Review on AOC G2460PF 1920x1080 Adjustable DisplayPort 144Hz Monitor with Tilt Adjustment, Flicker-Free Technology, Wall Mountable, USB Hub, G Series LED by Telly Knight

TDLR: Being one of the cheapest 144Hz monitors means it won't be great in most situations, but it's fine for fast-paced gaming. I have owned this unit for over a year so below are typical issues. Before the color and contrast adjustments, the color reproduction on my monitor was so poor that it was noticeable and distracting even when gaming. After color and contrast adjustments (2 hours effort), this monitor can be described as color reproduction between good and decent. This is one of the price compromises. In case you're wondering, I set the following first before making any further corrections in the Windows software: Contrast: 35, Brightness: 10, Gamma: Gamma3, Overdrive: Medium, Red: 48, Green: 50, Blue: 38. YMMV like each device is a bit different but hopefully it's a good base. After a year, there are no stuck pixels on the screen. Maximum brightness can be extreme on this monitor (that's why I set the brightness value to 10 above). In a dark room, the minimum brightness is important, but I was able to compensate for this with f.lux's brightness change function (Alt + Page Down, this is monitor color and brightness software). Finally, there is a visible change in white saturation when going from 60Hz to 144Hz on this monitor. For more beauty oriented games (like Skyrim) I recommend switching to 60Hz mode as low input lag isn't really needed for this game and the color improvement is significant. The 144Hz aspect obviously works and works well. Running the UFO test showed a significantly stable frame rate with little to no stuttering. Another obvious test, especially if you have a second 60Hz monitor, is to see the end of the mouse pointer while moving quickly. Using this feature in game has made aiming weapons with hit scanning (clicks and tracking) a lot easier in my opinion, but that's expected for all high frequency monitors. Now the problem area. The software for this monitor is buggy and sometimes there are battery saving issues. A software bug occurs when the monitor keeps searching for a signal instead of turning off/going to sleep mode when the computer is off. This manifests itself as long periods of black display followed by several seconds of bright white light from the no signal notification. Because of this, you need to turn off the power switch when your gaming rig is in the same room where you sleep. The problem of charge accumulation manifests itself in the permissible frequency at which the monitor can work. This issue occurs after prolonged gaming (more than 4 hours) at 144Hz. After turning the computer off and on again without turning off the monitor, the monitor does not pass the 144 Hz DisplayPort signal (it says "No Signal") but responds to the 60 Hz signal. The reason I think it's a charge build-up is that flipping the monitor's power button while it's still plugged in fixes the problem within 30 minutes. However, flipping the switch and unplugging the power cord causes the problem to last much longer (more than 4 hours), indicating that the accumulated charge cannot be easily dissipated due to the lack of a ground connection. It can be said that fixing a software error also solves a hardware problem. Despite the issues above, I still think this is a great entry-level 144Hz monitor considering the price.
