> 3 dayOn the AOC website, they claim the CQ27G3S has a response time of 1ms MPRT and 4ms GtG. I didnt believe the 4ms gtg would be such a big hit on the monitors ability to control ghosting, but darker scenes have a lot more noticeable ghosting. I tested ghosting using ufo test, so not really gaming environment, but it gives an idea on how the monitor reacts to certain scenes. Bright scenes are quite tame with almost no ghosting, while the darkest scene has the most noticeable. Overdrive setting on strong seems to lessen the length of the trail. Its not unplayable and for a VA panel, I didnt expect much. 7/10 165hz refresh rate is very nice because it allows for more smoother gameplay. I switched from a 60hz 4k to a 165hz 2k and the difference is huge. The quality of the image is about the same unless youre staring right at a single pixel looking for it. The only problem with the refresh rate is that 165hz is unstable. The actual monitor refresh rate fluctuates between 165hz and 160hz. It doesnt affect performance, however, its still a bit misleading. It is most stable at 144hz and does just as good. If you needed exactly 165hz for some reason, this monitor is not the best. The pixel density is very high for a small screen so the images are really clear. Anything above 28 for a 1440p/2k monitor is going to be poor. Coming from 4k 28 to 2k 27 there isnt much difference in image quality. Especially if you upscale resolution in games, its basically the same picture. 8/10 The colors also needed some work to get it perfect. There are three ways to make the screen brighter: brightness, contrast, and rgb settings. If you raise all of the rgb equally, the brightness also increases. Too high of a contrast will raise brightness, but also make all of the colors look weird. Adjust to your own preference. There is little to no back bleed. Only the slightest grey patch in the upper right corner, but unless youre in a completely dark room with a black screen playing, its completely unnoticeable. 9/10 The OSD menu is poorly developed. Modifying certain menu items will modify other related items, understandably so, however, it doesnt revert back to default. Which means if you have a good set up and modify your settings to experiment, you will lose your previous set up. Maybe not that big of a deal, but a peeve of mine. I wish it doesnt save until you hit a separate button to save. For now, it gets the job done, but if I ever wanted to change something, I would lose all my previous settings which is very unfortunate. 7/10 Its 2k at 27, 144hz stable refresh, curved VA, and affordable with a 4 year warranty against any manufacturer defect(dont quote me). Very much a worthy buy. 8/10

> 3 dayI have 2 of these monitors, they look great, I do not think i can see a real difference between 144 and 60 hrz, but what i can see is the difference in input lag using this instead of the TV i was using, it made the difference between Super Mario Bros (1985) being playable and not being playable Free-sync for me was buggy on linux xubuntu 18.04 (April 2019) unusable with 2 screens attached to a GTX 1060 3GB (free-syncs can only work in 1 monitor setups, but if you turn on off it should work) when the frame rates drops in the 40 to 60 area the screen will blank and reset the config on both displays, with 1 display it works with bugs, i was unable to reproduce some/all of this on Manjaro linux (manjaro stays close to the bleeding edge of software, so it gets newer stuff) Free-sync works fine in windows, you can get a little flickering on loading screens, to my understanding this is normal for VA panels From what i can see FLC is far more aggressive in windows than Linux, this panel supports 48-144 Hrz, but on windows it appears to trigger LFC at 60Hrz, thus avoiding the issue i had in linux, i do not have a AMD GPU to test this with, only a GTX 1060 3GB, i believe i was using one of the 1st few drivers to support freesync on nvidia, so changes could have been made in the past ~4 months I highly recommend the review of this product on pcmonitor.info, that review will help you far more than any review on amazon, they even have a calibration file for this monitor The build quality in crazy good it was able to survive a impact in shipping shipping that put a hole all the way to the screen and not take any damage, it only left residue from the bag that protects the screen that wiped right off My neighbor signed for this package since i was not home at the time and did not look at the other side of the package, If i had seen that i would not have accepted it, but it was too late for that, so i asked the seller (E- Center USA) what they wanted to do, so i opened it up and inspected it and to my disbelief it was actually not damaged, the only thing on the screen was residue from the smooth plastic bag that protects the screen from scratches, the screen was not damaged in-spite of something putting a hole in said bag

> 3 dayThings you should know: - This monitor does have great picture quality, if you haven’t move up in resolution or hertz this will be a nice improvement. You will need to adjust brightness settings when you first set it up, but overall it’s got a smooth and clean color scheme. - There is a little bit of screen bleeding around the edges of the monitor (lightness during black screens when the monitor is on) nothing noticeable during games, maybe more so with movies or cinematics. - Sturdy mount with a decent range of motion for adjustments, slim bezels as well, clean look for both the monitor and stand. - Haven’t tested out the speakers out yet, but if you’re using this for gaming you’ll have a headset on the majority of the time. Overall 86/100 Great product, one of the cheapest I’ve seen with this product quality.

> 3 day240hz 1080p, just change settings to video game mode and raise brightness and it’s really good. Honestly worth what it cost and a coupe months after I still do not regret buying it even a little.

> 3 dayI was able to get the monitor on sale for $150. Great monitor for the price. Colors are vivid and getting 144-165 fps is amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade without breaking the bank like I was.
