Professional reviewers commend the 24G2 for its low input lag, FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility, which together deliver a highly responsive gaming experience. The IPS panel's color accuracy and 123 % sRGB coverage receive praise, as does the compact ergonomic stand that fits tight desk spaces. However, editors note the modest 1000:1 contrast ratio, lack of HDR, and average brightness as drawbacks for dark-room or content-creation work.
Everyday users highlight the smooth 144 Hz gameplay, vibrant IPS colors, and sturdy adjustable stand as the main strengths of the monitor. Recurring complaints focus on IPS glow, backlight bleeding, limited ports, stand wobble at full height, and the monitor's low brightness in bright environments.
Professional reviewers consider the AW2523HF a top-tier competitive gaming monitor, emphasizing its 360 Hz refresh rate, rapid 0.5 ms response, and IPS panel as a rare combination that delivers smooth motion and accurate colors.
Consumers largely praise the monitor's speed, ergonomic stand, and crosshair overlay, noting it excels in fast-paced shooters and esports.
