Just bought this monitor, in Singapore it is one of the few available at its actual MSRP. Personally I couldn't be happier with it. My only complaint is that the "HDR" is utter garbage. Other than that it's really great and the stand is so amazing, especially because i can change my monitors positioning so easily. (You could always just buy a monitor arm, but it's great to have a perfectly serviceable monitor stand in the box). Would definetely recommend this monitor. Great job AOC!!

@@thenoddy7 So far, it's been really good. The monitor lives up to the refresh rate and no ghosting promise as well as the vibrant IPS colors. I did notice that there was a little bit of light bleeding on complete black screens (mostly in 2 corners), but I think that's an okay tradeoff since it is an IPS panel. The build quality is solid, even though it's mostly plastic. It's not super gamery which is nice. Overall, I'm very happy with it. Obviously, this could change in the future if the panel dies or something else, but I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. Regardless, I personally recommend it!

This monitor has the best name of any monitor I've seen you cover. It should get points for having a name that doesn't sound like you are having a stroke when you say it. But seriously, thanks for doing these. I recently bought a BENQ EX2780Q because it was the only freesync panel available at the time, and I'm not sure if it was a good purchase or not sure to a lack of reviews around the net. If you have an opportunity, I would greatly appreciate it if you could cover that panel, or even tell me if there is a similar panel you did review that I could check out.

I have the AOC Q27G2 (non-S, curved 27” 1440p 144Hz) & it’s good. Nothing mind blowing. Tried to optimize the colors but it’s just alright at best. Lots of reports from other people saying that AOC is a panel lottery, since lots of people reported dead pixels. OSD is alright, no issue. My LG 48 CX puts this monitor to absolute shame though so I’ll probably sell it eventually.

I have 1 more QUICK test to suggest, if you guys have access to an Xbox Series S or X. Lots of people are looking for a monitor for those console to do 1400p, 120Hz, VRR. But apparently a lot of monitor with the specs for it, just don't work once hooked to the xbox. I was going to order the ViewSonic VX2758-2KP-MHD or the M27Q from gigabyte but looking it up plenty of people have the issue and even a viewsonic tech told them those monitor aren't built for consoles so they will not give support for that issue. I ended up ordering the Pixio 277 Prime for 100$ more since this one had people confirming it worked and there is even this line on the newegg listing "Xbox: 1440p, 120Hz, VRR". Also i can confirm the Viewsonic vx2768-2kp-mdh did work, but there was a lot of ghosting on that screen so i returned it.

Your monitor testing has given me the insight to know what to look for in a 144Hz+ monitor, so thank you very much for that. Also, I would love to see a review of this enticing thing: Acer Nitro XV340CKP 34 inch UWQHD 1440p 144Hz. I looked into the Samsung G7 but the intense curve put me off and I've found it hard to find many 32" 1440p 144Hz+ monitors that are IPS with good response times but not bank breaking and this one seems to be it, its an added bonus that it is ultrawide and at a very nice price point currently of £500.
