AOC Q27G4X 27-inch gaming monitor with QHD and 180Hz revealed

Last year in November, the new AOC Q27G4XN gaming monitor was introduced in the US market. Now, a similar model called the Q27G4X is being released in the UK. This 27-inch monitor, on the other hand, features an IPS panel with WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels). In addition, it boasts a maximum refresh rate of 180 Hz and is DisplayHDR-400 certified.

The AOC Q27G4X, in particular, offers 10-bit color depth (likely 8-bit + FRC). Furthermore, it boasts a fast gray change of 1 ms and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Additionally, it includes G-Sync compatible Adaptive Sync technology to effectively prevent tearing. Additionally, there appears to be a mode specifically designed to reduce moving image blur, according to the official product page.

In terms of connectivity, the monitor provides HDMI 2.0 (supporting WQHD at a max. of 144 Hz), DisplayPort 1.4 (supporting WQHD at a max. of 180 Hz), and a headphone output. While the product images show two HDMI inputs, the data sheet only mentions one.

In regards to ergonomics, the AOC Q27G4X offers various adjustments such as rotation, tilt, height adjustment, pivot, VESA mounting (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and a flicker-free backlight.

Price and availability

The price of the AOC Q27G4X is £229.99, and it is currently available for purchase on Amazon.co.uk.
