What a performance!

I bought this screen to replace mine (a full hd). What can I say except that it is truly one of the only entry-level gamer screens to have a more than good quality/price ratio! I can't find a single flaw in either the performance or the design! I highly recommend this screen for gamers who, like me, will find it fully satisfactory.

Do not buy this screen

I bought a screen less than 6 months ago and playing 8/10 hours a week (nothing extravagant), the screen is starting to lose pixels (1 to be precise). After contacting LDLC's after sales service, they "kindly" sent me back to the manufacturer (in short, you have to deal with AOC, it's not our business). After several exchanges with AOC and despite the mention in the first email that only 1 pixel (but 1 pixel too many for me) is dead. I was told that 1 pixel is not enough for an after sales service. We are not talking about a sub-brand screen at 80€, but a screen at more than 300€, at this price we should expect a certain quality and by taking on LDLC, a site that prides itself on its after-sales service, expect a correct support for this kind of material. After all, what's the point of paying 300€ for a 144Hz screen if it's only to play with dead pixels in the middle of the screen. You might as well buy a 100€ screen. My only advice is not to buy this brand and even less here.

        Sad

        1 and a half years after purchase, a vertical blue line has just popped up on the left-hand side. My previous screen had lasted almost 7 years before I got the blue stripe. Fortunately, the screen is still under warranty. Apart from this problem (which is important given the price), the screen does its job well, and there are quite a few adjustments you can make, particularly to reduce visual fatigue.

        Strongly avoid

        Bought it 2 months ago and after a little fiddling, the screen cracked completely. I haven't finished paying for it and it's already dead... No commercial gesture from LDLC or AOC. Not happy.

        Beautiful screen

        I've been very satisfied with this screen for over a year now and have nothing to complain about. A few options that are a bit gimmicky for my taste that I don't use.
        But for office use or gaming it's great.

        Avoid

        Ghosting on fps and screen that won't turn on even after 1 month
        I've been waiting for a replacement screen that is scratched with glue on it and won't turn on. I'm waiting to replace it, hoping to get one that works and is clean for a change.

        out of order as soon as it comes out of the box

        The screen is a big dark area on the right side of the screen, 5 cm wide and the whole height of the screen, too bad on paper it was perfect and supplied with all the possible cables.

        Good 1st prize

        Super good value for money, excellent choice for 27" 144hz!

        BUT I still prefer Iiyama screens for the final rendering which is sharper in my opinion (I always feel that the screen is dark)

        Unreliable and faulty screen

        Non-vertical screen footer! I said to myself, too bad, I'll keep it anyway.
        I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure how long it'll last, so I'm going to keep it for a while.
        It is impossible to send it back as a retraction!
        I'm keeping it until it becomes permanent and I can claim on the warranty.
        I don't recommend this screen and I'd rather not use it! Unless you want to lose your money!

        Great screen!

        I give this rating because the screen is qualitative, both in terms of image and physical aspect. I use it mainly for developing and gaming. A 27" curved is perfect for that. I had trouble switching to 2K: I had put the HDMI cable in instead of the DisplayPort cable that came with it.

        Poor backlighting

        The screen is beautiful, 144Hz is nice, the WQHD resolution is also quite suitable for a 27" screen.
        However, the biggest drawback in my opinion is the backlighting. It is absolutely not homogeneous (8 big whitish spots). The problem is such that I asked AOC to replace it and they accepted it after viewing photos of the problem.
        After a long wait (stock exhausted due to the COVID crisis), the replacement screen is identical.
        I don't recommend this screen, which could be suitable for office use, but because of its 144Hz frequency, it is aimed at the gaming market, where it doesn't really shine (the darkest scenes are really unpleasant)

        Close to excellence

        Excellent QHD screen with VA panel for a reasonable price of 319€. Contrast, brightness and colour are top notch with a GTX1660Ti.
        With the 144Hz frequency the image quality in game (GR Breakpoint) is simply magnificent allowing to see details until now blurred or non-existent. For my first curved screen, I am bluffed by the immersive side and I recommend it for those who would still hesitate.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use a curved screen or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use a curved screen, and I'm sure it's a good idea to use a curved screen.
        Ok the buttons are still from the old generation, but once you have done the settings.... the buttons are not useful anymore and that's why I won't put 100 to 200€ more just to have a pad that I will only use once every 5 years.
        Very good product that I recommend.

        Ineffective manufacturer's after-sales service

        The screen itself seems pretty good...except that it worked for 1 month and then it doesn't display anything (switched on and then impossible to display even when changing the PC and HDMI cable). The AOC after sales service tells me that they will exchange the product within 2/3 working days and I follow their procedure. I have to say that I am not sure what to do with the product, but I have been told that I will be able to get the product exchanged within 2/3 working days. In response I receive a new exchange notice (with a slightly different procedure...), as if the request had not been processed the first time... except that when I go and look in the request follow-up, I see that the status indicates that they have no stock (which is not indicated at all in their email) to make the exchange (nor an approximate time limit) so I have no idea if I'm going to be left without a screen for 1, 2 or 3 months.....

        VA slab, so be careful!

        I was not satisfied with this screen due to significant ghosting.
        I bought it as a replacement for an old 22" TN panel of 1ms and I didn't expect such a ghosting in office use.
        The stand is excellent and for the price the finish is present but for me the important ghosting due to the VA panel is prohibitive.
        I have switched to another monitor with a TN panel, the ASUS VG27BQ, which gives me complete satisfaction.

        What a screen!

        Hello,

        Living in the DOM-TOM I have been looking for a long time for a screen that fits in my budget of max 350€ with the characteristics of this one! In vain...

        I finally took the plunge (not always easy to order a screen from a distance, so fragile...). But what a pleasant surprise when I unpacked it! Very clean screen, perfectly adjustable, a remarkable quality (I'm coming out of FHD, it's so good for the eyes!). No dead pixels for the moment (my fear...)

        On the other hand, the box of the screen was not packed. I didn't expect that, it's the original box that made the trip on the plane! But it arrived intact! Phew.

        In short I recommend this screen! Excellent quality/price ratio.

        17" cq27g2u/bk monitor review

        I ordered this screen because I had just changed my gaming setup and wanted to enjoy a 2k 144 fps screen and frankly the screen is almost perfect. It meets my expectations in terms of performance and especially the 144 fps are a must have on a 27" in 2020. I'm not sure if it's a good screen or not, but I'm sure it's a good screen, and I'm sure it's a good screen, and I'm sure it's a good screen.

        AOC 27" LED

        It's a great screen, going from an aging 2010s 60hz TN panel to this... I'm rediscovering much prettier games, the 144hz on games that allow it leaves a nice fluid feeling.
        The curved panel is excellent too.
        The 1440p is well adapted to the size of the screen.

        For £319 you get a great screen so go for it!

        (No dead pixels or skylights)

        Good screen!

        It is a very good screen and the rendering is really clean, after several months of use I have nothing to report, the 2K in game is just impeccable! Only reproach can be, the sounds... Well, clearly it's not for that that we buy a screen but there, limit, nothing it was better ^^.

        I recommend it ;)

        Very good!

        This screen is great! It has a good stability thanks to its large foot, I prefer this style of star foot as I find it stable but you can put things between the feet unlike the rectangular block foot. The stand has a rotation axis, the screen can be tilted back and forth and left and right (it is not possible to put it vertically though).
        The only small drawback of this screen is the light leakage when the screen is black (6 on mine).

        Perfect

        The stand is quite large and needs to be placed on the desk.

        Really TOP

        Satisfied: The parcel was well received and the box was completely intact (Note: I live in Reunion Island).

        The screen is very nice, the finish is good and the settings are easy to adjust via the OSD.
        It seems that it is HDR, and G-sync well recognized with my 2060 Super.
        144 Hz is a real change!

        It's very good value for money, I recommend it.
        Good games to all!

        Simple to install on a VESA arm, nice colours, nice contrast, well recognised by my 2070S for G-sync. At this price, it's just perfect. Very fast delivery.

        Very nice screen but I had a defect

        I received the order very quickly, as usual with LDLC. I have to say that my screen had a problem. I had a problem with my screen. When I started some games, the screen would go black and nothing would be displayed. Even if I plugged it into another PC, it remained black. I had to unplug it for about 10 minutes to get it working again.
        Back to the after-sales service for a standard exchange. The screen I received back works perfectly.
        I put 4 stars on 5 because of this small problem.
        I'm not an expert on 144Hz screens, so I can't speak about the afterglow or other issues that can be related to a screen. But I am very happy with it.

        Excellent screen.
        Delivery and reception without problems. No dead pixels.

        Very pleasant for gaming and work.

        Good surprise, it is G-Sync compatible via Nvidia although this is not indicated on the technical sheet.

        Very satisfied.

        Happy with my purchase but

        No worries about delivery or packaging for this product, works perfectly but really sucks not to put the hdmi cable that matches the model.
        It's a 144hz screen, it comes with an hdmi cable that only supports 40hz... very disappointing.
        I'm not worried about LDLC except for the shipping cost (25€) which they can't refund me for.

        AOC screen

        I'm going from a 24" to a 27" and especially from a 1080p to a 1440p.

        The screen is superb, beautiful finishes, beautiful colours ( to be adjusted for each user ) the curved is really a plus ( for me ) and the borderless also !
        No dead pixels on arrival ( phew ! )

        Coupled with a RX 5700XT it's fire! I have a great gaming session

        To take with closed eyes

        Perfect

        It's a really perfect screen! I use it for 1444p gaming at 144hz. It's a great screen for gaming.

        Excellent value for money

        A screen well adapted to video games, nervous display, with many settings.
        Nice design. Great contrast. HDR. Freesync premium.
        Good ergonomics, adjustable height and tilt. USB 3 hub;
        Built-in sound but really just for office use, and still ...
        I just wish it was G-sync too, but at this price you can't ask too much!
        Good quality delivery with LDLC, as usual.

        Nice screen, good quality

        A nice curved screen, a VA panel that gives very good results. The quality is there, I've been loyal to AOC for years and I haven't been disappointed yet. Let's hope it lasts

        Good value for money

        Solid, good quality screen. The 144hz are held and the response time is more than correct.
        The only big concern I can give it is the colorimetry. It was completely off the mark with burnt whites and colours that were completely distorted. It took me 2 hours to calibrate it +/- correctly in relation to a second monitor whose colorimetry was modified with a special probe. And still, the colours are not terrible.

        In short, it's a cream for gaming and I recommend it. If you do computer graphics, skip it.

        good product

        good screen with great colours and contrast
        I'm not a gamer so I haven't tested it in game
        great for video and the slight curvature immerses you in the action

        Excellent

        Excellent screen that I use for various games (RPG, FPS, adventure...). Nothing to say, very nice screen, beautiful image, fluid. No problems of any kind. To facilitate the settings there is a small utility that you can install. Well, it's a bit ugly, but it has the advantage of being able to adjust the monitor more easily than with the physical buttons.
        The colour settings were a bit weird at first, so I had to go back to more standard settings, but otherwise I'm very happy with my purchase.

        Very nice screen

        The screen is simply beautiful, the various display and hdmi sockets are well placed, accessible, and when you turn on the screen, it's a beautiful picture, I tested with a 4K video, the picture is simply stunning.

        Very nice screen

        The stand is sturdy, not bulky, and protrudes a few centimetres from the frame. The screen slides up and down easily for height. The OSD is accessible under the bottom right-hand edge with numerous settings. The colours are brilliant and the 144Hz resolution makes me rediscover my films. Connected in DP I have no problem. I took 1 point off the score because a slight clouding is present on the edges and visible during dark images. I installed the latest graphics drivers so that it is correctly recognized and changed video software. No dead pixels so far. Very happy with this nice screen at a relatively attractive price for a 27" WQHD.

        quality but lack of seriousness

        The box is quite sturdy but I am very disappointed with the packaging and the general state of the box (always the same thing with the carriers).
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one.
        I have a second screen like this one from AOC and I got my B-type cable with it... I think it's logical that there is a place for this cable in the packaging and that it is used for the basic use of the screen.
        In short, for a 300€ screen, it's clearly cheap!
        The screen itself is easy to mount and beautiful but the setup menu is not really easy to use.
        I've noticed that the adaptive-sync causes some input lag (and I'm not the only one who's had this happen to him), you just have to disable it.
        The screen comes with a CD to install the drivers, which are not available on the official website.
        The screen looks rather dark at first glance but the colours are really great and the overall display quality is good.
