AOC has quietly debuted the 24G51Z in China — a 23.8-inch Fast IPS gaming monitor that punches well above its price. Priced at 649 yuan (about $91) on JD.com, it targets budget-conscious gamers who want blistering refresh rates and accurate color without spending a fortune.
Speed that surprises — 240Hz native, 260Hz overclock
Under the hood, the 24G51Z uses a Fast IPS panel with Quantum Dot film to boost color vibrancy and gamut. The panel runs natively at 240Hz and can be overclocked to 260Hz through the on-screen display. That extra headroom, paired with a 1ms GTG spec and a 0.3ms MPRT mode, delivers snappy motion and reduced blur in fast-paced games.
Motion tech and eye-friendly tweaks
AOC includes Adaptive Sync and its MBR Sync mode, which inserts black frames to tame motion blur without dimming the image. There’s also hardware low-blue-light filtering and DC dimming to ease eye strain during long sessions.
Color performance that feels premium
For a sub-$100 display, the color numbers are impressive. AOC claims a Delta E < 2 in sRGB, 96% coverage of DCI-P3, and 93.8% of Adobe RGB — specs that suggest the 24G51Z can double as a casual content-creation screen. It peaks at 400 nits and carries VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification for improved contrast and highlight detail in supported content.
Gaming features and tuning
Beyond raw specs, the monitor includes AOC’s custom Overdrive tuning. The company says the panel hits an optimized 3.74ms response time with only ~6% overshoot, which helps reduce ghosting and trailing. Gamers also get on-screen crosshairs, an FPS counter, dark field control, and multiple game presets — all adjustable in the AOC G-Menu software.
Design and connectivity — minimalist but practical
The 24G51Z keeps things simple: DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and a 3.5mm audio jack cover the basics. The stand offers −5° to +23° tilt and the chassis is VESA 100×100 compatible for mounts. Weight is 2.49 kg with the stand and 2.25 kg without, making it easy to move and mount.
Where it sits in the market
At 649 yuan (~$91), the 24G51Z is squarely aimed at budget gamers who don’t want to sacrifice speed or color fidelity. If you’re comparison-shopping, note recent launches from other brands: Skyworth’s G27Q Max leans into 2K and extreme HDR brightness (up to 1800 nits), while HKC’s UG27EQ pushes refresh rates to 400Hz with USB-C. The AOC, however, stands out by delivering quantum-dot color accuracy and a near-pro feature set at an aggressively low price.
Imagine getting pro-grade color and a near-260Hz experience for less than a hundred dollars — that’s exactly the value proposition AOC is betting on with the 24G51Z.
