AOC has introduced a new budget-friendly gaming monitor in China, available on JD.com for 1,099 yuan ($165). The launch caters to gamers who prefer compact displays over larger screens without compromising on affordability.
AOC Q25G5ZE8 Specifications
The AOC Q25G5ZE8 features a 24.5-inch Fast IPS display with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. It supports a refresh rate of up to 275Hz through DisplayPort 1.4, along with a 1ms GtG response time and an ultra-fast 0.3ms MPRT. The monitor also comes equipped with Adaptive-Sync technology and FreeSync compatibility to minimise screen tearing and deliver smoother gameplay.
On the color front, the display covers 95% of the DCI-P3 gamut and 100% of the sRGB space. AOC says that the monitor is factory-calibrated to an average Delta E of less than 2 in sRGB mode. The panel has a standard SDR brightness of 350 nits and can reach 450 nits when displaying HDR content, which gives it a VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. Its static contrast ratio is 1300:1.
The AOC Q25G5ZE8 features a simple design with a stand that supports tilt adjustments from -5° to 23°. However, it lacks height, swivel, and pivot adjustments. For added flexibility, the monitor comes with a standard 100 x 100mm VESA mount, allowing users to install it on a compatible third-party monitor arm.
The port selection is limited to one DisplayPort 1.4 input and one HDMI 2.1 TMDS port. It is worth noting that HDMI 2.1 TMDS relies on standard HDMI 2.0 bandwidth. As a result, if you use the HDMI connection, the refresh rate is capped at 144Hz at the native 1440p resolution. There are no built-in speakers, just a 3.5mm audio jack for headphones or external speakers.
The monitor also comes equipped with low-blue-light technology and a flicker-free backlight for improved viewing comfort.
In related news, Philips has recently introduced a new 1440p 360Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor featuring AI-powered presence detection, while KTC has unveiled a 24-inch gaming monitor boasting an impressive 600Hz refresh rate.
