Be sure to go easy on the colour channel adjustments as even slight reductions in each channel (1 notch) produced a fairly dramatic effect on the image. At this fast pace the degree of sharpness maintained was about as good as you would see on a 60Hz LCD. We also briefly tested the monitor using an Nvidia GTX 670 just to see if there were any obvious colour differences. Colours were displayed with good richness and variety with some particularly impressive earthy browns and crisp golden greens.The table below gives readings for white point, average central gamma and some general observations for each ‘Gamma’ setting. Some of the more notable vibrant elements in this film include the neon lights of Shanghai at night. Because it is designed to save power it only dims from there, dimming most for the darkest (blackest) images. The refresh rate and perceived blur limitations were also apparent during the rapid spins of Gymkhana on Dirt 3.

Some users are sensitive to this, particularly for the potentially ‘stronger’ flickering at lower brightness. The AOC i2369Vm’s colour gamut closely mirrors the sRGB colour space, as you’d expect given its standard WLED backlight. The contrast performance very good by many measures and essentially up there with many of the stronger IPS panels we’ve seen. There were instances of fairly weak overdrive trailing, mostly manifesting itself as a sort of partially transparent glow around certain contrasting colours.Below the standard VESA75 mounting point, an IEC power cable plugs directly into the back of the display, so there’s no external power supply box to lose. It actually allows you to set the brightness yourself, which is the peak it will reach for the brightest (whitest) images. There was very little input lag and good flexibility with the strength of pixel overdrive (grey to grey acceleration).

The only exception to this was that we disabled ‘DPS’ (Dynamic Power Saving) which is a sort of weak and gentle dynamic contrast mode that’s enabled by default. Traditionally the monitor of known input lag is a CRT display that does no image processing and can be considered input lag free. This accentuates (oversaturated) specific colour groups such as greens, reds or blues to make certain aspects of an image stand out.Looking at a broader range of pixel transitions, as we do shortly, you can actually see a significant improvement over the ‘Off’ setting. The image was not as ‘clean’ as that provided by some of the higher end AH-IPS panels such as the 27” WQHD models or indeed Samsung’s ‘semi glossy’ PLS surface.
