Q27G4ZD 27" QD OLED Gaming Monitor, QHD 2560 x 1440, 240Hz 0.03ms, HDMI 2.0 x2, Display Port x2, G-Sync Compatible, Console Gaming Ready, 3-Year Zero-Bright-Dot

Honestly I'd say my review is closer to like 4.5/5 than 5/5 but I put it to 5* just because the price is so much more affordable compared to many other monitors while also having pretty top tier quality considering the lower cost. It was super easy to figure out and set up even considering this was the first monitor I bought and set up by myself. Only issue I had was that I never realized how tightly packed monitors are in their boxes!! Makes sense to keep them secure and in good condition during shipping but I struggled to get it out. Screen size is perfect for what I was looking for. Not too small but fits into a smaller space which is what I am currently working with. This monitor isn't meant to last a super long time for me, just until I can get a new space with more room which may be a year or two from now. So for the time being, it's the perfect size for what I need. If you're seeking more immersement, you may want to opt for something bigger. I think the resolution is great! Colors are very vibrant and my games look great. Since getting it I havent played anything too graphically intensive YET, because what I've been in the mood for hasn't been that intensive lately. But the game I have been playing like Where Winds Meet, for example, it looks beautiful. Overall, a very great monitor for the price. Granted, it's the first one I've chosen for myself but compared to my old one that my dad had let me borrow for awhile (he knows computers and electronics well and helped me build my PC and whatnot), it's very good if not a bit better and my dad had a decent inexpensive monitor (though I do forget the brand/specs for the comparison, sorry). If I have any complaint really, it's that the monitor is so thick that I can't effectively put my webcam on it. I wish it was thinner. The main reason I would make it 4.5/5 if I could. But for the lower cost and good quality for the price, the thicker monitor is doable, for sure! I recommend if you'd like a good monitor for a much more affordable cost.

Honestly, for the price point, it is a great monitor. The colors were vibrant and the brightness of the screen was great (despite it not being an IPS). You will not complain about the brightness. The HDR functionally really makes your screen pop out and makes the display very nice. I use a monitor stand, so I cannot say much on the functionality of the monitor legs.

I took way too much time before buying this. Yes, it's totally worth it. 1. The colours are outstanding. Please don't let people throw you off by remarking on a pinkish hue. For me, I've not noticed it. Colors look vibrant, darks are indeed dark and all that jazz. How this translates for you most likely: +you want to play games way too long, +watch movies for way too long, +sink hours upon hours needlessly web surfing. Why? Just cuz. The screen looks that freaking amazing! And you can't believe it costs under $300. Then there's the stand. It's proven more useful than I would have predicted. Sometimes I like to feel super official and read my kindle books on a bigger size screen - especially for DK books or you know, those cool "coffee-table" kind of books I think they are called. Anyway, this monitor is AMAZING for that. I thought adjusting the screen to different orientations would prove more challenging and keep me from wanting to do it often, but not at all. Luckily it doesn't take massive strength or strain or anything to move the monitor around, and sometimes that allows for experimentation using your monitor in ways that you may not even realized you'd appreciate. Again, for me, that's proven true in regards to reading kindle books on this monitor. I think I'd now ALWAYS prioritize having a useful, functional stand. I know that monitor arms are a thing, but for some of us, we just want to buy the monitor and be able to use it for as long as possible without having to buy anything else ;) With this, you have one of the very best monitor stands I could imagine. I also want to mention the warranty - a 3 YEAR WARRANTY that goes so far as to cover ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE in the first year. Now that is value unparalleled, and provided that they folow through on those promises to the customer, it's really hard for me to recommend anything else. To anyone who is shopping on a budget but wants something that doesn't feel budget WHATSOEVER, I'd say go this route. When I was monitor shopping, I tried an array of different monitors. Initially I was going for a 42 inch monitor, trying to go for the "best of the best". The Gigabyte Aorus 43vu, for instance, is a great monitor as is the LG C3 in that size category. I tried 34" and 32" inch monitors. Interestingly, even if price wasn't a consideration, I'd still argue that this 27 inch screen provides the better QUALITY and VALUE, which is kind of crazy to be getting both things at once, you know? I kept thinking that a 27 inch screen wouldn't be as "fun" as a bigger screen, but as it turns out, for gaming from a desk, I will now ALWAYS choose 27 inches over 32 inches and anything bigger. Basically, I was wrong thinking bigger translates to a more enjoyable experiencd. ! I know these are specific details, but there may be someone else out there going, hey! I love this monitor, but it's ONLY 27 inches! I can't tell you for sure that it is enough, but for me, the 27 vs 32 inch monitor debate ends with the 27 being the clear choice. Compared to the 43 and 42 inch sized monitors, I definitely prefer gaming on this 27 inch monitor too, I occasionally game on the bigger television I own. I so prefer gaming on the 27. Look, I don't want to encourage anyone to buy this who is gonna hate it. I'm sorry if this love letter to this monitor leads you astray and your experiences end up different than mine. But for real, if you want to skip skimming all the reddit forums and the few reviews you can find on this monitor, just take this recommendation. I came in to this skeptical and am seriously blown away. Let me address a couple of things I was worried about: +it being too big, too thick. It isn't. For me, it's perfect. It doesn't remind me of the 1990 CRTV days, and the depth it does have...it just feels right for the picture it creates, as strange as that is to say that way. I have a desk depth of 30 inches. I'll try to upload photos later in case that will help someone determine if it seems too big. 2. pinkish hue: totally don't see it. Nothing distracts, nothing makes me go oh, this monitor has a bad picture. It's good. For the money, it's great! You could tell me this should cost someone $600, and I'd believe it. It performs far above its asking price. Think about that. How often do you buy something that feels really like it should cost twice the price even? Not often enough! Do yourself a favor! Go for it. (To everyone who wants to make a size matters joke, ditto. Enjoy your day and this review!)

This monitor works as expected, a decent 24 inch monitor. It's easy to put together, the quality looks beautiful using the 200hz, resolution looks outstanding and I love the colors. It comes with a standard stand so there's nothing to adjust but not a big deal. I have it hooked up to my speakers so the sound is beautiful. Overall I'm very happy with what I got and the price is a steal.

Absolutely amazing monitor for the price! Very clean and the 240hz refresh rate is out of this world at this price point for a QHD panel. The colors may need a bit of adjusting depending on your tastes as I find them a bit too saturated out of the box, but that's small stuff that's fixable. This Mini-LED has very minor blooming. I have yet to see any mini-led or LED screen that has 0, but this one is not bad and is actually really low blooming compared to most. The blacks are deep and almost as good as OLED, and while IPS panels are slightly purer whites, this VA panel is pretty darn close. This is not like older and lower quality VA panels. This is high quality and does not ghost or stutter. The mid to low end VA panels are notorious for all kinds of performance issues, but a high end VA panel, especially with mini-LED, is actually capable of solid performance and allows us to bridge the gap between LED and OLED having the best qualieties of both without the query about burn in. For those of us that use their screens for more that just certain types of games and like to use them for multipurpose such as work, day-to-day tasks, games with static menus and huds, and anything else, OLEDS are an expensive risk and that's where this is the best alternative. In my opinion, you will be VERY hard pressed to find a monitor of this caliber as cheap or cheaper. The brightness levels are very bright, the HDR is very colorful, the motions are incredibly smooth, images and text appear crisp and clean. My last 2 little nitpicks are the lack of speakers, which is not uncommon on many monitors, and the stand is not that great. The feet are a V design that just takes up a lot of space, so if you have a small desk with not a lot of depth, it takes up almost half. My desk is 4ft wide and 2ft deep and the feet come a few inches shy of the midway seam of the desk. So if you have a large desk mat/mousepad, just be aware of the dimensions. But this is a small issue. I will probably use a monitor desk mount to free up space.

This is a truly beautiful monitor. It's my first OLED monitor, and the difference between this and my old VA monitor is astounding. My phone camera doesn't do the screen justice unfortunately, but the color accuracy difference is fantastic in person. I personally use this in the DCI-P3 color mode as it's much more accurate than the SRGB mode, SRGB is better for web browsing though and easier on your eyes. The HDR mode is honestly not that good, and makes the colors looked washed out, and honestly just way better without it since I prefer color accuracy over HDR contrast. It's my first time using HDR though so possibly I didn't set it up correctly, or Windows is just bad for HDR which I've heard, I also followed tutorials on YouTube so I believe I did everything right. Pros - • Amazing visuals, color accuracy, and text clarity • Great refresh rate at 240hz, I think it's actually 280hz on my end, but it's advertised as 240? Not sure, but not much of a difference either way between the two • Easy to set up, and looks great out of the box • Easy to adjust height and rotate, great feature I wish more monitors had • 3 year warranty including burn-in, hopefully I'll never need to use it but good to have • Glossy screen makes the colors pop, love it, but also reflects light and may be annoying for some • No VRR Flicker, I watched a lot of videos on OLED VRR Flicker before buying and I'm happy to say I haven't noticed any at all since I've bought this. I made sure to change certain settings in the monitor and Nvidia panel to get the frame rate as consistent as possible to avoid this. And I haven't noticed any before or after the changes, so I'm happy • VESA mount compatible Cons - • Terrible V stand, the "Gamer V-Shape" stand is an annoying trend and is rather large / long. This is a personal preference, the stand itself is fine I just don't like these kinds of stands, which I could change it. • QD screen purple reflection hue. Now, this personally doesn't bother me, and I don't really even notice it in game unless I'm in a pitch black area and I have room lights on behind me, other than that I never notice it unless the screen is off. But, this might be annoying to some but really isn't bad. • The "Pixel Refresh" reminder pops up seemingly in random intervals? It's supposed to show up every 4 hours of use, but I play for an hour or two, turn off the screen, come back to it the next day or a few hours later, play another hour or so and it pops up. I thought it was every 4 consecutive hours of one-time it would remind you, but maybe it's just every 4 hours the screen is on all together. • No Speakers. This might be a deal breaker for some, but I have my own desk speakers and headphones I use so it doesn't bother me Overall/ TLDR - This is a fantastic QD-OLED 2k monitor that beats the average market price and doesn't skimp out on many features. If you're on the cusp of switching from IPS / VA panels to OLED and can't make up your mind, like me, this is a fantastic budget option which I highly doubt you'll regret. It's a beautiful monitor with amazing colors and perfect for everything I'd want or need.

For starters, I come from only using IPS display gaming monitors. I’m used to solid native color accuracy, and fast frame rates with little to no ghosting, smearing, and all that other bad stuff you hear about. I saw reviews from a lot of gaming spaces about this AOC Q27G3XMN being one of the best VA monitors at this tier offering exceptional HDR and near-OLED color and blacks. However, I was weary because of it being a VA panel, which has long been technology that is frowned upon in the gaming community for not being as responsive and fast as other versions of monitors. I’m here to tell you, take the plunge and try this one out. You won’t be disappointed. Admittedly, my first experience with this monitor was sub par but only because I received a unit with a dead pixel. I processed a return and replace and got a new unit that works excellently. For my IPS gamers, when you turn this on out of the box, the display will look washed out and lacking in color. Do not be alarmed. You have to tweak with the settings to achieve the color palette you want. For regular usage (browsing, casual videos, productivity etc) I suggest setting the color gamut to DCI-P3 or switching the Gamma to Gamma 3. This will render a display portrait reminiscent of your average IPS. Saturated, but not too punchy. Truth be told, this setting will suffice even for gaming and movie watching. However, for gaming, I highly suggest utilizing its HDR mode. To do this you want to set the color gamut back to Panel Native. This will allow you to turn on HDR. Personally, I like the HDR Movie setting as it makes colors vivid and lush but not overly so like the HDR Game setting. I found the HDR Game filter to look a little too artificial and unrealistic due to it being presented far too saturated. Different strokes for different folks though, and either of these options may suit your preference better. Now for the big question, does it smear? Does it ghost? Does it have unnecessary amounts of input lag and a bogged down feel? Well…in my experience, and off my eyes, no. Yeah, I’m surprised too, considering the horror stories you hear about VA panels. But during a lot of fast paced gaming, I did not notice a single moment where this monitor didn’t look snappy and crisp. I didn’t even notice any issues reading high contrast text on webpages (that infamous IPS vs VA gif you’re thinking of? Yeah that’s not happening here.). I have the overdrive setting set to Strong, and I feel like that’s contributing to smearing and ghosting being minimized. Experts that have rated this monitor are clocking its response time at similar rates as competing IPS displays in this price range. Trust me, you won’t miss out. I’ve played some FPS games on it and didn’t have an issue at all. But I do think it truly shines in games that are about scenes and immersion. Despite my enjoyment and strong suggestion of this monitor, there are some things I feel may be concerns for people. First, the stand. While great, sturdy, and fully adjustable it’s …big. If you have low surface space, this monitor may prove tricky to place as the footprint of the base is large and can be problematic depending on your setup. Second, it’s heavy. I list this lightly, because this also just means the display is well made with good durable material. But be careful when lifting and make sure your desk is sturdy enough for this. Third, the OSD buttons are pretty bad. Navigating the OSD with these things is challenging. I love AOC monitors, they have great panels and build quality, but my my MYYY do they need to hurry up and get on the Joystick wave for OSD navigation. That’s all. Overall I highly recommend this, it’s one of the fastest VA displays on the gaming market, for a decent price and shockingly performs on par with IPS monitors in terms of speed, while providing better contrast, and a gorgeous HDR picture. It even gives some interesting and nice features thanks to its Mini-LED display tech that allows it to do more than your average VA. AOC is also a trustworthy company with a solid warranty.

This monitor has been a really nice bang for the buck. The 32-inch curved display paired with the 2560x1440 resolution looks great for gaming and everyday use. The 180Hz refresh rate makes a noticeable difference, especially in fast-paced games, and everything feels smooth and responsive. The curve adds immersion without being distracting, and setup was straightforward. For the price, it delivers strong performance and solid image quality. If I needed another monitor in this range, I would buy it again without hesitation.
