AOC has partnered with esports powerhouse Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) in a landmark collaboration that marks a pivotal moment in competitive gaming. This strategic alliance introduces specialized gaming monitor: the performance-focused CS25G.
As the first gaming monitors with official CS2-authorized features and optimizations, the display unites AOC’s cutting-edge technology with CS2’s thriving community of over 1 million active players since mid-February 2025. The monitor features CS2’s official authorized design and exclusive built-in optimization functions, providing players with unprecedented competitive advantages in a game where milliseconds determine victory.
“Counter-Strike’s evolution into CS2 represents a groundbreaking moment in gaming history, with millions of players worldwide and a thriving esports ecosystem,” said Carol Anne Dias, Director, Middle East & Africa for AOC Monitors. “Our collaboration brings together AOC’s technical expertise and CS2’s competitive legacy, resulting in the collab monitor – purpose-built tools that demonstrate our commitment to serving this passionate community.”
Exclusive CS2-Optimized Features
Featuring a comprehensive suite of game-specific optimizations, CS25G is the first purpose-built gaming monitors specifically for Counter-Strike 2. At their core, the dedicated CS2 Mode automatically configures display settings essential for competitive play – brightness, contrast, color, and input lag settings – ensuring peak performance without manual tweaking.
The immersive CS2 Light Effects System transforms each match by synchronizing RGB (Red, Green, Blue) lighting with key game moments, flashing during bomb plants and pulsing with explosions. Completing the experience, the user interface features a CS2 branded Boot Screen and a game-themed OSD (On-Screen Display, the menu system for adjusting monitor settings), creating an immersive competitive environment from startup to shutdown.
Advanced Gaming Features for Competitive Edge
Precision-engineered for esports, these monitors integrate powerful technologies to bring a competitive edge. The Advanced MBR Sync Technology combines MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) with Adaptive Sync, eliminating screen tearing and motion blur during fast-paced action. Shadow Control and Dark Boost enhance visibility in dark areas, revealing hidden enemies and crucial details that might otherwise be missed. The Sniper Scope feature completes this tactical arsenal, providing precision targeting capabilities.
CS25G: High-Performance Gaming
The CS25G showcases a 24.5″ IPS panel, balancing competitive edge with visual brilliance. It delivers a swift 300Hz refresh rate (overclockable to 310Hz) and 0.5ms MPRT, while the IPS technology ensures superior color accuracy. Complete with an ergonomic design, it offers the perfect blend of competitive performance and visual fidelity.
