Posted January 7, 2019 Hey guys! Salut! I'm all the way out here in Oman (Mideast) and I just got hooked up with a new PC; gtx 1080 armor, Ryzen 5 2600, 16gb ram and an nvme. I'm blessed and overjoyed. All this made me feel like my 1080p@60hz monitor was the grand bottleneck, so I'm buying a better monitor. However, I'm too scared to buy from canada for cheap and have a friend carry it to me. (I thought of dedicating a luggage bag, a full size blanket, a pillow and a puffy coat to wrap it). Then I thought I should just pay the premium 80-170usd to have it shipped directly to me. I'm sure its a worthwhile investment. I havent ordered yet but I did end up with this. Its a 1440p, 144Hz monitor. 27" 1ms, AOC monitor with lots of cool IO and headphone features + freesync. So far love it! Import/shipping tax for it is lower than the others and I just read that VRR monitors are getting tested by nvidia so I that I can use this monitor's freesync capability with G-SYNC. In that site, I saw that they marked a variant of this monitor (AG271QG instead of AG271QX), as capable of this feature with the upcoming driver this 15th, which means then I'll be able to utilize the VRR functionality on my GPU with this monitors freesync! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SO! My questions are, -Is this a fair buy for the setup I have? Will I be utilizing the monitor fully? -Do you have any experience with AOC monitors? Maybe even this very one? -What are your opinions, thoughts or flags for this post? All reply's are appreciated. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Although all monitors will have some bleeding, especially if they are IPS. I have an AG271QG and mine seems to be not as bad as the Acer or ASUS comparable models.

Posted January 7, 2019 My AOC AG271QX is doing well. No dead pixels or other issues. One thing you should note though, the AG271QX isn't just a Freesync version on the AG271QG. The QG uses an IPS panel, the QX is a TN panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an AG271QG and mine seems to be not as bad as the Acer or ASUS comparable models. this is another monitor I'm considering. Theres the AOC Agon AG271QX, MSI MAG27CQ and the Acer XG270HU. All of them seem really good for what they are with the AOC having the most external features like headphone rest, USB ports etc. The MSI has its sleek design and LED backlights and its stand while the Acer has the best bezels and from what I've seen, good quality bezels and just Acer having that reputation. If anyone can give me a light nudge into the right direction here, I'd be super happy haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
