The AOC Q27G2S/EU 27-inch QHD gaming monitor has a resolution of 2550 x 1440 pixels, a good viewing angle, bright color reproduction and a contrast of 1100:1.
Gaming requires fast pixel times and image refresh for a reactive and stable image. The pixel time is 1 ms (MPRT) and the image refresh rate is no less than 165 Hz when using the DisplayPort 1.2 connection and 144 Hz when using the HDMI 2.0. Nvidia’s G-Sync technology is available for variable refresh rate (VRR) to prevent image tearing. There are 2x HDMI 2.0 and 1x DisplayPort 2.1 connections, no USB hub or speakers. The average energy consumption is 36W.
The monitor is made in black with red accents, but not so striking, so it is also suitable for office work. The construction is sturdy, the frame has narrow edges and it stands on a chic star-shaped base. The screen can rotate on this base and the height is adjustable by 13 cm. Furthermore, the screen can be tilted and placed vertically.
The OSD menu contains gaming settings, additionally there is I-Menu software to control the screen settings from your Windows PC and G-Menu software for recording gaming settings per game.
This beautiful 27-inch QHD monitor with a sharp image, bright colors and little frills has a good price-performance ratio.
