27" AOC Q27G42XE
The AOC Q27G42XE gaming monitor combines a 27" Fast IPS panel with Quad HD (2560 × 1440) resolution and a high 180Hz refresh rate, delivering a sharp image and exceptionally smooth motion. A 1ms (GtG) response time effectively reduces motion blur and ghosting in fast-paced gaming action. With a 180Hz refresh rate, this monitor supports Adaptive-Sync technology and offers G-Sync compatibility, eliminating screen tearing from 48 to 180Hz. For a better visual experience, it displays HDR10 standard content, which expands the contrast and colour palette. Wide colour coverage of 120% sRGB is useful not only for gaming but also for graphics work where colour accuracy is key.

High performance for smooth gaming
The AOC Q27G42XE monitor uses a flat Fast IPS panel with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. The high 180Hz refresh rate combined with a low response time of 1ms (GtG) and 0.5ms (MPRT) provides smooth rendering of fast-paced scenes without unwanted blur. Thanks to these parameters, the monitor provides a clear visual response, which is important for gaming. Low input lag further contributes to an instant response to the player's commands.

This makes the colours vibrant and accurate. A brightness of 300 cd/m² along with a static contrast ratio of 1,000:1 and HDR10 support improves detail in both light and dark areas of the image, deepening the visual experience in supported games and films.

Colour Gamut
Determines how accurately a monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, films or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB will be appreciated by graphic designers or professionals at work. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
A value given in nits or cd/m² determines the brightness of the monitor. Brightness above 400 nits is crucial for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values above 250. Refresh Rate and Response Time
The refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye strain. A lower response time (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
