For gamer and photographer
AOC 27G2U is an inexpensive gaming monitor with a diagonal of 27" and a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels (classic 16:9 aspect ratio). Unlike the brotherly AOC C27G1, it does not have a screen curve and is based on IPS instead of a VA matrix. An even display without distortion of the shape of objects and an increased colour gamut (sRGB 118%, NTSC 85%) allow you to comfortably use it also for photo processing and colour correction in video editing, at least at an amateur level.
Get ahead of the enemy
The AOC 27G2U is made gaming not only by a futuristic design, but also by an increased refresh rate from typical 60-75 to 144 Hz and a reduced (as far as possible for IPS) response time. So, the GtG hardware delay is only 5 ms, and taking into account the MPRT software acceleration, it is 1 ms. All this adds smoothness in dynamic multiplayer games. And if you want an even higher refresh rate and even lower GtG response, take the AOC Agon AG272FCX6 based on a VA matrix with 165 Hz and 4 ms.
Kvadratish, praktish, gud
The AOC 27G2U did not stint on ergonomics: a wide, weighty leg not only makes the monitor reinforced concrete stable, but also allows you to adjust the screen height and even rotate it 90 degrees (another advantage of IPS technology over VA, which, due to the specific shape of the pixels, fades when portrait mode). There was a place for a pair of built-in stereo speakers with a total power of 4 W, and four USB ports, and high-speed 3.0. However a Type-B USB cable for connecting to a PC is not included in the kit (fortunately, it is sold in any electronics store and costs mere pennies).
Reasonable balance
All in all, the AOC 27G2U is a solid mid-sized monitor that will appeal to hardcore gamers and novice photographers alike. Of course, for eagle-eyed users, FullHD resolution at 27-inch diagonal may seem too “grainy” (only 82 PPI). But it will certainly allow you to get a stable 144 FPS in eSports games like CSGO and Dota 2, even with an inexpensive graphics card. Moreover, AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync technologies automatically synchronize the frame rate with hertz. And if you are a fan of purely story-driven games, where 60-75 FPS is enough, you can save a little on buying a 75 Hz AOC 27G2U5.
