AOC 24G2SP 24" 1080p 165Hz
Budget 24" 1080p 165Hz IPS with a fully adjustable stand; PC-first, console-capped at 120Hz
A cheap, fast 24-inch 1080p IPS monitor that has become a default building block for budget triple-screen setups. On its own it is small for a rig; in threes on a PC it is the least expensive way to get real peripheral vision.

Pros and cons
- Three of them cost about $390, the cheapest real triple-screen view on PC
- 165Hz IPS with low input lag; 5760x1080 across three is easy for a mid-range GPU
- Height-adjustable stand and VESA 100 mounts for a triple stand
- 1080p at 24" looks soft from rig distance: mirrors and dash text get fuzzy
- A single one gives a narrow field of view; it only makes sense in threes or mounted very close
- HDMI 1.4 only, so consoles get no high-refresh benefit
Watch out: Triple screens are PC-only: PS5 and Xbox can only mirror one image. Bezels are visible in the seams, and you still need a triple monitor stand.
What it feels like
- Wrap
- Sharpness
- Smoothness
- Brightness
At 165Hz on PC, motion looks smooth and responsive.
It sits compact on a desk, but the view feels small from rig distance.
1080p on 24 inches is acceptable up close, though pixels become visible.
Like looking at a racing game through a laptop-sized window.
What the 24G2SP works with
- Works with PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.
- Consoles drive a single screen; a triple setup needs a PC.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The AOC 24G2SP is a long-running budget favorite: a 23.8-inch flat IPS panel at 1920x1080 and up to 165Hz, with a 1ms (MPRT) rating and adaptive sync. For a first sim rig on a single screen it offers clean, sharp-enough image quality at a price that leaves money for the wheel and pedals. The stand is the bigger draw: height (about 130mm), tilt, swivel and pivot, which makes it easy to line up at eye level on a desk or rig-mounted monitor arm via the 100x100 VESA pattern. The weak points are size and connectivity. 24 inches gives limited field of view, so it feels small from a rig seat, and 1080p looks soft if you sit close. It has HDMI 1.4, not 2.1, so PS5 and Xbox are limited to 1080p at 60 or 120Hz, not 165Hz. On PC, DisplayPort 1.2 handles the full 165Hz. There is no HDR worth using, and speakers are an afterthought. Buy it for a tight budget; step up to 27 inches, or a triple setup, if you want immersion.
Questions buyers ask
Will it run 165Hz on PS5 or Xbox?
No. Its HDMI ports are 1.4, so consoles are limited to 1080p at 60Hz, with 120Hz possible on supporting consoles/titles only if the monitor accepts it. Full 165Hz needs a PC over DisplayPort 1.2.
Can I mount it on a rig or monitor arm?
Yes. It has a 100x100 VESA pattern. Remove the stand and use a rig-mounted stand or arm rated for its weight (about 9.4kg with stand, less without).
Is 24 inches too small for sim racing?
It works for a first rig on a desk, but the field of view is limited. Sit close, set the in-game FOV correctly, and consider 27 inches or triple screens later.
