There's an interesting trend going on. NVIDIA graphics still dominate the graphics cards market in sales and in critical acclaim while AMD has clearly fallen behind.

And yet, AMD is getting every monitor manufacturer to adopt its Adaptive Sync-based FreeSync monitor frame rate synchronization technology. All this while NVIDIA's G-sync has nearly no support at all in the gaming display segment.

Prices of monitors equipped with FreeSync aren't as high as they used to be, and AOC is currently building what is likely the cheapest FreeSync monitors on the market. So if you are interested in getting a fancy FreeSync monitor under $200 (€178), this is what's currently available.

The AOC G2260VWQ6 and G2460VQ6 will be available in September 2015 for $152 and $198 respectively, and both will feature Anti-Blue Light Technology to help reduce short-wavelength light when users are gaming. Intense Blue Light wavelength won't do any good to your eyes and after all we're human.

Powerful features for a very affordable price

The G2260VWQ6 is a 21-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080@60Hz and is equipped with D-Sub, HDMI and DisplayPort input ports. The only weird thing being that AOC decided to implement the D-Sub port instead of a full-blown DVI, but I guess adapters will do the trick this time as well. The monitors also comes with a headphones out port and can also be tilted.

The AOC G2460VQ6 is a bit more advanced. While it has the same features as its smaller 21-inch brother, the G2460VQ6 is 24" but has the same 1920x1080@60Hz, and comes with the same display inputs: D-Sub, HDMI and DisplayPort. Features-wise the new AOC G2460VQ6 is almost identical with the G2260VWQ6, but it does have however some extra minimal speakers.

For better quality gaming monitors AOC also promised to bring the 27-inch,1920x1080@144Hz: DisplayPort / DVI Dual Link G2770PF in October but at the much higher price of $428 (€ 381).

It's impressive how and why FreeSync managed to get on any monitor manufacturer in the world, the reason being that it costs almost nothing to implement it in your existing infrastructure with no costly proprietary hardware, royalties, or licensing requirements.

With AMD’s FreeSync technology, monitors boast a one-millisecond response time at 60 hertz, which helps prevent image tearing, stuttering, input lag or motion blur.
