AOC CQ27G2

The AOC CQ27G2 is an affordable 1440p 144Hz gaming monitor yet it offers a high contrast ratio, a wide color gamut, and plenty of features including FreeSync, 1ms MPRT, and an ergonomic design! Sadly, it has a slow response time speed and VRR brightness flickering issues.

The AOC CQ27G2 is a decent monitor for most uses. The low input lag and great response time deliver a great overall gaming experience. It's also a decent choice for office use or multimedia, but the limited viewing angles might be an issue for some users. Although it has decent reflection handling, it can't get very bright, so it might not be the best choice if you're in a bright room.
