AOC Q27G4XM: 180Hz 27-inch QHD gaming monitor launches with Mini LED display and HDR10

Shortly after AOC unveiled the AG276QKD 480Hz gaming monitor, the company has launched another new model - the Q27G4XM. The newly launched 27-inch gaming monitor features an IPS panel with Mini LED technology and a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels (QHD). The monitor looks to be catered towards gamers who prefer high-performance displays, offering a refresh rate ranging from 48Hz to 180Hz. It also supports AMD FreeSync technology, which minimizes screen tearing and input lag for a more fluid, smooth gaming experience.

The AOC Q27G4XM is certified with HDR10 and DisplayHDR 1000, providing impressive contrast with a static ratio of 1000:1 and dynamic contrast up to 80 million:1. This here hints towards the monitor's ability to improve contrast during different scenes, particularly in dark scenes where the backlight dims to give the appearance of deeper blacks. It's not as reliable as static contrast for measuring real-world performance, but rather indicates the monitor's ability to adapt to different content.

The Mini LED backlight offers local dimming with 1152 zones, boosting black levels and stepping up peak brightness to 1200 nits. The monitor also achieves 100% sRGB and 99% DCI-P3 coverage, which means it should be suitable for content creation as well.

This gaming monitor is ergonomically designed, allowing for height adjustment (up to 130mm), tilt, and pivot. It is also VESA-mountable, adding even more flexibility for users who prefer to mount the monitor on a wall or arm stand. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Additionally, the monitor includes adaptive features like AOC's Low Blue Light, Flicker-Free technology, and a 1ms response time. There's no pricing info available for the monitor at the time of writing.
