AOCGaming C27G2U - 27 inch FHD Curved Monitor,165Hz, 1 ms MPRT, VA, AMD FreeSync, Height Adjust, Speakers, USB Hub (1920x1080@ 165Hz, 250 cd/m², HDMI/DP/VGA/USB 3.2)

like first the monitor dosent go up and down or right and left and the change in settings in this monitor is so hard and cant control it easily.

Edit: If this is going to be your only monitor, and you can get it for less than £250, then go for it, otherwise, don't bother. The VA smearing effect is dreadful, I went and purchased an IPS to have alongside this, and the difference is insane. After using my IPS monitor for playing games now, this AOC VA Monitor is just a waste, total waste of money. I now realise why VA panels get a bad name. Games look murky and muddy compared to an IPS. There is a few IPS panel monitors out there you can get for cheaper, get one of those instead.When your viewing still images, then fine, but reading text while scrolling, or moving images and gameplay is just awful.I managed to snag an Amazon Warehouse "Used - Like New" on this, snapped it up straight away and eagerly awaited my order. It was delivered 2 days later so I took the through to my man cave, made myself a brew then proceeded to open the box, only to realise that I had also fallen victim to this whole mix-up between the flat and curved versions.Saying that, these are identical otherwise. So, as the box was already opened, I took it out set it up, and it was as described (apart from the lack of curve), but I was still rather peeved that an Amazon Warehouse product, which is meant to be fully checked, was still the wrong item. I paid for the curved variant, so, off to customer services I go. After a friendly suggestion of a partial refund for such a mix-up, I've ended up with a fantastic monitor that was around £100 off the RRP (15% partial refund off the used price I paid)So, my rating is for the monitor, not amazons mix-up. Although, I think AOC should be making the differences between the two models a bit more obvious. The box only seems to have the flat versions model number on it though.Fantastic monitor, after playing about with the settings a little, I've got it the way I want it. There is very light smearing compared to my old 24 inch TN panel, but with this being a VA that's to be expected, but it's the best VA panel I've seen (just remember to set overdrive to "Strong").The stand is kinda flimsy due to it being plastic, but once it's set into position i'll very rarely be moving it so that's not a problem.No dead pixels, everything working as it should so far after all the usual monitor tests you can do via software.I'm really happy with it, just wish it was the curved variant, but for the price I paid, I'm very happy.Monitor 4/5 StarsAmazons warehouse overlooking proper product serial numbers 2/5Hope this helps someone, just be careful and if you take the plunge, expect to receive the wrong monitor. Errors are easy with this product and we're all humans at the end of the day.

Nachdem Amazon mich mehr als 2 Monate hingehalten hat kam vor Kurzem ENDLICH der Monitor an (das war EINZIG UND ALLEIN die Schuld von Amazon, NICHT des Herstellers und ebenfalls VÖLLIG unabhängig von der Covid-19 Katastrophe)!Installation des Monitors war so einfach wie nie zuvor - Monitorstand zusammenschrauben (geht ohne Schraubendreher), in die Rückseite des Monitor einschnappen lassen und Kabel anschliessen.G-Sync Kompabilität wurde automatisch erkannt (ich benutze eine RTX 2070 Super), 144Hz muss man natürlich dann selber in den Windows-Displayoptionen einschalten.WICHTIG FÜR GAMER: Über das Monitormenü unbedingt den Overdrive auf Maximum stellen!Das Monitormenü ist nicht mehr zeitgemäß mit der reinen Steuerung über Tasten, da ist die Steuerung über einen Stick eigentlich Standard und sollte bei einem Refresh bzw. SPÄTESTENS einem neuen Lineup dann SELBSTVERSTÄNDLICH sein. Das ist zwar nur ein "Quality of Life" Aspekt und es funktioniert ja auch so, aber für die Zukunft sollte das eben anders sein.Alle Spiele die ich bisher getestet habe (u.A. World of Warcraft und GTA 5) sehen super aus, sowohl was die Farben als auch die Bildwiedergabe an sich angeht.Die Krümmung fühlt sich sehr natürlich an für das Sichtfeld.ACHTUNG: Der Preis sollte niemals über 320-340€ liegen. Alles darüber ist reine Gier des Verkäufers - der Releasepreis von Amazon war 313€, also lasst euch nicht abzocken!

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Monitor. Sehr Positiv zu bemerken ist das alle nötigen Kabel gleich mitgeliefert werden. Die Auflösung ,Farbbrillanz ist klasse. Klar das Menu könnte etwas Bedienerfreundlicher sein aber hey irgendwann hat man "seine" Einstellungen doch gefunden und dann muss man da eh nicht mehr ran. Ich würde ihn wieder kaufen.

This monitor is excellent. I don't think there is another that can compete at this price point for gaming. The 144hz is the highlight allowing you to play games at 144fps if you computer supports it. It also supports Nvidia G-Sync for smooth gaming with no tearing or dropped frames. Basically super smooth gameplay.The image quality is very good with good range of colours, very sharp images and detail and depth in the blacks. Looks great for movies, games, reading and coding. The 2k / 1440p resolution is perfect for this size screen.The stand is excellent allowing height and tilt adjustment. It even supports mounting in portrait mode.I have since replaced this with a desk arm (it supports VESA mount) to hold 2 screens to free up desk space and to have them aligned without books propping up my second screen.Note it comes with a Displayport cable and HDMI. To get the most from this monitor definitely use the DP cable and if you only have a mini display port get a mini-dp to dp cable. The HDMI cable is only capable of about 60hz at 2k and 120hz at 1080p. DP cable can get you full 144hz at 2k.

Had a smaller 29in Ultrawide before this (LG 600) and i would highly recommend spending more to get this. the extra desktop space is something else without looking like its too narrow, which was my primary gripe with the 29, the width was great but the height was just all wrongThis monitor has good brightness and contrast, not amazing but then not £200-400 more expensive then alternatives. its response rate is perfectly fine for work and nothing to complain with games, i dont have the means to test colour output or accuracy but i would say its largely irrelevant for what i use it for, which is mostly work (excel based) and games, initial inspection suggests the green and blue is out but since you need to remove some of the blue for work anyway its fine. Compared to my 29in IPS screen which was initially calibrated until i had to reduce the brightness and blues for work, i cant see any obvious difference, for most people i would expect this to be similar.I did need to knock down the brightness somewhat as it was giving me a headache, i reduced this to about 40Used Gamma3 and colour temp set to user, i reduced green by about 6 pointsOverdrive set to medium and reading mode set to internet, ecomode set to standard, gamemode off.The curve which ive heard quite a few people moan about is absolutely fine if your sitting the normal distance from a monitor, in fact, id say that an 1800 at a normal distance on a desk i has a negligible effect, this 1500 is feels like a great compromise, if you were seated slightly further away and the monitor was on a wall, this might be a different story. Like wise, if this were a 3 monitor setup for surround gaming, its probably a bit too curved.For work in particular, i find it pleasing and a dream to work with, for gaming, i find it immersive without being too fishbowl when sitting on a desk at a typical distance from the screen.overall, i give it a big thumbs up, i would question the logic of getting the G-Sync Version unless you have something more powerful than a 1080ti, you will not be pushing 21:9 at 1440p at 144Hz unless you drop the settings, my 1060 plays most games with highish settings at about 40-60fsp, getting the 144 for me was pointless, that said, if you have a 1080 or a 2080 then yeah, go for it, but anything less than a 1070, forget it, save the cash and get a better GPU down the road that will max out the 100Hz on this
