For players with less powerful gaming desktops, which don’t need expensive 4K monitors, the AOC G2460PF ($210) just might do the trick. Used as an inexpensive, full-HD gaming monitor, the G2460PF displays games in somewhat faithful colors at high frame rates. However, its cumbersome menus and questionable picture presets make this monitor hard to recommend enthusiastically. The G2460PF is thoroughly “good enough,” and if that’s all you need, it may be worth a look.

Design

Black and red are the de facto colors of hardcore PC gaming, and the G2460PF has both of them in spades. With a black stand and a red frame for the monitor, the peripheral is fairly attractive, and not nearly as aggressive as the color scheme might suggest. It’s not exactly stylish, but it should blend into any kind of setup.
