When it comes to gaming monitors, AOC is always at the forefront, ready to deliver quality products at reasonable prices. The company's new G1 series is no different, offering curved gaming monitors ranging in size from 24 inches to 32 inches with prices starting at $229.99.

The monitors that AOC has announced include the following:

C24G1 -- 24 inches
C27G1 -- 27 inches
C32G1 -- 32 inches
CQ32G1 -- 32 inches

The C24G1, C27G1, and C32G1 all feature Full HD (1920x1080) displays, while the CQ32G1 ups the stakes with a QHD (2560x1440) display. Three of the four displays feature an 1800R curvature, with the exception being the C24G1 which is 1500R.

What all of the G1 series monitors share in common is their fast 1ms MPRT response time and AMD FreeSync support. And on top of that, all four monitors support a 144Hz refresh rate, 3000:1 contrast ratio and 250cd/m²brightness level. You'll also find dual HDMI 1.4 ports along with DisplayPort 1.2 and a 3.5mm headphone jack for your headphones. Finally, AOC's Flick-Free technology is included to help reduce eye strain and fatigue.

AOC is promising that those that wish to deploy multi-monitor setups will be happy with the extremely thin bezels that -- along with the gentle curvature -- will allow for a more seamless, immersive widescreen gaming experience.

The C24G1 is available right now at Amazon for $229.99, while the C27G1 is also available at Amazon priced at $279.99. The C32G1 and the CG32G1 are priced at $299.99 and $399.99 respectively, and will launch later this year.
