AOC U27G40E: New 4K gaming monitor launches with 160Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB coverage, and 1ms response time

AOC has introduced the U27G40E in the Chinese market - a 27-inch gaming monitor for those who prioritize high-res gaming. Built with an IPS panel and 4K UHD resolution, this monitor should stand out for its sharp, color-accurate display, backed by sRGB 100% coverage and DCI-P3 at 97%. The brightness reaches 350 cd/m², with support for DisplayHDR 400 to achieve better detail across bright and dark areas of the screen.

Gamers will appreciate the 160Hz refresh rate, which is not the highest by any means but will do the trick if you're looking to enjoy demanding titles at higher resolutions. Coupled with Adaptive Sync, the U27G40E should provide tear-free gameplay, with support for both AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync. The monitor’s 1ms response time should be great for fast-paced action titles.

The U27G40E includes essential connectivity options, with two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4. A 3.5mm audio out jack is also present for external sound systems. On the ergonomic front, the monitor features a basic tilt adjustment of 5° forward and 23° backward. While it lacks height adjustment and swivel options, it is VESA mount compatible, offering flexibility for wall or arm setups.

The AOC U27G40E features a frameless three-sided design. Power consumption is moderate at 27 watts on average. The anti-glare matte finish (3H) should reduce reflections and eye strain during extended use. There's no pricing available for the gaming monitor yet, but it should lie in the mid-range segment.
