  • Best monitor I have ever used
Size: 27" Mini-LED QHD Style: 180Hz
Image: Ignored that it looks washed out, I wasn't directly on it, I have HDR on, and it's bright in my room. I promise you it looks so much better and the picture doesn't do it justice. I have seen quite a few monitors in my time, from really crappy old school monitors in the late 90's, to very large Samsung 4K monsters of today. This AOC monitor is beyond impressive for the cost. I use it as my primary monitor as I simply do not see the point of 4K for gaming even though I have the hardware for it (7900XTX for GPU). My eyes simply do not notice any real difference between 1440 and 4K while gaming. Movies, sure, but not gaming. I have had 0 issues with the monitor after months of use, no dead pixels (which can happen to any monitor of any brand), no lines or streaks, nothing. The Quantum Mini-LED technology is absolutely fantastic, and my games look incredible. Now, could you get better? Yes. Could you get better at even double the price? Debatable, and I'd say probably not. I waited to catch this monitor in stock and instantly bought it the moment it became available because of the great reviews I had heard from others. My only gripe is going from a curved back to a flat, is incredibly difficult to adjust to and enjoy. Over time it's become fine, but the moment I can get a curved that is supposed to be as good for near the same price, I will do so. Basically, if you're on the fence, you don't have a Mini LED monitor already, flat isn't a deal breaker for you, and you want an absolutely incredible 1440p monitor with fantastic HDR, a great refresh rate that's more than enough for gaming, and you want to do so for around $200 which is an absolute steal, then buy this bad boy ASAP. Recommended. ... show more

  • Great price/quality
Size: 32" Curved QHD Style: 165Hz
Great monitor with a couple easy tweaks to settings. Runs Xbox series s games that allow it at 120hz, you may or may not care for this as the quality of image to me is good but not as sharp as the upscaling a tv provides, and being closer to the screen the smoke and mirrors effect of consoles does not apply to image quality. For pc games and video it is spectacular, not as bright as some monitors I have used, but very good depth to images which I prefer. Easy setup and software you can download to tweak settings from desktop as well. Beware the hdr setting will disable the ability to choose different gaming modes, took me a couple of minutes to make that connection. Image looks better in gaming mode with gamma and color adjustment to me for games than hdr for the most part to me. ... show more

  • MINI LED, INSANE VALUE, HYPE IS REAL.
Size: 27" Mini-LED QHD Style: 180Hz
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!) ... show more

  • Great monitor regardless of price, $300 is VALUE
Size: 27" Mini-LED QHD Style: 180Hz
I have the 27" Mini-LED QHD @ 180Hz Model. Been using this monitor for seven months. Crisp, vibrant colors, latency is minimal. Gaming, digital art, videos, movies, all fantastic. Youtube channel "Monitors Unboxed" has a video detailing the technical specs if that's your thing. Mini-LED hype is real. This thing compares favorably with $800 monitors. 2560x1440 resolution is ideal for 27" screen. Complaints: 1) The menu firmware and menu buttons are pretty horrendous. Thankfully you rarely need to touch them, but tinkering with settings is a pain. 2) The monitor stand is... fine. Prongs are long, takes up a lot of desk space. Good enough construction. Just buy a nice monitor arm to mount it on, the incredible value for this monitor will let you fit in other misc products in your budget. (I wouldn't want AOC to make the included monitor stand better at the cost of price, I think it's fine as-is and the customer should buy an external arm if they need it) 9.9/10, great value for a great monitor. ... show more
