Gaming monitors can be expensive and if you have been eyeing up an upgrade to your TV or old monitor, Amazon might have a pretty good offer for you to consider.That’s because the AOC Gaming Q27G2E monitor is only £149 – down from £219, it may be a perfect little purchase if you work from home and game at the same time.
It hasn’t got all the bells and whistles but it is a 1440p VA monitor with a 155hz refresh rate so you can make sure most of your games look nice and smooth – whether your playing FPS games or the latest AAA titles.
It also has a pixel response time of 1ms MPRT means speed without the smear for an enhanced gaming experience so fast-moving action and dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without the annoying effects of ghosting.
It’s also G-sync compatible so anyone who has a Nvidia graphics card will be able to take advantage of less tearing that you would on other monitors.
There are also great reviews on the monitor. One reviewer said: “This monitor is perfect for gaming very fats refresh rate and it looks nice as well the colors aren’t to vibrant but I only use it for gaming so it doesn’t bother me i would recommend these to anyone getting into gaming its very affordable and great quality.”
However, people have complained about the colours and the contrast so if you want a picture perfect monitor, you might want to look elsewhere. One reviewer added: “It will not win any awards for image quality or nice to have features- forget about using the HDR, the contrast isn’t great, there’s quite a lot of ghosting, but at the end of the day, you get what you pay for and can’t expect it to perform like a £1000 OLED. Well built, good value monitor.”
If you want an alternative that’s slightly cheaper and don’t mind a 1080p screen, this Lenovo monitor is £139 and might be a better choice if you want to save pennies.
