AOC G4 C24G42E 24" Curved Full HD 180Hz 0.5ms Gaming Monitor with Built-in Speakers

At 180Hz with a 0.5ms response time on a VA panel, this AOC curved monitor punches well above its price bracket for one specific reason: VA technology delivers noticeably deeper blacks and higher contrast than the IPS panels typically found at this end of the market, meaning fast-paced games actually look dramatic rather than washed out. That combination of genuine speed and visual depth is genuinely difficult to find under £100.

Who Is This For?

This monitor suits the budget-conscious PC gamer who plays competitively enough to care about refresh rate, but also wants their games to look atmospheric — think dark horror titles, space sims, or anything where shadow detail matters. The 24" curved 1080p format is a practical fit for desk setups where space is limited and pixel density at this size remains sharp enough for daily use. If you're a content creator, photo editor, or anyone who needs colour-accurate output, VA panels have inherent weaknesses in colour consistency off-axis that make this a poor fit.

What Buyers Say

Owners of this AOC model consistently praise the smoothness of the 180Hz experience for the money, with many noting the curve adds genuine immersion at 24 inches — a size where flat screens don't always benefit from curving. The most frequently cited limitation is VA ghosting in very dark scenes during fast motion, which is a class-level issue rather than a defect, but worth knowing going in. Backlight bleed in corners is occasionally flagged too, though this varies by unit.
