If I lightly push on the edges, it reduces the light bleed significantly.

Oh and the price on this one is $550, considerably more than the CQ32G1. After viewing product detail pages, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in. I found it once and confirmed it with a 10x magnifier (it was a spot I thought was spatter from one of my cat’s sneezes–they’re deadly!–but I couldn’t get it off the screen with a tissue and some moisture). The vertical viewing angle “haze” I noted with the H711 panel is almost non-existent on this AOC unit. (3) Once you have the value set to what you want, which of those d—-d buttons accepts the new value? – Use button 1 to ‘EXIT’ the menu.

So I cannot get a tone curve for the new profile to see how it fits against the gamma=2.2 curve. It’s almost as if gamers are charged a hefty premium just to get those fast pixel response times or refresh rates, Granted, AMD Freesync monitors are so much cheaper than G-Sync monitors due to the tax that manufacturers are charged when creating G-Sync panels, but there’s now brand new monitors being released, like the AOC G1 gaming series, that are offering complete gaming packages for a much cheaper price. The monitor defaulted to 60 Hz, which surprised me.

All three had it in the exact same spots with slight variations. How do you know it isn’t using the “AOC CQ32G1-2” profile?

This thread is archived. I have bought some things from Amazon that had a fairly large number of negative reviews and never had a problem with any of them.

PCM2: The AOC CQ32G1 is back in stock on Amazon.com.

I want to calibrate the monitor, but the Spyder5 software wants me to adjust the brightness to a value near 120, and it’s currently at something like 300. It does come with a stand as well if you wanted it straight on your desk too. CQ32G1 Intensives Gaming mit 1800R Krümmung und QHD-Auflösung Das CQ32G1 ist mit einem riesigen, rahmenlosen 31,5“ VA-Panel mit 1800R Krümmung und QHD-Auflösung ausgestattet. This is a moot point, since all I want to do is set the brightness so I can calibrate the monitor. It isn’t the most brilliant software, or wasn’t last time I used it.

For instance, that LCD monitors generally use a sample and hold technique. But it does NOT do that. You can find out more on our Privacy Policy page. I called the new profile “AOC CQ32G1-2” and saved it. PCM2: Thank you for your input.

One question: Do you think the color-rendering of the CQ32G1 would be similar in quality to the C24G1. I know you’re experienced enough in life to know this and re-balance things accordingly. Since I’m not a gamer, this model will do fine for me.

So to adjust the brightness you’d do the following: – Press button 4 (MENU/ENTER)


I recently upgraded my motherboard to an MSI gaming plus and also got an intel I7 9700k with my RTX 2080. 84% Upvoted.

It is also acts as ‘ENTER’.

The 1ms response time being claimed for the CQ, by the way, is MPRT with a strobe backlight setting active. You should have explained–in the video–which buttons you were pushing and why you were pushing them. .

Exactly the same as the AG322QCX we’ve reviewed with the addition of VESA DisplayHDR 400 capability.

PCM2: I agree.

The CG32G1 would be more similar to the AG322QCX we’ve reviewed. This is an awesome product, only after it is configured properly (Hint: adjust Picture Boost ) : Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2019.
At the bottom of the front panel is a wider plastic insert with the AOC logo and a red stripe in full width. 144hz is icing on the cake. 6 Installation Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The AOC CQ32G1 is a fairly well-rounded 32 inch 1440p curved monitor with good gaming performance. AOC support said that this isn't covered by their pixel warranty. If set to Strong, I found it introduced artifacts that weren’t there before.

Although I agree, ordinarily if a monitor tracks ‘2.1’ for the average gamma or shows a curve like that I would profile it properly and include that as my ‘Test Settings’. CQ32G1 Support und Garantie. Anyway, it precludes any possible interference from the mains frequency.

I read the articles you referred to and found some things I was unaware of.

I believe the “1” at the end simply means it’s the primary monitor. You’re right to assume that there would usually be some differences between the monitors with the profiles applied, so it’s fortunate if there aren’t. – Press button 4 to ‘ENTER’ this section of the menu

Motion although not the best still performed well for the types of games I play, and the Overdrive setting really helped with this. You can still see all customer reviews for the product.

144 Hz, 1 ms MPRT, FreeSync Premium und zahlreiche weitere … If you know how to solve the conundrum in the top paragraph, I’d love to know the trick! It sets a basic beat, but there’s a lot more that makes up a piece of music. By Christian Eberle 06 July 2018. So I didn’t think it would be necessary to run through exactly what I was doing with the buttons in the menu.

It doesn’t literally go “blank”, that was more in relation to the intended behaviour.

I found myself for most games and desktop work under a custom profile called Gamer 1. If you want some further reassurance that it has “loaded” the correct ICC profile… Right click the little Spyder icon in the system tray and press “Load calibration”. Although it can still be worth creating a separate profile for the CQ32G1, if you’ve got a colorimeter handy, as there can be differences beyond what would be revealed through Lagom. Luckily, it has a black frame insertion feature to help improve the appearance of motion.

Although as you say it may not matter for your uses. I am quite familiar with sample and hold from my experience with electronic circuits during my career with the NOAA/ERL. Turning it off altogether made the monitor produce a very blurry image. Not only all this, but the AOC is markedly superior to the Samsung at displaying text. I was searching a new monitor that has 144 hz and a big screen like 32 inch. It does not show you what profile is being used and that isn’t how you select the profile that’s being used. The 4th button is also important – that little symbol is of a ‘MENU’ (apparently) and it’s used to get into the main menu, as I showed in the video. Or if using HDMI, make sure you’re connected to the HDMI 2.0 port of the monitor not the 1.4 port (try swapping ports). Grey to grey response times are being quoted at around 4ms. (brightness, contrast, colour, gaming settings etc.) See what it says whilst doing it- hopefully “Profile: AOC CQ32G1-2”.

And do you know what the “Agon” series of monitors is as opposed to non-Agon monitors? I've concluded that the cause of the bleed is from a small amount of force pushing against the center of the screen. On the back you will find a single DisplayPort 1.2 and two HDMI 1.4 ports.

It defaults to the first one I made (with the number 1 at the end of the filename) and the drop down menu for the profile shows nothing but the number 1 profile as a choice.

I also had the beef to move up to 1440P at this time.

A curved 23.6" VA monitor with Full HD resolution, 144Hz refresh rate and support for AMD FreeSync.

Noticeable flickering was always there under those circumstances. I still think it’s very confusing, especially since one may have multiple profiles on which they would like to see the calibration info. I need explicit instructions as to which buttons to push and when to push them in order to accomplish this adjustment of brightness. The picture quality is pretty good for the price too.

I haven’t come across a modern monitor that can’t be calibrated to very close indeed to the ‘2.2’ curve with a modern colorimeter, even if the gamma tracking without correction is all over the place. As for the refresh rate, Windows 10 offers me only two choices: 60 Hz or 75 Hz.

As I said before, it ticks all the right boxes for those wanting some decent gaming features, all the while giving you wonderful colour reproduction.

144 Hz, 1 ms response, FreeSync & numerous other gaming features allow the best gaming experience. I am updating my review.

I may try deleting the old profile just to see what happens. Nevertheless, aliasing with the 60-Hz mains frequency did occur, so a 60-Hz refresh rate was problematical.

And your donation is very much appreciated, it certainly is a big help. It's a 144Hz monitor with native FreeSync variable refresh rate (VRR) support and it's G-SYNC compatible.

While the refresh-rate, chrisp 2k resolution, 27-inch display, and 1ms response time all are beneficial to games and the like, I CANNOT reccomend getting any monitor by AOC.

I’m wondering if the CQ32G1 has been replaced by the AG322QC4? I was disappointed that you did not run a calibration on the AG322QCX monitor. I ran into the usual problem with the AmazonSmile website.

If you can afford it get an i7 processor preferably a 9700k or 8700k. Any benefit from that yet? An additional point that has me curious. – Use buttons 2 () to navigate through the menu to ‘Brightness’ In a flash, I realized that this why LCD monitors running at a 60 Hz refresh rate do not show any alias-related flashing as did CRT monitors. Eco Mode is AOC’s term for picture mode and there are six to choose from. There’s also a VGA for those older machines if that’s more your thing, and a headphone jack if you typically use your HDMI as an audio passthrough as well. So when I go into the Spyder software, it should default to this new profile. (I can see the same things on my TV, which is a 65-inch Samsung “QLED” [sic] I bought last year . I have several questions: The 1800R viewing angle is subtle enough not to intrude but doesn’t give the immersion I think AOC were hoping for.

7 comments. My C32H711 calibrates so closely to the 2.2 curve that it’s almost scary. Not only all this, but the AOC is markedly superior to the Samsung at displaying text. Was mostly interested in the high refresh rate as Xbox one x now supports 2k @ 120hz. I once read that designers had to select the persistence of the phosphors so the perceived signal would fall to a certain low level just before the next refresh occurred.

The gamma curve shown in your review sags badly below the 2.2 curve. The user manual (PDF download) runs through exactly how to use the system and the function of each button at different stages of the menu. So I’ll keep this in mind next video using a similar system. or was it in 2017? Although I see that would’ve been useful and it isn’t going to be intuitive to everyone! The OSD on my monitor looks like the one on the C24G1, but I can’t get it to do anything at all. There are also very subtle red finishes too like at the base of the arm where it meets the stand. And how often do you actually use the OSD system?

I can find no way to do this.

PCM2: Got my new AOC CQ32G1 up and running, and I don’t believe what I found.

James Morris April 29, 2019 Featured Tech News, Featured Tech Reviews, Monitors. Anyway, the Lagom tests are improved (mostly).

Makes me wonder if it is worth calibrating the AOC. That’s great news, fl-boffin! However, I never noticed any banding issues during my testing thanks to its game settings, but more on that in a bit. Why? The Load Calibration gives the correct profile.
