AOC CQ27G2S Review

Summary

Overall an OK monitor but if you buy it for whatever reason there is always a better choice. AOC CQ27G2S isn't bad, it's just average everywhere and other monitors are better.

Pros

  • OK for gaming
  • Low minimal brightness
  • Some gaming features
  • Great contrast

Cons

  • Poor gama
  • Slower pixel response times
  • Unintuitive navigation through OSD menu
  • Poor performance at 60 Hz
