Our review
The AOC Q27G4X pushes the refresh rate to 180Hz in QHD at a very aggressive price, a steal for competitive gamers. HDR support adds contrast to compatible games. You'll need external speakers, as this model has none built in.
Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the AOC Q27G4X run at?
The panel shows 2560x1440 pixels across 27 inches, around 109 pixels per inch. That is QHD, the usual compromise between image detail and the load put on the graphics card. The IPS panel keeps colours stable whatever the viewing angle.
Is the AOC Q27G4X a good monitor for gaming?
Yes. The panel runs at 180 Hz, well above the 60 Hz of an office screen, and motion gains a lot of smoothness. At 2560x1440 you still need a graphics card able to keep up with that pace. The 27 inches at 2560x1440 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
What features does the AOC Q27G4X include?
No, there is no USB-C port on this model, so the connection goes through the usual video inputs. Beyond that it offers HDR and a height adjustable stand, but goes without built in speakers and a curved panel. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the AOC Q27G4X worth 260 euros?
At 260 euros it scores 4.4/5 across 2,800 Amazon reviews. The score sits in the healthy middle of the comparison. We gave it our QHD 180Hz great price label in the selection. Main strength: highly responsive 180Hz. Main compromise: no USB-C.
