AOC CQ32G1 Curved Monitor: 31.5 Inch, 144 Hz, FreeSync, Sub $400

AOC CQ32G1 Curved Monitor: 31.5 Inch, 144 Hz, FreeSync, Sub $400

AOC adds more pixels to its well-received curved gaming G1 Series by introducing the CQ32G1, a 31.5” (80 cm) QHD monitor. Aimed at casual gamers looking for crisper gameplay, the CQ32G1 raises the bar with the higher resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, and offers the same 144 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time as well as AMD FreeSync support just like its Full HD G1 Series siblings.

Offering increased fidelity and details thanks to QHD resolution, a huge enveloping 31.5” display size and 1800R curvature add a whole new level of immersion to the gameplay experience. The CQ32G1 is available in Europe as of February with an MSRP of £ 359.

Fast, tear-free and immersive gaming experience

The AOC CQ32G1 is equipped with a 31.5” (80 cm) VA panel, with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time. Thanks to its QHD resolution, gamers will benefit from one of the most logical increments in screen resolution, which makes the image sharp and comfortable to use without any scaling required.

The CQ32G1’s narrow bezels (2 mm), slim black borders (5 mm) and the frameless design make this display an excellent contender for a multi-monitor set-up. Textured, red and black accents, and a V-shaped, tilt-enabled stand complement the frameless panel for a refined look. The physical immersion is achieved by the encapsulating and aggressive 1800R curvature. Besides, the 144 Hz refresh rate with 1 ms response time delivers the fastest visual feedback and the “connected feel” to the game, free of tear, stutter and perceivable motion blur thanks to variable refresh rate technology AMD FreeSync.

With the 3000:1 static contrast ratio and 124% sRGB gamut coverage, visual content ranging from photos, movies, videos to fast-paced games comes to life and becomes highly enjoyable. The large size of the display and its wide viewing angles of 178°/178° also make the display usable for multiple people simultaneously. 2x HDMI 1.4 as well as 1x DisplayPort 1.2 inputs enable connecting multiple sources.

AOC’s Flicker-Free technology and LowBlue Mode allows longer gaming sessions with less eye strain (moderate use is still advised). To better differentiate opponents, gamers can adjust colour saturation and grey levels with 20 levels of detail with AOC Game Color. AOC Dial Point (on-screen aiming indicator) also helps gamers with their accuracy and aiming where an in-game crosshair is lacking.

In addition to the CQ32G1, the G1 series family consists of three more models: The C24G1 with a 24-inch display, the C27G1 with a 27-inch display, and the C32G1 with a 32-inch display. All three models are based on a 16:9 aspect ratio curved VA-type panels with a high refresh rate of 144 Hz, fast 1 ms MPRT response time, FreeSync support, and run at a 1920x1080 Full-HD resolution.

AOC’s CQ32G1 is available in February for an MSRP of £ 359, $395. In mainland Europe that would be €399.

I really do wish there were a lot more Freesync IPS screens. The majority high hertz screens tend to be VA or TN. Although all screens have there draw backs, I still prefer IPS.

IPS has greater input lag than TN too. That's probably one reason why TN and high refresh rate have been matched together more than any other type, but also due to cost to perhaps.

I also read a review recently about a really good TN panel that had fantastic contrast, while still being a 144Hz panel, so that would be the best of both worlds - they're quite rare though.


which make/model it was (this TN panel with fantastic contrast) - any links?

@Robbo9999 honestly i played on few ips monitors already and even more tn monitors i am not a competitive gamer ...for a decade now or so , i do not play cs:go etc ...so even 10ms diference on input lag i will not be able to tell ! my experience in VA was that it was ghosting on dark scenes and small brighter spots (( like stars on the space )) and i was able directly to tell since i was playing space minecraft (avorion) something i did not notice on either ips or tn panels

yes you're right. IPS has more lag and glow. VA has motion trailing issues and banding. TN has bad color and grey blacks. There's simply no such thing as the perfect monitor.

Is the colour reproduction on VAs no longer crap? The pseudo-HDR FreeSync 2 certified panels I see are VAs.

I haven't taken a good look at any modern VA in real life in an eternity, are the black levels really that noticeably better than IPSes?

Anyway, I'm waiting for some real non-BS HDR 144Hz+ monitor to be released at a reasonable price. It's probably 5+ years away.
