Connectivity: HDMI 2.0 x 2, DisplayPort 1.2 x 1, USB-C 3.2 x 1 (DP alt mode, upstream, power delivery up to 65 W), USB HUB, Headphone out (3.5mm) There’s no doubt that a 1440p monitor is the best choice for most people, whether they intend to work or play on it. WQHD or QHD monitors are getting cheaper by the minute, and if you’re hoping to do some gaming, they – unlike 4K and ultrawide displays – don’t require an extraordinarily powerful GPU to make the most of them. In a lot of ways you get exactly what you would expect from the AOC U27P2CA: a no-nonsense, affordable 4K monitor that's going to serve you well for just about any office task. It's less impressive when it comes to gaming, movies, and creative work where colour accuracy is key, but that's factored into the price.

It’s generally accepted that 27in is the sweet spot for 1440p monitors, but anywhere down to 24in is also perfectly good for working or casual gaming. WQHD gaming monitors will almost always measure 27in across the diagonal. It’s simply a matter of preference and available space. There are four USB-A ports, including two mounted on the side for easy access. The USB-C port, meanwhile, is capable of delivering 65W of power and carrying a video signal at the same time, so you can charge your laptop while using the Q27P2CA as a second monitor. The Q27P2CA is an extensive and complete solution for professionals that are looking for a productivity-focused monitor with rich connectivity and high-quality image. It features USB-C with 65W Power Delivery, 4 USB 3.2 and a 27” IPS panel with wide viewing angles and QHD resolution. This monitor is also gaming ready with Adaptive Sync that ensures effortlessly smooth action.

Thoughts on the AOC Q27P2Q

When we put the Q27P2CA through its paces, it produced a great set of results, indicating that the panel is colourful (max 134% sRGB coverage) and accurate (an average Delta E of 1.16 in sRGB mode). It’s bright and punchy, too – suitable for any working environment from well-lit kitchens to dingy makeshift offices.

Panel technology: As always, IPS LCD panels are the most common kind. IPS panels have decent contrast, great colours and viewing angles and generally higher response times. Some gaming manufacturers use nanoIPS variants with even better colours, though you will pay more for the privilege. The EV2795 also has a huge number of ports. Alongside two HDMI 2 ports and one DP 1.4 port, you’ll also find three USB-A 3.1 ports (plus a USB-B 3.1 port to power them) and two USB-C 3.1 ports, one of which can be used to create a daisy-chain with a second USB-C monitor. Of course, you’d expect as much at this price. HDR: High dynamic range can have a huge impact on the colours and shades of your favourite game or movie. You’ll see a lot of 1440p gaming monitors with DisplayHDR 400 certifications (or similar) – this is the most basic form of HDR available. The number indicates the maximum brightness (in nits) of HDR content on the monitor in question. The famed Samsung Odyssey G7 made this roundup without breaking a sweat. There’s very little that can match this monitor for sheer performance, and as its price slips ever downwards, it’s becoming dangerously good value as well. You will occasionally find 1440p VA LCD panels, particularly if you’re looking for cheap gaming monitors. These offer fantastic contrast and good colours but weaker viewing angles and higher response times than IPS.The BenQ Mobiuz EX3210R is an incredibly solid 32in curved gaming monitor with good credentials and an even better price tag. This 1440p, 165Hz VA monitor performed well on test, delivering a wide gamut of colours accurately. Contrast and brightness are both good, although the entry-level HDR 400 certification is best ignored – you won’t notice much of a change. But that’s okay: this is a vibrant monitor, and an immersive one too, thanks to that aggressive 1800R curvature. inch 1440p screens are perfect for productivity since they offer more details and space compared to the usual 1080p variants. You can tile multiple programs or windows at the same time, while enjoying sharper, yet still very legible text or small objects. Games and videos also look great, but the GPU requirements for the former are considerably higher than 1080p screens. When work is done, these monitors are the perfect partner for light gaming, as they come with a 4 ms GtG response time for fast and smooth pixel transitions and Adaptive-Sync support to synchronise the monitor’s refresh rate with the GPU’s framerate to achieve tear-free visuals. The QHD models Q32P2CA and Q27P2CA also offer a 75 Hz refresh rate as opposed to the common 60 Hz refresh rate, providing a 25% smoother visual experience when observing fast moving objects or cursor movements.

AOC expands its professional P2 line-up of business monitors with four new displays in 27” (68.6 cm) and 32” (80 cm) sizes. Each of the new monitors employs USB-C connectivity for a single cable connection to laptops, tablets and mobile devices to simultaneously transfer the video signal, power and data to connected SSD or hard drives. Aimed at business users who require large screens with high resolutions to display multiple applications at once, the 32” U32P2CA and the 27” U27P2CA boast ultra-sharp 4K resolution (3840 x 2160), while the 32” Q32P2CA and the 27” Q27P2CA have a native resolution of QHD (2560 x 1440).

You can make do with a cheaper, less adjustable stand if you’re prepared to wedge books or similar underneath, but it’s nowhere near as convenient or stable as a proper stand.
