About this deal

As above, but a significantly weaker LBL setting with no noticeable green tint. The blue channel is weakened only slightly compared to factory defaults. Zombie movies are one of the most iconic staples of the horror genre, there are plenty of good ones but a whole host that should've stayed dead. VA panels have become my personal favorite for gaming, delivering rich colors and excellent contrast compared to the twisted nematic (TN) panels so common to gaming displays. The trade-off is usually response time. AOC’s own AGON AG322QCX from mid-2018 is quoted at 4ms gray-to-gray, whereas a TN panel like the ASUS ROG Swift PG278QR can deliver 1ms. I say “usually” because AOC actually quotes the AG273QCX as featuring a 1ms “smart response,” which, by wording alone, made me raise an eyebrow. The AOC AG273QCX also supports HDR (High Dynamic Range), and it’s certified by VESA as DisplayHDR 400.

Alternatively, you may want to consider the Samsung C27HG70 1440p 144Hz curved VA monitor with better DisplayHDR 600 support. The AOC AG273QCX monitor is a gaming monitor that provides an incredible gaming experience right at your fingertips! Its 27-inch curved display immerses you completely in your games. But that’s not all—this monitor offers many more exciting features! It has a super-fast refresh rate of 144 Hz. In addition, the 1440p display ensures clear and intricate visuals, so you won’t miss any detail in your games. 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. 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

Danh sách so sánh

The AOC AG273QCX is an affordable 27″ 1440p 144Hz gaming monitor with 1ms MPRT, FreeSync 2, DisplayHDR 400, and plenty of additional features. Since most games support only 8-bit color and the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit color in games is negligible, this is not a significant downside.

As ‘Gamma3’, but brightness set to a much more comfortable level and slight colour channel adjustments made. Image appears vibrant and strongly saturated, but varied and well-balanced in many respects. The Lagom text appeared with red striping for the most part. This was somewhat more blended towards the top of the screen, with areas of a slightly darker red elsewhere. Around the edges there was a more distinct orange-red striping. There were shifts between various red tones and a more blended appearance alongside head movement changes. This indicates a moderate degree of viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, more so than IPS-type models but to a lesser extent than TN (and indeed some VA) models. The photo below gives a rough idea of how the Lagom text test appeared.

The gamma tests were a bit off, falling in the 2.3 range. Standard gamma calibration is 2.2, to these results are close but still slightly off. The gradient test was pristine, however, showing no banding whatsoever. The ghosting test also came out exceptionally well, which was borne out in my game tests where we observed no ghosting whatsoever. Gaming features include the Game Mode picture presets (FPS, RTS, Racing, and three ‘Gamer’ customizable profiles), Shadow Control and Game Control (color saturation and gamma curvature adjustments), Overdrive (Off, Weak, Medium, Strong), Dial Point (custom crosshair), Low Input Lag Mode, and Frame Counter. VSync is configured in the ‘Gaming’ section of ‘Radeon Settings’, where it is referred to as ‘Wait for Vertical Refresh’. You can either configure this globally under ‘Global Settings’ or for each game individually. The default is ‘Off, unless application specifies’ which means that VSync will only be active if you enable it within the game itself, if there is such an option. Such an option does usually exist – it may be called ‘sync every frame’ or something along those lines rather than simply ‘VSync’. Most users will probably wish to enable VSync when using FreeSync to ensure that they don’t get any tearing. You’d therefore select either the third or fourth option in the list, shown in the image below. The final option, ‘Enhanced Sync’, is a relatively new addition to the driver. This is an alternative to VSync which allows the frame rate to rise above the refresh rate (no VSync latency penalty) whilst potentially keeping the experience free from tearing or juddering. This requires that the frame rate comfortably exceeds the refresh rate, not just peaks slightly above it. We won’t be going into this in detail as it’s a GPU feature than a monitor feature.
