As life starts to get back to normal, I finally find myself in a position where I have the time to sit down and review some of the monitors we’ve accumulated over the last six to twelve months. In today’s article, we’ll be testing AOC’s competitively priced, 32-inch, 1440p 144Hz curved gaming monitor. Whilst a curved monitor might not be everyone’s first choice when it comes to most gaming scenarios, thanks to high levels of immersion and a reduction in market pricing, the curved gaming monitor is growing in popularity throughout the gaming community – with the CQ32G1 showcasing extremely good value for money in this specific category.

For the AOC CQ32G1, we’ll be taking a closer look at color accuracy, gaming, response time, and panel uniformity to see just how good this competitively priced option is. So, let’s waste no further time, and get straight into it!

What’s In The Box

Like most modern monitors, the AOC CQ31G1 comes unassembled. The stand is made up of two parts, both of which can be found next to the monitor and an assortment of cables inside the box. The CQ32G1 has a toolless design which means construction (and deconstruction) is fast and easy. Monitor aside, the AOC CQ32G1 also comes with an HDMI cable, DisplayPort 1.2 cable, UK kettle power cable, and European kettle plug – alongside a user manual, warranty details, and drivers.

Design And Features

The following section will be a closer look at the overall design, build quality, and features this monitor comes equipped with. Like all monitors of this price range, the following factors are hugely important when determining the overall quality of a display.

Design

The first thing I noticed as we unboxed the AOC CQ32G1 was just how ‘gamey’ it actually looked. AOC has opted for a black on red color theme for this monitor which sets the theoretical scene nicely.

The 32″ monitor has a 1800R curvature which gives it an elegant characteristic that would suit both gaming and office-use spaces. The AOC logo can be seen at the bottom of the panel alongside some subtle OSD control marks.

The rear continues the red on black theme, with the stand not offering a great deal in terms of design – apart from the cable management which will be touched upon shortly.

Build Quality

As far as build quality is concerned, the AOC CQ32G1 is made almost exclusively from plastic – with a thin piece of metal reinforcing the centre of the stand. That being said, the plastic is of decent quality, providing only minimal levels of movement when testing.

The frames of this monitor feel quite robust, however, there is a small gap that can be seen in between the bottom of the panel and the frame itself which is almost certainly going to be problematic from a dust buildup point of view.

The rear of the monitor feels less robust than the frames (and stand) but still provides adequate levels of support incase knocked or bumped. There was little to no creaking during the testing process, with most of the mechanics working to an efficient and smooth level. Despite the stand not offering height adjustment, it does still offer up a decent amount of tilt adjustment and some neat cable management options too. The physical tilt mechanism was fairly rigid and, to my best judgment, felt like it would stand the test of time.

Panel Coating

As mentioned in the specs, the panel utilizes an anti-glare coating with 3H hardness in matte, mitigating reflections from daylight and ambient light sources to an extremely high level. I tested the monitor near our window (which gets direct access to sunlight) and was fairly surprised by how effective the coating actually was.

Bezels

The AOC CQ32G1 offers up an almost frameless design and very thin bezels on all sides – making it an extremely good option for dual or triple monitor setups. The top and side bezels measure in a 9mm whilst the bottom comes in a 23mm.

Stand

The stand, in terms of raw aesthetic design, certainly takes the ‘gamey’ aesthetic and runs with it. It keeps the red on black color theme and is every bit as angular and sharp as you might expect from a monitor tailored towards gaming. As mentioned above, the stand is fairly limited in terms of adjustability. However, where it falls short in adjustments, it makes up for in rigidity and stability.

You have the freedom to tilt the monitor forward by 5 degrees and backward by 23 degrees – giving you a decent amount of range for most viewing positions.

Inputs

All the inputs can be found at the rear of the monitor and cables need to be attached in a vertical fashion. As for video inputs, the AOC CQ32G1 comes equipped with a single DisplayPort 1.2 connection, 1 x HDMI 2.0, and 1 x HDMI 1.4 connection – with the latter of the three only offering 144Hz at 1080p and below. If you want to crank up the resolution and still achieve high refresh levels, you will have to utilize the HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2 options available. Luckily, the monitor comes with both HDMI and DisplayPorts included.

The monitor also offers up a 3.5mm audio input for users that would prefer to plug directly into the monitor over the PC itself – maybe you have a short cable or something.

OSD

I’ll not lie, the OSD was potentially my least favorite aspect of this monitor, described by most in the office as fairly confusing and a little difficult to navigate. Unlike other monitors that allow you to press any button to access the menu, the AOC CQ32G1 has dedicated features for each button. The first opens up the input options (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, DP), allowing you to switch through various attached devices.

The second from the left brings up the different game mode profiles which can be toggled by simply tapping the left and right buttons. The third toggles the onscreen crosshair, whereas the fourth is dedicated to the menu button.

Once you finally gain access to the OSD, physically navigating it can be a little confusing at first – mainly because the buttons aren’t properly labeled. However, once you’ve spent a little time navigating the menus, it does become a little easier. Users have the ability to change luminance, color setups, picture boost, general OSD settings, game modes, and extras once inside the OSD, however, certain profiles do limit the amount of customization you actually have.

One of the main features this monitor advertises is the dynamic contrast ratio – measured at roughly 80,000,000:1. Despite it being a feature, we have yet to see a monitor manufacturer do this particular feature well – including AOC. By utilizing it you are physically removing detail from the higher end whites and lower end blacks – distorting what can be considered as pretty good color right out the box.

Picture Quality & Color Accuracy

Picture quality and color accuracy are quite possibly the two most important factors when it comes to any monitor purchase – even more so if you want the greatest levels of immersion whilst gaming.

The following will be an in-depth look at the picture quality and color accuracy using a whole host of different tests.

Preset	White Point	Black Depth	Contrast Ratio	Average ΔE*00	Gamma
IDEAL	6500K	0.000 cd/m²	Infinite	0.00	2.20
Warm	6471K	0.0472 cd/m²	2529.5:1	3.50	2.16
sRGB	6491K	0.0952 cd/m²	2498.9:1	0.90	2.20
User	6311K	0.0445 cd/m²	2737.4:1	3.35	2.16

Out of the box settings, in general, were pretty average. The contrast was fairly good, as was the white point. That said, blacks (0.472cd/m²) weren’t as deep as you’d expect from a monitor using a VA panel and the gamma was a little on the low side at 2.16. sRGB was, without a doubt, the best settings you can use from the preset options available. However, as soon as you activate the sRGB preset your luminance customization is completely restricted. User settings gave you the greatest amount of customization but also offered similar values as the out the box results.

The user profile was utilized for the calibration process as it allowed us to have full customization over the red, blue, and green channels – alongside luminance as well. For the following calibration, we altered the RGB settings of the monitor until they were as close to true as we could get. The following, are the in-depth calibrated results – alongside the in-depth results of the sRGB preset.

Preset	White Point	Black Depth	Contrast Ratio	Average ΔE*00	Maximum ΔE*00	Gamma
sRGB	6484K	0.1609 cd/m²	1454.2:1	1.12	4.95	2.2
calibrated	6495K	0.0456 cd/m²	2635.3:1	0. 31	1.81	2.2

For calibrated results, we set the RGB to 48/48/50 and achieved very good results across the board. The white point was near perfect as was the gamma, meeting the ideal value of 2.2. The average delta was reduced down to an impressive 0.31 whilst still keeping a strong contrast ratio of 2635:3:1.

Panel Uniformity

Panel uniformity is a test we run to check how uniform the luminance and color is across the entirety of the screen. During this test, the center square is used as the reference space. Every other square is then tested to see how far it differentiates from the reference. In an ideal world, we want every square to be green, meaning it hasn’t broken the differential threshold – something we can set at the start of the test.

Note: results will differ from panel to panel.

As you can see from the results above, we ran a 5 x 5 grid test on this particular panel to give us a more detailed report on how accurate the luminance and colors were. The AOC CQ32G1 actually performed pretty well during this test, with only two of the squares (top right/centre) being classed as ‘exceeding the differential threshold’. For the most part, the uniformity of the panel was pretty good, displaying fairly accurate colors and luminance throughout.

Viewing Angles

The viewing angles on the AOC CQ32G1 were pretty good, with very little color or/and contrast loss when viewing from fairly extensive angles. This comes as no real surprise though as VA panels are fairly well known for having good viewing angles – especially when compared to other panel technologies.

AOC CQ32G1 32-inch Monitor

You can easily seat two or three people in front of this monitor and have no complaints regarding the viewing angles of this panel.

Color Gamut

After calibrating the monitor using the DisplayCal software, we were presented with the color gamut coverage and volume figures for sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3. Below are the results.

The results show a 129.6% gamut volume which exceeds the AOC advertised value of 119% – covering an impressive 99.7% of the sRGB color space. Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 were equally as impressive, showcasing 81.5% and 90.5% coverage respectively.

With figures of this quality, you could easily recommend this monitor for individuals that are into video editing, content creation, or general entertainment use scenarios.

Gaming On The AOC CQ32G1

Once the picture quality and color accuracy tests were complete, we decided to throw the AOC CQ32G1 through a couple of games to see how it performed. With its high performing response time and low input lag, it’s safe to say I was quite excited to see what it had to offer. The 2,560 x 1440 screen resolution is a huge step up from your everyday Full HD, yet doesn’t require nearly as much computational power to run as 4K. That being said, you’ll still need a fairly hefty GPU to run games at 144 FPS in QHD. I’d recommend an RX 5700XT to fully utilize the FreeSync support this monitor comes equipped with. However, it does provide good G-sync compatibility too, meaning a GeForce RTX 2060SUPER (soon to be considered obsolete) would be enough juice for most scenarios.

I started off by loading my go-to game, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, a fast-paced first-person shooter that benefits hugely when played on a rapid monitor. The first thing I noticed was just how smooth the gameplay felt. Thanks to the combination of its 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT response time, Counter-Strike felt buttery smooth no matter how chaotic the situation. I experienced no signs of inverse ghosting or screen tears when playing a number of different games, with FreeSync seeing to those screen artifacts nicely.

To increase the smoothness of gameplay further, users do have the option of manually selecting the overdrive settings in the panel’s on-screen display. This will manually boost the response of the monitor but will affect brightness levels – not great if you play highly competitive gaming and require the additional brightness to see into dark spaces. Motion blur reduction (MBR) is another option users have available to them when purchasing the CQ32G1 monitor.

AOC CQ32G1 32-inch Monitor

As far as colors were concerned, whilst this monitor doesn’t support HDR, the colors were still extremely vibrant and accurate. Large free roam maps looked extremely realistic, heightening the level of immersion this monitor provides during gaming.

Final Thoughts

So, there you have it, our comprehensive look at the AOC CQ32G1 gaming monitor – a 31.5inch competitively-priced alternative that really will give buyers in the curved monitor category something to think about.

Ultimately, I was very impressed with the results I discovered after testing this monitor over a 3 day period. The color accuracy was pretty good right out the box, with the preset sRGB mode being most accurate to what we consider true color. The only downside to using this profile, however, was how it locked you out of changing the luminance settings. We calibrated the monitor shortly after using the ‘User’ profile and achieved extremely good results after doing so. For those that want to use that specific color profile, we have attached it above.

AOC CQ32G1 32-inch Monitor

From a gaming standpoint, the panel was absolutely fantastic – providing excellent levels of immersion and response that would almost see it enter the competitive gaming sector. Pair the 1800R curvature of this panel with the low input lag, high refresh rate, and it’s excellent colors, and you have a great all-round panel that we would recommend to anyone.

AOC CQ32G1 31.5″ Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor, Quad HD 2560×1440,

The AOC CQ32G1 is an extremely well-priced curved gaming monitor that offers up a rapid 144 hertz refresh rate alongside 1 millisecond response time. Playing fast-paced FPS titles becomes buttery smooth when using this monitor, especially when you utilize the FreeSync technology it comes equipped with.

If you have ~$300 to set aside for a gaming monitor, and you want to get a display with the highest resolution, the fastest refresh rate, the biggest screen size, and the largest number of features you can get, you are going to adore the AOC CQ32G1.

Image Quality

Based on a VA (Vertical Alignment) panel, the AOC CQ32G1 delivers vivid black shades for stunning detail clarity when watching dark content thanks to its superb static contrast ratio of 3,000:1.

In comparison, other panel technologies (IPS and TN) have a contrast ratio of mere 1,000:1.

Furthermore, the monitor offers vibrant colors with true 8-bit depth and a wide 125% sRGB color gamut.

That extra 25% sRGB gamut allows for more saturated and lifelike colors, but if you need to do some color-critical work, you can limit the color reproduction to the standard sRGB space in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu.

Additionally, the AOC CQ32G1 curved gaming monitor has a decent peak brightness of 300-nits and wide 178-degree viewing angles, so the image won’t shift in color, contrast, and brightness when you look at it from an angle.

1440p resolution ensures sharp details and plenty of screen space even on a big 31.5″ (viewable) screen of the AOC CQ32G1. You get the same pixel density (pixel-per-inch ratio) as 1080p on 24″ – which is roughly 93 pixels per inch.

So, you won’t get as clear details and as much screen real estate as 1440p on 27″ (108 PPI), but you get a decent pixel density plus a gigantic screen.

Since the screen is huge and curved, you can sit a bit further from it which will also make the pixels less distinguishable.

Add to that some anti-aliasing and along with the high contrast ratio and wide color gamut, you get a strikingly immersive viewing experience.

Performance

While AOC specifies a 1ms response time speed for the CQ32G1, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

The specified 1ms response time refers to the MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) measure, which is actually achieved via backlight strobing.

Now, the actual gray to gray (GtG) pixel transition time is 5ms which is standard for VA panels.

In order to get 1ms MPRT, you have to enable the Motion Blur Reduction (MBR) technology which essentially inserts black frames between the regular frames in order to decrease the perceived motion blur.

This method also introduces screen flicker, lowers the monitor’s maximum brightness while active, and cannot operate at the same time as FreeSync. Overall, it’s useful in competitive FPS games; otherwise, you can turn it off.

When not using 1ms MPRT, you will notice that the pixels cannot transition from one color to another as quickly which results in noticeable trailing of fast-moving objects, particularly when dark pixels are predominant in the picture and at higher frame rates.

This is the case with most high refresh rate VA panels, and the overall amount of ghosting and motion blur on the AOC CQ32G1 monitor is tolerable given the image quality, features, and overall performance you get for the price.

To enable the 1ms MPRT backlight strobing technology, set the Overdrive option in the OSD menu to ‘Boost’.

Other available options for the response time overdrive include Off, Weak, Medium, and Strong. You can also tweak the intensity of the backlight strobing via the ‘MBR’ setting.

The AOC CQ32G1 input lag performance is excellent with only ~5ms of imperceptible delay at 144Hz when the Low Input Lag option is set to ‘On. ’

Features

In the OSD menu, you will find plenty of useful gaming features including the Game Mode pre-calibrated picture presets for FPS, RTS, and Racing genres as well as three fully customizable Gamer profiles.

There are also the Shadow Control and Game Color options which allow you to quickly adjust the gamma curvature and saturation.

The AOC CQ32G1 has a low-blue light filter (LowBlue Mode) with four different presets (Reading, Office, Internet, and Multimedia).

It’s also flicker-free (unless 1ms MPRT is enabled) which prevents headaches and eye-strain caused by prolonged use of the screen.

When the OSD menu is not open, you can use the monitor’s hotkeys as shortcuts for certain features including (from left to right) input source selection, Game Mode, Dial Point (places a custom crosshair on the screen), Menu, and power on/off.

Standard settings such as contrast/brightness, color temperature, aspect ratio, and three gamma presets are available as well. You can also use the G-Menu software to adjust all the OSD settings in a desktop application.

There are also the AOC e-Saver (adjust when the monitor goes to sleep, turns off, activates screen saver, etc) and Screen+ (splits the monitor into partitions for easier multitasking) applications available.

Last but not least, the AOC CQ32G1 1440p 144Hz gaming monitor supports AMD FreeSync with a 48-144Hz variable refresh rate (VRR) range.

Although the monitor is not on NVIDIA’s list of certified G-SYNC compatible displays, FreeSync does work with compatible NVIDIA cards. However, some users encounter brightness flickering when FreeSync/G-SYNC is enabled.

This only affects some units of the monitor and the brightness flickering is mostly present below 48FPS and/or when your frame rate fluctuates a lot.

Sadly, this issue affects a lot of monitors based on VA panels.

The AOC CQ32G1 has a sturdy design with narrow bezels, but it’s tilt-only by -4°/21°. You can mount the screen via the 100x100mm VESA pattern though.

The monitor has a 1800R curvature which nicely complements its big screen and helps eliminate distortion and improve immersion.

Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4 (max 75Hz at 1440p), HDMI 2.0, and a headphone jack.

FreeSync is supported over both DisplayPort and HDMI 2.0 with a 48-144Hz range.

Price & Similar Monitors

The AOC CQ32G1 is usually available for around $320 which is a great deal for the price.

The newer model, the AOC CQ32G2S, is available too. It’s has a steeper 1500R screen curvature, a height-adjustable stand, and a 165Hz factory-overclocked refresh rate.

We also recommend checking out the Gigabyte G32QCA based on the same panel as the AOC CQ32G2S.

Since the AOC CQ32G2S and the Gigabyte G32QCA are better and usually available for just $20 more, we recommend investing in them.

If you’re looking for something similar but with a flat screen instead of the curved one, check out the LG 32GN650.

Now, in case you don’t want to deal with slow pixel response times and VRR brightness flickering, consider investing in the Gigabyte M32Q with a 1440p 165Hz IPS panel.
