AOC G3 Series 25G3ZM/BK 24.5" Black, Red 2023
A 240Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time on a VA panel deliver smooth, blur-free motion for competitive gaming. The 24.5-inch Full HD screen with 300 nits brightness and a 3000:1 contrast ratio provides deep blacks and vivid visuals at an accessible price point. This monitor is best for esports gamers who prioritize speed and motion clarity over high resolution or portability.

Aperçu
The 30-Second Version
240Hz for under EUR 135 is a ridiculous deal, even if the stand is a glorified brick. If you're a competitive gamer on a budget, this is your monitor.
Pros & Cons
Points forts
- 240Hz at 1080p is stupid fast for the money 95th
- 0.5ms response time keeps motion crisp 93rd
- VA panel gives you real contrast, not washed-out grays
- Easy setup, and owners say it's easy on the eyes
Points faibles
- Ergonomics are basically nonexistent, no height adjust here
- Color accuracy needs tweaking out of the box
- Feature set is barebones, just the essentials
- One buyer got a used unit with a blinking screen, so check your box

Les preuves
Performance
The 240Hz refresh rate is the headline act, and it lands in the top tier of our database for performance. That 0.5ms response time is aggressive for a VA panel, and while VA panels usually struggle with ghosting compared to IPS, AOC has clearly tuned this thing for motion clarity. The 3000:1 contrast ratio is a nice bonus for darker scenes, giving you deeper blacks than most IPS competitors at this price. What surprised us is that a monitor this fast costs this little. The 300 nits brightness is fine for indoor gaming but won't wow anyone in a bright room.

vs Competition
Against the LG UltraGear 27G810A-B, you're trading size and likely better color for raw speed and a lower price. The ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B is a completely different beast, ultrawide and more expensive, so it's not a direct fight. The Dell S2725QC is a 4K productivity monitor, not a gaming panel, so skip that comparison entirely. If you want 240Hz without spending a fortune, the AOC wins on price. If you want better color and a bigger screen, the LG or Acer Nitro XV272U are worth the extra cash.

Prix
Value & Pricing
At EUR 108 to EUR 134 across German, Spanish, French, and Italian listings, this monitor is a steal for 240Hz. The spread between vendors is real, EUR 26 is not pocket change, so shop around. The best deal we're seeing is at the lower end of that range, and if you can snag it near EUR 108, you're getting top-tier speed for budget-tier money. Just make sure you're buying new, not a returned unit.
En savoir plus
Overview
The AOC 25G3ZM/BK is a 240Hz gaming monitor that punches way above its price tag when it comes to raw speed. You're getting a 24.5-inch 1080p VA panel with a 0.5ms response time, and that combo is basically built for competitive shooters. The one thing to know? This is a speed-first monitor. Everything else, color, ergonomics, features, takes a back seat.
Common Questions
Q: Is this monitor good for competitive gaming?
Yes. The 240Hz refresh rate and 0.5ms response time are exactly what you want for fast shooters and esports titles. You'll notice the difference immediately if you're coming from 60Hz or 144Hz.
Q: Does the VA panel have bad ghosting?
VA panels can have more ghosting than IPS, but AOC has tuned this one well. The 0.5ms response time helps a lot. You might see some smearing in very dark scenes, but for most games it's not a dealbreaker.
Q: Can I mount this on a monitor arm?
Yes, it has standard VESA mounting holes. Given how weak the included stand is for ergonomics, a monitor arm is actually a smart upgrade if you want height adjustment.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a monitor for photo editing, video work, or just watching movies, this isn't it. The color accuracy out of the box is mediocre and the feature set is barebones. Go get an IPS panel like the Acer Nitro XV272U or the LG UltraGear instead. You'll lose some speed but gain a much better all-around display.
Verdict
Buy this if you play fast-paced games and don't care about color perfection or fancy stands. The AOC 25G3ZM/BK delivers elite-level refresh rates at a price that makes 240Hz actually accessible. It's not a monitor for content creators or people who want a beautiful display for movies. It's a tool for winning matches, and at this price, it's hard to argue with.
