AOC Q27G2S 27" Gaming Monitor, QHD 2K 2560x1440, 165Hz 1ms, G-SYNC Compatible, Height Adjustable, 3-Year Zero-Bright-dot,Black

This is an amazing monitor for my Mac mini m1 (34 inch IPS AOC U34G3X). First it comes with both a HDMI and DP cable. I used the HDMI cable to hook to my m1 mini and it goes up to 100hz refresh rate which is great, I tried 3 others cables to see if it was possible to get to any higher and none of them worked higher than 100hz. If you are going to use this with HDMI just stick with the included cable or one you already have. I also bought a USB-C to DisplayPort cable that gets me to 144hz just fine. Not ideal having to take one thunderbolt port away doing this, but the included usb-c connectors on the monitor partially make up for this. I love the fact that it has 4 USB ports, 2 are labeled as quick charge. I found that I could plug in two unpowered USB hubs into the quick charge ports and they work fine for low power devices like my keyboard, mouse, webcam, security keys etc.. haven’t tried something like a hard drive plugged into them. The two additional ports seem to be faster than the quick charge ones, I ended up plugging in my 1TB SSD drive that goes to around 9XX MB/s read and write when connected via USB-C to my thunderbolt. When plugged in the monitor it gets around 38X MB/s read and write which is respectable though not as fast as the thunderbolt. When I tried the quick charge ports for the SSD it’s so slow not to be useable so I’ll stick to using those for devices that don’t require speed. My other ports on my computer are all occupied and at best I could plug it into a USB hub plugged into a USB-A port but that makes the drive about 250 MB/s write and 200 read, so plugging it in the monitor was the best choice. Even removing the hub as a test and plugging the drive directly to a Mac USB-A gets the same speed, so oddly enough through my monitor makes is run faster compared to the Mac USB-A. The stand is amazing the amount of degrees of freedom it allows to move the monitor and switched to using it despite having an arm that works with this monitor. The picture quality is amazing though colors in certain situations with HDR mode on look off, but in general I appreciate how this mode colors everything compared to normal. I use an app called BetterDisplay to tweak the monitor settings further than MacOS X allows including custom HIDPI modes that scale everything to an ideal size that isn’t too small or too big. It also comes with monitor quality speakers which as usual are of low quality, but at least are loud enough to not worry about being too quiet.

Was it bit skeptical on purchasing this monitor but the flash discount on it was too good to pass up on. I'm glad I bought it. It's a lot larger than I expected. Unit came in an extremely large box and packaging. I really liked how the instructions were printed on the box as you open it. Colors were bright and had no dead pixels on arrival - I left the settings on default. I really don't game as much - I mostly watch video content and do server scripting for a friend - so I can't really give a review on AAA gaming experience. The stand is greatly designed - it can rotating sideways and tilt about 45 angle both ways. It's height adjustable as well. My only con about the monitor is how the plastic rear shroud seems kind of loose. May be it's how the unit is designed but my old LG Ultrawide rear shroud seemed more sturdy. Overall, I'd highly recommend this monitor for consumers since the price is affordable. The quality is good and unit so far performs flawlessly.

I love this monitor. I've had mine for 1.5 years now. I have used it for gaming, photo processing, and digital art. My daughter frequently gets her Victory Royales due to the combination of my CPU and this monitor. I consider this to be one of the best electronics I have ever purchased, and I will hopefully be buying more of these in the future. Great value for the money I paid at the time, so hopefully the price doesn't bloat.

Ok, I like this monitor. I'm using it for Xbox series S. I know on Xbox it stretches the image out to fit the screen, but it looks right to me when playing War Zone 2 on it. It achieves the 120Hz but only at 1080 through the HDMI port. The Display Port does get to 144Hz at 1440 though. I found/bought an adapter that converts the HDMI to the DP for this. Zero dead pixels, or vertical lines, or any flaws for that matter. Turning on the built in crosshair is useful sometimes as well. The stand is adjustable for height which is a huge plus for me. Not a huge fan of the on screen menu (hard to navigate). Overall I am happy with my purchase. I like it more than my Samsung UWQHD. For anyone having trouble with the Xbox getting it to display/recognize the monitor above the 1080 resolution. Go to the display settings on the Xbox, look for the "more options/overscan" tab. Then see if your Xbox is set to auto detect signal. Change it to HDMI (manual setting) after that you can go back and change it to the 1440 output. And if using the HDMI to DP converter (sold separately) hooked up to the DP input on the monitor, you can achieve 1400 @ 120Hz (WRONG, SEE EDIT) . Hope this helps. EDIT: Found the Xbox series S just dials the frequency back down to 60Hz when using the 1440 resolution. Didn't notice before writing review. Still a good monitor, but DOES NOT ACHIEVE the 1440 @ 120Hz with Xbox using expensive adapter to use the DP input. PC is able to, but not Xbox. I will be returning this monitor and go back to searching for a monitor that will let the Xbox series achieve 1440 @ 120Hz.

Great monitor and better price than store. Delivery was questionable but the item is great.

Ya tengo poco más de dos años con este monitor, su calidad me ha parecido bastante buena, pero realmente no me gustó mucho el tipo de panel, en ese momento que lo compré pasé de un monitor IPS a este que es VA y los colores la verdad me decepcionaron un poco, además de todas formas se sentía en ocasiones mucho ghosting, entiendo que es por el tipo de panel, así mismo me causaba algo de Mareo en ciertas ocasiones y eso sin tener el Overdrive muy alto, hace poco compré el modelo actual pero con panel IPS y es una maravilla en calidad de color y además se siente un poco mejor. Lo recomiendo? Sí, el monitor a mi parecer no está nada mal, puede ser excelente para empezar o para usarlo de monitor secundario como lo tengo ahora mismo.

Good

Antes de que lean esta review Este monitor AOC G2S 27 pulgadas, lo compré por el video que subió el youtuber yanpol, su video "EL MEJOR MONITOR GAMER DE GAMA MEDIA BARATO" Bueno ya esta es mi review : Excelente monitor, muy bueno, y además este modelo el AOC G2S, se puede girar verticalmente como para ver el chat de Twitch, me encantó. Me dejo de doler el cuello, porque se ajusta a la altura qué quieres, y con el tilt, el paneo, todo muy bien. Excelente calidad de imagen y video, colores y todo. Y aunque leí que se quejaban del menú, a mi no me molesta para nada, es de paciencia y de sentir los botones de la parte de abajo, está de todo excelente.

Colores muy buenos y los Hz tal como indica en la descripción, si trabajar diseño de imagen y juegas te sirve muy bien pues yo lo ocupo para trabajo y jugar en la PS5. Tiene fuga de luz muy tenue típico de los paneles IPS pero nada que afecte o haga ver mal la imagen.

It's a very good monitor for the price. The cheaper ones will probably be worse in one way or another. For example I had an HP one that was pretty much identical but hadn't had an adjustable mount allowing it to ascend and descend and tilt like this one does. Actually, the tilting feature is very comfortable for me. I use it all the time, I rotate it to share the screen with my girlfriend or just adjust the tilt to try sitting more comfortable/fix my posture. 144hz feels very nice and I am not sure I'll be able to go go back to 60 anymore :) The only shortcoming on this monitor is it's brightness. It doesn't work well when sun shines onto it, I can barely see anything and I use it in a sunroom. Other issue I had with it was that the monitor actually has an audio jack on it. The audio passes to it through the HDMI/dp port. Windows might switch your audio device to the monitor and you'll have to put your headphones into it. Which is fine. However if you're just sitting nearby and youre listening to some music and the display shuts down from inactivity your music cuts off as well, which shouldn't happen to be honest. It isn't an issue for me anymore because I use the jack on my case instead, but be aware if this is important to you. The actual color quality is pretty shit as well but it is to be expected for the budget version. See video for distorted blacks and other colors.

Es muy cómodo de usar, al girar y regular la posición del monitor. Al ser IPS tiene unos colores y calidad increíble. Me encantó
