Product Overview

AOC CQ27G1 is an affordable 27-inch QHD 1800R-curved gaming monitor in AOC's 2019 lineup. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel that reaches 144 Hz refresh rate.

Its 1800R curvature provides a more immersive visual experience. The included stand comes with tilt, swivel, and height adjustments that make for a more ergonomic viewing experience. Additionally, this monitor can get quite contrasty.

In terms of drawbacks, this monitor lacks HDR support and is not very bright. Further, the 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of color reproduction.

Reviewer score 51% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from rtings have found:

Decent monitor for mixed usage. Gamers will love the incredibly low input lag and great response time, plus it supports FreeSync for a nearly tear-free gaming experience. The 27 inch screen is big enough for productivity, but the viewing angles are poor. However, the gray uniformity is excellent, so solid colors, such as on a web page or a document, look great.

Pros

Great out-of-box color accuracy
Great response time at its max refresh rate
Excellent gray uniformity

Cons

Poor viewing angles
Doesn't support HDR
