Our Verdict
Samsung Odyssey G3 S24AG30
AOC 24G2
The AOC 24G2 is a much better gaming monitor than the Samsung Odyssey G3 S24AG30, but they use different panel types. The AOC has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles, while the Samsung has a VA panel with better contrast. Even though they each have a 144Hz refresh rate, motion looks much better on the AOC thanks to its much quicker response time. The AOC is also a better choice for use in well-lit rooms because it gets brighter and has much better reflection handling.
