Absolutely love this monitor... watch out for flashbangs if using hdr, they hurt lol. But it Looks so stunning. Feel like it's a great price point for what feels like an high end monitor. I can't seem to notice what the hate is about when it comes to it being a VA, as somethings about viewing angles, but I had not have any problems with it nor notice. Even from being across the room. I have a ips monitor as my 2nd and couldn't tell a difference from angles. I was paranoid about ghosting, since that seems to be the main complaint... but I also couldn't notice it at all too. Anytime I thought It was ghosting, it ended up just being the game having motion blur on. Once I turned that off, my so thought ghosting completely gone. My last monitor was pretty bad. Playing the last of us was my final push at getting a good picture monitor and it did not disappoint at all. I will say relying on the hdr mode on the monitor alone is bad, very saturated. Did not calibrate so it may just need to be tune. I just used the HDR mode on windows 10 and everything was perfect. Think windows just calibrate it on its own while utilizing it. For the low price for Mini led which is said to be as close as you can get to Oled and having HDR 1000, which is said HDR only really noticeable pass 600. One hella of a deal. Looks better then a lot of monitors I see at best buy that cost way more. Will share picture later if I can

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!)

It's a good monitor with a nice clear picture and good colors, and a decent price. Motion was smooth set to a high refresh rate. I liked that it had the options for height, tilt, and rotation as standard without buying a separate stand or arm.The original package kept the monitor safe and secure through shipping. Everything was easy to put together and I had it connected to my PC and working on the fine tuning in about 5 minutes. I appreciated that AOC didn't go over the top with a "gamer vibe"...this monitor wouldn't look too out of place in an office cubicle.My only complaint (and the reason I wound up returning it) is just the nature of VA panels...there wasn't anything wrong with the monitor itself. For mixed use (gaming/office work/general purpose computing) I didn't really care for the VA panel as the corners appeared a little washed out if I didn't have everything set up perfectly for the right viewing angles. For a setup focused primarily on gaming, this is probably not a concern.

I've had this monitor for about 8 months now and it looks great. I use it for gaming, and I find the 27" screen size to be great for my setup, especially with the 180Hz refresh rate it puts out. The resolution being 1440p is the perfect middle ground between clarity and gaming performance. This is a VA panel but so far, I have not experienced any ghosting that is a concern with these kinds of panels. Color contrast is great but has its limits. If you are on a budget but don't want to sacrifice on clarity, then this monitor is an excellent choice and comes with a 3-year warranty for dead pixels which is a great safety net for buyers.
