AOC 24G2
A long-running budget 144Hz IPS pick that still competes years after launch, held back only by a basic stand and menu.

- + Widely available at a low price

The verdict
Reviewers consistently rank the 24G2 as one of the best value 144Hz monitors around, even years after launch. DisplayNinja (4.3/5) and KitGuru (8.5/10, testing the closely related 24G2U) both praise the IPS panel’s color accuracy and contrast for the price, and Gadget Review’s expert assessment (80/100) agrees it’s a strong performer. All three call out the same weak points: a stand that only tilts, with no height adjustment, and an on-screen menu system that feels dated.
We couldn’t find a retailer listing for this specific model with the 50+ customer ratings this site requires, so there’s no Player score yet. Scattered smaller listings across retailers lean positive, mirroring the professional reviews.
It’s an easy recommendation for anyone building a budget 1080p gaming setup who wants better colors than a typical TN panel, and less appealing if you specifically need a monitor arm-free height-adjustable stand out of the box.
