AOC Q27G3XMN/BK 1440p Mini LED gaming monitor with DisplayHDR 1000 and 180Hz

AOC brings the Q27G3XMN/BK to the UK, offering an affordable 1440p Mini LED gaming monitor with HDR1000. The focus is on delivering a notably high contrast ratio to customers.

The AOC Q27G3XMN/BK, set to hit the market soon, stands as a robust 1440p Mini LED gaming monitor model. Its use of mini-LED backlighting, organized into 336 individual zones, aims to achieve an exceptional contrast ratio and has earned the DisplayHDR 1000 certification.

Driving the display is a Fast VA panel with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels on its 27-inch screen. While it maintains sharp visuals, this resolution demands less computing power compared to 4K panels, ideal for achieving higher refresh rates.

Capable of reaching up to 180 Hz in refresh rate and boasting a one-millisecond gray-to-gray response time with pixel overdrive activated, this monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium. A strong color display, covering up to 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color space, is expected to benefit gamers.

Additionally, gamers have access to a crosshair feature at the center of the screen. OSD functions can be managed not only through monitor buttons but also via a corresponding program. The Mini LED HDR monitor offers adjustable height, tilt, rotation, and pivot capabilities.

The AOC Q27G3XMN/BK is available for purchase on Amazon.co.uk at £358, aiming to provide gamers with an immersive Mini LED HDR experience.
