset for text specifically and change to it on the fly if you need the screen to be sharper and then change it back when you don't need it. I highly doubt you would require to do this anyway :)
@@GuruGeek Excellent, thanks for that. Kogan has it on sale right now for $328 and free postage. Looks like I'm going to be upgrading my old beast then :)
That's a great deal for the current times we are in! Keep in mind this screen is curved, if you want the flat screen version the model is AOC 32G2E Let me know how it goes!!! without the 'C'
So I recently got a Xbox series x and was deciding to buy this monitor and I’m not a expert with this stuff but do you think I’ll be able to play full performance and do you recommend it for the new Xbox?
That's awesome! If you want the full performance out of the console (4k 120hz) you will want a monitor that supports HDMI 2.1 at the moment they are very limited and VERY expensive. But this monitor would be perfect to keep you going in the meantime until prices come down as HDMI 2.1 is a new technology, especially for gaming monitors.
@@GuruGeek wow!Im on a budget of $250 what’s the best monitor you think I can get that’s 27”and runs 1080 120fps or 4K 120fps and I good respond times that looks good?sorry I’m very terrible with these types of stuff
I would look at the AOC 27G2 if you want flat IPS panel or the AOC C27G2 if you want curved VA panel. I think that 4k is our of the question at that price unfortunately.
hey mate, was just wondering something. I haven't had a monitor before, would this one be good for PS4? And also, a question about monitors in general, do you need a PC to use one or can you just go straight to HDMI?? Thanks!
Hey Sid! So you'll actually notice a far greater improvement from going to a monitor over a standard TV. You'll feel instantly better due to the response times! This monitor has HDMI and would work perfect :)
I haven't had that problem, it could be worth trying another device plugged in, different cable, if nothing then best to contact AOC or the place of purchase. I personally wouldn't use the speakers anyway and get a good headset or external speakers. Good luck!
It does not unfortunately, I'd definitely prefer to get some speakers over monitor audio anyway, even the cheap speakers sounds better than most monitors do anyway :)
My bad I was looking at my other monitor, there is a headphone jack which will take a 3.5mm auxillary cable. So any speakers that have that connector would be perfect. I love the Logitech light sync speakers. But you'll need to buy the auxiliary cable separately.
Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions at all happy to help! If you are getting this for a PC I would recommend the 1440p version over 1080p
You definitely want to look with something that has 120hz or higher and with a good response time. Feel free to message me on Twitter @NatoPotatoTV with some monitors you are looking at and I can let you know :)
It looks to be the same specs except for 2k resolution, which is a far better choice at 32 inches. My only major issue with this monitor was it's resolution but the newer model seems to overcome that. Would be a great choice!
dude your so underrated eared a sub u should have 454k not just 454 subs you obviously put a lot of effort in to these videos which is great keep up the great work! and nice moustache :thumbs up:
@@GuruGeek yo i have to ask you a question though is the resolution good because people are saying that 1080p is bad and pixelated for 24 inch monitors and higher so does the pixilation bother you?
@@GuruGeek it might be a big finacial desision but i might get a SUW49C 49" its pretty cheap since its 49 inches most 49inches are like 1000-2000 so im pretty suprised
Do you have an Nvidia or AMD card? Nvidia you need to go into the Nvidia settings and set up gsync and manually click 165hz. AMD you just need to enable free sync and it's all automatic.
So what is your favorite monitor and why?

hmm nice how long does it take to adjust to the curve? I'm thinking of getting this or the Samsung G5 version depending on my budget next month. :)
It's almost not even noticeable as the curve is quite minimal, it subtly brings you in to the content.
The G5 is a much steeper curve and may take a little more getting used to, that being said the G5 will most likely be a better monitor if you can get used to the curve.
Let me know which you decide!
Hey man is this resolution good for a 32 inch monitor?
I'll be totally honest, anything above 27" personally I would recommend 1440p but that being said it depends how close you are to your monitor.
Like if you were sitting back with a controller or something then this would be fine but close and personal ideally 1440p.

for a budget monitor to play ps5 on, would you suggest this or something else in the price ballpark?
It depends how much you want to spend but something around this price range would get you a good budget monitor the ps5.

The Samsung Odyssey series always seems to be a good choice and go to for a lot of people.

If you have a PS4 pro it would be worth it otherwise stick with 1080p for a PS4. It's probably better to stick with 1080p in general for that generation of console anyway :)

I think the brand is Anko they usually just have it in the hat section during the right seasons. I wish you luck on your quest!
Is this a good monitor or are there better ones for the price?
It depends what you are looking for in terms of use, panel type, size, resolution, so many factors.
All in all this is a good value budget monitor for 1080p gaming :)

This guy needs more subd
Thank you 😭
Gday I’m not sure if you remember me but I got this monitor at Christmas time after seeing this review. I have a question about it tho. Does sound okay through speakers on the monitor at all using a HDMI?
That's awesome!
I would definitely recommend either using headphones or getting some speakers. I do not believe it has speakers inbuilt but it does have a 3.5mm audio output :)
Does it work on PS4
Can anyone tell me the best settings for this monitor for gaming
Honestly it's all down to personal preference and eye.
But I would recommend using one of the gamer mode settings, that's a good start :)
Ok, thanks, i’ll try that
Can you mount this monitor?
I bought one and im not sure if its possible to mount it.. :)
Yeah you can! Gotta make sure the monitor measurements match up with the mount though, it's a standard mounting plate so you shouldn't have any problems anyway.
If you are unsure feel free to link the monitor mount you want and I can take a look too :)
Thanks for the review Its really help me. U deserve a new sub 👍
Thank you so much! I am really glad it helped you!
this dude looks like a created character on skate 3
Make me in Skate 3, you won't.
Let’s gooo Nato!! :D
Where we goin?
Will this work for ps5? And also are there any better options for the price range of 160?
you are an fu*king underated RUclipsR, and also this screen😂😂
Thank you so much, that means a lot, have a damn good day 😍
@@GuruGeek I'm gonna fuckin' buy it and subscribe
You absolute MANIAC!
Much love, hope you enjoy it!
What does text look like in windows on this monitor? I currently have a Philips 32 inch 1080p and the fonts in windows - and in windows apps - look really fuzzy and blocky.
Text looks perfectly fine and there are options to sharpen the image if required. You could set a preset for text specifically and change to it on the fly if you need the screen to be sharper and then change it back when you don't need it.
I highly doubt you would require to do this anyway :)
@@GuruGeek Excellent, thanks for that. Kogan has it on sale right now for $328 and free postage. Looks like I'm going to be upgrading my old beast then :)
That's a great deal for the current times we are in!
Keep in mind this screen is curved, if you want the flat screen version the model is AOC 32G2E
Let me know how it goes!!!
without the 'C'
@@GuruGeek Yep. I'm getting the curved version :)
So I recently got a Xbox series x and was deciding to buy this monitor and I’m not a expert with this stuff but do you think I’ll be able to play full performance and do you recommend it for the new Xbox?
That's awesome! If you want the full performance out of the console (4k 120hz) you will want a monitor that supports HDMI 2.1 at the moment they are very limited and VERY expensive.
But this monitor would be perfect to keep you going in the meantime until prices come down as HDMI 2.1 is a new technology, especially for gaming monitors.
@@GuruGeek wow!Im on a budget of $250 what’s the best monitor you think I can get that’s 27”and runs 1080 120fps or 4K 120fps and I good respond times that looks good?sorry I’m very terrible with these types of stuff
@@GuruGeek $270*^
I would look at the AOC 27G2 if you want flat IPS panel or the AOC C27G2 if you want curved VA panel. I think that 4k is our of the question at that price unfortunately.
can you adjust monitor height
Unfortunately not with this model the 27" does. Or the upgraded 2k model does.
I got this today is there any way to do like a “clear vision” setting I had a older aoc monitor and that would make it less blurry
Play around with the overdrive settings :)
Great video and thanks for the information.
Much love! Thank you!
hey mate, was just wondering something. I haven't had a monitor before, would this one be good for PS4? And also, a question about monitors in general, do you need a PC to use one or can you just go straight to HDMI?? Thanks!
Hey Sid!
So you'll actually notice a far greater improvement from going to a monitor over a standard TV. You'll feel instantly better due to the response times!
This monitor has HDMI and would work perfect :)
@@GuruGeek okay thanks so much. will let you know how it goes once i get it, gotta make only $60!!
AWESOME! Can't wait to hear about it, let me know :)
man deserves much more subs (im subbed)
Much love!! Hopefully one day I can start making content again!
Hello I’m having this problem when I connect my Xbox to it, but the built in speaker don’t wanna work even if it’s on 100 volume what do I do?
I haven't had that problem, it could be worth trying another device plugged in, different cable, if nothing then best to contact AOC or the place of purchase.
I personally wouldn't use the speakers anyway and get a good headset or external speakers.
Good luck!
Does this have built in sound/audio?
It does not unfortunately, I'd definitely prefer to get some speakers over monitor audio anyway, even the cheap speakers sounds better than most monitors do anyway :)
@@GuruGeek Ok, thanks. Which speakers would you recommend that are compatible with this monitor?
You can't plug speakers into the monitor but rather plug them into the device that you are plugging into the monitor such as a PC or console :)
@@GuruGeek How come there's an audio out port of the back of the monitors?. I'm wanting to connect a Blu ray player and watch movies
My bad I was looking at my other monitor, there is a headphone jack which will take a 3.5mm auxillary cable.
So any speakers that have that connector would be perfect. I love the Logitech light sync speakers. But you'll need to buy the auxiliary cable separately.
Is this VESA mountable?
It is, mine is mounted with a NB F80 desk mount.
@@GuruGeek thanks mate!
Great video my dude u deserve more subs. Im definitely considering buying this moniyor
Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions at all happy to help!
If you are getting this for a PC I would recommend the 1440p version over 1080p
Bruh i think the resolution is actually QHD (1440p). Please correct me if i am wrong
That's the CQ32G2E this is the C32G2E.
Very tricky because the models look the same it's just one letter difference 😂
Omg no review das enybody discus VESA yes or no
It is vesa compatible. Mine is mounted with a North Bayou F80 and it works fantastic.
@@GuruGeek Thx
I buy this monitor few day, HDR good for Movie, but with PS4 i cannot enabled HDR with it (i used HDMI cable 2.1). Sorry for bad English!
I'm not entirely sure unfortunately. I haven't used it with a console 😭
Hey man will my ps5 run good with this monitor?
Hey!
It will run perfectly, but only at 1080p :)
GuruGeek I’m just your average gamer, is there anything else you’d recommend using?
You definitely want to look with something that has 120hz or higher and with a good response time. Feel free to message me on Twitter @NatoPotatoTV with some monitors you are looking at and I can let you know :)
Great review Nathan! I just bought 10!
Wow you must be very rich, it would be so weird if you gave me some money haha unless? 😳
What do you think about new one? AOC CQ32G2SE ?
It looks to be the same specs except for 2k resolution, which is a far better choice at 32 inches.
My only major issue with this monitor was it's resolution but the newer model seems to overcome that. Would be a great choice!
@@GuruGeek Isnt that 2k tho? 2560 x 1440 resolution, Quad HD and 165 hz
That's what I am saying that new model is 2k so it's better
@@GuruGeek ohhh yeah my bad I miss understood
That's all good! If you get it I hope it treats you well :)
Nyas this is baller.
dude your so underrated eared a sub u should have 454k not just 454 subs you obviously put a lot of effort in to these videos which is great keep up the great work!
and nice moustache :thumbs up:
That means so much, you absolute legend! Thank you 😍
@@GuruGeek nah thank you man ( for making awesome content)
@@GuruGeek yo i have to ask you a question though is the resolution good because people are saying that 1080p is bad and pixelated for 24 inch monitors and higher so does the pixilation bother you?
Depends on the viewing distance, I would personally get a 1440p monitor for anything above 27" :)
@@GuruGeek it might be a big finacial desision but i might get a SUW49C 49" its pretty cheap since its 49 inches most 49inches are like 1000-2000 so im pretty suprised
Hmm do I keep the fps setting on?
Up to you, what ever looks best to your eyes 😊
@@GuruGeek what do you prefer if I might ask?
I usually have it on game 2 I believe :)
@@GuruGeek thanks!
Omg that’s sooo boring to get to any useful review
I have the same monitor but it says the maximum is 120hz why
Do you have an Nvidia or AMD card?
Nvidia you need to go into the Nvidia settings and set up gsync and manually click 165hz.
AMD you just need to enable free sync and it's all automatic.
GuruGeek I found out why. All this time WINDOWS was limiting it for some reason idk why. Thanks for the help thonlol
WINDOWS I SWEAR...
I'm glad it's fixed!
I’m thinking of buying this for my ps5. This is a great review mate!
Thank you so much! Keep in mind it's not 4k though (if that's what you are after that is).
