Score: 86/100
Xiaomi Curved Gaming Monitor
Score: 84/100Rankings
The AOC 24G2 is a 23.8-inch IPS gaming monitor praised for its 144 Hz refresh rate and vibrant colors. Its modest contrast, limited brightness, and lack of speakers are notable trade-offs. Ideal for budget-conscious esports players who value speed over HDR performance.
The Xiaomi 34-inch ultrawide monitor offers a rapid 180 Hz refresh rate, high contrast VA panel and full sRGB coverage, making it a strong performer for both gaming and color-critical work. Its reliance on DisplayPort for peak performance, absence of built-in speakers and missing USB-3.0 ports limit convenience. Best suited for gamers and creators who value a wide, high-refresh workspace without paying premium prices.

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 G34WQi a standout in the sub-$300 ultrawide market, emphasizing its high contrast VA panel, near-92% DCI-P3 color accuracy, and 180 Hz refresh rate as a rare combination at this price. While the lack of USB-3.0 and built-in speakers are noted drawbacks, the overall consensus is that the monitor offers exceptional performance and visual quality for both competitive gaming and color-critical work.
Everyday users consistently commend the monitor for its vivid colors, smooth 180 Hz gameplay, and generous ultrawide screen space, describing it as a high-value purchase. Common criticisms focus on the need for a DisplayPort cable to unlock full performance, the missing USB-3.0 ports and speakers, and occasional discrepancies in reported response times.
