AOC G2260VWQ6 - bargain at £90?

Looking for a backup monitor, and this is currently on sale:

FHD, HDMI, Displayport and Freesync for £90? Seems too good to be true.

Anyone have any experience?

I bought this monitor for my daughters build for Christmas, the refresh rate is between 60-75Hz, so I think that's the main reason for the price, most people want 120-144Hz++ refresh for gysnc/freesync.

It's been great, works as intended and the freesync option is a nice touch, she doesn't play super demanding games though.

For a backup monitor it would be find I'd imagine.

Thanks Josh

I appreciate that Freesync is AMD only via DP, but do you know whether using an Nvidia card would still allow the 75hz refresh rate?

Only 22" as well, which might feel a bit cramped even compared to a 24"

Edit - it still looks like a well priced monitor though

Agreed, but for my backup purposes this is sufficient. My previous HP backup was 19"... served me well

I picked up 2 of the 24" inch. Id say they look alright as far as budget cheap monitors go...

Did have a cluster of dead pixels on one (RMA replacement coming monday) and the other has 1 stuck pixel, annoying cant do owt about that.
