Dec 28, 2019 2 0 10 Hello everyone. Im going to be buying a monitor for the first time and im not sure which one I should go with. Ive narrowed it down to 3, but im not very familiar with monitors so im having trouble deciding. Here are the 3 ive been looking at. AOC G2590FX MSI Optix G24C AOC C24G1 I have a GTX 1070, i7 8700k and 16gb ram. Which would be the best? They are all roughly the same price. Any help or recommendations are much appreciated. Thanks guys! Solution

it sort of seems like a sidegrade to me. I feel like the 2590 is still better overall. Another option for 240 Hz is Acer XF250Q. it is pretty similar to the 2590 but is 240 Hz. it is $50 more though. Sort by date Sort by votes K

Aug 23, 2013 4 0 10,510 AOC C24G1 vs AOC G2590FX To me it's between these 2. Personally, I like the 24G1, however, the 2590 gets a better score 61 vs 80. I really don't think you can go wrong with either. Note my preference comes down to quick glances over specs and gut feeling. By the numbers, the 2590 is a better choice. Upvote 0 Downvote A
