AOC G2590FX: a mainstream 144 Hz monitor for 249 euros
AOC announced the availability of their G2590FX monitor, characterized by a high refresh rate and compatibility with the FreeSync technology. The AOC G2590FX is equipped with a TN panel with a diagonal of 24.5 "and a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.
The refresh rate is 144 Hz, and FreeSync operates in a range of 30-144 Hz., it offers Low Framerate Compensation (LFC). The manufacturer states that the maximum display brightness is 400 cd/m2 and offers a contrast ratio of 1000: 1. Viewing angles are 170 degrees horizontally and 160 ° vertically. and a 1 ms (GtG) response time. The panel provides 100 percent coverage of sRGB and 81 percent for Adobe RGB. You get two HDMI 1.4 ports, one DisplayPort 1.2 and one D-Sub. The dimensions of the AOC monitor are 558.6 x 199.7 x 423.7 mm and its weight is 4.27 kg.

First to the people who said quality is bad, for me 1080 is perfect for 24 and i dont need 27 and 1440p just lowers the performance
However the AOC G2460PF is cheaper and more or less the same, or am I mistaken?

I like the diagonal, 24.5" sound great! (I’m sick of reading news about 32" monitors… I don’t have room for that!)
I like Freesync, 144Hz, and the reasonable price (sort of).
But I don’t like that it’s TN
. VA or even IPS would be good. I’m not buying a TN monitor ever again.
Yep, I've got 1080p 24" 144Hz & I'm happy with it. I've got AOC G2460PG, which is one of the cheapest G-sync 144Hz monitors of the time, and I'm happy with the image quality even if it is TN. It's 100% sRGB coverage, but the viewing angle sensitivity (which is not perfect even if you sit directly in front of it - top to bottom variation that can't be avoided) and contrast are probably not the best out there. I'd be interested in having a monitor with better viewing angle & contrast capabilities as long as motion clarity was just as good as TN 144Hz, not sure if IPS & other 144Hz is as good as TN 144Hz in terms of clarity - TN have always been famed for speed & clarity of motion.
Its almost as if some people prefer cheap, high refresh rate over panel quality.
(my above deliberations concern this)
If the screen is not too close to the eyes then it can look OK. But I would also say that 1080p on 24.5" is too little, the DPI will be too large. But of course it i suits those with not the fastest GPUs and those who want high framerates rather well.
1440p can be a bit too heavy in some games.
1080p on 24" is ok, I do actually disable AA in games to gain higher frame rate, but mainly because modern AA techniques like TAA blur the screen, so I'd rather have jaggies which I don't notice in fast paced action anyway. I would rather have 1440p in 24" though, and I'm sure that this would cure a lot of jaggies, even without enabling AA, but I'd probably need to invest in a ti version of card in order to get the experience I'm having with my GTX 1070 and even then I think it would be slightly less frames per second given that large resolution increase - it's 77% more pixels to drive, so I don't think a ti card will make up that difference!
