27" Curved Gaming Monitor 2K QHD 180Hz VA AMD FreeSync Premium, CQ27G4H | 2560×1440 QHD Computer Monitor, 0.5ms, HDR, DP 1.4, HDMI 2.0, Earphone Out, Console Ready, 3-Year Zero-Bright-Dot

This is an incredibly good value compared to other monitors out there, even the other budget brands like Z-Edge, who's monitors I've used before. The refresh rate is accurate to the listing, size and resolution are also as expected and look great. 1440p truly does make a massive difference compared to 1080p. The standard VESA mount on the back works great and is only about 1cm recessed, so it should work with most monitor mounts. The brightness is wonderful. Much brighter than other monitors. (though obviously you can buy even more expensive monitors that are still brighter) The settings menu is pretty easy to get used to and the buttons are very clicky and tactile. There were zero dead pixels or bright/dark spots, though if you're really focusing on it you can tell the very edges of the screen on the left and right side will look slightly darker since the panel won't have the best viewing ratio, but that's just generally true for this kind of panel. The color accuracy is great, though mine did come pre-set to "Warm" in color temperature, so make sure to set that to normal or cool if it looks better for your setup. Personally, I think warm looks best in games, and normal or cool looks best for text, with cool looking particularly good in dark mode. Cool seems to be closest color accuracy-wise to most well-tuned displays. It was really easy to set up, and I also appreciate that unlike some other brands, the startup splash screen has a black background rather than a white one, so you don't get flashbanged when you turn it on. The only thing I'd like to see is actually for the monitor to not include a stand, (or at least have the option to) sell the stand separately, but sell the monitor itself for a lower cost. Since most monitors, including this one, are VESA-compatible, once you've got one monitor stand, you'll never need another one, and eventually most people have a monitor break on them and will have a stand left over with no monitor to pair it with. However, that's not really a critique of the product, just a preference :) Overall, for the price, this gets an incredibly solid 5 stars!

Fantastic picture, color, and contrast for the price. The stand is not flimsy at all, so not sure why it seems to be a common thing mentioned in these reviews. It's metal and screws in nice and tight.

Amazing monitor for a amazing price, I really like it and has been great, no dead pixels and really high refresh rate, really good

This review is for the CQ27G4H 2K 27" 1500R 180Hz curved gaming monitor. Paid about $199+tax for it around the time of Black Friday 2024. Full disclosure, was searching for a new monitor for both PS5 and PC gaming and was previously using a 1080p Vizio HDTV from like 2010. Any monitor nowadays would probably be an upgrade compared to that. Of what I tested, the visuals looked great for PS5 gaming. Supported 2K resolution with HDR at 120 Hz while playing supported games. No dead pixels or flickering; looked solid out of the box. Unfortunately, I stopped testing there and didn't attempt to max out the performance by plugging in my gaming PC... Because, the monitor stand was hilariously crooked to the point of being unplayable. Notice the levels on the stand legs, and on the top of the monitor - this picture wasn't taken at a weird angle, it's taken from the front! This is NOT the type of stand that features rotating the monitor to portrait mode, too - and the piece that goes into the monitor is hard fixed to the stand stem, so there's no adjusting it. (Checking Reddit and doing Google searches reveals that the monitor stand quality of AOC monitors can be very hit-or-miss.) The stand's base is also a very sharp-angled V as opposed to a regular rectangular or round island shape, which I imagine can definitely get in the way and take up a strange amount of space on your desk. My options for the crooked stand were to attempt to unscrew some of the screws on the plate to try to realign it (but didn't do that because I didn't want to risk voiding warranty), or to contact AOC customer service. Contacting AOC's customer service on their official website requires you to create an account, which is where I decided to throw in the towel and return the monitor. I had read a lot of customer service reviews with this company and seen many hit-or-miss stories too. I realize I also could have bought a third party 100x100 VESA mount stand, as this monitor does support that... But why should I have to immediately discard the stand that comes with the monitor and buy a replacement stand unless it were defective? This was my first time buying from this brand. Again, the monitor seemed fine for gaming, but the stand was very crooked and it wasn't worth the extra effort for me to come up with a solution so I could keep it.

The monitor is pretty good, but one has to remember it's a VA panel. There is some blacklight bleed as all VAs have, I've not had issue, as it varies panel to panel in production of such. This is the second AOC monitor I've owned in like... 25 years. This monitor is better than my old VA panel Viotech generic brand one which had got in 2018 and went to the digital grave when attempting to use G-Sync or something late 2024. It was also 27" sized screen like this one, but not as "strong" as the 1500R curve as this. This AOC monitor can do HDR if you want, but oh man that hurts my eyes sitting about an arm length away, so I don't. G-Sync/VRR also works on this, but remember this isn't an OLED/QD-LED so high frame rates and ghosting will happen, this is more for cinematic gaming/and browsing web/etc. Color is good, but not OLED/QD-OLED level. Documentation was kind of light, and they do expect you to download the monitor app for more in depth use and firmware updates.

Amazing monitor. Great value for money nothing beats it at that price. The interface menus is extremely easy to set up. It works better while connected to displayport using hdmi limits the hertz and brightness. Really crisp colors and the curve isn’t too much it’s just in the sweet spot.

I needed a high resolution big monitor. I saw this one as a return. It was in excellent, new shape. It's a fantasic monitor. I didn't really buy it for the curved but I think it helps my vision. It really helps me complete my work better. Since it was a return the price was fantastic. I am using it with a suface tablet and it works perfectly. I really do like this monitor.

Very nice display...OSD menu a bit cumbersome to navigate with buttons on the underside. A toggle stick design would have worked better. All-in-all, a nice quality picture and good value, esp since it's 2k.

Si lo ven a buen precio no duden en comprarlo
