  • Great monitor!! (With one workable flaw)
Size: 27" QHD Curved Screen Style: 144Hz Low Latency
This is a fantastic monitor for the price! And honestly, its competitive with monitors that cost double the price. People often overlook VA panels because VAs just have a general bad rap. I don't know where it comes from, but the stereotype that you need IPS is mostly false. IPS does have the best color accuracy, but unless your doing photo/video work that demands perfect colors, a VA will do great. The colors are vivid and accurate, and the viewing angles are good too. Unless you're gaming at a 70 degree angle from the front of your screen you will never have issues. Also, monitor preference is very subjective. While some people may prefer the faster technology of IPS (which can mean less ghosting), many others (myself included) care more about the superb contrast ratios provided by VA. For one, I have yet to encounter ghosting issues on my display. But also, this VA literally has a 4X better contrast ratio than the average IPS. I played on IPS for years and I always hated how every black color was just turned into a grayish blob. Now I can see different levels of darkness in full detail. Nighttime levels in games are playable and enjoyable now! So for half the price, you can get a 144hz 1440p monitor that rivals $500 dollar IPS options. It's a no-brainer. To top it off, the packaging is superb. When I opened it I was not concerned at all about potential damage. And it has zero dead pixels. The only con I have to mention concerns g-sync compatibility. This monitor is not on the official Nvidia list of compatible monitors. However, when you go into the Nvidia control panel to set it up, it indicates that the monitor is, in fact, compatible. The g-sync works well, and I was amazed by the buttery smooth feel I got even at frames well below 100. Now here's the downside. Apparently there is a strange but replicated bug when you have this monitor plus a 1000 series Nvidia gpu. IF and ONLY IF you turn on g-sync, and your frames drop under 100, the screen will randomly lose display for a second before coming back as normal. I found a reviewer that discussed this issue and they found it persisted across several of these monitors and when trying different cables. https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-cq27g2u-cq27g2/ It doesn't happen if you stay over 100 fps. It happens rarely (once per hour) between 100-80 fps. And it happens more frequently (once every 20-30 minutes) under 80 fps. The times are not consistent those are just my rough estimates based on usage. If you turn g-sync off this doesn't happen at all. Also, it has been reported that this issue doesn't appear of you have a 2000 series gpu. Honestly, I still leave it on most of the time, because I'm willing to lose display for a second or two per hour in exchange for buttery smooth goodness the rest of the time. However it is disappointing that the issue exists at all. ... show more

  • Got the 34" ultra wide today = AWESOME
Size: 27" QHD Curved Screen Style: 144Hz Low Latency
Update #2 : Just bought myself a second AOC monitor, this time the 34" ultra wide 2k 144mhz. A very good monitor for gaming! So far I'm liking this monitor a good deal. It's what I'd expect. There is definitely better but absolutely nothing wrong with this one for the price point. You definitely want to have g-sync/adaptive sync off though. If you're getting this for that, then look elsewhere. But honestly both those features are pretty irrelevant IMO. I've tested numerous gaming monitors from cheap to rich pig expensive and not one time was I ever like "oh wow! That g-sync really made my experience better!" In this monitor's case, I find that it reduces performance while not improving picture quality much. Other than that it's great.... no dead pixels, only slight ghosting on black screens, pixel response time is fast enough (again, as long as g-sync/adaptive sync are both turned off). Brightness is more than satisfactory for any room that isn't quite literally a room surrounded by glass windows. (outdoor use in the sun would be a bit rough, but who does that?) I have two primary complaints : 1) The curvature pretty much does nothing, as it is too slight for a monitor 27" or larger (i got the 27" here). Might be ok for a 24" or smaller. 2) Every single cable it came with was DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Even the power cord! This is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Luckily I had higher quality versions already available to me. I'd recommend this to any gamer who isn't a top tier e-sports player and wants to spend a reasonable (as opposed to excessive) amount of money on a good monitor. I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone who thinks g-sync and adaptive sync are essential to their gaming. Obviously considering my cable issues, I'd also recommend you purchase your own ahead of time. ... show more

  • One of the best gaming monitors under $300 you can buy.
Size: 27" QHD Curved Screen Style: 144Hz Low Latency
I have been currently using this monitor for the past two and a half months, and my experience with it has been an interesting one. Firstly let's get the specs out of the way. This is one of the cheapest monitors that you can buy that gives you 1440p, 27", 144Hz refresh rate, Adaptive Sync, and 1ms response time. Most other panels of this quality are around $300 minimum, so getting this for $260 is a steal. In addition, the stand for being a budget monitor is fantastic. Giving you both tilt and height adjustment is unheard of at this range. No corners were cut here. The picture quality is fantastic as well. QHD at 27" inches is a treat to look at (I was using a TN 1080p 24" 60Hz monitor before). Also the control quality is fantastic as well. AOC's promise of a 3-year zero dead pixel warranty and 1-year accidental damage is extremely generous compared to the rest of the competition. If you do encounter a problem you should not worry about your few hundred dollar investment. Now here are some caveats and issues that I had faced with this monitor in the first month of use. For my PC I am using the AMD RX 5700 graphics card, which has always been prone to driver bugs and issues. During this first month of use, I had times where the monitor would not detect the GPU output and not switch inputs over to the connected HDMI. I would have to reboot the monitor entirely to get it working again. This however has been fixed with the latest AMD Adrenaline driver update. In addition, I had issues with how Adaptive Sync worked with my GPU. The most glaring issue being when I enable a custom GPU fan profile using MSI Afterburner, the monitor would go black for seconds at a time, and would occur every half minute or so. I would need to turn off my custom fan profile and suffer higher GPU temperatures in order to use my monitor. However, the latest AMD GPU driver patch fixed this issue as well. As of now, I have no issues with my PC detecting my monitor or face any strange issues with the display turning on and off. Aside from driver issues, the usual caveats with VA panels apply to this monitor as well. You have great contrast ratio with the better blacks than IPS or TN, but you do suffer from poorer GTG response times. This can lead to black smearing when your game encounters dark environments. I haven't noticed this smearing in my own use, however YMMV. Also, the brightness is definitely on the lower side at 250 nits. I would have really appreciated 300 nits minimum. I use this monitor in a dark room so 250 nits is not an issue, but if you use this monitor in a naturally lit environment you may struggle to use this monitor. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this monitor, but my first month and a half of ownership of this monitor could have been smoother. Though this was at the fault of my own hardware and not the monitor. I anticipate anyone with an Nvidia GPU would not have face the same issues as I did. If you have a flat budget of $300, I highly recommend this monitor (if it is ever in stock). Otherwise, I would try to stretch the budget to get a brighter IPS gaming monitor. ... show more

  • Good Screen, but Lines visible on Desktop Images
Size: 27" QHD Curved Screen Style: 144Hz Low Latency
After hooking up this screen, updating the drivers in Windows 11 (seriously, go to the website and update the drivers!), and tweaking some of the screen settings, I noticed that the desktop images have lines in them. There are also other spots I noticed initially, but can't remember exactly where, so I'm not sure if the lines are a thing with VA screens or it happens that mine does it but others don't, however, since it isn't noticeable in games and they're not visible when I'm coding or writing, I just will likely learn to ignore it. Besides that, I love having a 1440p screen for just about everything I do. Yes, it gets a little weird when I'm scrolling on a doc (from the motion blur), but still, at about 2 feet from the screen it makes everything easier to read and way easier to deal with reading long lines of code or writing and I don't have to scroll as much to keep working on the same section which is definitely nice. Yes, the blur means I can no longer slowly scroll read, but again, since I'm scrolling far less, it actually probably is a wash overall. I also absolutely love the high refresh rate even though I'm definitely not using it to its fullest with the games I play (LoL, Timberborn, Bloons TD games, etc) and on games where you have fewer graphic control settings (looking at you Bloons) you can get this interesting screen flashing, but it's actually pretty minor when you actually are playing, but games where I can control the settings, in the game itself it doesn't happen. It can sometimes occur on loading screens, but again, pretty minor. Overall, it's a decent budget 1440p monitor with decent capabilities and fits my desk just fine. I do have it on a monitor arm with my second screen and though the arm was designed for 24 inch monitors, the curve means it can fit the 27 inch just fine without messing up my secondary 24 inch 1080p screens angle. As well, unlike some of the other brands in this price range, it did have a Vesa 100 mount and took a standard computer cable for power, so I didn't have to run a separate cable (I already have a computer cable splitter to power my 2 monitors) versus a lot of brands now, so that was a plus for me, but might not be for you. Lastly, it's got a bezel that's not too thick, but the monitor controls without their software are hard to use, so that's also something you'll want to download if you buy the monitor to use as you tweak it for your environment. ... show more

  • Buy this monitor if you see it at $259.99!
Size: 27" QHD Curved Screen Style: 144Hz Low Latency
I purchased this product at $259.99 and I would buy it again at that price. FreeSync flickering This has never happened to me once! I've been using the monitor for a few weeks and it's a non issue. I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and have not tried NVIDIA. But if you have an newer AMD graphics card like I do, I recommend this monitor! Ghosting I barely notice the ghosting. When I'm looking for it, I can see it on text, but it's not noticible in game (except a little with moving text) and I don't think it should be an issue for most people. Darker blacks I've never used VA before. My two most recent screens are a 1080p 144hz IPS on my Acer laptop and a 1080p 75hz IPS on my Asus monitor. To be honest, I can barely tell the difference. VA has a little bit darker blacks. Backlight bleed This montior does have backlight bleed just like an IPS. My Asus monitor has almost none but it's also smaller. Expect some backlight bleed with this monitor. If there was a monitor that guaranteed ZERO backlight bleed but cost more, I'd buy it, but backlight bleed exists at higher price points too. It's a roll of the dice. Luckily, you can only see it during dark scenes and sometimes not even then! Dead pixels MY monitor has NONE! I hate dead pixels and the reason I went with AOC is because their warranty is second to none on paper. I hope I don't have to use it but it's amazing to have. 1500R Curve I have never used a curved montior before and was suspicious. However, I like the curve because I barely notice it while using it and it does make for an impressive look! The stand It's the best. I have always had to look down at monitors but this is not as issue with this one! ... show more

  • Great monitor with great resolution!
Size: 27" QHD Curved Screen Style: 144Hz Low Latency
I was able to get this monitor when it was on sale for $250, and it was a steal at that price for the resolution and refresh rate. I was a little worried because I saw some people had dead pixels on their screens, but mine does not have any. I do have one dim pixels that is off near the edge of the screen, but it is barely noticeable and only against certain colored backgrounds. This has been my only issue with the monitor. The monitor stand is very nice, allowing for easy monitor tilting as well as raising and lowering. The resolution (1440p/2K) is a great upgrade from my old 1080p monitor. If your head is any more than like 6-8 inches from the screen, you can barely make out the pixel lines which makes this monitor great for office and gaming tasks. The refresh rate is super fast and probably way more than I’ll ever need, my gpu doesn’t get me enough frames for that. At first I was having problems accessing all of the settings for this monitor, because some of them were just greyed out, but then I switched from using HDMI to a DisplayPort cable, and they all become available. So I would recommend using DisplayPort over HDMI if you can, but HDMI still works fine. If you can get this monitor on sale I would definitely recommend it for gaming! ... show more

  • Fantastic monitor, and not just for the price!
Size: 27" QHD Curved Screen Style: 144Hz Low Latency
I took a real chance on this thing. It was made by a company I've never heard of, it was the cheapest monitor in its class by far, and I was getting it "open box" condition. But I gotta say, I'm glad I took the plunge! Usually when you get something that costs so much less than its competitors, there's a reason for it. It may still be a good product, but compromises had to be made somewhere. But in this case, I can't find them. It's very well built, works flawlessly and doesn't have any weird compatibility issues like my old Acer monitor. Looking at other reviews of this monitor, the general consensus seems to be that the only downsides are some minor color inaccuracies and that it doesn't get very bright. Well, I can't speak for color inaccuracies because I couldn't care less, but this thing was almost painfully bright when I first turned it on. Now maybe that's just because I'm coming from a monitor that was..adequate, to be polite about it, but I really can't imagine someone needing something brighter than this. The only complaint I have is that the buttons along the bottom need to be marked more clearly. They're just slightly raised icons just barely darker than the rest of bezel; impossible to see without extra light. But that's par for the course when it comes to monitors. I've seen ones that cost 3x more than this one that still have the same problem. Overall, a fantastic monitor even without factoring in the price. But when you can snag it for $200? That would be a good deal even for a 1080p monitor in the 144hz class, let alone 1440p. ... show more

  • Very good monitor for the price!
Size: 27" QHD Curved Screen Style: 144Hz Low Latency
I’ve had this monitor for almost 6 weeks now, and it has been amazing. I’ve got zero dead pixels, the picture quality is great, the colors are vivid, and the overall build quality is pretty top notch! For the price, you can’t find a better 1440p 27” curved monitor than this. Initially I was a bit skeptical about the curved screen, thinking it was just a dumb gimmick so manufacturers can charge more for these things. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Because the distance spread from your eye to any given point on the screen is much lower than a flat screen, the entire screen in your peripherals is in much better focus, making it easier to see and causing less strain on your eyes. Gaming on this is far more immersive than on my old flat monitor. The only downside is that there are no internal speakers, but I don’t care. I had some old pc speakers from the 1980’s laying around that work like a charm. Overall, I’d give this a 10/10 and would totally recommend this monitor to anyone. I intend on buying a 2nd some time in the future and I will update my review if and when that happens. ... show more
