AOC 27G2S 27-inch FHD gaming monitor with 165Hz, 1ms

AOC is expanding its popular Agon G2 gaming monitor series with a new AOC 27G2S with a faster IPS panel. The new best 27 inch gaming monitor offers a rapid refresh rate of 165Hz and a frameless design.

AOC presents a 165 Hz monitor successor 27G2S. The newly launched AOC gaming monitor can be tilted, swiveled, pivoted, and adjusted in height. It features a slim 3-sided frameless design that allows seamless integration into large multi-monitor setups.

AOC installs fast IPS panel with a Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, which creates a refresh rate of 165Hz. In addition, a response time of 1 millisecond (MPRT) and G-SYNC compatible support on AOC’s Agon display should effectively prevent ghosting, image stuttering, and tearing.

Other features of the new AOC 27G2S are game-specific settings such as “Game Color” to adjust the color saturation, “Dial Point” as a crosshair overlay for precise aiming, a low-blue mode for longer Game sessions at night, and three game modes for different genres like FPS, RTS, Racing and three custom modes. Fine-tuning of the monitor details is possible via the new OSD software G-Menu.

The AOC 27G2S 27 inch gaming monitor is already listed on the Amazon.com store at a retail price of $179.99.
