AOC Q27G10E2: 27-inch QHD IPS gaming monitor launches with 180Hz and 100% sRGB color gamut

The Q27G10E2 is AOC's newest 27-inch gaming monitor that succeeds the Q27G10E, launched in the second half of 2023. The monitor seems great for users who prefer a balance between refresh rate, resolution, and visual performance. It features a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) IPS panel with a refresh rate of up to 180Hz.

The IPS panel has 178-degree viewing angles and a 100% sRGB color gamut for color accuracy and consistent image quality. It also supports HDR10. The 300-nit brightness level is standard for monitors in this category, while the 1000:1 static contrast ratio and 8-bit color depth should contribute to a well-rounded visual performance.

AOC has included Adaptive-Sync and AMD FreeSync to reduce screen tearing and stuttering. The response time is rated at 0.5ms (MPRT). Features like low input lag, motion blur reduction, and dynamic contrast adjustment are also present.

For connectivity, the monitor includes two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a 3.5mm audio out jack, making it compatible with both PCs and gaming consoles. The ergonomic design includes a VESA mount (100 x 100mm) for flexible placement, though it lacks height adjustment and pivot rotation.

AOC has also integrated features such as low blue light mode, flicker-free technology, game tone adjustment, and a frame counter. However, the lack of height adjustability might be a limitation for users looking for a more ergonomic setup.

While the AOC Q27G10E2 does not push the boundaries of refresh rates seen in some high-end esports displays, it provides a solid option for gamers looking for a relatively high refresh rate and sharp visuals without breaking the bank. The exact pricing and availability should be out soon enough.
