A 200Hz monitor for only 1,890 CZK. Its stand can be tilted, customers give it 4.9 out of 5

Those who primarily play shooters will appreciate the smooth image and fast response time of a monitor. Both can be had for under two thousand crowns, with a model that customers can’t stop raving about. The AOC 24G4HRE with a 200 Hz refresh rate now costs 1,890 CZK instead of 1,992 CZK with code ALZADNY30; you couldn’t buy it cheaper on Alza before.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you primarily play competitive games and want a 200Hz IPS monitor for the least amount of money.
⚠️ Consider that the stand only tilts, you cannot adjust the height, and HDR10 at 300 nits brightness won’t perform any miracles.
💡 For 1,890 CZK, you are buying the monitor at its lowest price in Alza’s history, and 39 out of 42 reviewing customers gave it five stars.

Save 760 CZK compared to the launch price

The code ALZADNY30 reduces the monitor’s price from 1,992 CZK to 1,890 CZK, a discount of 102 CZK, or 5%. At first glance, not a huge deal. However, the AOC was already sold for 1,992 CZK in the previous promotion and had not gone lower on Alza until now. Now it’s another hundred crowns cheaper.

A more significant saving comes when compared to the time the model was launched. Back then, it cost 2,650 CZK; with the code, you can now get it for 760 CZK less. Alza has more than five units in stock.

For shooters, it has 200 Hz and a fast IPS panel

The core is a 24-inch Fast IPS panel with Full HD resolution and a 200 Hz refresh rate. Compared to a standard 60Hz monitor, the image is redrawn more than three times as often, making opponent movement or quick mouse turns noticeably smoother. The manufacturer states a response time of 1 ms (GtG) and 0.5 ms (MPRT), respectively. Full HD on 24 inches also has a practical advantage: the graphics card doesn’t have to render as many pixels, so even mid-range cards can handle high frame rates in esports games.

To combat screen tearing, the monitor features both G-Sync Compatible and Adaptive Sync, making it compatible with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards. The manufacturer also adds an AOC Low Input Lag mode, designed to reduce the delay between mouse movement and what you see on screen.

A brightness of 300 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 1,000:1 correspond to a typical IPS monitor in this class. The manufacturer states 120.4% sRGB coverage, so colors should appear rather vibrant. Consider HDR10 support merely a bonus; true HDR requires significantly higher brightness than what this panel offers. The matte anti-reflective surface, on the other hand, is useful when playing by a window during the day.

Height cannot be adjusted, the stand only tilts

The biggest compromise is found beneath the panel. The stand only allows tilting from −3.5° to +21.5°; you cannot change the height with it. One owner in a review points out that without a riser, the top edge of the monitor might be roughly at chin level. A stand or an arm is a solution, as the monitor has VESA 100 × 100 mm mounting on its back.

You can connect to a computer via DisplayPort 1.4 or one of the two HDMI 2.0 ports; the second HDMI input is useful for a console, for example. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone output, and the package includes a power cable and an HDMI cable. The built-in 2× 2 W speakers are handy when you don’t want to wear headphones. One customer writes that they sound quite good when gaming, while another would prefer the monitor without them entirely.

39 out of 42 customers gave it full marks

On Alza, the monitor has a rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 42 reviews, 95% of customers recommend it, and over 2,000 units have been sold. The complaint rate of 0.51% is low. In reviews, praise for its price-to-performance ratio is most common. One owner calls it a great cheap monitor for “FPS games,” while another says it outperforms even more expensive monitors.

Owners also positively rate that they don’t see blurred trails around fast-moving objects, the image hardly glares in light, and the bezels are narrow. Criticisms mainly target the aforementioned stand, and one reviewer notes that its predecessor, the AOC 24G2, had much better ergonomics. Another received a unit with two dead pixels, but Alza replaced it within two days.

When to opt for a different monitor instead?

If you primarily work or watch movies on the monitor, Full HD on 24 inches might seem insufficiently sharp, and you’d be better off with larger QHD models. Don’t expect true HDR here, and if you don’t want to buy an arm or prop up the monitor with books, look for a model with a height-adjustable stand. And if even 200 Hz isn’t enough for you, you can check out the Philips 24M2N3201PL with a 260 Hz refresh rate, which we wrote about in September.

I’d take it for a gaming setup with a tight budget

The AOC 24G4HRE targets gamers who want a fast monitor for competitive games and aren’t looking to spend a fortune. For 1,890 CZK with code ALZADNY30, you get 200 Hz, a Fast IPS panel, and synchronization with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, plus a three-year warranty and reliable ratings. At this price, I would definitely consider it as a first gaming monitor or a replacement for an old 60Hz unit, though I’d immediately factor in a stand or an arm. Those who need a sharper image or a more comfortable stand should pay extra for a different model.

Are you still gaming on a 24-inch Full HD, or have you already switched to a larger QHD monitor?
