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.
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.
Top reviews from other countries
The contrast ratio is great, colours are amazing, the curve is cool, and the refresh rate is very nice! Brightness is more than enough for my setup. Had to turn it down quite a bit. The downside is there will be ghosting if you can't get higher fps. My gpu is not good enough to play 1440p in most games so I set the monitor to 1080p until I upgrade. At higher fps tho the ghosting isn't very noticeable once you calibrate the monitor.
Adjusting the display settings is a hassle using the buttons but luckily you can download AOC's g-menu instead. The stand is nice as it lifts and tilts to whatever position needed. The base of the stand is a little long and odd shaped but I like the cable routing and the red highlights throughout the monitor.
overall I'm very happy with the purchase but it won't be for everyone.
Features:
1. Panel - This one has a curved VA panel which is best in this price range. It gets really bright, its anti-glare & is very legible in a room with daylight. The curve actually created an immersive experience for me. Out of the box calibration is not optimised, change it to RED:50, GREEN: 42 & BLUE: 33, then it looks pleasantly natural.
2. High refresh - This is a 144HZ panel which is Gsync & Freesync compatible. I haven't faced any ghosting or input lags, checkout reviews from outside India, its claimed to be best in class for this budget. Gsync is only available if you connect using DisplayPort (blame AMD for making it proprietary), adaptors won't work.
3. Backlight bleed - There's none. Best in this price.
4. Stand - The stand lets you move the monitor vertically & horizontally (30 to -30deg), which is great feature to have, which the competition is not offering
5. Package contents - It comes with a HDMI, Display & VGA cable, crazy right?
Its a very good deal compared to the competition, marvelous job AOC!!
The version 2 of this monitor is even better but it won't come to India any soon.
I got this for ₹15600 with an offer.
This is an excellent monitor for every day use and media consumption, thanks to the contrast.
For gaming, it's a solid choice. 1440p+144hz is in my opinion the best flavor of gaming, as 4K hasn't really caught on yet, and the difference between 60hz and 144hz is huge. I've not noticed any input lag (I have the monitor overdrive setting set to Strong), fast paced action in dark environments can get a bit 'smeary', but overall I enjoy this monitor a lot for the gaming I've done, and this coming from someone who previously used a lightning fast 240hz 1080p panel.
Pros:
- 144Hz refresh rate - amazing for gaming, and has very little ghosting compared to other models at this range
- Great color accuracy and deep blacks.
- The curve is very subtle and helps with immersiveness.
- Freesync means no tearing of image, no matter you have an AMD or an Nvidia GPU.
Cons:
- 1080p Resolution, which isn't bad but might feel less if you're coming from a laptop with a 2/4k screen.
- Color accuracy isn't as great as an IPS and peak brightness isn't very high. Although I rarely crank the brightness up to 100% myself, it can be a problem if someone has sunlight coming in front of the monitor.
Not a lot of cosmetic damages as well other than the packaging.
The monitor itself has some weird colors imo though. Looks very saturated even after adjusting the settings to what HardwareUnboxed recommended and has a slightly warm tint to it.
Brightness is fine in my experience, much brighter than my work monitor.
Curve is a bit odd, need some time with it.
