Everything seems fine, but I return for ViewSonic.

Seems great at first but faulty and bad colors are the reason I'm returning it for the ViewSonic XG2401 instead. This AOC is a true example that you get what you pay for. Poor colors, contrast and gamma and some V-sync glitches were the reasons why this monitor just wasn't for me: - Very good build quality. Swivel stand + metal construction. - The OSD was very responsive and not too difficult to use - No dead or stuck pixels or noticeable glare from the backlight. - Full frequency 144Hz with FreeSync Wide Range 35-144Hz after driver installation. Very smooth operation. Note: You must boot into safe mode to properly install the beta drivers for this monitor. The lessons are on YouTube. Very poor software release from AOC, forcing customers to jump through so many hoops just to get their monitor to fully utilize FreeSync properly. I even installed an ICC profile and it still looks worse than any panel I've used before. There are only 3 gamma settings and ALL make things too bright and/or washed out. The contrast is very bad. You can't tell the difference between gray and black, so they don't look like the dark gradient area is gradually getting darker, but just look pitch black, often taking on a boxy look with hints of green. See picture to see what I mean. Adjusting the contrast actually makes the situation a little worse, but keeping it at 45 instead of 50 made the situation a bit more bearable. More explained below. Having FreeSync enabled and attempting to switch from a low refresh rate to a high refresh rate in a full screen game or program settings will result in what you see in the video as a cropped mix of squares of your image. picture, or that horrific effect of an overexposed blue LCD all over the monitor, which definitely can't be good for him. Until you turn the monitor speed back down (good luck maneuvering back through the game settings) the error persists. If you get the blue LCD effect, you should turn off the monitor, and sometimes this fixes the problem, sometimes it requires a hard reboot of the PC. Sometimes exiting full-screen programs also causes these crashes. I face these problems on a daily basis, they are not easy to solve as you might think. These crashes are not due to monitor defects, but rather to problems with the monitor firmware in each monitor. I've tried several of these displays, they all do. I have tried using 4 or 5 Catalyst drivers and all 3 known versions of this monitor's drivers installed correctly with 2 computers to ensure that not just one PC is the problem and it still occurs unless You turn off FreeSync. Very surprised that others don't have this error more often or just ignore it when it does, thinking it's a coincidence. While I'm returning it due to the unacceptable picture quality and FreeSync being almost impossible to use unless you're very careful with your game settings and NEVER quit full screen applications, every other aspect of this monitor is acceptable and if you don't mind the poor picture quality you can You can still use the monitor just fine if you disable FreeSync or just don't use it with an Nvidia GPU, and you still have a very affordable 144Hz monitor. However, I recommend buying a different monitor model as both the image quality and the free sync will likely work better on a $10 monitor. more than this.
