About this deal

The general construction is made of a durable matte textured plastic that looks clean and will meld into any setup with no issue. Overall the 24G2U was a very solid gaming screen and we were impressed by the all-round performance given the low cost so it’s capable of a lot more beyond gaming. It had a very good default setup, high contrast ratio for an IPS panel and the kind of all round performance you’d expect from this technology. Importantly it offered very good response times, a high refresh rate and low input lag. MBR wasn’t perfect which was a shame. AOC 27G2U This has a few pros; the new VA panel provides even better colour reproduction and a much higher static contrast ratio. This leads to a more vibrant and deep image whether you are gaming, watching movies or creating content. Some games that have a muted pallete do not take full advantage of this increased vibrancy, but on brighter, more colourful games the difference is staggering. On the software side, the Q27G2U has a myriad of options, including a sneaky crosshair overlay (that I most definitely haven’t used in hardcore CoD…) There are also a fair few game modes that cater to different genres of game. I mostly sit in the FPS mode but they all add their own colour and screen tune for the best experience. I did spend an awful amount of time using the racing mode as well. I must say the modes cater very well to the big games in their respective categories. A színek gyönyörűek, viszont ehhez azért bele kell ásnunk magunkat a beállításokba, alapból ugyanis kicsit kékes színárnyalatokkal operál.

Removing the stand reveals the VESA 100 mount, which is perfectly centred and means the monitor is distributed evenly, and it can even be comfortably mounted upside down. SummaryThe Q27G2U also comes with a good amount of connectivity, including two HDMI 1.4 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.2 input, four USB 3.0 inputs including a fast-charging port, a VGA port and a headphone output. 144Hz options are available (depending on device) through HDMI and DisplayPort. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it should be more than enough for almost any user. Contrast ratio was particularly strong for an IPS-type panel at 1337:1 out of the box which was excellent. This was maintained after calibration at 1329:1. A very good result from an IPS-type panel. Our calibrated settings are listed in the table below [ detailed report], and our calibrated ICC profile is available here if you want to try it Reponses Time Performance at Maximum Refresh Rate 144Hz The 24GL650 is a fairly typical TN Film outing, but that’s not a bad thing when it comes to a budget gaming screen. There are very good response times and a high refresh rate offering very good motion clarity for fast moving content. That is also achieved without any overshoot which is pleasing, and the performance is consistent and reliable across the VRR range too. There’s also low lag and a pretty decent motion blur reduction mode available. As typical with many TN Film screens the default setup leaves a lot to be desired, but can be corrected reasonably well through the OSD at least. There is also a mediocre contrast ratio after calibration, and typical limited viewing angles of this technology. It’s not as good for other general uses as some of the VA and IPS options in this article, but a solid performer for gaming. Pixio PX247 Recommended brightness setting – to achieve approx 120 cd/m 2, which is the recommended luminance for LCD monitors in normal lighting conditions Recommended OSD settings – our calibrated settings to reach an optimal hardware setup, aiming for 2.2 gamma, 6500k white point, 120 cd/m 2 luminance and highest contrast ratio. You will find our calibrated ICC profile in the relevant section for each screen as well if you want to try it.

At the maximum refresh rate of the screen we will also include our familiar more detailed response time measurements, which includes a wider range of transition measurements as well as some analysis of things like the refresh rate compliance. This identifies how many of the measured pixel transitions were fast enough to keep up with the frame rate of the screen. Ideally you’d want pixel response times to be consistently and reliably shorter than this refresh rate cycle, otherwise if they are slower it can lead to additional smearing and blurring on moving content. In a game like Sea of Thieves, the higher peak brightness, better colour and better contrast ratio led to a gorgeous and more immersive world. This is not the only area the Q27G2U will excel: In creative software, the VA panel has a clear advantage, where colour replication is king and fast response is second. Maga a monitor anyaghasználata minőségire sikeredett, szerencsére mindenhol matt anyagot használtak, így nem kell attól tartani, hogy karcos/maszatos lesz a zongoralakk. Nem mondanám prémiumnak, mert fémet azért még nyomokban sem tartalmaz, viszont hozza a kötelezőt. Összegzés A gyönyörű képen túl, viszont azért az IPS technológia árnyoldalával is együtt kell élnünk. Így a valós válaszidő az 1 ms helyett lehet, hogy 3-4 vagy időnként 5-6 ms-re rúg, épp ezért a a profi esportolóknak jobb választás a TN, de ők úgyis a 240, vagy manapság már 360 Hz-es darabokat keresik. Cserébe viszont nem kell tartanunk a fakó színektől sem a rossz betekintési szögektől.

The stand also allows the monitor to be fully adjusted in height, rotation, tilt and swivel. This means that no matter what your positioning needs are, the Q27G2U has you covered. There was also an HDR mode hidden in the OSD that I decided to try, and while I can appreciate it may not be the same high HDR standard we expect from much more expensive HDR600+ or FALD panels, it did give me a very similar look and style as I have experienced on other mid-range HDR monitors in the past. Default white point (colour temperature)– we aim for 6500k which is the temperature of daylight, so will measure the default setup out of the box and include the % deviance from this target

The Q27G2U is the higher-end variation of the excellent AOC 27G2U that we reviewed recently. Improvements over its counterparts response focused IPS display include an updated VA panel and a higher resolution of 1440p.

With 2560 x 1440 resolution, Quad HD (QHD) offers superior picture quality and sharp imagery that reveals the finest details. The widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio provides plenty of space to spread out and work, plus allows you to enjoy games or movies in their original size. Some simple OSD adjustments as detailed in the table above help improve the gamma and white point nicely, as well as tone down the very bright out of the box setup (which is at 100% brightness) [ detailed report of optimal settings pre-calibration]. After calibration we had improved things nicely and further improved the gamma and the dE colour accuracy through the profiling stage. The OSD RGB channels needed a fair adjustment to correct the white point, and this in turn impacted the contrast ratio quite a lot, leaving us with only 741:1 after calibration. Fairly normal for a TN Film screen but a bit low really and this may lead to some loss of shadow detail in darker content. A bit of banding on colour gradients was also introduced due to the further gamma corrections needed at a profile level [ detailed calibration report]. Our calibrated ICC profile is available here if you want to try it. Response Time Performance at Maximum Refresh Rate 144Hz One other note is that when you change to the User mode colour temperature setting the screen looks massively washed out and bright, as the RGB channels are all set at 100 by default. Once you’ve changed those to something like our recommended settings it looks fine, and delivers a white point close to 6500k. Further calibration using our i1 Pro 2 device made some final corrections and produced an ICC profile [ detailed report]. Contrast ratio was actually improved a little through using this User Mode colour temperature, now measured at 3166:1 which was pleasing. The brightness adjustment at the bottom end was limiting as we said above. One other observation was that yellow shades looks a little more mustard than bright yellow in visual tests, and we didn’t seem to be able to correct this from the screen settings.
