About this deal

sRGB emulation mode available– whether or not the screen features an sRGB emulation mode to reduce the colour gamut if needed. Only applicable if the screen is a wide gamut model, but some may not offer this feature leaving you limited to the full native gamut all the time There was also an HDR mode hidden in the OSD that I decided to try, and while I can appreciate it may not be the same high HDR standard we expect from much more expensive HDR600+ or FALD panels, it did give me a very similar look and style as I have experienced on other mid-range HDR monitors in the past. At the maximum refresh rate of the screen we will also include our familiar more detailed response time measurements, which includes a wider range of transition measurements as well as some analysis of things like the refresh rate compliance. This identifies how many of the measured pixel transitions were fast enough to keep up with the frame rate of the screen. Ideally you’d want pixel response times to be consistently and reliably shorter than this refresh rate cycle, otherwise if they are slower it can lead to additional smearing and blurring on moving content.

The stand is again the same aggressive styled stand we have seen on previous AOC monitors. Made of the same plastic as the monitor with a red satin ring around the base to match the accents on the monitor, it looks fantastic. The two large pointed legs that come toward the front of the monitor keep everything extremely well planted and secure. Játszhatnánk velük békésebb időkben is, de a nemzetközi feszültségek és háborúk semmit nem vonnak...Az AOC 27G2U egy remek monitor, remek áron. Az biztos, hogy nincs szégyenkezni valója semmilyen tekintetben. A menő dizájnon túl elképesztő mennyiségű extrát pakolt bele a gyártó és bizton állíthatjuk, hogy túlmutat az árcéduláján, épp bátran ajánljuk mindenkinek, akinek egy jól konfigurálható, felextrázott monitorra van szüksége, ami a játékokon túl filmnézésre is remekül használható. On the software side, the Q27G2U has a myriad of options, including a sneaky crosshair overlay (that I most definitely haven’t used in hardcore CoD…) There are also a fair few game modes that cater to different genres of game. I mostly sit in the FPS mode but they all add their own colour and screen tune for the best experience. I did spend an awful amount of time using the racing mode as well. I must say the modes cater very well to the big games in their respective categories. Recommended brightness setting – to achieve approx 120 cd/m 2, which is the recommended luminance for LCD monitors in normal lighting conditions You will see from our calibration settings listed in the table above that we switched to the ‘scenery’ mode. This gives access to the ‘skin tone’ setting which when set to ‘reddish’, made oranges look better at least. You do need to then turn sharpness down a bit, and the colour saturation setting as suggested in our table, but we felt the overall image looked better and we achieved slightly better results from our calibration process [ detailed report]. Our calibrated ICC profile is available here if you want to try it.

The Q27G2U is AOC’s latest flat screen model that comes with a fast 144 Hz refresh rate. Its 1ms reaction time and FreeSync Premium technology deliver smooth, beautiful images that even make games with high-end requirements more enjoyable and ensure you keep your competitive edge in multiplayer. In a game like Sea of Thieves, the higher peak brightness, better colour and better contrast ratio led to a gorgeous and more immersive world. This is not the only area the Q27G2U will excel: In creative software, the VA panel has a clear advantage, where colour replication is king and fast response is second. A színek gyönyörűek, viszont ehhez azért bele kell ásnunk magunkat a beállításokba, alapból ugyanis kicsit kékes színárnyalatokkal operál. One other note is that when you change to the User mode colour temperature setting the screen looks massively washed out and bright, as the RGB channels are all set at 100 by default. Once you’ve changed those to something like our recommended settings it looks fine, and delivers a white point close to 6500k. Further calibration using our i1 Pro 2 device made some final corrections and produced an ICC profile [ detailed report]. Contrast ratio was actually improved a little through using this User Mode colour temperature, now measured at 3166:1 which was pleasing. The brightness adjustment at the bottom end was limiting as we said above. One other observation was that yellow shades looks a little more mustard than bright yellow in visual tests, and we didn’t seem to be able to correct this from the screen settings. Response Time Performance at Maximum Refresh Rate 144Hz Default white point (colour temperature)– we aim for 6500k which is the temperature of daylight, so will measure the default setup out of the box and include the % deviance from this targetAlong the bottom are the OSD buttons. These are fairly easy to use but it does become quite hard to distinguish the buttons when feeling for them. The guide that is embossed into the front of the monitor is also fairly hard to see, which is both a positive and a negative. On the plus side, it doesn’t take away from the sleek styling but on the flip-side it doesn’t make it easy at all to navigate the menus. The buttons could have done with being ever so slightly more raised and distinguishable from what’s around them. Három hétig vendégeskedett nálunk az AOC 27G2U, de már az első napokban beleszerettem. Egyrészt nem gondoltam volna, hogy ennyivel jobb egy 27″-os kijelző, a 24″ mellette már-már nevetségesen kicsinek tűnik, pedig ezelőtt egyáltalán nem volt hiányérzetem a méret után. Maga a monitor dizájnja is remekül el lett találva, épp ezért rövid idő alatt az asztal díszévé válik. Az elképesztő mennyiségű extra már tényleg csak mindenre rátesz egy lapáttal. Contrast ratio – the default measured contrast ratio of the screen out of the box before any calibration or corrections

Contrast ratio was particularly strong for an IPS-type panel at 1337:1 out of the box which was excellent. This was maintained after calibration at 1329:1. A very good result from an IPS-type panel. Our calibrated settings are listed in the table below [ detailed report], and our calibrated ICC profile is available here if you want to try it Reponses Time Performance at Maximum Refresh Rate 144HzHa pedig a monitor oldalánál vagyunk, ejtsünk pár szót a jobb alul található gombokról, amikkel testreszabhatjuk a monitor beállításait. Na ez az, amit szívből gyűlöltem. Komolyan, egyszerűen azt hinné az ember, hogy a 10 éves alsókategóriás monitorok gombjait nem lehet alulmúlni, pedig de. Na persze nem ez az ember tragédiája, el lehet vele lenni, de azt garantálom, hogy senki nem ezért fogja szeretni a 27G2U-t. The stand also allows the monitor to be fully adjusted in height, rotation, tilt and swivel. This means that no matter what your positioning needs are, the Q27G2U has you covered. Recommended OSD settings – our calibrated settings to reach an optimal hardware setup, aiming for 2.2 gamma, 6500k white point, 120 cd/m 2 luminance and highest contrast ratio. You will find our calibrated ICC profile in the relevant section for each screen as well if you want to try it. We will test and measure a range of aspects of these displays, although the main focus is on gaming as that is the target market for these models. By way of a brief explanation of what some of the results mean we thought we’d include this short guide: Maga a monitor anyaghasználata minőségire sikeredett, szerencsére mindenhol matt anyagot használtak, így nem kell attól tartani, hogy karcos/maszatos lesz a zongoralakk. Nem mondanám prémiumnak, mert fémet azért még nyomokban sem tartalmaz, viszont hozza a kötelezőt. Összegzés

Régóta furdal már a kíváncsiság, hogy mégis mit tud ez az AOC 27G2U, hogy folyamatosan ott van az eladási listák élén. Persze az egyből látszik, hogy miért viszik, papíron mindent tud, amit pár éve még csak a több százezer forintos prémium monitorok, viszont az árcédula nem 6, hanem csupán 5 számjegyű. Mit is tud?The general construction is made of a durable matte textured plastic that looks clean and will meld into any setup with no issue. A pixel response time of 1ms means speed without the smear for an enhanced experience. Fast-moving action and dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without the effects of ghosting. Default gamma– we aim for 2.2 which is the default for computer monitors, so will show the average achieved out of the box and the % deviance from our target
