AOC launches CS25G Counter-Strike 2 monitor in UAE with exclusive game features

AOC's new CS25G gaming monitor offers Counter-Strike 2 players exclusive features like dedicated CS2 Mode, synchronized RGB lighting, and competitive optimizations. The 24.5-inch, 300Hz display is now available in the UAE for serious gamers.

AOC has partnered with Counter-Strike 2 to launch the CS25G, a specialized gaming monitor with official CS2-authorized features and optimizations, now available in the UAE. The CS25G becomes the first gaming monitor specifically designed for Counter-Strike 2, combining AOC's display technology with exclusive game-optimized functions for competitive players.

CS2-exclusive features and optimizations

The CS25G introduces three key Counter-Strike 2 optimizations not found on other monitors. The dedicated CS2 Mode automatically configures display settings including brightness, contrast, colour, and input lag for competitive play without manual adjustment. The CS2 Light Effects System synchronizes RGB lighting with game moments, flashing during bomb plants and pulsing with explosions. A CS2-branded user interface includes a themed boot screen and game-specific on-screen display menu.

For competitive advantage, the monitor integrates Advanced MBR Sync Technology, combining MPRT with Adaptive Sync to eliminate screen tearing and motion blur. Shadow Control and Dark Boost enhance visibility in darker areas to reveal hidden enemies, whilst the Sniper Scope feature provides precision targeting capabilities.

Display specifications and performance

The CS25G features a 24.5-inch IPS panel with a 300Hz refresh rate, overclockable to 310Hz, and 0.5ms MPRT response time. The IPS technology ensures superior colour accuracy compared to TN panels commonly used in esports monitors. Its size matches the standard preferred by professional Counter-Strike players, balancing screen real estate with the ability to view the entire display during fast-paced matches.

The monitor's ergonomic design allows for height, tilt, and swivel adjustments to accommodate different gaming setups. This combination of specifications positions it competitively against other high-refresh gaming monitors available in the UAE market.

Partnership significance for esports

"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."

The partnership targets CS2's active player base, which has exceeded 1 million users since mid-February 2025. Counter-Strike 2, developed by Valve Corporation using the Source 2 engine, introduced major technological improvements including sub-tick netcode technology and voxel-based volumetric smoke effects. The growing MENA esports scene provides a key market for specialized gaming hardware.
