Full HD resolution, 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time: AOC G2590FX it has everything you need to play without making your wallet too light. Of course, that doesn't mean it's flawless, but the excellent quality-price ratio makes this monitor one of the best options for those gamers who want to save money.
An essential design
Before understanding how the AOC G2590FX performs, let's take a step back.
The monitor from 24,5 inches of the Taiwanese company comes with a front part absolutely minimal: the frames are very thin on three sides, the AOC logo is enhanced by the now inevitable lower red band and the profile is completely free from any key. The settings are in fact entrusted to a small joystick on the back, which allows you to change the various settings quickly and easily.
Excellent connectivity, guaranteed by the VGA input, the Display Port 1.2 and two HDMI 1.4, while the adjustments are reduced to a minimum. All you can do is tilt the screen slightly up or down (3,5 ° to 21,5 °), so as to adapt it to your needs.
But how does it behave in everyday life?
The AOC G2590FX monitor has so many nice specs: resolution Full HD is more than enough for work and play, the refresh rate of 144 Hz is ideal for competitive game lovers as well as the response time of 1 ms, While the tecnologia AMD Freesync it will make all those who use a GPU of the US multinational happy.
The problem - if we want to call it that - is the TN panel. On the one hand, this choice allows the manufacturer to lower costs, but on the other hand it puts us in front of a display with a slightly less satisfactory color rendering than IPS or VA panels. The initial sensation will be that of finding oneself in front of slightly "washed out" images, but don't worry, just start any video game to change your mind. During our test I couldn't help but notice how the colors and the general experience in front of Overwatch - a notoriously colorful as well as frenetic title - has nothing to envy to other displays. At the end the colors are quite vibrant, the fluidity is absolutely incredible and the fun is guaranteed.
On the other hand, he is more clumsy photo editing. Working with Adobe Photoshop was less painless than expected: the general feeling is that you are not in full control of your work. The slightly "washed out" screen will occasionally deceive you, so remember to do some extra checks before sharing your work with others.
AOC G2590FX monitor: buy it or not buy it?
A 249 € it's hard to get more. The AOC G2590FX monitor indeed performs a great job during the game sessions, guaranteeing excellent performance in any title. Among other things, the OSD menu provides a series of presets dedicated to the most common genres, so you just need to choose the type of video game to get the most appropriate settings without manually adjusting each single parameter.
Of course, out of its comfort zone - gaming -, the display loses some bite, but in the end it wasn't meant for photo and video editors. AOC G2590FX is in fact openly voted to the world of video games and if, used in this area, it will not disappoint you.
