AOC Gaming Q27G4XD - 27 Inch Quad HD Monitor, 180 Hz, 1 ms, FreeSync. Prem., G-Sync comp., HDR400 (2560x1440, 2X HDMI 2.0, 1x DisplyPort 1.4), Black

Coming from a much older 1080p monitor, the Q27G4XD was an incredible upgrade for me. Paying just £134.99 before postage, I'd say I got an incredible deal, very good value. The 2560 x 1440p resolution allows things to look super sharp, and going back and forth between 1080p and 1440p options in games really surprises me as to how much blurrier 1080p can seem, making 1440p a great, refreshing option.Jumping from a 60Hz to a 180Hz monitor makes a very big difference, even in just general scrolling on the internet. Until I got to experience it for myself, I never would have realised how noticeable the difference truly is, and it only gets better for playing games. Rotating the camera makes it feel as if I'm turning from left to right in real life, it's just that smooth.The IPS display has wonderful colours, especially coming from TN displays. Where previously I could have gone slightly above or below my monitor and have the colours go all wrong, the viewing angles on this monitor are truly great. When going too far to the right or left, you can notice things go a little... darker(?), but ideally you wouldn't be moving that far around the monitor when using it, so it really isn't an issue.I can appreciate the fast response times, inclusion of HDR, good selection of ports, and other features. This is a 27 inch monitor, and you should have seen my face when I first saw the box! I initially thought of the screen to be ginormous, but now it's normal to me, and an excellent upgrade that fits perfectly in my setup. Very easy to set up with the inclusion of DisplayPort and HDMI cables in the box. Also surprisingly thin, which I can always appreciate even if I won't be seeing it from the side too often.The RRP sits at £179.99, but the monitor frequently goes on sale. Even at full price, I think the value you're getting with this monitor is too great to pass up on.

Great monitor, decently bright with low glare, nice stand, decent colour accuracyAs spec’d it has good pixel & amazing refresh rate

This AOC monitor is a 1440P (QHD) 180HZ (high refresh rate) HDR capable screen.I've been using a 1080P 120Hz AOC as my primary monitor for the last 3 years and been very happy with it.I've changed my graphics card to one that is more suited to a 1440P monitor so decided to get this to pair with it.Overall I'm very happy with it. It's a nice large screen (27 inch which is as much as i like for desktop use) , vibrant and very smooth with the high refresh rate. A good monitor at a great price.

FaultyWould love to write a review if only it worked

Absolutely superb stylish looking monitor 👏 perfect colours, vibrant brightness. size is great, sturdy adjustable monitor height and angle while on stand. Frame rate is noticeably fast, has a button for custom crosshairs if you wish. Functions 10/10

First impressions - the display is beautiful. Bright, sharp, colourful, no dead pixels.The build quality is a bit tacky, though; the case feels cheap and there's a small uneven gap at the top of the bottom bezel that is probably going to collect dust over time. The stand is ok, but in trying to make it look cool is really not super stable in terms of falling forward. They provide a restraint to attach the monitor to a wall to stop it falling - but really, who's doing that!?The menu is not quite as bad as others have made out, but somehow the buttons never quite correspond to what you intend to do. It could have been so much less clunky for no extra effort.I've tried it for a bit of gaming and it seems good - certainly faster than my eyes!There is a built-in audio device that's picked up, unfortunately pretty useless as no speakers! There's a headphone socket that you could plug some into, but in reality I ended up having to configure all my computers to ignore it as an audio device - more hassle than if they'd just omitted it entirely.In summary, great display, but the build quality has suffered to meet the price point.

Easy to put together and screen quality is amazing, really good monitor for the price!

Decided it was time to upgrade from my 2 DGM IPS-2701WPH 27" IPS LED Monitors that are over a decade old and cost £319, at the time. What a difference it's made.I've got the AOC Gaming Q27G4XD side by side with one of my old DGM's and initially thought I had dead pixels on it. However it turns out the image quality is so good that it picked up some white dots from my desktop background image that the DGM didn't display.Good points✅ As mentioned above the image quality is astounding in comparison. but there are lots of options in the OSD to fine tune to your requirements.✅ At £134 on sale, it was an absolute steal. it's currently back up to £189 as I write this review. I intend to buy another if / when the price drops again>✅ The frameless border is great, coming from the DGM which had a massive side frames.✅ Although not immediately apparent, it is VESA 100 for wall/arm mounting.The only niggles are:❌ There's some very minor black space on the left and right of the screen before you reach the frame. I'm not sure if that's because I have the DGM connected as a 2nd monitor but it's hardly noticeable anyway.❌ There's no USB hub although it's advertised, never needed it though.❌ No built in speakers, but again I didn't need them.All in all , this monitor is a steal when it's on sale and I'm really happy I found it.Just a word of note, there are several variations in the AOC Gaming Q27G4X range. From what I can tell the AOC Gaming Q27G4XD is the newest version that has FAST IPS, the Q27G4X does not, and the latter is sometimes more expensive than the Q27G4XD
