AOC CQ27G1 DisplayPort Curved Screen Monitor, Zero Brightness Adjustment, 2560x1440 🖥️ Resolution, Blue Light Filter, Swivel and Frameless Design, G1 Series, HD, HDMI Review

I recently decided to upgrade to a 144Hz monitor and went for it. Here are my impressions after a few weeks of use. A few notes: This is my first time using a VA panel as well as a 144Hz panel and a curved screen. Colors: They look good. Compared to my old monitor (LG 27uk650), my friend and I preferred the LG for the richer colors, while the AOC has deeper blacks. When they're not next to each other it's not that noticeable and videos and pictures look very nice. Brightness: This was a big…

I bought this monitor because I recently upgraded my CPU and GPU and wanted to take full advantage of their performance. I'm upgrading from a Dell E2414H monitor released in 2014 with a 24-inch TN 1080p panel, 5ms response time, 60Hz, 1000:1 contrast ratio and 250nit maximum brightness. I can honestly say that the AOC CQ27G1 is a huge improvement, but then again, my previous monitor is pretty good by today's standards. This monitor feels huge compared to the 24 inch monitor I had previously. I…

This review is dedicated to AOC CQ27G! 27 inch 1440p monitor, no 1080p version. Knowing it was a VA panel and after reading some very negative customer reviews I was skeptical about buying this monitor. BUT! Right from the start I have to say that I am very impressed. No issues with this monitor, no stuck pixels, no glare, very good gray balance (which was a big issue on the IPS display). replaced) and very good color and brightness. So, let's look at the details. Out of the box this monitor…

I've had the monitor for about a day at the time of writing this review, but I've played a few games for a total of about 6 hours to get a good sample. Here are my thoughts: Switching from a flat to a curved monitor. Yes, it is VERY noticeable at first. But after perfect centering and 15-20 minutes of play, the curvature was no longer noticeable. - Default picture settings are bad, and "Gaming" modes are even worse (especially for games!). If you have the patience to spend about 20 minutes…

This monitor is currently the best solution for your budget monitor. Period. 144Hz is a huge step up from 60Hz or 75Hz, and the difference is huge when you're playing a game where you can hit 144fps or more. noticeable when upgrading to 27 inches. I'd say this is perfect for those sitting at a medium to long distance from their monitor. 1440p is a great fit for 27 inches. It has more ppi (pixels per inch) than the 24-inch 1080p and again the difference is noticeable, especially when reading…

Then let me get one thing straight. This monitor is a darn good buy. (27 inch 1440p/144hz) Let me explain why I feel this way. PROS: 1) This monitor is exactly what it says it is and what AOC told me. A solid gaming monitor that works as intended. There's not a lot of "bells and whistles" but that suits me. It has good color contrast (for a VA panel), is solid and the curve isn't excessive. 2) You'll have to edit the window and game settings to set it to 1440p/144Hz, but once you do that the…

EDIT: DisplayPort 1.2 now works as advertised. I upgraded my computer, it turned out that the problem was related to how my old setup was working, not the monitor. This monitor is quirky but offers great features for the price. I know the COVID-19 crisis has affected monitor prices, so I'm assuming this monitor costs $230 (which is what I paid for it). The picture quality is excellent. The monitor comes with a slightly shaky factory calibration, but that's easily fixed. Viewing angles are also…

I am a promising streamer. And this monitor is great. It's pleasing to the eye, the colors and quality aren't harsh, the size is MORE than big enough. I have 2 different monitors and although the other monitor is brighter and I can see everything better, it's harder on my eyes. I found that I was more prone to headaches and migraines the longer I watched it. But this monitor does the same thing, but it takes a heck of a lot longer (laughs). Colors and quality are smoother but crisp and clear…

Review (AOC CQ27G1 27 inch Curved) It's hard to choose a monitor when so many factors go into choosing a good monitor. I was concerned this would be a downgrade as I'm used to an entry-level 'photographic' monitor. , the venerable HP LP2475W. But I was so wrong, this "cheap" AOC was better in almost every way. The black quality, while certainly not OLED, is GREAT and noticeably better than the TN/IPS I've seen, there's no noticeable backlight blur in a lit room (I only use this in a lit room…

I have had this monitor (old version, same monitor) for over 3 years now. This thing is very good, I have an AMD graphics card (5700xt) and I adjusted the settings to run ycbr at 144hz. While it's not a 4k monitor, it's barely noticeable. Colors are phenomenal, black looks great and this is the best monitor I have ever had. It doesn't look that great with default settings on my graphics, but with settings and games on this monitor it looks very good. Everyone who sees him remarks how great he…

I've had this monitor for a few days now and was able to get it where I needed it to really enjoy this monitor, but it was worth it because this monitor is very affordable. I definitely like playing with it. Since it's out of the box, the color space is great, but 250 nits is the lowest I can think of for a monitor. and tell the truth I will probably never buy 250 nits again in the future after experiencing this. but for $240 it's not bad ;) Even at 300 nits I would give this monitor five stars

While I'm not really a fan of curved monitors, I wanted to upgrade my BenQ GL2460 (which now serves as my secondary display) and came across the cheapest 27-inch QHD monitor I could find, running at 144Hz. Read reviews and then bought After about a month I'm mostly satisfied with this display (especially for the price), but there are a few shortcomings, namely a rather low peak brightness at 250 nits, afterimage and pixel sticking. I can handle the brightness as I'm not used to being brighter…

I'm certainly not a monitor expert, but this was great to use on my daily driver desktop. It replaced a Dell 60Hz 1050p OEM monitor I used. The reason I kept the old Dell for so long was that it had great vivid colors despite the low resolution. This monitor is also an excellent choice for color reproduction; The colors are bright and the black is very dark. It's also very punchy, and on a 60Hz panel, 144Hz makes a HUGE difference. Everything seems ridiculously smooth, even the desktop. Very…

I've never tried high refresh rate monitors before and, frankly, the responsiveness is incredible. I had low expectations when purchasing this monitor, but reviewers kept mentioning the different refresh rates, so I took the risk as I needed a second monitor for my workflow. Black text isn't as sharp as on a 4k monitor, but due to the 1440p resolution, you can't really tell the difference on anything else. I can't find words for how much better my experience with this monitor has become. In my…

Here's what you're missing out on for the price: no built-in sound system, slower pixels smearing the dark parts of the screen. The lack of sound is a big bummer for me, but honestly I always wear headphones and at this price point I'd rather have no sound than a tinny bassless aftermarket sound system. This is the biggest compromise this monitor has and depending on what you need it can be a deal breaker. However, the aforementioned blurriness is only noticeable if you actively look for it…
