AOC has partnered with Counter-Strike 2 to introduce the CS25G, a purpose-built competitive gaming monitor designed to deliver CS2-authorized performance and immersive features for esports players across the Middle East.
AOC, a global leader in gaming monitors, 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 a specialised gaming monitor: the performance-focused CS25G.
As the first gaming monitor with official CS2-authorised features and optimisations, 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 authorised design and exclusive built-in optimisation 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 and 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.”
Featuring a comprehensive suite of game-specific optimisations, CS25G is the first purpose-built gaming monitor specifically for Counter-Strike 2.
At its core, the dedicated CS2 Mode automatically configures display settings essential for competitive play – brightness, contrast, colour and input lag settings – ensuring peak performance without manual tweaking.
The immersive CS2 Light Effects System transforms each match by synchronising 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 start-up to shutdown.
Precision-engineered for esports, the monitors integrate powerful technologies to deliver 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.
The CS25G showcases a 24.5-inch IPS panel, balancing competitive performance with visual brilliance – delivering a swift 300Hz refresh rate, overclockable to 310Hz and 0.5ms MPRT, while IPS technology ensures superior colour accuracy.
Complete with an ergonomic design, it offers a balanced combination of competitive performance and visual fidelity.
The CS25G monitor is available in the United Arab Emirates through Asbis Middle East and can also be purchased from E-City outlets across various malls in the UAE.
