About this deal

Using the MBR option in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu of the monitor, you can manually alter the strobing frequency (motion clarity vs picture brightness ratio). Features Finally, thanks to the screen resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, the 27″ AOC AG273QCX has a pixel density of 108 PPI (pixels per inch), which means you’ll get sharp details as well as plenty of screen space without having to use scaling. The monitor offers excellent contrast and brightness levels, making it easy to differentiate between light and dark areas in games. This enhances the overall visual experience, making scenes more captivating and realistic. The brightness levels are adjustable, so you can optimize them according to your preferences and the ambient lighting conditions in your gaming space.

A very solid and ergonomically flexible design and a decent HDR implementation as far as VESA DisplayHDR 400 goes The floor of operation for VRR was 60Hz (60fps) rather than 48Hz (48fps). Or 55Hz (55fps) if you’ve set the monitor to 120Hz. As above, an LFC-like technology was available. It’s a 27-inch flat gaming monitor with QHD resolution and to please the most avid gamers, has a 0.5ms response time, paired with a 240Hz refresh rate, made possible at this price because of the TN panel.Results here were good, with no significant deviations recorded. There were some patches of relative weakness (warmer colour temperature), particularly centrally, but the deviation recorded was not significant. Note again that individual units vary when it comes this and other aspects of uniformity and that you can expect deviation beyond the measured points. The VA panel also brings with it perceived deviations in colour temperature which aren’t accounted for by these measurements. Indeed, we did observe a noticeably cooler look to white and light greys towards the flanks of the screen which was most intense when viewing from a relatively close viewing position (<60cm).

The weakest LBL setting with only a very mild effect on blue light output or indeed the overall image.In the middle, there’s a spot to attach the stand, and you can also use it with a VESA mount if you want to use your stand. The stand is pretty cool, too, as you can adjust its height up to 110mm, swivel it left and right, and tilt it from -4° to 22° for a comfortable view. But it doesn’t rotate or pivot. Connectivity

The AOC AG273QCX is not certified as G-SYNC compatible by NVIDIA, but you can use FreeSync with compatible GPUs (GTX 10-series or newer). As above, but a significantly weaker LBL setting with no noticeable green tint. The blue channel is weakened only slightly compared to factory defaults. Viewing angles aren't bad, and I experienced no issues with light bleed or on-screen artifacts. The low response time and excellent support for gaming also make sure you'll notice very little in terms of lag in-game. If you're gaming, this display was made for you.If you are more of a casual gamer and plan to switch between using the monitor for work, gaming and TV streaming, there are more affordable options out there that may be better suited. But the AOC AGON AG273QZ offers a lot to serious gamers who want to enjoy super-smooth gaming at 1440p. A moderately effective ‘Low Blue Light’ (LBL) setting. This provides a fairly significant reduction in the strength of the blue channel and lowers blue light output from the monitor. The image appears warmer than the factory defaults and a green tint is introduced. This green tint isn’t extreme - your eyes adjust to it fairly readily given some time. Some users may wish to use the monitor at a lower resolution than the native 2560 x 1440 (WQHD). Either for performance reasons or because they’re using a device (such as a games console) that doesn’t support the full native resolution. The monitor provides scaling functionality via both DP and HDMI. It can be run at resolutions such as 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) at up to 120Hz and use an interpolation (scaling) process to fill the pixels of the screen up. If you’re connected via HDMI 2.0, the monitor also supports an upscaled 3840 x 2160 (‘4K’ UHD) signal at up to 60Hz. This will be useful if you’re using a games console which supports that resolution but not the native 2560 x 1440. To ensure the monitor rather than GPU is handling the scaling process, as a PC user, you need to ensure the GPU driver is correctly configured so that the GPU doesn’t take over the scaling process. For AMD users that are using this monitor, the driver is set up correctly by default to allow the monitor to interpolate where possible. Nvidia users should open Nvidia Control Panel and navigate to ‘Display – Adjust desktop size and position’. Ensure that ‘No Scaling’ is selected and ‘Perform scaling on:’ is set to ‘Display’ as shown in the following image. The video below summarises some of the key points raised in this written review and shows the monitor in action. The video review is designed to complement the written piece and is not nearly as comprehensive.
