AOC’s new curved gaming monitor keeps the refresh rates high and the price low

The AOC AG322QCX is a 32-inch curved gaming monitor featuring a 2,560 x 1,440 QHD panel with a curvature rated at 1800R. While it’s not an ultra-wide 21:9 display, this monitor does kick up to a 144Hz refresh rate, for immersive and twitchy competitive games. It also features FreeSync technology for a hitch-free, silky-smooth framerate – so long as you’re using an AMD graphics card.

The AOC AG322QCX features a VA display panel, which splits the difference between TN and IPS screens to deliver well represented colors along with an admirably high 4ms response rate.

This curved gaming monitor also has a few smart screen tricks up its sleeve, including a low blue light mode to make it more comfortable to use at night, and Shadow Control to brighten dark areas where players might be hiding.

These specs put it above the Samsung CHG70 curved gaming monitor that also supports framerates up to 144fps and integrates Quantum Dot technology for better black levels and color reproduction, but is limited to a 1080p resolution and costs substantially more at $649 (£480, AU$800).
