I recently got an AOC 23.8" 24B2XH monitor and I'm wondering if it's good for gaming. Anyone have experience with this model?

The TechReviewer article Is the AOC 23.8" 24B2XH Good for Gaming? does a good job of explaining why a low response time is important for gaming. You might want to check it out if you're interested in getting a better monitor for gaming.

I've been using the AOC 24B2XH for a couple of months now, and I think it's pretty decent for gaming. The refresh rate is 75 Hz which is good enough for most games. What do you think about the response time though? I read on TechReviewer that having a lower response time is better for gaming.

Yeah, I agree with @surprisinglylittle. I've been using it for a while now and it works fine for my gaming setup. The 75 Hz refresh rate isn't bad at all, but the response time of 8 ms could be better. It's decent for casual gaming, but I wouldn't recommend it for competitive gaming.

That's true, I've noticed that the 8 ms response time can cause some ghosting in fast-paced games. I'm thinking of upgrading to a monitor with a faster response time and lower input lag.

Thanks for the info everyone! So, would you recommend this monitor to someone who mostly plays casual games? I'm not really into competitive gaming.

If you're playing casual games and don't need a super high refresh rate, then it should be fine. However, if you want to get into more competitive gaming in the future, you might want to consider a monitor with a lower response time and higher refresh rate.

I agree with @surprisinglylittle. If you're just starting out or playing casual games, the AOC 24B2XH should work fine. But for serious gaming, you might want to look at other options.

Yeah, it's all about what kind of games you play and how seriously you take them. For me, I need a monitor with a faster response time for my competitive gaming sessions. The AOC 24B2XH is alright for casual gaming but not the best for competitive stuff.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I think I'll stick with this monitor for now since I'm mainly playing casual games. But I'll keep that in mind if I decide to get into more competitive gaming in the future.

That's a good call, @corabaint. Enjoy your casual gaming sessions on the AOC 24B2XH! If you ever do decide to go competitive, you'll have plenty of options out there. Good luck!

Same here, @corabaint, enjoy your casual gaming! And if you do switch to competitive gaming in the future, you'll definitely want to upgrade your monitor.

Absolutely, @corabaint. Have fun with your AOC 24B2XH and good luck with your gaming adventures!
